Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for reducing the volume of PET bottles, comprising a frame to which a support and a pressing member are mounted, between each of which a PET bottle is inserted and the pressing member is displaceable against the support.
  • PET bottles occupy a very large volume, so it makes sense to compress these empty PET bottles to a small volume, so that find a multiple of empty PET bottles in such a collection container.
  • Such devices for reducing the volume of empty PET bottles are known in many ways.
  • the publication DE-A 100 55 200 shows such a device, in which two pressing jaws are provided, between which a PET bottle can be inserted in the longitudinal direction, and which pressing jaws are then compressed by a mechanical drive.
  • the publication DE-U 297 00 386 shows a device in which the PET bottles are brought via driven transport in the range of two nip rolls, where the PET bottles are squeezed in a continuous process.
  • Such devices are very suitable for installation in the collection area, where the PET bottles to be dropped into the collecting container are previously brought to a reduced volume.
  • the solution of this object is achieved in that the pressing member along guides mounted in the frame from an extended position against the support out in a Pressend ein and vice versa and has a web which during the displacement of the pressing part substantially perpendicular to the guides of the frame is aligned, and which is provided with an opening, and that the PET bottle is inserted into the device in such a way that the bottom of the PET bottle rests on the support and the closure portion of the PET bottle protrudes through the opening of the web.
  • the PET bottle used in this device can thus be greatly reduced in height when the lid is removed, the PET bottle being held in the web by the opening.
  • the closure can be screwed on again, the PET bottle brought to a reduced volume then remains in this state.
  • the guides each consist of a longitudinal slot-shaped recess, which are each mounted in a flat profile, wherein both sides of the support and along the frame extending a respective flat profile is arranged, which two flat profiles are aligned parallel to each other.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the web is provided with two side walls which are aligned parallel to the flat profiles with the longitudinal slot-shaped recesses and which extend against the support.
  • these two side walls serve in a simple manner as guide aids.
  • an axle piece is inserted into the side walls in the region adjacent to the web, which axle connects the two side walls and projects through the slot-shaped recesses of the two flat profiles. This gives a very simple and optimal guidance of the pressed part.
  • a further wall is attached to the side facing away from the guides edge regions of the two side walls, which connects the two side walls together.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the web forming the pressing part with the side walls and the other wall in the extended position about the axle piece can be pivoted about 90 ° and can be locked in the pivoted position. This optimally releases access to the insertion of a PET bottle into the device.
  • the locking of the pressing member in the pivoted position by means of two tabs, which are mounted on the web and in slot-shaped recesses, which are embedded in the upper end portions of the flat profiles, can be suspended.
  • a handle is attached to the outside of each of the two side walls.
  • a particularly simple structure which is also very cost-effective, is achieved in that the frame is formed from a plate and that the flat profile forming the guide are formed with the longitudinal slot-shaped recesses of a one-piece plate whose edge portions are bent and this bent edge portions Form flat profiles, wherein the sheet is placed on the plate and attached thereto.
  • the clear width of the web is greater than the diameter of the closure attachable to the PET bottle insertable into the device.
  • the device for reducing the volume of PET bottles consists of a frame 1, which in the present embodiment is designed as a back plate 2. Placed on this plate 2 is a support 3, which is perpendicular to the plate 2, and on which the PET bottle 4 to be processed with its bottom 5 can be placed.
  • the guides 6 are formed by two flat profiles 8 and 9, which are fixed to the plate 2, and which are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the support 3. Each of these flat profiles 8 and 9 is provided with a longitudinal slot-shaped recess 10.
  • the guides 6 forming flat sections 8 and 9 are formed with the longitudinal slot-shaped recesses 10 of a one-piece plate 11.
  • the edge regions 12 of this sheet 11 are bent so that they form the flat sections 8 and 9.
  • the sheet 11 is placed on the plate 2 and secured in a known manner to this.
  • the pressing member 7 consists of a web 13 which is aligned perpendicular to the guides 6 of the frame 1.
  • This web 13 is provided with two side walls 14 and 15 which are aligned parallel to the flat sections 8 and 9 with the longitudinal slot-shaped recesses 10, and which extend against the support 3 out.
  • a further wall 16 is attached, which connects the two side walls 14 and 15 with each other.
  • an axle 17 is inserted, which is the two side walls 14 and 15th connects and protrudes through the longitudinal slot-shaped recesses 10 of the two flat sections 8 and 9.
  • the pressing part when it has been brought into the extended or raised position, about the axis formed by the axle piece 17 can be pivoted about 90 °. In this swung-up position, the pressing part 7 can be locked. This locking takes place in that on the web 13 of the pressing part 7 two tabs 19 and 20 are provided, which can be mounted in a slot-shaped recess 21 which are attached to both flat sections 8 and 9 at the upper end.
  • the pressing member 7 is in the raised and swung-up position, as shown in Figure 1 and in Figure 4 (dashed lines).
  • the pressing member 7 is now slightly raised on the handles 18 until the tabs 19 and 20 are extended from the slot-shaped recesses 21 of the flat sections 8 and 9, the pressing member can then pivot 90 degrees down until the bridge 13 in a too the guides 6 vertical position is aligned.
  • the pressing member 7 is then lowered onto the PET bottle 4, in which the closure has been removed previously.
  • the web 13 is in this case provided with an opening 22, so that the closure region of the PET bottle can protrude through this opening 22, as can be seen in particular from FIG. Thereafter, the pressing member 7 can press on the handles 18 against the support 3, the pressing part thus moves along the Guides 6 against the support 3, the PET bottle 4 is compressed, as can be seen in Figure 3.
  • the PET bottle 4 is enclosed by the two side walls 14 and 15 and the further wall 16, a buckling or slipping of the PET bottle from the support 3 is avoided.
  • the closure can be placed back on the PET bottle, this is then hermetically sealed, the pressing member 7 can be brought along the guides 6 again in the raised position, in which it can be pivoted in turn by 90 ° and can be locked in this pivoted position.
  • the compressed PET bottle can then be removed from the device.
  • this inventive device is suspended by means of the plate 2 on a wall, such that the PET bottle to be processed can be placed vertically in this device on the support 3. It would also be conceivable to provide the plate 2 with a foot element, so that the device is independent, so that they would not have to be hung.
  • This device it is possible in a very simple manner to reduce the volume of PET bottles by a multiple, whereby a large space savings can be achieved on the one hand during storage and storage, on the other hand, during transport.
  • This device is very easy to use, the production is very simple, so that they can be delivered inexpensively.
