Description

La présente invention a pour objet un bac, notamment de collecte de déchets, du type comportant une cuve et un couvercle pivotant.The present invention relates to a tray, including waste collection, of the type comprising a tank and a pivoting lid.

On connaît par le brevet US 5217 136 un bac comportant une cuve et un couvercle articulé sur la cuve. Le couvercle comporte un axe d'articulation fendu pouvant être monté dans un orifice de la cuve en écartant des portions de l'axe d'articulation de part et d'autre, de la fente. Après le montage, l'axe d'articulation du couvercle sert également de poignée de préhension du bac. On connait également de US-A 6 749 206 un bac conforme au préambule de la revendication 1.We know by the patent US 5217136 a tank having a tank and a hinged lid on the tank. The lid has a split hinge pin that can be mounted in an orifice of the tank by spacing portions of the hinge axis on either side of the slot. After assembly, the hinge pin of the lid also serves as a gripping handle of the tray. We also know US-A 6,749,206 a container according to the preamble of claim 1.

La présente invention vise à proposer un nouveau type de fixation d'un 10 couvercle sur une cuve.The present invention aims to provide a new type of fixing a lid on a tank.

L'invention a ainsi pour objet un bac, notamment de collecte de déchets, conforme à la revendication 1.The invention thus relates to a tank, in particular waste collection, according to claim 1.

De préférence, la saillie est maintenue dans la cavité sensiblement sans jeu, ce qui permet de réduire le bruit généré au niveau de la liaison pivotante, lors du déplacement du bac sur le sol, en particulier lors du roulage lorsque le bac est de type roulant.Preferably, the projection is maintained in the cavity substantially without play, which reduces the noise generated at the pivoting connection, during movement of the tray on the ground, particularly when driving when the tray is rolling type .

Le deuxième moyen de fixation étant réalisé d'un seul tenant avec le couvercle, le montage du couvercle sur la cuve peut être réalisé sans l'intermédiaire d'une pièce rapportée telle qu'une tige ou vis, ce qui permet de simplifier ce montage.The second fixing means being made in one piece with the lid, the mounting of the lid on the tank can be realized without through an insert such as a rod or screw, which simplifies this assembly.

Par ailleurs, le premier moyen de fixation pouvant être localisé à une extrémité longitudinale de la poignée de préhension, cette dernière peut rester dégagée sur sa majeure partie, entre les extrémités longitudinales, et servir pour la préhension du bac.Furthermore, the first fastening means can be located at a longitudinal end of the gripping handle, the latter can remain unobstructed for the most part, between the longitudinal ends, and used for gripping the tray.

Il est notamment possible pour un utilisateur de saisir la poignée de préhension de la cuve tout en faisant pivoter le couvercle car le pivotement du couvercle peut ne pas entraîner celui de la poignée de préhension de la cuve.In particular, it is possible for a user to grasp the handle of the tank while rotating the lid because the pivoting of the lid may not cause that of the gripping handle of the tank.

De préférence, le couvercle comporte au moins une patte sur laquelle est réalisé le deuxième moyen de fixation, cette patte étant apte à se déformer, par exemple par flexion, de préférence de manière élastique, lors du montage du couvercle sur la cuve.Preferably, the cover comprises at least one tab on which is formed the second fixing means, this tab being able to deform, for example by bending, preferably elastically, during assembly of the cover on the tank.

20 Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, le couvercle comporte au moins deux saillies en regard l'une de l'autre agencées pour s'engager chacune dans une cavité réalisée sur la poignée de préhension de la cuve. Lors du montage, les saillies sont écartées l'une de l'autre avant de se rapprocher lorsqu'elles sont introduites dans la ou les cavités.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the lid comprises at least two projections facing each other arranged to engage each in a cavity formed on the handle of the tank. During assembly, the projections are spaced apart from each other before approaching when they are introduced into the cavity or cavities.

Les éléments en saillie, formant notamment des nervures, s'étendent notamment de manière parallèle les uns par rapport aux autres.The projecting elements, forming in particular ribs, extend in particular parallel to each other.

Ainsi, la saillie peut être mise en place dans la cavité quelle que soit l'orientation angulaire relative de cette saillie par rapport à la cavité.Thus, the projection can be placed in the cavity regardless of the relative angular orientation of this projection relative to the cavity.

