Description

  • This invention relates to a wheeled waste container according to the preamble of claim 1 and known from DE-U-9306265 .
  • Conventional wheeled waste containers in the size range over 500 litre are generally rectangular in section and have a wheel at each corner. A single lid is generally hinged along one long edge, and a lifting bar is attached to the opposite long edge. Such containers may be of plastic or steel, and typically have a capacity in the range 1100-1250 litre.
  • This type of container is often adapted for recyclable waste by utilizing a special lid having an opening adapted to the material to be recycled. Thus a glass recycling container will have one or more circular apertures in the lid, generally about 150 mm in diameter, for bottles and jars. The lid itself is adapted to open when the container is upended over a waste collection truck.
  • Conventional rectangular waste containers do not adapt themselves to all locations and are generally unsuitable as items of street furniture. Furthermore, being relatively large, they are somewhat difficult to manoeuvre. Another problem is that several containers are required for different types of recyclable waste, and can be very space consuming. Yet another, problem is that a conventional container may become excessively heavy if filled with one kind of waste, such as glass. Such a conventional container is illustrated in GB-A-2298779 .
  • What is required is an alternative waste container, suitable for use with existing refuse trucks, which overcomes the aforementioned difficulties, and also provides new possibilities for container location. The waste container should be suitable for recyclable and conventional waste.
  • According to the invention, there is provided a waste container for refuse having a capacity in the range 200-1000 litres and comprising a main body having a front wall, a lifting arrangement on the front wall, and two side walls, wherein the side walls are closer together at the back than at the front, and said waste container being symmetrical in plan, characterized in that said waste container has two wheels at the front wall, one wheel at the back, and is substantially triangular in plan.
  • Such a waste container can appear entirely conventional from the front, and is thus adapted for any conventional refuse truck. Typically the waste container will have a horizontal lifting bar near the mouth, but other front lifting arrangements are suitable, such as the diamond lift socket. The width of the waste container at the front is to some extent determined by conventional lifting arrangements of refuse trucks, as is the overall height.
  • The side walls converge towards the back, and thus the waste container is adapted for location in corners, especially internal corners defined by two walls of a building. Such corners often define 'dead' space which is unusable for any purpose.
  • Converging side walls also permit other novel location arrangements. For example if the side walls converge at about 90°, a group of three waste containers may be arranged around an external corner, such as the corner of a building. Alternatively a group of four such waste containers can be anchored around a central fixing, which may be an existing item of street furniture such as a lamp standard. In this arrangement the lamp standard is also protected against impact damage from vehicles, and provides light over the waste containers.
  • A particular advantage of side by side groupings is that the public is presented with a substantially continuous front edge, and in the case of a circular array, the side and rear edges are not accessible; thus only the front side needs to be kept clean.
  • Side by side groupings also permit continuous advertising over the front faces. This is an important consideration in reducing waste collection costs, and/or providing public information.
  • The waste container according to the invention has three wheels, and is thus highly manoeuvrable, yet stable. Two wheels are preferably located at the respective front corners, whereas the third is positioned on the mid axis close the rear most edge.
  • The front and side walls may merge at a large radius.
  • The waste container according to the invention may be provided with a side latch to permit fixing to an adjacent waste container. This arrangement ensures that groups of waste containers are retained in a stable assembly. A waste container may for example have a female fixing at one side, and a male fixing at the other side. Advantageously, the side walls slope outwardly and upwardly, and this arrangement provides a small gap at the lower edge within which a latch may be located.
  • In a preferred embodiment the container includes a lid having a fixed portion at the rear, and a pivotable leaf at the front wherein the pivot axis is parallel to the front side and at a distance from the rear. Such an arrangement allows a sufficient opening for emptying, and sufficient spacing of two pivots to prevent twisting of the opening leaf.
  • In the most preferred embodiment, the lid is domed, the fixed rear portion thus presenting a smooth downward surface when upended, and ensuring unobstructed exit of waste during emptying. The hinge axis is preferably more than halfway back from the front wall, and may be at about two thirds back from the front wall. The hinge axis is preferably not more than three quarters back from the front wheel. Preferably the front portion is part-domed, and in one embodiment has an opening therein for insertion of waste or other material. In a preferred embodiment said rear portion includes a latch element thereon for co-operation with a latching point, such as a latching post.
