Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refuse collector with an outer housing and a hinged lid opening for the introduction of waste-releasing lid, wherein the lid of the waste collector comprises at least two parts, namely an outer substantially annular portion and at least partially enclosing the top cover substantially plate-like or lid-like part.
  • EP 0 103 753 A2 also relates to a waste collector with a rectangular outline, in which the cover comprises an outer, substantially annular part and a central, flat flap which can be tilted to deposit waste in an open position. Again, the flap results in a reduced insertion opening.
  • the cover is completely flat on the upper side when the flap is closed. The flap is manually opened by a handle by pulling upwards. It is not intended to provide the same container body with differently designed lid variants.
  • a pedal mechanism comprising a foot pedal is provided at waste collectors, upon actuation of the lid of the waste bin unfolds and releases the insertion opening.
  • a pedal mechanism comprising a foot pedal is provided at waste collectors, upon actuation of the lid of the waste bin unfolds and releases the insertion opening.
  • the lock may comprise a mechanical detent mechanism, a magnetic closure that can be released by the touch-bin, or the like.
  • Waste collectors of this type are known, which are used in particular in the household sector and have different sizes of volume for the waste. Smaller waste collectors of this type are used for example in the bathroom or toilet area and referred to as so-called cosmetic bucket. Of the Waste collectors can stand up on the floor, but it is also possible that this is attached via a bracket on the wall.
  • a waste collector with a lid which opens when actuated an unlocking, which then releases an upper insertion opening, wherein the lid is held in the closed position by means of a magnet arrangement, is described in DE 101 61 519 A1. This is a waste bin standing on the ground.
  • a typical waste collector with a lid which opens when actuated by a foot pedal mechanism is described in DE 42 27 705 A1.
  • the power transmission from the foot pedal to the hinged lid is done partially via a cable.
  • the aforementioned waste collectors and also the aforementioned smaller waste bin for bathroom usually have an outer housing which receives an inner bucket into which the waste is thrown.
  • the inner bucket is usually removable from the outer housing for emptying.
  • the hinged lid is in waste collectors of this type sometimes more or less flat (see DE 42 27 705) or (DE 299 18 759 U1) or the hinged lid has a more or less pronounced curvature (see DE 101 61 519 A1 ).
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a waste collector of the aforementioned type, in which it is possible to produce a number of product variants with a reduced number of parts.
  • the solution to this problem provides an inventive waste collector of the type mentioned above with the characterizing features of the main claim.
  • the solution according to the invention makes it possible for the manufacturer to produce a number of variants of different waste collectors using a comparatively small number of parts, whereby the production costs are considerably reduced.
  • the solution according to the invention allows a large variety richness in terms of the shape of the lid, the design of the opening mechanism for opening the lid and an optional use as a stand waste collector or wall-mounted waste collector. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, different sizes of the waste collector with different capacity volumes can be prepared with partial use of the same output parts.
  • the hinged lid of the waste collector is constructed of at least two parts, namely an annular part and a connectable with this annular part plate-like or lid-like part, which is either flat or more or less curved and covering approximately the preferably circular inner surface of the annular part.
  • the plate-like or lid-like part can be connected for example via a latching connection with the annular part.
  • the hinge required for unfolding the lid can be attached, for example, to the annular part.
  • a one-piece lid can be used as a variant, which comprises a combination of the annular and the plate-like or lid-like part.
  • the annular part made of plastic and connectable with this plate-like part which is flat or more or less strongly curved, for example, be made of metal.
  • the annular part made of plastic for example, can be injected.
  • waste bin or cosmetic bucket with different receiving volumes each have the same diameter, so that only the height of the waste bin or cosmetic bucket varies.
  • the waste collectors used so far it was customary not only to vary the height but also the diameter for different receiving volumes, so that in each case a separate lid had to be made for each waste collector size.
  • the present invention further provides also waste bin with different opening mechanisms, ie in particular pedal mechanism with foot pedal, opening via touch-bin, that is key with unlocking or optionally opening by a sensor technology in the manufacture using as many identical items produce, especially the same Outer housing, same inner bucket and same lid variants and sizes.