De préférence, la s'étend d'une extrémité longitudinale à l'autre de la poignée de préhension.Preferably, it extends from one longitudinal end to the other of the handle.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, la poignée de préhension est réalisée d'un seul tenant avec le reste de la cuve.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, the handle is made in one piece with the rest of the tank.

La poignée de préhension de la cuve peut être unique. En variante, la cuve peut comporter par exemple deux poignées de préhension séparées, avec chacune des premiers moyens de fixation précités.The handle of the tank can be unique. Alternatively, the vessel may comprise for example two separate gripping handles, with each of the first aforementioned fastening means.

L'un au moins de la cuve et du couvercle peut être réalisé en matière plastique.At least one of the tank and the lid can be made of plastic.

L'invention pourra être mieux comprise à la lecture de la description détaillée qui va suivre, d'exemples de mise en oeuvre non limitatifs de l'invention, et à l'examen du dessin annexé, sur lequel :

  • la figure 1 représente, schématiquement et partiellement, une cuve et un couvercle d'un bac, notamment de collecte de déchets conforme à l'invention,
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont deux vues schématiques et partielles des moyens de fixation du couvercle sur la cuve de la figure 1, avant l'assemblage,
  • la figure 4 représente, schématiquement et partiellement, en coupe, les moyens de fixation de la cuve et du couvercle de la figure 1, en fin d'assemblage,
  • la figure 5 représente, schématiquement et partiellement, une cuve et un couvercle d'un bac conforme à un autre exemple de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, et
  • les figures 6 et 7 sont deux vues, schématiques et partielles, illustrant la fixation d'un couvercle sur une cuve conformément à un exemple de réalisation non couvert par la revendication 1.
The invention can be better understood on reading the following detailed description, non-limiting examples of implementation of the invention, and on examining the appended drawing, in which:
  • the figure 1 represents, schematically and partially, a tank and a lid of a tank, in particular for collecting waste according to the invention,
  • the Figures 2 and 3 are two schematic and partial views of the means for fixing the lid on the tank of the figure 1 , before assembly,
  • the figure 4 represents, schematically and partially, in section, the means for fixing the tank and the lid of the figure 1 , at the end of assembly,
  • the figure 5 represents, schematically and partially, a tank and a lid of a tank according to another embodiment of the invention, and
  • the Figures 6 and 7 are two schematic and partial views illustrating the fixing of a lid on a tank according to an embodiment not covered by claim 1.

On a représenté sur la figure 1 un bac 1, notamment de collecte de déchets, conforme à l'invention, comportant une cuve 2 et un couvercle 3.We have shown on the figure 1 a bin 1, in particular for collecting waste, according to the invention, comprising a tank 2 and a lid 3.

Le bac 1 peut être un bac roulant, avec par exemple une contenance comprise entre 60 L et 360 L, par exemple d'environ 120 L ou 240 L.The bin 1 can be a rolling bin, with for example a capacity of between 60 L and 360 L, for example about 120 L or 240 L.

La cuve 2 et le couvercle 3 peuvent être réalisés d'un seul tenant par moulage d'une matière thermoplastique.The tank 2 and the lid 3 can be made in one piece by molding a thermoplastic material.

La cuve 2 comporte une poignée de préhension 4 d'axe X, présentant une surface extérieure 5 cylindrique de révolution.The tank 2 comprises a gripping handle 4 of X axis, having a cylindrical outer surface 5 of revolution.

La poignée 4 est traversée par une cavité 6 cylindrique de révolution et débouchant sur l'extérieur à deux extrémités longitudinales 8 de la poignée 4.The handle 4 is traversed by a cylindrical cavity 6 of revolution and opening on the outside at two longitudinal ends 8 of the handle 4.

En variante, la poignée 4 peut comporter non pas une cavité unique, mais deux cavités séparées, débouchant chacune à une extrémité 8 de la poignée.Alternatively, the handle 4 may comprise not a single cavity, but two separate cavities, each opening at one end 8 of the handle.

La cavité 6 définit des premiers moyens de fixation au sens de l'invention, comme on le verra par la suite.The cavity 6 defines first attachment means within the meaning of the invention, as will be seen later.

La cavité 6 comporte une pluralité de nervures longitudinales 9 sensiblement parallèles à l'axe X, comme on peut le voir sur les figures 3 et 4.The cavity 6 comprises a plurality of longitudinal ribs 9 substantially parallel to the axis X, as can be seen in the figures 3 and 4 .