  • A symmetrical waste container is preferred, having a 90° included angle for the side walls. Furthermore waste containers according to the invention may be linked as groups with conventional containers having a common frontal appearance. Thus large and small volume containers can be linked together in an aesthetically pleasing group.
  • Other features of the invention will be apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment shown by way of example only in the accompanying drawings, in which:
    • Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a schematic waste container according to the invention.
    • Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the waste container of Fig. 1.
    • Fig. 3 is a plan view of the waste container of Fig. 1.
    • Figs. 4-6 show in plan various dispositions of waste containers according to the invention.
  • With reference to Figs. 1-3, a waste container 10 is generally triangular in plan, and comprises a main body 11, a lid 12, and three castors or wheels 13 at the corners. The main body 11 may be formed of steel or plastic, and in the latter case preferably as a rotational moulding. The lid 12 defines a circular opening 14 for glass bottles and the like, and is closed by a releasable latch. The latch may for example be a gravity latch which allows the lid to open only when the container is upended via a lifting arrangement, such as a comb bar 15, and thus prevents disposal of objects larger than the circular opening 14.
  • The lid 12 may be attached to the main body 11 in any suitable manner, but in one preferred embodiment comprises two portions hinged about an axis 17 (Fig. 3) parallel to the front wall. The rear portion 18 is fixed immovably to the main body 11, whereas the front portion 19 is permitted to swing open by a suitable hinge or pivot arrangement. In another arrangement the lid 12 comprises leaves hinged at the side to open in the manner of petals.
  • The front wall comprises side pillars 21, and a slightly recessed rectangular panel 22 adapted for advertisements, instructions and the like. The base 23 is dropped between the wheels 13 to maximize internal volume.
  • The fixed rear portion 18 of the lid 12 presents a downward sloping face 25 when upended, thus facilitating emptying of waste from the waste container 10.
  • Some typical arrangements of waste containers 10 are illustrated in Figs. 4-6.
  • In Fig. 4, line 31 represents the perimeter of a building in which a single waste container 10 is placed at an internal angle in an otherwise unusable space. A group of three waste containers 10 is placed around an external angle.
  • In each case access is available to all sides and the advertising potential at the front of each waste container 10 is fully exploited.
  • Fig. 5 shows a group of four waste containers 10 grouped around a post 35, such as a lamp standard or telegraph pole. Fig. 6 shows a line of waste containers 10 facing alternately in opposite directions. In both cases, access is maintained over the full frontage of the waste containers 10, whilst maximizing advertising potential.
  • The dimensions of the waste containers 10 illustrated in Figs. 4-6 are representative.
  • It will be appreciated that the waste containers 10 according to the invention can be used as items of street furniture to define certain spaces or boundaries, in addition to providing containers for waste. Furthermore these waste containers 10 may be grouped around another feature, such as a lamp standard, and provide a degree of protection thereto. Moreover, the post 35 may also provide a discrete means of securing the waste containers 10 in place.
  • Each waste container 10 may be provided with a side latch, (not illustrated) to permit latching to an adjacent waste container 10. In this way a number of waste containers 10 can be fixed in an informal group, but released for individual emptying.
  • A single group, such as a group of four waste containers 10, may for example comprise recycling containers for glass, cans, papers and plastics, and each waste container 10 may have a different colour.
  • The main body 11 and rear portion 18 may be moulded as a single rotational moulding. The taper on the inside of rear portion 18 ensures unobstructed emptying when the waste container 10 is upended, and the hinge axis 17 provides for spaced pivots for the opening front portion 19. Within the main body 11 a perimeter frame (not shown) reinforces the mouth and is bolted or riveted through the container walls. At the front the frame is attached to the usual comb bar 15, again by bolts or rivets. The wheels 13 are bolted through the base 23 to suitable internal reinforcing plates.
