Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a refuse container, comprising:
- a base;
- a body with a standing body peripheral wall, the lower edge of which is optionally coupled releasably to the base; and
- a cover which fits with its peripheral edge onto the upper edge of the body peripheral wall and is coupled releasably thereto by means of coupling means;
- which cover is provided with at least one opening providing access to the space inside the container
in which:- the body peripheral wall takes an upward tapering form;
- the cover has a cover peripheral wall and a closed upper wall, which cover peripheral wall takes an upward tapering form;
- both tapering forms are truncated cones;
- the or each opening is present in the cover peripheral wall; and
- the base, the body peripheral wall and the cover are nestable with respectively a similar base, body peripheral wall and cover;
- Such a container is known from e.g.
EP-A-0 692 436 . - It is an object of the invention to provide a refuse container which has improved stability.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a refuse container which has an aesthetically more attractive appearance than known refuse containers.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a refuse container which is mechanically strong and thus vandal-proof.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a refuse container designed for space-saving transport.
- Yet another object of the invention is to minimize the contact pressure between the lower edge of the cover and the mouth edge of the body and ensure easy clamping of the mouth edge of a plastic refuse bag.
- In respect of the above stated objectives the refuse container according to the invention is characterized in that
the coupling means are embodied such that they can clampingly hold the mouth edge of a plastic refuse bag, which refuse bag fits in the filled state into the bin formed by the base and the body;
the conicity of the body peripheral wall and that of the cover peripheral wall are the same; and
the lower edge of the cover is protruding outwardly and the mouth edge of the body peripheral wall is protruding inwardly such that they mutually overlap each other over a substantial surface arena.
With the invention a relatively large number of non-assembled containers can be transported in stacks of components and be assembled only at or in the vicinity of the final location. - It is noted that from
US-A-3 394 832 a refuse container or waste receptacle is known, in which the coupling means are embodied such that they clampingly hold the mouth edge of a disposable plastic or paper refuse bag by engagement thereof between two angular surfaces urged towards each other. - According to another aspect of the invention, the container has the feature that a number of, preferably three, openings are present in angularly equidistant arrangement in the cover.
- An attractive appearance is obtained with a variant in which the form of the or each opening in vertical side view more or less corresponds with the truncated cone shape of the cover peripheral wall, has more or less the form of an isosceles trapezium and has rounded corners.
- With a view to a still further improved stability and vandal-resistance, the container can have the special feature that the base is weighted with a weight, for instance an element of concrete, iron and/or lead.
- Easily transportable is a variant which has the feature that the base has on its outer surface two mutually parallel channels open to the outside in which the two prongs of a forklift truck can engage in order to lift the refuse container.
- So as to ensure that, during the gradual filling of the plastic refuse bag, the air in the space between the bag and the base and the body peripheral wall can escape, the container can advantageously have the special feature that the body peripheral wall has at least one perforation, which is present in the lower zone of this wall.
- A light but nevertheless mechanically very strong construction is obtained with an embodiment in which the base, the body and/or the cover are manufactured from plastic optionally reinforced with glass fibre, such as polyester, polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) or ABS.
- In a specific embodiment the container has the special feature that two lifting eyes situated diagonally opposite each other are placed on the outer side of the body peripheral wall.
- According to a specific aspect of the invention, this latter container can have the feature that the lifting eyes are releasable.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, the container has the feature that a lifting eye is arranged in the centre of the upper wall of the cover.
- The latter mentioned variants have in common that they facilitate the transportability of the container according to the invention. A very universal container is obtained with an embodiment in which said lifting and transport provisions are combined.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, the container is characterized by an annular tray which rests on the upper edge of the body peripheral wall and is held in position by the coupling means, and which serves as flame extinguisher and is manufactured from metal, such as steel or aluminium.
- In the case where the base, the body and/or the cover are manufactured from plastic, the container can have the special feature that the base, the body and/or the cover are manufactured by injection moulding or rotation moulding.
- The invention will now be elucidated with reference to the annexed drawings and an exemplary embodiment, to which the invention is not limited.
- In the drawings:
-
Fig. 1 shows a front view of arefuse container 1; -
Fig. 2 shows a vertical cross-section along the line II-II inFig. 1 . -
Fig. 3 shows the detail III ofFig. 2 on enlarged scale; -
Fig. 4 shows the detail IV ofFig. 2 on enlarged scale; and -
Fig. 5 shows the detail V ofFig. 2 on enlarged scale. -
Container 1 comprises abase 2, a body with a standing bodyperipheral wall 3, the lower edge of which is connected tobase 2. The container further comprises acover 5 which fits with itsperipheral edge 6 ontoupper edge 7 of the bodyperipheral wall 3 and can be coupled releasably thereto by means of coupling means 8 to be described hereinbelow (see alsoFig. 3 ).Cover 5 is provided with threeopenings space 13 inside the body. - Both the body
peripheral wall 3 and coverperipheral wall 27 take the form of an upward tapering truncated cone. - The connection between
upper edge 7 andperipheral edge 6 is embodied such that in use the mouth edge of aplastic refuse bag 14 is clamped therebetween. - As shown in
Fig. 1 and2 , the conicity of bodyperipheral wall 3 and that ofcover 5 are substantially the same. The peripheral wall ofcover 5 does however lie a little to the inside relative to bodyperipheral wall 3. The reason for this will be further elucidated with reference toFig. 3 . - The form of
openings peripheral wall 27 ofcover 5. They therefore have a more or less isosceles trapezium shape and in addition have rounded corners. -
Base 2 has two mutuallyparallel channels refuse container 1. If desired, the base can also be weighted by a concrete mass poured therein and subsequently cured. - The body
peripheral wall 3 has three perforations, all designated with 17. -
Base 2, body andcover 5 can be manufactured from polyester, for instance by making use of a rotomoulding process. For extra strength and impact-resistance said components can be reinforced with glass fibre. - Placed in this embodiment on the outside of body
peripheral wall 3 are two liftingeyes Fig. 4 to be discussed hereinbelow. - A lifting
eye 21 is fixed in the centre of the closedupper wall 20 ofcover 5. -
Fig. 2 shows that anannular tray 22 serving as flame extinguisher rests on theupper edge 7 of bodyperipheral wall 3. This tray is manufactured from metal, for instance steel or aluminium. Lying on thisannular tray 22 is a flat ring 30 which ensures that all refuse thrown in throughrefuse openings space 13. Ring 30 can consist of any suitable material, such as a plastic or metal. -
Fig. 3 shows thatlower edge 6 ofcover 5 andmouth edge 7 of bodyperipheral wall 3 are both flat and mutually overlap over a substantial surface area.Fig. 3 also shows thatannular tray 22 and the mouth edge ofrefuse bag 14 are both clamped between theseedges -
Fig. 4 shows that the two lifting eyes 18 (and 19) are arranged by means of ascrew bolt 24 in a threadedhole 25 and are thus detachable. The threaded hole is formed in a thickenedpart 28 of bodyperipheral wall 3. -
Fig. 5 shows thatbase 2 and bodyperipheral wall 3 are mutually connected by means of three (in the drawing only one is drawn) quarter-turn clamping locks 26.