  • a waste collector can be equipped simultaneously with different opening mechanisms.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of two different levels waste collectors with different capacity volumes. Both waste seeders have a circular cross section with one each. outer housing, which is equipped in the lower part with a foot pedal 15. The upper insertion opening of each of the two waste collectors is closed in each case via a hinged lid 16a or 16b, which can be folded upwards into an open position by means of the footpedals 15 via a mechanism not shown in FIG. 1 inside the outer housing, wherein the hinged lid 16a and 16b pivots about a horizontal axis. As you can see, however, the two garbage collectors have different heights. Of the Left refuse collector, whose outer housing is denoted by 14a, is lower, while the right refuse collector in Fig.
  • the right waste collector has a larger capacity, while the diameter of the respective outer housing 14a, 14b of waste collectors is the same and thus also the two hinged lid 16a, 16b of the waste bin have the same outer diameter. This results in a significant manufacturing advantage, since you can make the lid 16a, 16b of two different in volume capacity waste collector from the same components.
  • the two covers 16a, 16b shown in Fig. 1 are the same in outer diameter, but differ from each other, but only in one component.
  • Each of the two covers 16a, 16b comprises in principle two parts, namely in each case an outer substantially annular part 10, which is shown dark in the drawing and, for example, is a molded plastic part or the like.
  • Each of the two covers 16a, 16b further comprises in each case a plate-like part 11 which can be applied to the outer substantially annular part 10 of the lid, for example by a latching connection or by an adhesive connection.
  • the plate-like part 11b of the lower waste collector in the drawing is smaller in diameter, so that one can recognize a wider portion of the outer substantially annular portion 10.
  • the plate-like part 11a of the upper smaller waste collector in the drawing is larger in diameter, so that it covers the underlying outer substantially annular part 10 on and nearly to the edge.
  • the respective plate-like part 11a, 11b may be made of metal, for example.
  • Another advantage of the invention is in that the plate-like parts 11a, 11b of the lid can vary not only in diameter but also in shape. For example, they may be substantially flat or more or less curved. This results in possibilities for the production of waste collectors with different cover variants, but one can use that component which forms the outer substantially annular part 10 of the lid for different cover variants. This, of course, results in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 from the fact that the waste collectors with different sockets each have the same diameter and thus the same lid size in each case can be used in both cases.
  • the component forming the outer substantially annular part 10 of the waste collector which can be used in both variants according to FIG. 1 in identically designed form, can be configured in this variant of the invention such that it also extends below the plate-like part 11a.
  • This can of course not be seen in the drawing Fig. 1, since the central part of the annular part 10 forming member is covered by the plate-like part 11 a and 11 b.
  • the plate-like part 11 a and 11 b in order to enable the attachment of smaller plate-like parts 11b (see Fig. 1 below) or alternatively larger plate-like components 11a (see Fig.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 respectively show refuse collectors with different lid variants in their upper area in a view substantially from the side.
  • the lid in turn comprises an outer substantially annular portion 10, which consists for example of plastic, on which a substantially flat plate-like part 11, which consists for example of metal, for example, is latched:
  • a substantially flat plate-like part 11 which consists for example of metal, for example, is latched:
  • locking lugs, clips or the like can be used for the attachment of the plate-like flat portion 11 on the outer annular portion 10.
  • Fig. 3 shows a similar variant in which the cover in turn consists of an outer substantially annular part 10, which forms the outer edge region of the lid, so to speak, this ring being open so that an open circular area results within the lid edge, which is then covered by the plate-like in the outline also circular part 11a.
  • This plate-like part 11a rests virtually on the outer annular part 10 in such a way that the outer edge of the plate-like part 11a approximately in the plane of the upper edge of the relative to the plate-like part 11a in the vertical extension substantially higher lid-like part 10 closes.
  • the cover in turn consists of an outer substantially annular part 10, which forms the outer edge region of the lid, so to speak, this ring being open so that an open circular area results within the lid edge, which is then covered by the plate-like in the outline also circular part 11a.
  • This plate-like part 11a rests virtually on the outer annular part 10 in such a way that the outer edge of the plate-like part 11a approximately in the plane of the upper edge of the
  • Fig. 4 shows the upper portion of a waste collector with a further alternative cover variant.
  • an existing only one component cover 13 is used, which consists for example of only one material, for example made of plastic.
