Description

Die gegenwärtige Erfindung betrifft eine Abdeckung für einen Abfallbehälter, mit einer in der Abdeckung ausgebildeten Öffnung, durch die über mindestens eine der Öffnung zugeordnete Rutschfläche einer Rutsche Abfall in den Abfallbehälter überführbar ist, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Eine solche Abdeckung ist aus der Patentschrift US-A-4 782 970 bekannt.The present invention relates to a cover for a waste container, with an opening formed in the cover, through which at least one of the opening associated sliding surface of a slide waste into the waste container can be transferred, according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a cover is known from the patent US-A-4,782,970 known.

Üblicherweise wird in Großküchen, Kantinen und ähnlichen Einrichtungen des Gastronomie- bzw. Gaststättengewerbes ein Teller von groben Speiseresten mit der Hand oder einem Gummihandschuh, Schwamm, Servietten, Schabern oder Handbürsten einzeln vorgereinigt. Diese Vorreinigung ist unhygienisch, zeitaufwendig und zudem uneffektiv.Usually, in large kitchens, canteens and similar establishments in the catering trade, a plate of coarse food waste is individually pre-cleaned by hand or with a rubber glove, sponge, napkins, scrapers or hand brushes. This pre-cleaning is unhygienic, time consuming and also ineffective.

So beschreibt die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift DE 198 45 541 A1 einen Teller-Vorabräumer, der hygienisch einwandfrei, effektiv und zeitsparend zur Entfernung von Speiseresten von Tellern vor der Eingabe in die Spülmaschine benutzt werden kann. Dieser Teller-Vorabräumer zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er zum verbesserten Abstreifen von Resten auf Tellern unterschiedliche Bürstensysteme besitzt. Mittels dieser Konstruktion kann beidhändig, mit je einem Teller in jeder Hand, schneller, sauberer, hygienischer und effektiver gearbeitet werden, so dass auch das Personal selbst mit den Speiseresten nicht mehr in Berührung kommt. Der Teller-Vorabräumer selbst besteht aus einem spülmaschinenfesten Edelstahlhalter und dem Abräumer, der mittels eines Schnellverschlusses zum Reinigen schnell gelöst werden kann. Auch bei einer Lockerung des Schnellverschlusses wird ein Herausfallen des lösbaren Abräumers verhindert. Der Teller-Vorabräumer kann in verschiedenen Positionen an Arbeits-, Spül- und/oder Beschickungstischen oder an/über Abfallbehältern montiert werden.This is how the German patent application describes DE 198 45 541 A1 a Teller-Vorabräumer that can be used hygienically flawless, effective and time-saving for the removal of food residues from plates before entering the dishwasher. This plate Vorabräumer is characterized by the fact that it has different brush systems for improved stripping of residues on plates. By means of this design can be worked with two hands, each with a plate in each hand, faster, cleaner, more hygienic and effective, so that the staff even with the food remains no longer come into contact. The plate pre-cleaner itself consists of a dishwasher-safe stainless steel holder and the Abräumer, which can be quickly solved by means of a quick release for cleaning. Even with a relaxation of the quick release is falling out of the detachable Abräumers prevented. The plate pre-cleaner can be mounted in different positions on working, rinsing and / or loading tables or on / via waste containers.

In den Küchen des Gastronomie- bzw. Gaststättengewerbes bleibt bei Hochbetrieb während der Hauptessenszeiten oft keine Zeit für die erforderliche Aufmerksamkeit bei der Trennung der zu beseitigenden Speisereste von wiederverwendbarem Besteck und Speisezubereitungsutensilien. So kommt es beispielsweise vor, dass auf einem Teller unter einer Serviette liegendes Besteck unbeabsichtigt in den Abfallbehälter geworfen wird. Für die Inhaber oder Pächter eines Gaststättengewerbes ist dies ein enormer Kostenfaktor, da stets neues Besteck bzw. Speisezubereitungsutensilien nachgekauft werden müssen.In the kitchens of the hospitality industry, during peak hours during peak seasons, there is often no time for the required attention to be paid to the separation of the leftovers from reusable cutlery and food preparation utensils. So it happens, for example, that lying on a plate under a napkin cutlery accidentally thrown into the bin. For the owners or tenants of a catering trade, this is a huge cost factor, as always new cutlery or food preparation utensils must be purchased.

