Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a refuse container according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the present invention may, for example, relate to a large waste container formed, in particular, on wheels.
  • the invention may relate to a so-called 4-wheel refuse container.
  • Such refuse containers have an opening provided in the upper region of the container, which can be closed by a curved lid, for example a so-called round lid.
  • a curved lid for example a so-called round lid.
  • at least one spring element is provided in the region of at least one articulation point, which loads the lid in the pivoting direction.
  • the known system of this round cover has the disadvantage that the open lid always tends to move due to the prevailing spring forces, which counteract the weight of the lid, in the closed position.
  • This closing movement poses a safety risk, especially for children, because it can not be ruled out that a child can open the lid and hang himself with his upper body through the insertion opening into the container.
  • the head or neck of the child passes in this case between the upper edge of the container and the spring-loaded lid edge. The head or the neck of the child is thereby clamped, whereby there is a risk that injuries may occur.
  • a refuse container of the type mentioned with a spring-loaded sliding cover known.
  • a torsion spring between a slide arm and a side wall on which these two connecting axis is arranged. With a first spring end, the torsion spring is against a wall-side stop constantly and with a second spring end against a cover-side stop. During the opening movement of the sliding cover, the torsion spring is tensioned and released when closing.
  • the cover-side spring end strikes a abutment arranged on the body wall, so that the cover does not move in a spring-loaded manner in the end region of its closing movement.
  • the present invention has for its object to further improve a waste collection container as described above, so that a jamming of body parts, especially the head or neck of children, when leaning back into the container is reliably prevented.
  • a waste collecting container is provided, with a filling opening located in the upper container area, and with a curved lid for closing the filling opening, wherein the lid is hinged on two opposite sides pivotable on the container side walls via lid arms, wherein in the region of at least one articulation point a lid in Swivel direction loading spring element is arranged and wherein the lid has a defined partial open position in which the spring element exerts no bias on the lid, wherein braking means are provided for braking the closing movement of the lid, and the braking means for generating a braking force, in the closing direction of the lid Reaching the partially open position acts against the force of the spring element, are formed.
  • the refuse container according to the invention is characterized in that further the braking means are formed by at least a portion of at least one cover arm and that the braking means forming portion of a cover arm in the form of an inclined plane, based on the surface normal of the portion of the cover arm is formed, wherein the spring element abuts with a spring end on the inclined plane.
  • the at least one spring element at least in the partially open position of the lid, which may be a so-called child safety position, preferably no longer acts even in the closing direction of the lid from the partially open position. Unintentional closing of the lid is therefore no longer possible.
  • the advantage of this arrangement is that the lid of the refuse collection container, which may, for example, but not necessarily be a waste container as described above, always has the desire to drive in the partial open position.
  • the cover If the cover is to be opened further from the partially open position, it must be pushed against the increasing spring force of the spring element. If the lid is closed, the spring force supports the closing movement of the lid, so that it closes automatically, but only up to the partially open position.
  • the braking means have the task of slowing down the closing movement of the lid before reaching the partially open position, so that it comes to a standstill in the partially open position in any case.
  • the braking means are designed in a special way.
  • the braking means are designed such that a braking force is generated with them, which acts in the closing direction of the lid before reaching the partially open position against the force of the spring element.
  • the braking force generated by the braking means thus has a force direction which is directed against the direction of force of the at least one spring element.
  • the at least one spring element in the partially open position of the lid can be unloaded.
  • the spring element is in the partially open position in its rest position, so that it can no longer exert bias on the lid. If the cover is brought from the partially open position in its fully closed position, this can lead to the spring element is charged again. When the lid is opened again, the spring element will strive to its rest position in the partially open position of the lid, whereby the opening of the lid is facilitated in the partially open position.
  • the at least one spring element is loaded in the partially open position of the lid and that in this case means are provided for deriving the spring force in the partially open position of the lid, so that the spring element in the partially open position exerts no bias on the lid.
  • the present invention is not limited to a specific number of spring elements. In principle, it is sufficient if a single spring element is provided in the region of an articulation point of the lid on the container. However, constellations are also conceivable in which, for example, more than one spring element is provided in the region of an articulation point or in which at least one spring element is provided in the region of each articulation point.
  • the invention is not limited to certain types of spring elements.
  • the at least one spring element may be formed, for example, as a leg spring or torsion spring. It is preferably provided that the at least one spring element has a - first - spring end which is fixedly mounted against the container and that the at least one spring element has a - second - spring end which is loosely counterposed on the lid, in particular on the lid arm.
