Description

The invention relates to a dumpster for setting for one or more juxtaposed waste containers of different dimensions.

In practice, refuse container cabinets are common, which consist of a one-piece concrete body in which the top or front edges of the concrete body are bordered by frame-shaped interconnected metal profiles. Thus, the size is given in terms of the height of the dumpster cabinets.

In order to accomplish a throwing of the refuse, the cover plates of the refuse container cabinet can be provided with swiveling refuse bins. In special versions, the swiveling refuse bins are connected with lids that cover the opening of the set refuse containers tightly when the flap is closed and also open when the flaps are opened. This means that the distance between the flap and the bulkhead edge of the refuse container must be within close tolerances, so that the lid always sits perfectly tight on the bulk material edge. In any case, the distance between the garbage hatch flaps and the cover plates and the opening of the garbage containers must be small, so that when inserting the garbage, the entire mass lands in the garbage containers and not partially in the garbage container cabinet.

In the other refuse container cabinets, the front door (s) of the refuse container cabinet are opened to dump the refuse into the refuse containers, and the refuse container is tilted slightly forward or partially withdrawn. It happens that the tilt is too large and the refuse container tipped forward, which can lead to contamination of Müllcontainerschrankes and adjacent surfaces depending on the degree of filling of the refuse container. If the garbage cans are pulled forward when filling, so it makes When pushing back problems, put them back properly in the right place. If they are inserted too short, the front door can not be closed properly and the adjustment process must be repeated. If the refuse receptacle is moved too deeply into the refuse container cabinet, difficulties may arise in grasping the refuse receptacle the next time it is used.

From practice it is known that for the dimensions of the garbage containers according to DIN EN 840-1 permits considerable tolerances. This affects both the width, the height and the wheel distance to the garbage containers. As a result, every company produces waste containers of different dimensions. Nevertheless, the garbage containers comply with the DIN standards. If a municipality changes the supplier for the garbage containers, it happens again and again that the new garbage containers can no longer be set in the existing garbage container cabinets. Even with new orders, it is not uncommon that the dimensions of the garbage container cabinets must be adapted to the desired dimensions of the garbage containers. The manufacturers of refuse container cabinets are forced to produce new steel molds and inserts for the assembly of the individual perimeter walls or for attaching the front doors of the refuse container cabinets again and again to ensure the setting of the refuse containers with the given dimensions. This requires an increased cost and extends delivery times, as the refuse container cabinets deviate from the standard dimensions.

The invention has for its object to provide a garbage container cabinet, which allows the setting of garbage containers according to DIN EN 840-1 with tolerance deviations without affecting the proper functioning.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a dumpster with the features of claim 1.

According to the waste container cabinets are provided with at least one level loose insert plate. For example, the refuse container cabinets are provided with floor level different thick and wide loose insert plates. The insert plate or the insert plates remain in the garbage container cabinet at normal high waste containers. If garbage containers with larger height dimensions are delivered, the entire insert plate can be removed. If the garbage containers to be set are very small, then it is within the scope of the invention to insert a second floor-level insert plate or an insert plate with a greater thickness in the garbage container cabinet. To use the extension plates in a variety of refuse container cabinets variable can, the extension plates have predetermined breaking points. Thus, it is always possible for the customer to define the size of the insert plate itself.

In another variant of the invention, the insert plate can be divided into two or more parts. The individual parts of the extension plates can then be adapted to the heights and wheel spacings of the garbage containers. This could be the case if differently sized refuse containers with different volumes, for example, for the separate collection of waste in a refuse container cabinet are set side by side.

