Description

La présente invention concerne un conteneur de collecte de déchets, notamment une colonne d'apport volontaire de déchets enterrée ou semi-enterrée, selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a waste collection container, in particular a buried or semi-buried voluntary waste feed column, according to the preamble of claim 1.

On connaît dans l'état de la technique le document WO-A-2006/032073 qui décrit un tel conteneur, comprenant au moins une paroi latérale au moins partiellement enterrée et une paroi supérieure, située environ à un mètre de hauteur. Un orifice d'introduction des déchets est ménagé sur la paroi supérieure du conteneur. Le conteneur comprend en outre un couvercle mobile relativement à la paroi supérieure entre une position de fermeture dans lequel il recouvre l'orifice et une position d'ouverture dans lequel il laisse l'accès libre à l'orifice.It is known in the state of the art the document WO-2006/032073 which describes such a container, comprising at least one side wall at least partially buried and a top wall, located at a height of one meter. A waste introduction port is provided on the upper wall of the container. The container further comprises a lid movable relative to the upper wall between a closed position in which it covers the orifice and an open position in which it leaves free access to the orifice.

L'orifice d'introduction est généralement de grandes dimensions pour pouvoir y introduire des gros sacs d'ordures ménagères et il est possible, au vu de la hauteur à laquelle est situé l'orifice, qu'un enfant se glisse dans celui-ci et tombe dans le conteneur.The introduction orifice is generally large to be able to introduce large bags of garbage and it is possible, given the height at which the hole is located, a child slips into it and falls into the container.

On cherche donc à renforcer la sécurité du conteneur pour éviter qu'un enfant ne tombe dans celui-ci.So we try to strengthen the security of the container to prevent a child from falling into it.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un conteneur selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is a container according to claim 1.

Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, lorsque l'on ouvre le couvercle du conteneur pour y déposer des déchets, les moyens de maintien du réceptacle maintiennent le réceptacle en position de réception des déchets. Dans cette position, le réceptacle, placé dans le conteneur, est en regard de l'orifice. Les déchets sont donc déposés dans le réceptacle et on referme le couvercle.Thus, thanks to the invention, when the lid of the container is opened for depositing waste therein, the means for holding the receptacle hold the receptacle in the waste receiving position. In this position, the receptacle, placed in the container, is next to the orifice. The waste is deposited in the receptacle and the lid is closed.

Lorsque le couvercle est en position d'ouverture, le crochet pénètre dans l'orifice de réception du crochet et maintient le réceptacle en position de réception. Ce dispositif est simple et fiable. On notera par ailleurs que l'invention peut comporter plus d'un crochet et d'un orifice. Par exemple, le couvercle peut comporter deux crochets et le réceptacle comporter deux orifices.When the lid is in the open position, the hook enters the receiving hole of the hook and holds the receptacle in the receiving position. This device is simple and reliable. It will be noted moreover that the invention may comprise more than one hook and an orifice. For example, the lid may comprise two hooks and the receptacle have two orifices.

Le dispositif est simple et permet d'éviter qu'un enfant ne tombe accidentellement dans le conteneur. En effet, si un enfant grimpe dans le conteneur par l'orifice d'introduction des déchets en ouvrant le couvercle, il ne peut pas avoir un accès direct à l'intérieur du conteneur car le réceptacle est maintenu en position de réception par les moyens de maintien. Ainsi, lorsque le réceptacle est en position de réception, il n'est pas possible à un enfant de tomber ou de s'introduire dans le conteneur.The device is simple and prevents a child from accidentally falling into the container. Indeed, if a child climbs into the container through the waste introduction port by opening the lid, it can not have direct access to the interior of the container because the receptacle is maintained in the receiving position by the means keeping. Thus, when the receptacle is in the receiving position, it is not possible for a child to fall or to break into the container.

En outre, ce dispositif peut être facilement adapté aux conteneurs déjà existants.In addition, this device can be easily adapted to existing containers.

