Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste receptacle for receiving used disposable beverage containers, such as for example plastics cups, or the like according to the preamble of claim 1 and 28 respectively.
  • any dregs of the beverage remaining in the bottom of the cup are discarded with it into the receptacle.
  • This can create problems when the receptacle is emptied, as the combined volume of dregs can be heavy enough to split a conventional plastics sack used to line the receptacle.
  • the resulting spillage can be hazardous, damaging to floor coverings and nearby furniture and expensive to clean up.
  • GB-A-1535922 describes a bin with upright collection tubes for receiving disposable cups in a nested or stacked configuration. This design is able to accommodate up to four times as many disposed cups in comparison to a conventional litter bin. The dregs can be poured into a separate tube so as to collect in a base for disposal. This design still has several drawbacks. First the size of the collection tubes limits the size of cup that can be disposed. Secondly, the liquid dregs are collected in the base of the bin and so the whole unit has to be transported from its strategic position adjacent to the vending machine to a convenient place where the liquid can be emptied and the bin cleaned.
  • the invention thus provides for a receptacle that simplifies the emptying procedure.
  • the person removing a used refuse sack has the option of removing the sack with the sections in the intermediate position wherein the weight of the first section is supported, or alternatively, completely separating the sections and moving the first section on said ground-contacting wheel elements to a convenient location where the sack may be disposed.
  • the first section may be tiltable to said intermediate position about the, or each, ground contacting wheel element or otherwise.
  • the first section may be separable from said second section by simply moving it away on said ground-contacting wheel element(s)
  • the base member may extend into a void in the second section when the sections are in the first position, the void being defined between the stop member and a ground-contacting portion of the second section.
  • the first base member may be in the form of a wall as may be the second base member.
  • the first base member may extend substantially perpendicularly from the first outer wall.
  • the stop member may be a wall that extends from the second outer wall optionally in a substantially perpendicular direction relative to the second outer wall.
  • a first 19 of the internal walls is defined on a first internal moulded insert module 28 that is supported in the internal chamber 14 by the base and front walls 24, 10.
  • the first module 28 comprises a front panel 29 that is immediately adjacent the front wall 10 of the section, side panels 30 and a rear panel 31 that defines the internal wall with its fluted surface profile 21 extending between the side panels 30 and occupying a plane that is generally parallel to the front wall 10.
  • a pair of laterally spaced wheel elements or wheels 32 (only one of which is apparent in figures 3 to 5 as the other is hidden) is mounted to the underside of the front end of the base wall 24 and allows the front section to be wheeled towards and away from the main body 16 in the tilted orientation.
  • the second module 41 has a rear panel 44 adjacent to the rear wall 11 of the main body 16, side panels 45 and a front panel 46 that defines the internal wall 20 with a fluted surface profile 21 identical to that on the front section 15.
  • the fluted surface profiles 21 of the internal walls 19, 20 face each other and define between them a continuous volume that is configured into four parallel stacking tubes 17 each of substantially cylindrical cross-section.
  • the side walls 12 of the receptacle are parallel to the side panels 30 of the first module 28 on the front section 15 but spaced apart by a slightly greater distance such that when the two sections 15, 16 of the receptacle are brought together the walls 12 slide over the panels 30.
  • the hood 13 of the receptacle comprises a convexly arcuate upper wall 50 that extends forwards and downwards from the rear to the front wall 10 and has a depending skirt 51 at its front and side edges.
  • the upper wall 50 is penetrated by four openings or apertures 52 corresponding to the four stacking tubes 17, the apertures being arranged in a transverse row and serving as a guide for a user inserting a cup into a respective tube 17.
  • Each aperture 52 has a cylindrical skirt 53 depending from the underside of the hood and, when the hood is closed, extends into the respective tube 17 to assist in correct location of the hood 13.
  • the hood 13 is pivotally connected to the rear of main body 16 by pivot pins 54 that pass through the side skirts 51 in the hood and the side walls 12 such that it can be pivoted rearwardly and upwardly to expose the internal chamber 14 of the receptacle.
  • a lock 55 is provided at its front edge to allow the hood to be locked to the front wall 10 in the closed position thereby ensuring that the front section is retained in abutment with the main body 16.
  • the front section and the main body 15, 16 have inter-engaging features that hold the receptacle together when it is in the normal operational position shown in figure 3 . These prevent easy and inadvertent release of the two parts but allow deliberate separation for emptying purposes.
  • an elongate foot or projecting member 56 extends in a transverse direction along the underside of the base wall 24 at a location towards its front edge, spaced from the wheels 32.
  • a complementary elongate slot or recess 57 is defined in the upper surface of the plinth 40 and receives the foot 56 when the front section 15 is combined with the main body 16 as shown in figure 3 .
  • This movement serves to release the foot 56 on the underside of the front section from the slot 57 defined in the plinth 40 so that the section can then be wheeled rearwards (with the section still tilted as depicted in figure 5 ), using the handle 27, to a convenient emptying area in the manner of a trolley.
  • the sections 15, 16 can be left in the intermediate position where the bottom wall 43 of the second internal module 41 supports the weight of the front section 15 and prevents it from tilting further thus enabling the filled sack to be removed easily from the chamber 14.
  • the reservoirs 18, as is known, can be separately removed and the collected liquid poured away.
  • the separable nature of the receptacle of the present invention enables a filled refuse sack to be removed relatively easily, either by using the front section as a wheeled trolley or simply by moving it to the intermediate position where it can be supported during removal of the sack.
  • the front section 15 is pivotable to an intermediate position in which the base wall 24 is in contact with some form of stop element or member (not shown in figure 8 ) on the main body 16 and then is movable on wheels to separate it fully from the main body 16.