In a further variant of the invention, the insert plates are provided with recesses. The recesses are closed with small plates of appropriate size. Of course, the smaller plates can be divided one or more times. The recesses in the insert plates are preferably provided at the level of the wheelbases of the garbage containers. Likewise, it is advantageous to choose the size of the recesses equal. Thus, the provision of small plates in terms of dimensions is also kept small. Preferably, the recesses are square or rectangular. Other shapes, for example round or triangular shapes are not excluded. This can be ensured in a simple manner a perfect safe setting of garbage containers with different wheelbases and heights. The smaller plates can be easily removed with the aid of a tool, for example a screwdriver. For this purpose, the small plates on one or more sides corresponding recesses for the insertion of the tool.

It is also within the scope of the invention to design the smaller plates in their thickness different from the thickness of the extension plates. Two superimposed smaller plates could correspond to the thickness of the insert plate. In another embodiment, the smaller plate has a greater thickness than the insert plate.

In a particular embodiment of the insert plate with recesses, the sides of the recesses are chamfered, which point in the direction of the front door. This makes it easier to set the garbage containers in the garbage container cabinet and also pull out for emptying.

For lifting the extension plates or parts of the extension plates they can be provided with arrangements, for example, embedded metal eyelets.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, in particular in refuse container cabinets in which the refuse containers are filled after opening the front doors by tilting, the tilt angle of the refuse containers is limited to the front by a length adjustable fishing rope. To set the length of the safety rope metal sleeves are anchored with internal thread in the / the side wall / walls and the top wall of the dumpster cabinets in the appropriate amount. In the internal thread slotted bolts are secured with a hex nut in a position that allows the insertion of the safety rope and the inclusion of a second hex nut. With the second hexagon nut, the safety rope is clamped after setting the desired length. Setting the desired length of the fishing line means that the tilt angle for the refuse container is given. When adjusting the length of the safety ropes for the waste containers, the front hex nut is released from the mounting unit, the safety cable loosened in the slotted bolt, adjusted the length and clamped again. The garbage can now be properly dumped in the dumpster. If differently sized refuse containers are set in the refuse container cabinets, then it is possible for the catch ropes to adjust the rope length according to the size of the respective refuse container.

For the attachment of the rope, other known clamping devices can be used. So could be dispensed with the slotted bolt and for a pin with a small plate and incorporated groove can be used. It is also within the scope of the invention to replace the cable with clamping devices by a chain with hooks, or simply to use a screw with washer.

Of course, the aforementioned arrangements for adjusting the tilt angle of the garbage containers can also be used in dumpster cabinets without bottom plate.

In another embodiment of the invention, roll limiters are provided on the floor-level insert plate behind the rear edge of the recesses for the smaller plates or seen at the level of the virtual recesses. By Rollbegrenzer the Mülltonnenradposition is defined in the dumpster cabinet. The Rollbegrenzer can be provided for each parked in the refuse bin garbage container. But they come especially to bear when differently high waste containers or garbage containers are set with different volumes in a garbage container cabinet. For the larger waste container, the smaller plates are removed from the recesses of the insert plate. This defines the position for this garbage container, since the wheels of the Waste bin are blocked by the recesses. The smaller garbage bin is not fixed in position because the recesses remain closed by the small plates. The positioning is done in this embodiment of the invention by the roll limiter.

Of course, the arrangement of Rollbegrenzer is not limited to refuse container cabinets with extension leaves, but can also be used in other refuse containers cabinets of other types and even those without an insert plate

The roll limiters consist of an angle profile, which is firmly connected to two rails provided with slots. To attach the roll limiters anchors are provided with a sleeve with internal thread or plug in the bottom of the refuse container cabinet or in the extension plates in the region of the slots in the rails. The desired positioning of the roll limiter is made possible by threaded into the sleeves threaded bolt or socket pin. Thus, the positioning is preferably given the smaller waste container.

Preferably, the hex nuts can be designed so that no special tools such as open-end wrenches are necessary for their tightening and opening. One possibility would be to design them as thumbscrews.

The inventive design of the extension plates for refuse container cabinets, it is possible to adapt standardized waste container cabinets to a variety of refuse containers of different dimensions, without the Müllcontainerschrankformen itself must be changed.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.