Daher sind auch Abdeckungen bzw. Deckel für Abfallbehälter bekannt, die eine einfache Beseitigung der Speisereste ermöglichen sowie zugleich ein unbeabsichtigtes Wegwerfen von Besteck unterbinden. Ein Beispiel für einen solchen Deckel für Abfallbehälter zeigt die internationale Patentanmeldung WO 03/018441 A1 . Ein Körper, der hier den Deckel bildet, hat eine Rutschanordnung ausgebildet, die zu einer Öffnung führt. Durch die Öffnung gelangt der Speiseabfall in den Abfallbehälter. Der Deckel ist auf dem Abfallbehälter befestigt. Wandungen der Rutschanordnung sind zudem mit einem Permanentmagneten versehen. Eine Klappe kann ebenfalls mit einem Permanentmagneten versehen sein, so dass unbeabsichtigt weggeworfenes Besteck entsprechend haften bleibt und nicht in den Abfall gelangt. Die Klappe ist am Körper schwenkbar gelagert, um somit die Öffnung zu blockieren, wenn kein Abfall in den Abfallbehälter eingebracht wird.Therefore, covers or lids for waste containers are known, which allow easy removal of food particles and at the same time prevent unintentional disposal of cutlery. An example of such a lid for waste containers shows the international patent application WO 03/018441 A1 , A body forming the lid here has formed a slide assembly leading to an opening. Through the opening of the food waste enters the waste container. The lid is attached to the waste container. Walls of the slide assembly are also provided with a permanent magnet. A flap may also be provided with a permanent magnet so that unintentionally discarded cutlery will adhere accordingly and will not get into the waste. The flap is pivotally mounted to the body so as to block the opening when no waste is introduced into the waste container.

Ein ähnlich ausgeführter Abfallbehälter-Deckel ist der U.S. amerikanischen Patentschrift US 6,129,213 A zu entnehmen. Der Abfallbehälter-Deckel hat in mindestens einem Abschnitt eine Öffnung in den Abfallbehälter hinein ausgebildet. Ferner besitzt der Abfallbehälter-Deckel eine Rutsche, über die die Speisereste in den Abfallbehälter gelangen. Mindestens ein Permanentmagnet ist der Rutsche zugeordnet, damit das unbeabsichtigt weggeworfene Besteck auch hier entsprechend haften bleibt und nicht in den Abfall gelangt. Der Abfallbehälter-Deckel trägt zudem eine Schaberklinge, die in der Nähe der Rutsche so ausgebildet ist, dass die Speisereste, die von den Platten und von dergleichen mit dem Abstreifer geschabt werden, durch die Rutsche und in den Abfallbehälter fallen.A similar executed waste container lid is the US patent US 6,129,213 A refer to. The waste container lid has formed in at least a portion of an opening into the waste container inside. Further, the waste container lid has a chute, through which the food particles get into the waste container. At least one permanent magnet is associated with the chute, so that the unintentionally discarded cutlery also sticks here and does not get into the waste. The waste container lid also carries a scraper blade which is formed in the vicinity of the chute so that the food particles scraped from the plates and the like with the scraper, through the chute and into the waste container fall.

Weitere Abdeckungen für einen Abfallbehälter sind aus WO-A-2005/042 382 und US-A-4 632 253 bekannt.Other covers for a waste container are off WO-A-2005/042 382 and U.S. Patent 4,632,253 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Abdeckung für einen Abfallbehälter zu schaffen, mit der ein unbeabsichtigtes Wegwerfen von allen metallischen Bestandteilen im Abfall verhindert wird.The invention has for its object to provide a cover for a waste container, with the unintentional disposal of all metallic components in the waste is prevented.