Le conteneur selon l'invention peut en outre comporter l'une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • Les moyens de maintien sont conformés pour ne pas maintenir le réceptacle en position de réception lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture, de sorte que le réceptacle est apte à prendre sa position escamotée lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture. Ainsi, lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture de l'orifice, les moyens de maintien du réceptacle sont dans une configuration telle que le réceptacle, sous le poids des déchets qu'il contient, peut passer en position escamotée. Dans cette position, les déchets peuvent tomber dans le conteneur. Un tel conteneur permet donc d'assurer la sécurité des enfants tout en offrant un vidage satisfaisant des déchets.
  • Le couvercle est mobile en rotation selon un axe de rotation définissant une extrémité liée du couvercle, le crochet étant situé au voisinage de l'extrémité liée du couvercle.
  • Le réceptacle est mobile en rotation selon un axe de rotation définissant une extrémité liée du réceptacle, l'orifice de réception étant situé au voisinage de l'extrémité libre du réceptacle.
  • Le réceptacle comprend un élément de renfort délimitant l'orifice de réception, notamment la partie supérieure de l'orifice lorsque le réceptacle est en position de réception. Cet élément permet de renforcer le réceptacle pour que l'orifice de réception ne soit pas endommagé lorsque le réceptacle est bloqué en position de réception par le couvercle en position d'ouverture, notamment sous le poids des déchets qui sont placés dans le réceptacle. Cet élément de renfort peut par exemple comprendre une tige.
  • Le réceptacle et le couvercle sont mobiles en rotation selon deux axes de rotation parallèles entre eux, les axes de rotation se trouvant de part et d'autre de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets.
  • Le réceptacle comprend des moyens de rappel du réceptacle en position de réception. Ainsi, lorsque le réceptacle ne contient pas de déchets, il est rappelé, par les moyens de rappel dans sa position de réception. Le réceptacle est alors prêt à être utilisé à nouveau.
  • Les moyens de rappel sont configurés de sorte qu'ils ne peuvent s'opposer au couple généré par le poids de déchets légers, par exemple une masse inférieure à 1 kg et de préférence, une masse inférieure à 0,5 kg.
  • Les moyens de rappel comprennent au moins un ressort.
  • La paroi comportant l'orifice d'introduction des déchets est une paroi supérieure du conteneur, le réceptacle étant alors situé sous l'orifice alors que le couvercle est situé au-dessus de l'orifice.
  • Le conteneur comprend au moins une paroi latérale destinée à être au moins partiellement enterrée.
The container according to the invention may further comprise one or more of the following features:
  • The holding means are shaped not to keep the receptacle in the receiving position when the lid is in the closed position, so that the receptacle is adapted to take its retracted position when the lid is in the closed position. Thus, when the lid is in the closed position of the orifice, the holding means of the receptacle are in such a configuration that the receptacle, under the weight of the waste that it contains, can pass into the retracted position. In this position, the waste can fall into the container. Such a container thus ensures the safety of children while providing a satisfactory dump waste.
  • The lid is rotatable about an axis of rotation defining a bonded end of the lid, the hook being located near the bonded end of the lid.
  • The receptacle is rotatable about an axis of rotation defining a bonded end of the receptacle, the receiving orifice being located in the vicinity of the free end of the receptacle.
  • The receptacle comprises a reinforcing element delimiting the receiving orifice, in particular the upper part of the orifice when the receptacle is in the receiving position. This element reinforces the receptacle so that the receiving orifice is not damaged when the receptacle is locked in the receiving position by the lid in the open position, in particular under the weight waste that is placed in the receptacle. This reinforcing element may for example comprise a rod.
  • The receptacle and the lid are movable in rotation along two axes of rotation parallel to each other, the axes of rotation lying on either side of the waste introduction orifice.
  • The receptacle comprises means for returning the receptacle to the receiving position. Thus, when the receptacle does not contain waste, it is recalled by the return means in its receiving position. The receptacle is then ready for use again.
  • The return means are configured so that they can not oppose the torque generated by the weight of light waste, for example a mass less than 1 kg and preferably a mass less than 0.5 kg.
  • The return means comprise at least one spring.
  • The wall comprising the waste introduction orifice is an upper wall of the container, the receptacle then being located under the orifice while the lid is located above the orifice.
  • The container comprises at least one side wall intended to be at least partially buried.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un conteneur selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue en coupe schématique, selon l'axe A-A de la figure 1, de la paroi d'un conteneur comprenant un orifice d'introduction des déchets et un réceptacle selon l'invention, le couvercle étant en position de fermeture de l'orifice,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en coupe similaire à la figure 2, le couvercle étant en position d'ouverture,
  • les figures 4 à 6 sont des vues en coupe similaire à la figure 2, montrant le comportement du réceptacle lorsque des déchets étant placés dans le réceptacle.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and with reference to the drawings in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a container according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 is a schematic sectional view, along the axis AA of the figure 1 , the wall of a container comprising a waste introduction port and a receptacle according to the invention, the lid being in the closed position of the orifice,
  • the figure 3 is a sectional view similar to the figure 2 with the lid in the open position,
  • the Figures 4 to 6 are sectional views similar to the figure 2 , showing the behavior of the receptacle when waste is placed in the receptacle.

