- a waste container that comprises a bin provided with a collar for gripping the bin.
- the collar is placed at the edge of the top opening of the bin for inserting waste into the bin.
- the collar serves to stiffen the bin and to enable the bin to be gripped when it is full of waste in order to be picked up and emptied out into a collection skip.
- ribs are essential for reinforcing the collar and for enabling it to withstand the high levels of stress to which it is subjected, in particular while the bin is being emptied out.
- Document EP 0726 172 also discloses a container for collecting waste and comprising a bin provided with wheels enabling it to be moved over the ground.
- the wheels are carried by an axle that is mounted on bearings, which bearings are constituted by ribs molded integrally with the bin. Those ribs are formed in a setback in the wall constituting the bottom of the bin and enabling the axle carrying the wheels to be received therein.
- Document EP 1 702 867 discloses a waste-collection container according the preamble of claim 1.
- the ribs are defined by at least two substantially parallel rectilinear edges, one of which is secured to the wall of the bin, and by a third edge that is free, i.e. it does not touch any of the walls of the bin. In said examples of the state of the art, that third edge is rectilinear.
- some of the ribs are U-shaped or L-shaped, and they are interrupted transversally by one or more additional ribs parallel to the wall of the waste-collection container.
- the present invention seeks to propose a solution to the problem of the ribs of containers cracking or breaking.
- the present invention provides a waste-collection container according to claim 1.
- the third edge presents a length that is at least 10% longer than the distance between the two ends it interconnects.
- the rib is in the form of a trapezoid with a first long side integral with the bin, a second long side parallel to the first but shorter than the first long side, a free third side, and a fourth side substantially perpendicular to the first and second sides.
- the container 1 shown in Figure 1 comprises a bin 2 having a top opening for receiving waste. This opening is covered by a lid 3 that is mounted on hinges 4.
- the opening for receiving waste in the container is surrounded by a peripheral collar 5 that can be seen in Figure 2 .
- the collar is reinforced by ribs 6 molded integrally with the bin 2, only two of which being visible in Figure 2 .
- the function of these ribs 6 is to reinforce the collar 5 so as to enable it to withstand the bin being lifted by means of a gripper that engages under the collar. This operation is performed when the bin is emptied into a waste-collection truck.
- the bin of Figure 5 also includes two wheels 7 that are mounted on an axle 8, which axle is carried by two bearings 9.
- Each of the bearings is constituted by a vertical rib molded integrally with the bin 2.
- the wall constituting the bottom of the bin 2 presents a setback 10 that serves to receive the axle 8 carrying the wheels 7.
- each rib 6 is integral both with the side wall of the bin 2 and with the collar 5.
- the rib 6 is defined by an outline formed by four edges, namely a vertical first edge 6a that is connected to the bin 2, i.e. that is integral therewith, an opposite second edge 6b that is parallel to the first edge 6a, but shorter than said first edge 6a, a free third edge 6c that connects the bottom end 13 of the first edge 6a to the bottom end 14 of the second edge 6b, and a fourth edge 6d that is substantially perpendicular to the first and second edges 6a and 6b.
- the collar 5 presents a setback 5a, such that the second edge 6b also presents a setback and is subdivided into two portions.
- This specific feature of the example shown changes nothing to the definition of the second edge, which is parallel with and opposite to the first edge.
- the other three edges of the rib are integral either with the bin 2 (for the first edge 6a), or with the collar 5 (for the second and fourth edges 6b and 6d).

- each rib 9 possesses an outline constituted by four edges, namely a first edge 9a that is integral with the vertical portion 12 of the bottom wall of the bin, a parallel second edge 9b opposite to the first edge 9a, a third edge 9d connecting together the bottom ends 15 and 16 of the first and second edges, and a fourth edge 9d connecting together the top ends of the first and second edges.
- the second edge 9b is free, i.e. it is not connected to any portion of the bin.
- the third edge 9c is also free, in accordance with the invention.
- the fourth edge 9d is integral with the bottom wall of the bin 2 in its horizontal portion 11.
- the ribs 6 and 9 possess respectively third edges 6c and 9c that are free, which edges are curved and of lengths longer than the distances between their two ends.