Die Aufgabe wird durch eine Abdeckung für einen Abfallbehälter gelöst, die die Merkmale im Anspruch 1 umfasst.The object is achieved by a cover for a waste container comprising the features in claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Abdeckung für einen Abfallbehälter ist einstückig mittels eines Spritzgießverfahrens aus einem Polymer hergestellt und hat einen umlaufenden Rand ausgeformt, mit dem die Abdeckung auf dem Abfallbehälter aufliegt. Mehrere Aufnahmen für Permanentmagnete sind unterhalb des Abschnitts der Rutschfläche der Rutsche mit dem Spritzgießverfahren einstückig mit der Abdeckung ausgeformt. Eine Aufnahme ist im Bereich der vorderen Kante der Rutschfläche mit dem Spritzgießverfahren einstückig mit der Abdeckung ausgeformt. In der Aufnahme sitz ein einziger Metalldetektor, um metallische Bestandteile im Abfall vor der Überführung des Abfalls in den Abfallbehälter zu detektieren. In einem Fach, das unterhalb der Oberfläche der Abdeckung ausgebildet ist, sitzt eine Elektronik und Steuerung für den einzigen Metalldetektor.The cover for a waste container according to the invention is made in one piece by means of an injection molding of a polymer and has formed a peripheral edge, with which the cover rests on the waste container. Several permanent magnet mounts are molded integrally with the cover below the portion of the chute slide surface by the injection molding process. A receptacle is formed integrally with the cover in the region of the front edge of the sliding surface by the injection molding process. A single metal detector is seated in the receptacle to detect metallic components in the waste prior to transfer of the waste to the waste container. In a compartment which is formed below the surface of the cover, sits electronics and control for the single metal detector.

Der Vorteil der Anordnung des Metalldetektors ist, dass metallische Bestandteile des Abfalls vor der Überführung des Abfalls in den Abfallbehälter detektierbar sind. Die Zuordnung des Metalldetektors zu der Abdeckung hat den Vorteil, dass sowohl metallisch magnetisierbare Bestandteile als auch metallisch nicht-magnetisierbare Bestandteile im Abfall feststellbar sind.The advantage of the arrangement of the metal detector is that metallic components of the waste are detectable prior to the transfer of the waste into the waste container. The assignment of the metal detector to the cover has the advantage that both metallically magnetizable components as well as non-magnetizable metallic components in the waste are detectable.

Es sei an dieser Stelle erwähnt, dass der Metalldetektor auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise mit der notwendigen Energie versorgt werden kann. Die Energieversorgung kann mit einer Batterie oder mit einem Akkumulator oder über einen herkömmlichen Netzanschluss erfolgen. Auf eine detaillierte Betriebsweise eines Metalldetektors wird hier nicht eingegangen, da diese für einen Fachmann hinlänglich bekannt ist.It should be mentioned at this point that the metal detector can be supplied with the necessary energy in different ways. The power supply can be done with a battery or with a rechargeable battery or via a conventional mains connection. On a detailed operation of a metal detector is not discussed here, as this is well known to a person skilled in the art.

Des Weiteren kann dem Metalldetektor ein Zähler zugeordnet sein, so dass detektierte metallische Bestandteile, die über die Abdeckung durch Unachtsamkeit in den Abfallbehälter überführt werden sollen, gezählt werden. Somit werden die detektierten metallischen Bestandteile erfasst und die Anzahl der Ereignisse (Erfassung eines metallischen Bestandteils) ist am Zähler ablesbar. Eine andere Möglichkeit ist, dass ein elektronisches Zählergerät über WLAN mit einem Computer die detektierten metallischen Bestandteile protokolliert.Furthermore, a counter can be assigned to the metal detector so that detected metallic components which are to be transferred via the cover by carelessness into the waste container are counted. Thus, the detected metallic components are detected and the number of events (detection of a metallic component) can be read on the counter. Another possibility is that an electronic counter device logs the detected metallic components via WLAN with a computer.

Ferner ist es von Vorteil, dass die Abdeckung mit passiven Fangmittel versehen werden kann.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the cover can be provided with passive catching means.