On a représenté, à la figure 1, un conteneur 10 selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention. Le conteneur présente une forme essentiellement cylindrique. Il comprend une paroi latérale 12, s'étendant verticalement et comprenant une portion inférieure 14, destinée à être enterrée, et une portion supérieure 16, destinée à être placée au-dessus de la voie publique.We have shown, at the figure 1 , a container 10 according to a particular embodiment of the invention. The container has a substantially cylindrical shape. It comprises a lateral wall 12, extending vertically and comprising a lower portion 14, intended to be buried, and an upper portion 16, intended to be placed above the public road.

Le conteneur 10 comprend également une base 18 située sous la paroi latérale et d'un seul tenant avec celle-ci. Cette base présente une forme hémisphérique et forme un fond pour le conteneur. Elle comprend des moyens de fixation 20 à son extrémité inférieure pour ancrer la base dans le sol.The container 10 also includes a base 18 located under the side wall and integral with it. This base has a hemispherical shape and forms a bottom for the container. It comprises fastening means 20 at its lower end for anchoring the base in the ground.

Il comprend également un capuchon 21 mis en place à l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi latérale 12 et formant une paroi supérieure 22 du conteneur. La base 18, la paroi latérale 12 et la paroi supérieure 22 délimitent ainsi un logement à l'intérieur du conteneur permettant de stocker les déchets. Un sac (non représenté) est souvent agencé dans ce logement pour contenir les déchets. Un tel sac est généralement relié à la paroi 22.It also comprises a cap 21 placed at the upper end of the side wall 12 and forming an upper wall 22 of the container. The base 18, the side wall 12 and the upper wall 22 thus define a housing inside the container for storing the waste. A bag (not shown) is often arranged in this housing to contain the waste. Such a bag is generally connected to the wall 22.

Un crochet de levage 24 est agencé sur la paroi 22, au centre de celui-ci. Il permet le levage des déchets, plus exactement de la paroi 22 et du sac contenant les déchets, et ainsi le vidage du conteneur. La paroi 22 comprend également un orifice d'introduction des déchets 26, visible sur la figure 2 notamment, pour permettre à un producteur de déchets d'insérer ses déchets dans le conteneur sans avoir à soulever la paroi 22.A lifting hook 24 is arranged on the wall 22, in the center thereof. It allows the lifting of the waste, more precisely the wall 22 and the bag containing the waste, and thus the emptying of the container. The wall 22 also comprises a waste introduction orifice 26, visible on the figure 2 in particular, to allow a waste producer to insert his waste into the container without having to lift the wall 22.

Cet orifice d'introduction est recouvert d'un couvercle 28 monté mobile en rotation selon un axe de rotation 30 horizontal solidaire de la paroi 22. Ce couvercle 28 est mobile entre une position de fermeture dans laquelle il recouvre l'orifice 26 et l'obture et une position d'ouverture dans laquelle il laisse l'accès libre à l'orifice 26. L'extrémité 32 du couvercle, proche de l'axe de rotation 30, est définie comme « l'extrémité liée » du couvercle alors que l'extrémité opposée 34 du couvercle est définie comme « l'extrémité libre » du couvercle. Ces deux extrémités sont situées de part et d'autre de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26.This insertion orifice is covered with a lid 28 mounted to rotate in a horizontal axis of rotation integral with the wall 22. This lid 28 is movable between a closed position in which it covers the orifice 26 and the closes and an open position in which it leaves free access to the orifice 26. The end 32 of the lid, close to the axis of rotation 30, is defined as "the linked end" of the lid while the opposite end 34 of the lid is defined as the "free end" of the lid. These two ends are located on either side of the waste introduction port 26.