  • the spring element has a loosely mounted spring end, wherein this spring end rests against the part of the cover arm forming the brake means and can move over it or slide along it. Due to the fact that the part of the cover arm forming the braking means is formed as an inclined plane, the spring element must work in the closing direction of the lid against this oblique or inclined plane. Since the braking means before reaching the partially open position on the lid act, the closing movement of the lid is braked shortly before the partial open position (for example, the child-safety position) by the inclined (inclined) level on the loose spring bearing end.
  • the braking means may be provided that the braking means are formed by at least a portion of at least one cover arm inside.
  • the lid arm for example the lid arm inner side
  • the lid arm is formed from an abrasion-resistant material at least in the region of the inclined plane.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of certain materials.
  • the lid arm, for example the lid arm inner side may be formed of a metal at least in the region of the inclined plane.
  • a blocking device may be provided for blocking the spring element in the partially open position of the lid.
  • the biasing force acting on the cover can then be absorbed by the blocking means at a defined point.
  • the blocking device attached in the cover arm spring element for example, a leg spring, which is firmly against the container - blocked in the partial open position (for example, the child-safety position) by the blocking device.
  • the biasing force of the spring no longer acts on the lid. If the lid is opened further, it must be pushed against the spring force.
  • the blocking device may be in the form of at least one bolt, a screw, a pin or the like.
  • the refuse container also have a locking device for holding the lid in a completely open and a fully closed position.
  • the locking device comprises at least one locking spring and locking ribs provided on the inner side of the cover.
  • the at least one locking spring can be arranged, for example, in the rear region of the container on a container wall.
  • two locking springs are provided.
  • the locking ribs can be advantageously arranged in the front and rear of the lid on the inside of the lid.
  • the waste container 1 shown in Figure 1 represents in the present embodiment, a large waste container on wheels. This is a commercial container of known design, the detailed description can therefore be omitted here.
  • the waste container 1 has container walls, of which the two narrower are formed as container side walls 13.
  • the waste container 1 has in its upper container portion 11 via a filling opening 12, wherein the filling opening 12 by means of a curved lid 2, which is formed in the present example as a round lid, can be closed.
  • the lid 2 is pivotally mounted on the narrow container side walls 13 via cover arms 21 at articulation points 22.
  • the cover 2 is in the closed state. In this state, it is held by a locking device consisting of at least one locking spring 8, such as a detent spring plate, and locking ribs 10.
  • the locking spring (s) 8 is / are in the example in the rear region 16 of the waste container 1 on a container wall (or two container walls ) attached.
  • the locking ribs 10 are arranged or formed on the cover inner side 14, both in the front region 17 of the lid 2 and in the rear region 18 of the lid 2.
  • a spring element 4 loading the cover 2 in the pivoting direction is arranged in the region of at least one articulation point 22.
  • the spring element 4 is formed in the example as a pivot spring or torsion spring.
  • the spring element 4 has a first spring end 6, which is fixedly mounted against the waste container 1. Furthermore, the spring element 4 has a second spring end 5, which is mounted counter loosely against the cover arm 21.
  • the waste container 1 shown in Figure 1 is shown in such a way that its cover 2 is in a partial open position 9, which may be a so-called child safety position.
  • this position of the lid 2 is ensured by the spring element 4 and a blocking device 7, which may be, for example, a blocking pin.
  • a blocking device 7 which may be, for example, a blocking pin.
  • the locking spring 8 located in the rear region 16 of the refuse collection container 1 keeps the cover 2 open by latching in locking ribs 10 on the inside of the cover 14. To close the latch is simply released by briefly pulling the lid 2 again. The lid 2 closes the waste container 1 but only automatically until the partially open position. 9
  • brake means 30 are additionally provided. These braking means 30 have the task of the closing movement of the To slow down cover 2 before reaching the partially open position 9 so that it comes to a standstill in the partially open position 9 in any case.
  • the braking means 30 are designed in a special way.
  • the brake means 30 are formed by at least a portion of at least one cover arm 21, wherein the braking means 30 forming portion of the lid arm 21 is formed on the lid arm inside and wherein the braking means 30 forming portion of the lid arm inside in the form of an inclined plane, based on the Surface normal of the portion of the lid arm inside, is formed.
  • the surface normal is a perpendicular to the surface of the cover arm 21 or to the partial region of the inner side of the cover arm.
  • the loosely mounted spring end 5 of the spring element 4 abuts against the part of the cover arm 21 forming the braking means 30 or the inner side of the cover arm and can move over it or slide along it.
  • the lid 2 must be pulled against the weight force 3 to be brought from this partial open position 9 in the closed position.
  • the waste container 1 only remains closed when the locking ribs 10 in the interior of the lid over the - for example two - attached to the refuse container 1 (n) detent spring (s) 8 are pulled. Otherwise, the cover 2 springs back into the partially open position 9.
