Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for receiving deposit bottles, cans or the like in bags or boxes.
  • the invention also relates to a system for receiving deposit bottles, cans or the like in bags or boxes.
  • Such return vending machines are often configured to receive one bottle or can at a time.
  • a further feature in relation to such machines is the possibility to return a crate with bottles.
  • Such crates are standard crates with individual compartments each for holding a bottle.
  • the invention tries to solve the problem that the user has to insert one can or bottle at the time or have to use crates specified to the exact type or size of bottle.
  • the present invention deals with the problem by placing a collecting container at a recycling centre or at a car park.
  • the car park could be a car park near to a shopping centre.
  • a user delivers a number of deposit cans or bottles to a collecting container and when handing in the deposit cans or bottles they are placed in bags or boxes, which bags or boxes are marked by a marking unit in such a way that each bag or box through the marking can be attached to information on the user, where the user information is derived from an identification card, a credit card or a debit card.
  • a collecting container comprises a marking unit for applying a unique code, image or identification chip or tag to a bag or box for deposit cans or bottles, which code, image or identification chip or tag can be linked to a user through an identification card, a credit card or a debit card.
  • the collecting container can be provided with one or more depositing inlets configured to receive a bag or box filled with deposit cans or bottles.
  • the system for receiving deposit bottles, cans or the like in bags or boxes comprises a collecting container 1 with at least one inlet 2 for handing in bags, boxes or the like 3 containing deposit cans or bottles 4.
  • a slot 5 for insertion of a card 6 for identification of the user handing in the bag or box containing deposit cans or bottles.
  • Other kind of card readers could be used.
  • the type of card reader is not essential, but a type of card reader which is not easy to break or ravage is preferred.
  • the card 6 can be a special card issued from the organisation handling deposit goods, a card 6 attached to one or more chains of shops, a credit card or a debit card.
  • keyboard or keypad 7 making it possible for the user to type a code or type a cell phone number on order to receive a SMS or the like containing information, which information could be that the amount of money relating to the handed in deposit cans or bottles is deposited on the users account.
  • a screen 13 When the card 6 is inserted in the slot 5 or when the card 6 is read by the card reader, a screen 13 will present information about handling of the bags or boxes 3 when handing in the deposit cans or bottles 4. At substantially the same time a door will open and give access to the inlet opening 2
  • the bag or box is placed in the inlet opening 2 on a tray and the user is through information on a display 13 asked if he or she wants to hand in the bag or box.
  • Typical information from the display 13 when the card 6 is read could be. "Please place the bag (or box) on the tray”. When a bag or box is detected in the inlet the user is asked if he or she wants to hand in the bag or box.
  • the door will be closed and the bag or box 3 is marked with an individual code or image or an identification chip or tag by a marking unit 9, which code, image, identification chip or tag makes it possible to recognise the exact same bag or box 3 when the bag or box 3 is emptied and the information from the card 6 is linked together with the code or image from the bags or boxes 3 handed in by the card holder. Thereby it is possible later to deposit the correct amount of money to an account of the user.
  • the bag or box 3 is marked it is transported by a conveyor 8 or the like into the container 1.
  • the bags or boxes 3 are transported into a first enclosure 10 of the container 1.
  • the container 1 can be divided into two enclosures, a first enclosure 10 and a second enclosure 11 by a moveable dividing wall 12. During the container being filled the dividing wall 12 is moved against the end of the container facing away from the inlet opening 2.
  • the collecting container 1 can be provided with more than one inlet for handing in bags or boxes 3 with deposit cans or bottles 4.
  • the collecting container 1 is not provided with a moveable dividing wall 12.
  • the collecting container 1 can be provided with distributing means for positioning the bags or boxes 3 within the collecting container 1 in a convenient manner.
  • the size of the collecting container 1 can be determined by data showing the quantity of deposit cans of bottles handed in at the location. The aim is to empty the collecting container regularly, so that the user will not have to wait too long before the deposit amount is transferred to the users account.
  • the display 13 makes it possible for the user to select handing in more bags or boxes 3. If "YES" is selected the door closes and the process continues as described above, though the user only needs to use the card once.
  • the display 13 can ask if the user wants to receive a SMS when the deposit amount is transferred to the users account. If “YES” is selected it will be possible for the user to type a cell phone number for receiving the SMS. The number can be typed directly on the display 13 or at the keyboard or keypad 7 if placed close to the display 13.
  • the receipt 14 can contain information on who is the user, name, how many bags or boxes 3 are handed in, the location of the collecting container 1, etc.
  • the system prepares for the next user.
  • the collecting container 1 When the collecting container 1 is full, it is picked up and transported to the nearest authorized handler of deposit cans or bottles.
  • bags or boxes are identified, which identification is used i.e. when a user wants information about where in the deposit flow the individual bags or boxes are, and when the deposit amount is expected to be transferred to the users account.
  • the bags or boxes When the bags or boxes are counted the bags or boxes automatically are identified by the code, image, identification chip or tag, making it possible to determine and prove which bag or box belongs to each return delivery.
  • the SMS is sent when the deposit cans or bottles are counted and tells the user when the deposit amount will be transferred to the users account.
  • the system will be secured to avoid theft and fraud.