Ce conteneur comprend en outre, un réceptacle 36 comprenant une dépression délimitée par des paroi latérales et un fond qui définissent un volume ouvert sur au moins un de ses côtés et destiné à recevoir un déchet. Comme on peut le voir à la figure 2, ce réceptacle est placé dans le conteneur 10, en regard de l'orifice 26. Ce réceptacle 36 est monté mobile en rotation selon un axe de rotation 38 solidaire de la paroi 22 entre une position de réception et une position escamotée.This container further comprises a receptacle 36 comprising a depression delimited by side walls and a bottom which define an open volume on at least one of its sides and intended to receive a waste. As can be seen at figure 2 , This receptacle is placed in the container 10, facing the orifice 26. This receptacle 36 is rotatably mounted along an axis of rotation 38 integral with the wall 22 between a receiving position and a retracted position.

Le réceptacle 36 comprend, tout comme le couvercle 28, une extrémité liée 40, proche de l'axe de rotation 38 du réceptacle, et une extrémité libre opposée 42. Dans la position de réception illustrée par la figure 2, ces deux extrémités sont situées de part et d'autre de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26.The receptacle 36 comprises, just like the cover 28, a linked end 40, close to the axis of rotation 38 of the receptacle, and an opposite free end 42. In the receiving position illustrated by the figure 2 these two ends are located on either side of the waste introduction port 26.

Dans le cas présent, l'axe de rotation 30 du couvercle 28 est parallèle à l'axe de rotation 38 du réceptacle 36 et les deux axes de rotation se trouvent de part et d'autre de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26.In this case, the axis of rotation 30 of the cover 28 is parallel to the axis of rotation 38 of the receptacle 36 and the two axes of rotation are on either side of the waste introduction port 26 .

Le réceptacle 36 comprend aussi des moyens de rappel 44 du réceptacle dans sa position de réception. Ces moyens de rappel 44 comprennent, dans ce mode de réalisation, un ressort 44 situé au voisinage de l'axe de rotation 38 du réceptacle, permettant au réceptacle 36, lorsqu'il est vide, de conserver sa position de réception, comme on peut le voir à la figure 2.The receptacle 36 also comprises return means 44 of the receptacle in its receiving position. These return means 44 comprise, in this embodiment, a spring 44 located in the vicinity of the axis of rotation 38 of the receptacle, allowing the receptacle 36, when empty, to maintain its receiving position, as can be see him at the figure 2 .

Le couvercle 28 comprend, en outre, des moyens de maintien du réceptacle dans sa position de réception, par exemple un crochet 46 situé au voisinage de l'extrémité liée 32 du couvercle 28 s'étendant vers le bas lorsque le couvercle 28 est en position de fermeture.The cover 28 further comprises means for holding the receptacle in its receiving position, for example a hook 46 situated in the vicinity of the connected end 32 of the cover 28 extending downwards when the cover 28 is in position. closure.

Ce crochet 46 comprend, dans ce mode de réalisation, une première partie essentiellement horizontale lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture et située au voisinage de l'extrémité liée 32 du couvercle dont une extrémité est solidaire du couvercle 28. La seconde partie du crochet 46 est essentiellement arrondie, formant approximativement un quart de cercle dirigé vers le bas lorsque le couvercle est en position de fermeture, solidaire de l'extrémité de la première partie à l'opposé de l'extrémité solidaire du couvercle 28.This hook 46 comprises, in this embodiment, a first substantially horizontal portion when the lid is in the closed position and located in the vicinity of the linked end 32 of the lid, one end of which is secured to the lid 28. The second part of the hook 46 is essentially rounded, forming approximately a quarter of a circle directed downwards when the lid is in the closed position, integral with the end of the first part opposite the integral end of the lid 28.

