Definitions
- the present invention relates to a compartmentalised wheeled container ( Figures 1 & 2) that allows for the efficient sorting of waste and recyclable materials in one unit.
- Refuse containers or wheelie bins as they are commonly known are used often to transport waste and recyclables from the household to the kerbside for collection.
- the bins are typically emptied by a truck with either an arm with jaws or a comb- like apparatus with a clamp.
- Multiple wheelie bins or containers such as sacks or plastic boxes are used to segregate the different waste materials prior to collection causing clutter on the pavements and necessitating the lifting of unspecified weights, both of which can be hazardous. Paper can be particularly heavy when wet.
- Terraced housing estates with narrow streets are vulnerable to the above issues to a greater degree because of the lack of space.
- the invention may be made from any suitable material such as metal or plastics. Typically the material is corrosion resistant and can be sourced from recycled materials.
- the invention relates to a wheelie bin with separate compartments and two lids. Drainage channels are used to keep the contents free from rain contamination.
- the bin is compatible with standard bin lifting and emptying equipment.
- Figure 1 shows a side view of the invention and contains aspects of the lids (A3 & A4), wheels ( Figure A8), T-piece (A5 & A6), reinforced lifting section (A2), wheel axles (A9) and pivot bar (A10) around which the lids operate.
- Figure 2 shows the handles (B11) and the reinforcing ribs (B10).
- Figure 3 shows a plan view of the bin body and shows the handles (B11), reinforced lifting section (A2), wheel housings (C12 ) and axle housings (C13), T- piece retaining slot (C15) and T-piece block retaining slot (C14).
- Figure 4 shows a cutaway of the bin showing the body (A1) with the wet side lid (A3) in the open position resting on the closed dry side lid (A4). The open lid is prevented from pivoting by the top of the T-piece (J1) which will only allow the lids to pivot when both are fully open.
- Figure 5 shows a side view of the bin with the wet lid (A3) in the open position resting on the closed lid (A4).
- Figure 6 shows both lids in a closed aspect with the sections F3 and F4.
- the pivot bar(A10) can also be seen.
- FIG 7 shows the top section of the T-piece water drainage channels (J1), retaining block (J2) and pivot bar holes (J3).
- Figure 8 shows a side view of the T-piece assembly with drainage channels (J1 ), retaining block (J2), axle holes (J3), retaining bolt holes (J 10) and upper part of separator section (A6).
- FIG 9 shows a front view of the T-piece (A5) assembly with drainage channels (J1), retaining block (J2), pivot bar holes (J3), retaining bolt holes (J10) and separator section (A6).
- Figure 10 shows lids (A3 and A4) and a section of the main body.
- Figure 11 shows a lid in the interlocked/closed position and a section of the main body.
- the figure is cutaway to show the lid handle (P1 ) and the distance it travels (X) before buffering against the bin body.
- the lip A1 can also be seen interlocking with the lid in this aspect.
- the reinforced lifting section (A2) can be seen cutaway with the reinforcing ribs also visible.
- Figure 12 shows a side view of the bin body with the drainage angle of the rim (Y)-
- FIG 13 shows the two lids interlocking with one (A4) in the open aspect and the other (A3) in the closed aspect.
- the T-piece can also be seen and the section that restricts the open lid from pivoting during emptying is denoted by (Z).
- the present invention comprises a lid assembly and a wheelie bin dividing insert and a drainage facility.
- the lid assembly comprises two lids mounted either side of a central hinge.
- each lid has a an end which is proximal with respect to the hinge and an end which is distal from the hinge.
- Each lid is designed with a female lip ( Figure 4 D1 ) at the distal rim.
- Each lid has hinge sections at the proximal end through which the hinge is threaded.
- the hinge aperture is in a slotted configuration in order to allow both rotation of the lid about the hinge axis and movement of the lid substantially in the plain of the lid ( Figure 5).
- the hinge is mounted and secured on a T-piece which has supporting blocks at either end for this purpose. Drainage channels run on either side of the hinge bar and these channels also accommodate the slotted sections at the proximal end of each lid when in both the open and closed positions. Furthermore the drainage channels are designed to prevent pivotal movement of the lids when they are in the secured position.
- Each lid may also have one or more recessed handles in a wedge shaped configuration tapered towards the proximal end of the lid which may also act as supporting and strengthening ribs.
- the proximal ends interlock ( Figure 6).
- the T-piece sits on top of the dividing insert ( Figure 8).
- Each lid may be colour coded for identification purposes.
- the invention further comprises a wheelie bin body designed to accommodate the lid assembly described above.
- Two female slotted sections are incorporated into the rim of the bin aperture to accommodate the T-piece supporting blocks of the lid assembly.
- a channel to accommodate the dividing piece is located on the internal walls and floor of the bin, thereby allowing the T-piece and divider to be connected to the bin in a watertight and secure manner.
- the bin has four wheels mounted just above the base and are placed so as to be raised off the ground when the bin is in the upright position The wheels are secured to the bin with axles which are threaded through moulded housings in the floor of the bin and run the width of the bin base.
- the bin body has handles placed at either end to allow the bin to be moved from either end by tilting the bin onto a pair of wheels at the relevant end. These handles may be incorporated in the reinforced lifting section.
- the bin body also has two male lip sections to accommodate the female lips at the distal end of each lid.
- the bin has moulded sections to allow it to be utilised by standard bin lifting equipment.
- the bin may be tapered for stacking to allow for ergonomic transportation of large quantities.
- Either lid may be opened by drawing it substantially horizontally away from the hinge before raising said lid.
- the butt end of the wedge shaped handle on the lid may act as a buffer against the bin wall to prevent unnecessary wear or stress to the hinge ( Figure 11 ).
- the lid may then be then lowered with respect to the hinge so that the end of the hinge slots furthest from the main body of the lid rests in the drainage channels of the T-piece to brace the lid in the open position for filling the relevant partition of the container.
- the lid may be secured in the closed position by lowering it on to the bin and pushing it substantially horizontally towards the hinge, so that the female lip of the bin receives the male lip of the container rim.
- the rim of the container is angled so that both lids are inclined downwards towards the hinge to allow rain to flow towards the drainage channels on the T-piece and also to prevent standing water on the lids or in the lid handles (Figure 12).
- Figure 13 When one lid is opened fully it lies flat on the closed lid and their respective hinges interlock ( Figure 13).
- the closed lid is in the secure position with its securing lip engaged with the container lip and the hinge bar positioned at the end of the hinge slot nearest the main body of the closed lid.
- the open lid is also secured in position by the combination of the interlocking hinges and the position of the hinge bar.
- the open lid is also prevented from pivoting by the T-piece raised section between the drainage channels (Z) which is designed to accommodate the slotted hinge sections of the lids. Strengthening ribs may be used on the bin for secure operation and longevity.
- the lid assembly and container may be made from metal or plastic or a combination of both or any other materials that fulfil the necessary requirements and standards.
