Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1, for the efficient sorting of waste and recyclable materials in one unit.
  • Refuse containers wheeled 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 apparatus according to 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.
  • US6050442 discloses an apparatus for retaining waste according to the precharacterising portion of claim 1.
  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for retaining waste as detailed in claim 1, said apparatus being configured for a container according to claim 6.
  • Advantageous features are provided in dependent claims.
  • each lid A3, A4 has an end which is proximal with respect to the pivot bar A10 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 a hinge section at the proximal end through which the pivot bar A10 is threaded.
  • a hinge aperture 40 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 plane of the lid ( Figure 5 ).
  • the pivot bar A10 is mounted and secured on a T-piece A5 which has retaining blocks J2 at either end for this purpose. Drainage channels J1 run on either side of the pivot bar A10 and these channels also accommodate projecting members 30 at the proximal end of each lid A3, A4 when in both the open and closed positions.
  • each lid A3, A4 may also have one or more recessed handles P1 in a wedge shaped configuration tapered towards the proximal end of the lid A3, A4 which may also act as supporting and strengthening ribs.
  • the proximal ends interlock ( Figure 6 ).
  • the T-piece A5 sits on top of the dividing piece A6 ( Figure 8 ).
  • Each lid (A3, A4) may be colour coded for identification purposes.
  • a wheeled refuse container A1 is designed to accommodate the lid assembly described above.
  • Two T-piece block retaining slotsC14 are incorporated into the rim of the bin aperture to accommodate the retaining blocks J2 of the lid assembly.
  • a locating channel C15 to accommodate the dividing piece A6 is located on the internal walls and floor of the bin, thereby allowing the T-piece A5 and dividing piece A6 to be connected to the bin in a watertight and secure manner.
  • the bin has four wheels A8 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 A8 are secured to the wheeled refuse container A1 with axles A9 which are threaded through moulded housings C13 in the floor of the bin and run the width of the bin base.
  • the bin body has handles B11 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 B11 may be incorporated in the reinforced lifting section A2.
  • the bin body also has two male lips A20 to accommodate the female lips D1 at the distal end of each lid A3, A4.
  • the bin has reinforced lifting sections A2 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 A3, A4 may be opened by drawing it substantially horizontally away from the hinge before raising said lid.
  • a butt end 20 of the recessed handle P1 on the lid A3, A4 may act as a buffer against the bin wall to prevent unnecessary wear or stress to the hinge ( Figure 11 ).
  • the lid A3, A4 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 A3, A4 may be secured in the closed position by lowering it on to the wheeled refuse container A1 and pushing it substantially horizontally towards the hinge, so that the female lip D1 of the lid receives the male lip A20 of the rim of the container A1.
  • the rim of the wheeled refuse container A1 is angled so that both lids A3, A4 are inclined downwards towards the hinge to allow rain to flow towards the drainage channels J1 on the T-piece A5 and also to prevent standing water on the lids or in the recessed handles P1 ( Figure 12 ).
  • When one lid A3 is opened fully it lies flat on the other closed lid A4 and their respective hinges interlock ( Figure 13 ).
  • the open lid A3 is also secured in position by the combination of the interlocking hinges and the position of the pivot bar A10.
  • the open lid A3 is also prevented from pivoting by the T-piece A5 between the drainage channels J1 which is designed to accommodate the slotted hinge sections of the lids.
  • Reinforcing ribs B10 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.