Le réceptacle comprend également un orifice de réception 48 du crochet 46 situé au voisinage de l'extrémité libre 42 du réceptacle 36, plus précisément au voisinage de la partie supérieure de la paroi latérale de l'extrémité libre du réceptacle. Dans ce mode de réalisation, l'orifice de réception 48 comprend un élément de renfort 50, par exemple une tige, délimitant la partie supérieure de l'orifice de réception 48. Cet élément de renfort pourrait également être formé par une sur-épaisseur ou une protubérance venues de matière avec le réceptacle 36.The receptacle also comprises a receiving orifice 48 of the hook 46 situated in the vicinity of the free end 42 of the receptacle 36, more precisely in the vicinity of the upper part of the lateral wall of the free end of the receptacle. In this embodiment, the receiving orifice 48 comprises a reinforcing element 50, for example a rod, delimiting the upper part of the receiving orifice 48. This reinforcing element could also be formed by an over-thickness or a protuberance integrally formed with the receptacle 36.

On va maintenant décrire le fonctionnement du conteneur selon l'invention.We will now describe the operation of the container according to the invention.

Lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, le conteneur se présente comme à la figure 2, sur laquelle on voit que le couvercle 28 est en position de fermeture de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26 et les moyens de rappel 44 du réceptacle 36 maintiennent le réceptacle 36 dans sa position de réception.When not in use, the container is presented as figure 2 , on which we see that the lid 28 is in the closed position of the waste introduction port 26 and the return means 44 of the receptacle 36 hold the receptacle 36 in its receiving position.

Comme représenté à la figure 3, lorsqu'un utilisateur ouvre le couvercle 28 pour introduire des déchets dans le conteneur 10, le crochet 46 s'engage dans l'orifice de réception 48, renforcé par la tige 50. La tige 50 ne peut donc se déplacer vers le bas et la paroi de l'extrémité libre 42 du réceptacle ne peut pas non plus se déplacer vers le bas. Le réceptacle 36 est donc maintenu dans sa position de réception par introduction du crochet 46 dans l'orifice de réception 48 et il ne peut pas prendre sa positon d'escamotage. En effet, il ne peut pas pivoter autour de son axe de rotation 38 du fait que son extrémité libre 42 est maintenue en position de réception du réceptacle 36 par le crochet 46 inséré dans l'orifice de réception 48.As represented in figure 3 when a user opens the lid 28 to introduce waste into the container 10, the hook 46 engages in the receiving orifice 48, reinforced by the rod 50. The rod 50 can not move downwards and the wall of the free end 42 of the receptacle can not move downwards either. The receptacle 36 is thus maintained in its receiving position by introduction of the hook 46 into the receiving orifice 48 and it can not take its position of retraction. Indeed, it can not pivot about its axis of rotation 38 because its free end 42 is held in the receiving position of the receptacle 36 by the hook 46 inserted into the receiving orifice 48.

Lorsque le réceptacle 36 est en position de réception, on voit qu'il n'est pas possible, même accidentellement, d'avoir un accès direct à l'intérieur du conteneur 10. Ainsi, on assure la fonction de sécurité enfant qui empêche qu'un enfant, ouvrant le couvercle 28 puisse tomber dans le conteneur 10. En effet, lorsqu'on ouvre le couvercle 28, le réceptacle 36, placé en regard de l'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26 qu'il ferme presque complètement, ne laisse aucun accès direct à l'intérieur du conteneur 10.When the receptacle 36 is in the receiving position, it is seen that it is not possible, even accidentally, to have direct access to the interior of the container 10. Thus, it ensures the child safety function that prevents that a child, opening the lid 28 can fall into the container 10. In fact, when the lid 28 is opened, the receptacle 36, placed next to the waste introduction port 26 that closes almost completely, leaves no direct access to the interior of the container 10.