Dans l'exemple considéré, ces nervures 9 sont au nombre de trois et sont équi-angulairement réparties autour de l'axe X.In the example considered, these ribs 9 are three in number and are equi-angularly distributed around the X axis.

Les nervures longitudinales 9 peuvent s'étendre sensiblement d'une extrémité 8 à l'autre ou, en variante, seulement sur une portion de la longueur de la poignée 4.The longitudinal ribs 9 may extend substantially from one end 8 to the other or, alternatively, only over a portion of the length of the handle 4.

La poignée 4 est reliée au reste de la cuve 2 par l'intermédiaire de deux paliers 10 situés chacun à une extrémité longitudinale 8.The handle 4 is connected to the remainder of the tank 2 via two bearings 10 each located at a longitudinal end 8.

La poignée 4 comporte à chaque extrémité 8 un renfoncement 12 dans lequel débouche la cavité 6, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 3 notamment.The handle 4 has at each end 8 a recess 12 in which opens the cavity 6, as can be seen on the figure 3 especially.

Dans l'exemple considéré, une encoche 13 est prévue, adjacente à chaque renfoncement 12.In the example considered, a notch 13 is provided, adjacent to each recess 12.

Le couvercle 3 comporte deux pattes 15 réalisées à l'arrière du couvercle 3 et définissant entre elles un espace 16.The lid 3 comprises two tabs 15 formed at the rear of the lid 3 and defining between them a space 16.

Ces pattes 15, de section transversale en U par exemple, sont agencées de manière à pouvoir fléchir légèrement vers l'extérieur, de manière élastique.These tabs 15, of U cross section for example, are arranged to be able to flex slightly outwardly, elastically.

Chaque patte 15 est pourvue sur un côté intérieur d'une saillie 17 ayant une forme sensiblement hémisphérique, comme illustré notamment sur la figure 2.Each lug 15 is provided on an inner side with a projection 17 having a substantially hemispherical shape, as illustrated in particular on FIG. figure 2 .

Ces saillies 17 forment des deuxièmes moyens de fixation au sens de l'invention.These projections 17 form second attachment means within the meaning of the invention.

Chaque saillie 17 comporte une pluralité de nervures 19 s'étendant sensiblement entre le sommet de la saillie 17 et la base de celle-ci.Each projection 17 has a plurality of ribs 19 extending substantially between the top of the projection 17 and the base thereof.

Dans l'exemple considéré, les nervures 19 sont au nombre de trois et sont disposées équi-angulairement autour de la saillie 17.In the example considered, the ribs 19 are three in number and are arranged equiangularly around the projection 17.

L'assemblage du couvercle 3 sur la cuve 2 s'effectue de la manière suivante.The assembly of the lid 3 on the tank 2 is carried out as follows.

Tout d'abord, les pattes 15 sont légèrement écartées l'une de l'autre pour pouvoir engager les saillies 17 dans la cavité 6 de la poignée 4.First, the tabs 15 are slightly spaced apart from one another so as to be able to engage the projections 17 in the cavity 6 of the handle 4.

L'introduction des saillies 17 dans la cavité 6 peut être facilitée lorsque chaque saillie 17 glisse dans l'encoche 13.The introduction of the projections 17 in the cavity 6 can be facilitated when each projection 17 slides in the notch 13.

On note toutefois que l'introduction des saillies 17 dans la cavité 6 peut être effectuée quelle que soit l'orientation angulaire relative du couvercle 3 par rapport à la poignée 4.Note, however, that the introduction of the projections 17 in the cavity 6 can be performed regardless of the relative angular orientation of the lid 3 relative to the handle 4.

Les encoches 13 peuvent en outre servir de repères pour disposer les nervures 9 et 19 respectivement de la poignée 4 et du couvercle 3 dans une position angulaire relative prédéterminée.The notches 13 may further serve as pins for arranging the ribs 9 and 19 respectively of the handle 4 and the cover 3 in a predetermined relative angular position.

En fin d'assemblage, les pattes 15 du couvercle 3 retrouvent sensiblement leur configuration initiale et les saillies 17 sont engagées dans la cavité 6 sensiblement sans jeu, comme illustré sur la figure 4.At the end of assembly, the tabs 15 of the lid 3 substantially return to their initial configuration and the projections 17 are engaged in the cavity 6 substantially without play, as shown in FIG. figure 4 .

La poignée de préhension 4 de la cuve 2 se trouve alors dans l'espace 16 du couvercle 3 tout en restant dégagée sur sensiblement toute sa longueur.The handle 4 of the tank 2 is then in the space 16 of the lid 3 while remaining clear over substantially its entire length.