Die passiven Fangmittel sind Permanentmagnete, die in den mehreren ausgeformten Aufnahmen sitzen, damit magnetisierbare Bestandteile des Abfalls vor der Überführung des Abfalls in den Abfallbehälter an den Permanentmagneten haften.The passive catch means are permanent magnets which are seated in the plurality of molded receptacles to adhere magnetizable components of the waste to the permanent magnet prior to transfer of the waste into the waste container.

Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist gegenüber der Rutsche eine weitere Rutschfläche vorgesehen, die eine geringere Neigung besitzt, als die Rutschfläche der Rutsche. Eine vordere Kante der weiteren Rutschfläche ist derart angeordnet, dass bei Projektion in Z-Richtung die vordere Kante der Rutschfläche der Rutsche über einen Abstand von der vorderen Kante der weiteren Rutschfläche beabstandet ist, damit abzuräumender Abfall vor dessen Überführung in den Abfallbehälter auf die Rutschfläche der Rutsche fällt. Die Rutschfläche der Rutsche hat im Bereich der vorderen Kante der Rutschfläche eine geringere Steigung ausgebildet, als der Rest der Rutschfläche der Rutsche. Somit wird die Rutschgeschwindigkeit des Abfalls etwas verlangsamt und die Detektion der metallischen Bestanteile des Abfalls durch den Metalldetektor ist sichergestellt.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, a further sliding surface is provided opposite the chute, which has a lower inclination, than the sliding surface of the chute. A front edge of the further sliding surface is arranged such that when projected in the Z direction, the front edge of the sliding surface of the chute is spaced a distance from the front edge of the further sliding surface so that waste to be cleaned before its transfer into the waste container on the sliding surface of the Chute falls. The sliding surface of the chute has formed a smaller pitch in the region of the front edge of the sliding surface than the rest of the sliding surface of the chute. Thus, the slipping speed of the waste is somewhat slowed down and the detection of the metallic components of the waste by the metal detector is ensured.

Insbesondere findet die Abdeckung für einen Abfallbehälter für Abfall aus Speiseresten Verwendung, so dass metallische Besteckteile und/oder metallische Speisezubereitungsutensilien vor der Überführung des Abfalls in den Abfallbehälter detektierbar sind. Daher ist diese Erfindung gerade für Großküchen des Gastronomie- bzw. Gaststättengewerbes von Interesse, da es häufig vorkommt, dass Besteckteile unbeabsichtigt in den Abfallbehälter geworfen werden. Mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckung wird das Besteck durch den Metalldetektor detektiert und gegebenenfalls mit einem Permanentmagnet gefangen, so dass ein unbeabsichtigtes Wegwerfen von metallischen Besteckteilen und/oder metallischen Speisezubereitungsutensilien im Abfall verhindert ist.In particular, the cover for a waste bin for waste food waste is used so that metallic cutlery and / or metallic food preparation utensils are detectable prior to transfer of the waste to the waste bin. Therefore, this invention is just for commercial kitchens of catering or catering of interest, since it often happens that cutlery items are thrown into the waste container unintentionally. With the help of the cover according to the invention the cutlery is detected by the metal detector and optionally caught with a permanent magnet, so that accidental disposal of metallic cutlery and / or metallic food preparation utensils is prevented in the waste.

The illustrated embodiment is merely an example of how the cover according to the invention may be designed for a waste container and thus does not represent a final limitation of the invention.

Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Ansicht einer Ausführungsform einer Abdeckung 1 für einen Abfallbehälter 3, die nicht Teil der Erfindung ist. In der Abdeckung 1 ist eine Öffnung 5 ausgebildet, durch die über eine der Öffnung 5 zugeordnete Rutschfläche 9 einer Rutsche 7 der Abfall 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 überführbar ist. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform sind der Abdeckung 1 zwei Metalldetektoren 13a, 13b derart zugeordnet, dass metallische Bestandteile 15 des Abfalls 11 vor der Überführung des Abfalls 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 detektierbar sind. Mittels der Metalldetektoren 13a, 13b ist es möglich, sowohl metallisch magnetisierbare Bestandteile 15 als auch metallische nicht-magnetisierbare Bestandteile 15 im Abfall 11 zu detektieren. FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of an embodiment of a cover 1 for a waste container 3, which is not part of the invention. In the cover 1, an opening 5 is formed, through which one of the opening 5 associated sliding surface 9 a slide 7, the waste 11 can be converted into the waste container 3. In the present embodiment, the cover 1 is associated with two metal detectors 13a, 13b such that metallic components 15 of the waste 11 are detectable prior to the transfer of the waste 11 into the waste container 3. By means of the metal detectors 13a, 13b, it is possible to detect both metallically magnetizable components 15 and metallic non-magnetizable components 15 in the waste 11.