L'utilisateur dépose ensuite les déchets, représentés ici par un sac poubelle 52, dans le réceptacle 36 qui est maintenu, malgré le poids du sac 52, dans sa position de réception grâce au crochet 46 inséré dans l'orifice de réception 48 du crochet.The user then deposits the waste, represented here by a trash bag 52, in the receptacle 36 which is held, despite the weight of the bag 52, in its receiving position by means of the hook 46 inserted in the receiving orifice 48 of the hook .

L'utilisateur referme alors de couvercle 28 et le crochet 46 situé au voisinage de l'extrémité liée 32 du couvercle 28 pivote, ce qui a pour effet de désengager le crochet 46 de l'orifice de réception 48. Comme on peut le voir à la figure 5, lorsque le crochet 46 est entièrement dégagé de l'orifice 48, le réceptacle 36, sous l'effet conjugué de son propre poids et du poids du sac poubelle 52, prend sa position d'escamotage par pivotement autour de son axe de rotation 38. Le couple généré par le poids des déchets et du réceptacle est alors supérieur au couple généré par les moyens de rappel 44.The user then closes the lid 28 and the hook 46 located in the vicinity of the linked end 32 of the lid 28 pivots, which has the effect of disengaging the hook 46 from the receiving orifice 48. As can be seen at the figure 5 when the hook 46 is completely clear of the orifice 48, the receptacle 36, under the combined effect of its own weight and the weight of the garbage bag 52, takes its position of retraction by pivoting about its axis of rotation 38 The torque generated by the weight of the waste and the receptacle is then greater than the torque generated by the return means 44.

En position d'escamotage complète, le réceptacle est dans une position telle que le sac poubelle 52 tombe dans le conteneur 10. On constate que le réceptacle 36 ne peut prendre cette position escamotée que lorsque le couvercle 28 est en position de fermeture et que le crochet 46 est en position dégagée par rapport à l'orifice de réception 48. En d'autres mots, il faut que le crochet 46 ne soit plus inséré dans l'orifice de réception 48 afin que le réceptacle 36 puisse prendre sa position escamotée.In full retraction position, the receptacle is in a position such that the garbage bag 52 falls into the container 10. It can be seen that the receptacle 36 can take this retracted position only when the lid 28 is in the closed position and the hook 46 is in the disengaged position relative to the receiving orifice 48. In other words, it is necessary that the hook 46 is no longer inserted in the receiving orifice 48 so that the receptacle 36 can take its retracted position.

Une fois le sac poubelle 52 dans le conteneur, sous l'effet des moyens de rappel 44, le réceptacle 36 reprend sa position de réception par pivotement autour de son axe de rotation 38. En effet, le couple généré par le poids du réceptacle 36 seul est inférieur au couple généré par les moyens de rappel 44.Once the trash bag 52 in the container, under the effect of the return means 44, the receptacle 36 resumes its receiving position by pivoting about its axis of rotation 38. Indeed, the torque generated by the weight of the receptacle 36 only is lower than the torque generated by the return means 44.

Le conteneur 10 est donc prêt à recevoir de nouveaux déchets.The container 10 is ready to receive new waste.

On notera que l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation précédemment décrit. En particulier, les moyens de maintien peuvent comprendre plusieurs crochets 46 et le réceptacle 36 peut comprendre plusieurs orifices de réception 48 des crochets 46. L'élément de renfort 42 peut être par exemple une tige métallique droite, elle peut également ne pas être droite, ou être réalisée dans un matériau différent. Les moyens de rappel sont optionnels et peuvent être remplacés par des moyens de déplacements du réceptacle commandés par l'utilisateur. L'orifice d'introduction des déchets 26 peut être situé sur une autre paroi du conteneur que la paroi supérieure 22. Les axes de rotation 30 et 38 ne sont pas nécessairement horizontaux ni parallèles.It should be noted that the invention is not limited to the embodiment previously described. In particular, the holding means may comprise several hooks 46 and the receptacle 36 may comprise several receiving orifices 48 of the hooks 46. The reinforcing element 42 may be for example a straight metal rod, it may also not be straight, or be made of a different material. The return means are optional and can be replaced by means of movement of the receptacle controlled by the user. The waste introduction orifice 26 may be located on another wall of the container than the upper wall 22. The axes of rotation 30 and 38 are not necessarily horizontal or parallel.