- the length of the third edge is more than 10% longer than the distance between the ends that it interconnects.
- the curve followed by the third edge 6c of the rib 6 has a wound-up shape that gives said third edge 6c resilience that results from the fact that this edge can "unwind” in the event of high strain being exerted on the rib 6, without excessive levels of stress becoming concentrated at any particular point of the third edge of said rib.
- the third edge 9c of the ribs 9 presents an S-shape that also gives it resilience because this edge is capable of "unwinding" in the event of high traction being exerted on the rib, without excessive levels of stress appearing at any particular point thereof.
- This particular shape combines two concave portions: a top portion 61'c of small radius of curvature, and a bottom portion 62'c of large radius of curvature, these two portions 61'c and 62'c being united by a convex portion 63'c of intermediate radius of curvature.
- the free third edge 6'c of the rib 6' is curved and presents no angular points. It is capable of "unwinding" in the event of high traction.
- the collar includes other reinforcing ribs 17, but these reinforcing ribs do not directly connect the collar 5 to the wall of the bin 2. Therefore they are not covered by the definition of ribs of the invention.
- a corner rib 18 presents a third edge 18c that is free and curved, without any angular points. This rib 18 is not covered by the definition of the invention.

Description
- The invention relates to a waste collection container of the type including wheels and/or a collar for gripping.
- In particular from
Document FR 2 768 707 - The collar serves to stiffen the bin and to enable the bin to be gripped when it is full of waste in order to be picked up and emptied out into a collection skip. Given the material from which the bin is made, ribs are essential for reinforcing the collar and for enabling it to withstand the high levels of stress to which it is subjected, in particular while the bin is being emptied out.
- Document
EP 0726 172 also discloses a container for collecting waste and comprising a bin provided with wheels enabling it to be moved over the ground. The wheels are carried by an axle that is mounted on bearings, which bearings are constituted by ribs molded integrally with the bin. Those ribs are formed in a setback in the wall constituting the bottom of the bin and enabling the axle carrying the wheels to be received therein. - Document
EP 1 702 867 discloses a waste-collection container according the preamble of claim 1. - In the first two of those examples of the state of the art, the ribs are defined by at least two substantially parallel rectilinear edges, one of which is secured to the wall of the bin, and by a third edge that is free, i.e. it does not touch any of the walls of the bin. In said examples of the state of the art, that third edge is rectilinear. In
EP 1 702 867 , some of the ribs are U-shaped or L-shaped, and they are interrupted transversally by one or more additional ribs parallel to the wall of the waste-collection container. - When bins are inspected for maintenance purposes, it is frequently found that these ribs are cracked or broken. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to replace the entire container, since the ribs are molded integrally with the bin and they cannot be replaced separately.
- The present invention seeks to propose a solution to the problem of the ribs of containers cracking or breaking.
- To this end, the present invention provides a waste-collection container according to claim 1.
- By means of the invention, stress concentrations are reduced in the free third edge of the rib, and the rib is given the capacity to deform a little, thereby enabling the rib to provide high resistance to the stresses to which it is subjected.
- In a first embodiment invention, the third edge presents a length that is at least 10% longer than the distance between the two ends it interconnects.
- According to the invention the rib is in the form of a trapezoid with a first long side integral with the bin, a second long side parallel to the first but shorter than the first long side, a free third side, and a fourth side substantially perpendicular to the first and second sides.