In der Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 1 ist ein Metalldetektor 13a unterhalb der Rutschfläche 9 angeordnet. Ein weiterer Metalldetektor 13b ist bei der Öffnung 5 in der Abdeckung 1 angeordnet. Der weitere Metalldetektor 13b kann die Öffnung 5 zumindest teilweise umschließen.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1 a metal detector 13 a is arranged below the sliding surface 9. Another metal detector 13b is disposed at the opening 5 in the cover 1. The further metal detector 13b may at least partially enclose the opening 5.

Es ist von Vorteil, wenn die Abdeckung 1 mit mindestens einem passiven Fangmittel, das mindestens einen Permanentmagneten 17 umfasst, versehen ist. Die Permanentmagneten 17 sind der Abdeckung 1 dabei derart zugeordnet, dass detektierte metallische Bestandteile 15 vor der Überführung des Abfalls 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 gefangen werden und somit nicht verloren gehen können. Ein metallischer Bestandteil 15 bleibt vor der Überführung des Abfalls 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 an dem Permanentmagneten 17 haften, vorausgesetzt der metallische Bestandteil 15 umfasst ein magnetisierbares Material. Zur sicheren Überführung des Abfalls 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 ist die Rutsche 7 derart angeordnet, dass die Rutschfläche 9 einen oberen Abschnitt 23 aufweist, der über eine Oberfläche 25 der Abdeckung 1 hinausragt. Ein unterer Abschnitt 24 der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 ragt in den Abfallbehälter hinein.It is advantageous if the cover 1 is provided with at least one passive catching means comprising at least one permanent magnet 17. The permanent magnets 17 are associated with the cover 1 in such a way that detected metallic components 15 are caught before the transfer of the waste 11 in the waste container 3 and thus can not be lost. A metallic component 15 remains adhered to the permanent magnet 17 prior to the transfer of the waste 11 into the waste container 3, provided the metallic component 15 comprises a magnetizable material. For safe transfer of the waste 11 in the waste container 3, the chute 7 is arranged such that the sliding surface 9 has an upper portion 23 which projects beyond a surface 25 of the cover 1. A lower portion 24 of the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 protrudes into the waste container.

Die Abdeckung 1 findet vor allem für einen Abfallbehälter 3 für Abfall 11 aus Speiseresten Verwendung, so dass metallische Besteckteile 15 und/oder metallische Speisezubereitungsutensilien vor der Überführung des Abfalls 11 in den Abfallbehälter 3 detektierbar sind. Somit ist ein unbeabsichtigtes Wegwerfen von magnetisierbaren Besteckteilen 15 und/oder metallische Speisezubereitungsutensilien verhindert, da ein Besteckteil 15 in der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform zuerst vom Metalldetektor 13a oder 13b detektiert und anschließend von Permanentmagneten 17, gefangen wird.The cover 1 is mainly used for a waste container 3 for waste 11 from leftovers, so that metallic cutlery 15 and / or metallic food preparation utensils before the transfer of the waste 11 in the waste container 3 detectable are. Thus, an unintentional throwing away of magnetizable cutlery pieces 15 and / or metallic food preparation utensils is prevented, since a piece of cutlery 15 in the embodiment shown here first by the metal detector 13 a or 13b detected and then by permanent magnets 17, is caught.