Ainsi, comme on peut le constater, un utilisateur peut saisir la poignée de préhension 4 tout en faisant pivoter le couvercle 3, sans être gêné.Thus, as can be seen, a user can grasp the handle 4 while rotating the lid 3, without being embarrassed.

Les nervures 9 et 19 respectivement de la poignée 4 et du couvercle 3 sont disposées de manière à ce qu'en fin de course de pivotement du couvercle, lors de la fermeture de celui-ci, les nervures 19 du couvercle 3 viennent en appui sur celles 9 de la poignée 4, ce qui permet d'amortir le mouvement de fermeture du couvercle 3.The ribs 9 and 19 respectively of the handle 4 and the lid 3 are arranged so that at the end of the pivoting stroke of the lid, when closing thereof, the ribs 19 of the lid 3 come to bear on those 9 of the handle 4, which damps the closing movement of the lid 3.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à l'exemple de mise en oeuvre qui vient d'être décrit.Of course, the invention is not limited to the implementation example which has just been described.

Par exemple, comme illustré sur la figure 5, la cuve 2 peut comporter deux poignées de préhension 5' séparées, de longueur réduite par rapport à la poignée 5 précédemment décrite.For example, as shown on the figure 5 , the tank 2 may comprise two separate gripping handles 5 ', of reduced length relative to the handle 5 described above.

Le couvercle 3 peut alors comporter deux pattes latérales 15' et une patte centrale 20, les pattes latérales 15' étant destinées à être disposées aux extrémités extérieures des poignées 5' et la patte centrale 20 entre les deux poignées 5'.The cover 3 may then comprise two lateral tabs 15 'and a central tab 20, the lateral tabs 15' being intended to be arranged at the outer ends of the handles 5 'and the central tab 20 between the two handles 5'.

Dans cet exemple de réalisation, le couvercle 3 comporte quatre saillies 17 au lieu de deux, comme dans l'exemple précédent.In this embodiment, the cover 3 has four projections 17 instead of two, as in the previous example.

Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre non illustré, il est possible de prévoir au voisinage des extrémités 8 de la poignée de préhension 4 des fentes longitudinales s'étendant suivant l'axe X et agencées pour pouvoir introduire dans la cavité 6 des saillies réalisées sur le couvercle, ces fentes pouvant par exemple s'élargir de manière élastique pour recevoir les saillies du couvercle. Dans cet exemple, le couvercle peut être dépourvu de patte qui se déforme lors de l'assemblage du couvercle sur la cuve.In an exemplary embodiment not illustrated, it is possible to provide near the ends 8 of the handle 4 longitudinal slots extending along the axis X and arranged to be introduced into the cavity 6 projections formed on the cover, these slots may for example expand elastically to receive the projections of the lid. In this example, the cover may be devoid of tab that deforms during assembly of the lid on the tank.

On a illustré sur les figures 6 et 7 un exemple de fixation d'un couvercle 30 sur une cuve 31 non couvert par l'invention.We have illustrated on Figures 6 and 7 an example of fixing a lid 30 on a tank 31 not covered by the invention.

Le couvercle 30 comporte, à la place de la saillie 17 décrite ci-dessus, une saillie 32 formée par une succession d'éléments en saillie ou nervures 33, parallèles, ayant une enveloppe sensiblement en calotte sphérique.The cover 30 has, in place of the projection 17 described above, a projection 32 formed by a succession of projecting elements or ribs 33, parallel, having a substantially spherical cap envelope.

L'une des pattes patte 15 comporte une ouverture 34 agencée pour pouvoir être mise dans le prolongement de la cavité 6 de la poignée 4 de la cuve 31, comme illustré sur la figure 7. Un élément de fixation peut, le cas échéant, être introduit à travers l'ouverture 34 de manière à s'engager dans la cavité 6 de la poignée 4 et assurer le maintien en pivotement du couvercle 30 sur la cuve 31.One of the tabs lug 15 has an opening 34 arranged to be placed in the extension of the cavity 6 of the handle 4 of the tank 31, as shown in FIG. figure 7 . A fastening element may, if necessary, be introduced through the opening 34 so as to engage in the cavity 6 of the handle 4 and ensure the pivoting of the lid 30 on the tank 31.

La poignée 4 peut comporter des passages longitudinaux 36.The handle 4 may comprise longitudinal passages 36.