- In order to make the invention easier to understand, there follows a description of embodiments given as nonlimiting examples with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is an elevation view of a bin of a waste-collection container of the invention; -
Figure 2 is a fragmentary view from beneath of the collar of theFigure 1 container; -
Figure 3 is a section view on III-III of one of the ribs ofFigure 2 ; -
Figure 4 is a close-up view of two ribs forming a bearing of the container ofFigure 1 ; and -
Figure 5 is a view from beneath of the collar of a variant of theFigure 1 container. - The container 1 shown in
Figure 1 comprises abin 2 having a top opening for receiving waste. This opening is covered by alid 3 that is mounted on hinges 4. - In known manner, the opening for receiving waste in the container is surrounded by a
peripheral collar 5 that can be seen inFigure 2 . - The collar is reinforced by
ribs 6 molded integrally with thebin 2, only two of which being visible inFigure 2 . The function of theseribs 6 is to reinforce thecollar 5 so as to enable it to withstand the bin being lifted by means of a gripper that engages under the collar. This operation is performed when the bin is emptied into a waste-collection truck. - The bin of
Figure 5 also includes twowheels 7 that are mounted on anaxle 8, which axle is carried by twobearings 9. Each of the bearings is constituted by a vertical rib molded integrally with thebin 2. - It can be seen more clearly in
Figure 4 how theribs 9 form the bearings for theaxle 8. - In known manner, the wall constituting the bottom of the
bin 2 presents asetback 10 that serves to receive theaxle 8 carrying thewheels 7. - As can be seen in
Figure 3 , eachrib 6 is integral both with the side wall of thebin 2 and with thecollar 5. Thus, therib 6 is defined by an outline formed by four edges, namely a verticalfirst edge 6a that is connected to thebin 2, i.e. that is integral therewith, an oppositesecond edge 6b that is parallel to thefirst edge 6a, but shorter than saidfirst edge 6a, a free third edge 6c that connects thebottom end 13 of thefirst edge 6a to thebottom end 14 of thesecond edge 6b, and afourth edge 6d that is substantially perpendicular to the first andsecond edges - In the example shown, the
collar 5 presents a setback 5a, such that thesecond edge 6b also presents a setback and is subdivided into two portions. This specific feature of the example shown changes nothing to the definition of the second edge, which is parallel with and opposite to the first edge. - It can be seen that with the exception of the third edge 6c, which is free, the other three edges of the rib are integral either with the bin 2 (for the
first edge 6a), or with the collar 5 (for the second andfourth edges - In the same manner, and as can be seen in
Figure 4 , theribs 9 are integral with the wall constituting the bottom of thebin 2 over the full height of thesetback 10, such that they are connected both to the substantiallyhorizontal portion 11 and to the substantiallyvertical portion 12 of said bottom wall. - Thus, each
rib 9 possesses an outline constituted by four edges, namely afirst edge 9a that is integral with thevertical portion 12 of the bottom wall of the bin, a parallelsecond edge 9b opposite to thefirst edge 9a, a third edge 9d connecting together thebottom ends second edge 9b is free, i.e. it is not connected to any portion of the bin. Thethird edge 9c is also free, in accordance with the invention. The fourth edge 9d is integral with the bottom wall of thebin 2 in itshorizontal portion 11. - It can clearly be seen, both in
Figure 3 and inFigure 4 , that theribs third edges 6c and 9c that are free, which edges are curved and of lengths longer than the distances between their two ends. - Furthermore, these
third edges 6c and 9c do not possess any angular points. - The length of the third edge is more than 10% longer than the distance between the ends that it interconnects.
- The curve followed by the third edge 6c of the
rib 6 has a wound-up shape that gives said third edge 6c resilience that results from the fact that this edge can "unwind" in the event of high strain being exerted on therib 6, without excessive levels of stress becoming concentrated at any particular point of the third edge of said rib. - The
third edge 9c of theribs 9 presents an S-shape that also gives it resilience because this edge is capable of "unwinding" in the event of high traction being exerted on the rib, without excessive levels of stress appearing at any particular point thereof. - In
Figure 5 , there can be seen another possible shape for the free third edge 6'c of the rib of the collar 6'. - This particular shape combines two concave portions: a top portion 61'c of small radius of curvature, and a bottom portion 62'c of large radius of curvature, these two portions 61'c and 62'c being united by a convex portion 63'c of intermediate radius of curvature. Once more, the free third edge 6'c of the rib 6' is curved and presents no angular points. It is capable of "unwinding" in the event of high traction.
- In the example of
Figure 5 , between the ribs 6', the collar includes other reinforcingribs 17, but these reinforcing ribs do not directly connect thecollar 5 to the wall of thebin 2. Therefore they are not covered by the definition of ribs of the invention. - In contrast, a
corner rib 18 presents a third edge 18c that is free and curved, without any angular points. Thisrib 18 is not covered by the definition of the invention. - It should naturally be understood that the embodiments described above do not have lmiting character and that they may receive modifications without going beyond the scope defined by the claims.