  • This lid 13 is adapted to encompass both the outer annular portion illustrated in the above-described lid variants, hereby designated 13b, and the substantially flat portion extending from the inner edge of the outer annular portion 13b towards the center of the lid Middle part 13a, which essentially corresponds in its function to the flat or curved plate-like part 11 of the previously described two-component lid variants.
  • outer annular part 13b and plate-like middle part 13a are in particular made in one piece and preferably consist of a single material, for example plastic.
  • the plate-like central part 13a jumps back slightly downwards relative to the inner edge of the outer annular part 13b, so that a step results.
  • This type of training can be done for example for design reasons, but it can also be provided that in addition to the plate-like central portion 13a, which jumps back through the paragraph something a lid-like part 11 or 11a of Fig. 2 and in Fig. 3 explained Type hangs up.
  • annular part 10 is present with a centrally open ring which has an open circular surface 10a within the lid rim, as can be seen clearly in Fig. 5c.
  • the ring 10 may for example consist of plastic.
  • a lid hinge 17 is formed on one side.
  • the annular part 10 has at its inner edge region on an edge legs 10b, which extends axially parallel to the central axis through the opening 10a. At this edge leg 10b are located distributed over the circumference arranged recesses 18, which can be seen both in Fig. 5c and in Fig. 5a.
  • latching tongues 20 are located on the ring 10 molded, resilient in the radial direction latching tongues 20. These latching tongues 20 allow the engagement of a not shown in Figs. 5a to 5c flat, plate-like part 11, in particular of metal, as it is for example in Figs and FIG. 3 is shown. After snapping such a plate-like part 11 then results in a two-part lid from the annular part 10 and the plate-like part 11 and 11 a. In this production technology, on the one hand, it is possible to combine different materials, and one can combine an annular part 10 shown in FIGS. 5a to 5c with differently shaped plate-like parts 11, so that production of lids with a greater variety is possible.
  • FIGS. 7a to 7c show an alternative embodiment of a cover 13, similar to the embodiment variant according to FIG. 4, which consists of only one material, for example of plastic.
  • the lid 13 is in one piece and includes both the outer annular edge portion 13b and the substantially flat central portion 13a, but for example may also be slightly arched.
  • a lid hinge 17 is also formed.
  • a kind of touch key 19 can be located on the lid (so-called touch bin) so that the lid can be opened when it is pressed in. This is intended for waste collectors with an opening variant without foot pedal.
  • a locking mechanism can be disengaged, so that the lid then opens around the axis of the lid hinge 17.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 embodiments of the invention which are similar to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 will be explained.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 only the plate-like parts 11a, which consist for example of sheet metal, are shown, of which FIG. 8 shows a flatter variant and FIG. 9 shows a curved variant.
  • These plate-like parts 11a are each combined with an annular part 10, which consists for example of plastic and is not shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • Such an annular part 10 made of plastic, which is suitable for this combination, is shown for example in Fig. 1 above and also in the view of FIG. 3 recognizable.
  • Fig. 1 Such an annular part 10 made of plastic, which is suitable for this combination, is shown for example in Fig. 1 above and also in the view of FIG. 3 recognizable.
  • FIG. 8 thus shows a plate-like part 11a, which is intended to form the center piece of a lid for a waste collector, similar to that described in the variant according to Fig. 3.
  • the plate-like part 11a as Fig. 8 shows in its outer edge region bent so that a locking edge 11c results, so that you can snap this plate-like part 1 1 a with the locking edge 11c under an outer annular part 10 made of plastic to produce such a lid similar to the type shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3.
  • the plate-like part 11a according to FIG. 8 is approximately flat in its center piece 11d and has only a very slight curvature.
  • An oblique edge region 11e adjoins the middle piece 11d towards the outside, which then in turn adjoins in its outer Flatter area expires and merges into the locking edge 11c. So the shape is similar to a plate.
  • the component shown in section in FIG. 9, which likewise corresponds to a plate-like part 11a and thus to the center piece of a lid, is, however, equipped with a considerably stronger curvature, so that it is shaped rather cup-shaped.
  • the somewhat shallower centerpiece 11d merges in a continuous radius into the likewise arched edge region 11e, which in turn then terminates in an outer latching edge 11c, which is designed similarly to the variant of FIG.
  • the two plate-like parts 11a according to FIGS. 8 and 9 are thus interchangeable and lead by combination with the preferably made of plastic outer annular part 10 to different cover variants.