Figur 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Ansicht einer Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckung 1 für einen Abfallbehälter 3 (hier nicht dargestellt). Der Abfallbehälter 3 hat einen im Wesentlichen runden Querschnitt und besitzt einen Durchmesser 20. Für den Fall, dass der Abfallbehälter 3 einen größeren Durchmesser 28 besitzt, als die Abdeckung 1, ist ein Adapter 30 auf den Abfallbehälter 3 aufgesetzt und die Abdeckung 1 ist entsprechend auf dem Adapter 30 befestigt (siehe hierzu Figur 10). Bei der in Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist gegenüber der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 eine weitere Rutschfläche 32 ausgebildet, die auf die Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 hin geneigt ist. Die vordere Kante 34 der Rutsche 7 ist deutlich unterhalb der Oberfläche 25 der Abdeckung 1 vorgesehen. Durch die Anordnung der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 sowohl über- als auch unterhalb der Oberfläche 25 der Abdeckung 1 ist sichergestellt, dass der Abfall 11 für eine gewisse Zeit auf der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 verbleibt, so dass sicher die metallischen Bestandteile 15 des Abfalls 11 detektiert bzw. ausgesondert werden können. Die Abdeckung 1 hat einen umlaufenden Rand 22 ausgeformt, mit dem die Abdeckung 1 auf dem Abfallbehälter 3 bzw. auf den Adapter 30 für die Abdeckung 1 sitzt. Die Abdeckung 1 wird einstückig mittels eines Spritzgießverfahrens aus einen Polymer hergestellt. FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the cover 1 according to the invention for a waste container 3 (not shown here). The waste container 3 has a substantially circular cross-section and has a diameter 20. In the event that the waste container 3 has a larger diameter 28 than the cover 1, an adapter 30 is placed on the waste container 3 and the cover 1 is accordingly on attached to the adapter 30 (see FIG. 10). At the in FIG. 2 As shown embodiment, a further sliding surface 32 is formed opposite to the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7, which is inclined to the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7. The front edge 34 of the chute 7 is provided clearly below the surface 25 of the cover 1. The arrangement of the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 both above and below the surface 25 of the cover 1 ensures that the waste 11 remains on the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 for a certain time, so that certainly the metallic components 15 of the waste 11 can be detected or rejected. The cover 1 has a peripheral edge 22, with which the cover 1 sits on the waste container 3 or on the adapter 30 for the cover 1. The cover 1 is made in one piece by injection molding of a polymer.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Schnittdarstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckung 1. Gegenüber der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 ist eine weitere Rutschfläche 32 ausgebildet, die auf die Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 hin geneigt ist. Die weitere Rutschfläche 32 besitzt eine vordere Kante 35 die etwas unterhalb der Oberfläche 25 der Abdeckung 1 ausgebildet ist. Die Rutschfläche 32 besitzt eine geringere Neigung, als die Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7. Die Neigung der Rutschfläche 32 ist von Vorteil, da auch der Abfall 11 von dort sicher in den Abfallbehälter 3 überführt werden kann. Hierzu ist die vordere Kante 35 der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 derart angeordnet, dass von der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 abzuräumender Abfall 11 vor dessen Überführung in den Abfallbehälter 3 auf die Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 fällt. Bei Projektion in Z-Richtung ist die vordere Kante 35 der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 von der vorderen Kante 34 der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 über einen Abstand 29 voneinander beabstandet. Der Abstand 29 der vorderen Kante 35 der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 ist dabei derart bemessen, dass der von der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 abzuräumende Abfall 11 vor dessen Überführung in den Abfallbehälter 3 auf die Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 fällt. Bei der in Figur 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist im Bereich der vorderen Kante 34 der Rutschfläche 9 eine Aufnahme 36 ausgeformt, in der der einzige Metalldetektor 13 sitzt. Unterhalb der Oberfläche 25 der Abdeckung 1 ist ferner ein Fach 37 ausgebildet, in dem die Elektronik und Steuerung 40 für den Metalldetektor 13 untergebracht ist. Unterhalb des unteren Abschnitts 24 der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 sind mehrere Aufnahmen 38 für die Permanentmagnete 17 ausgeformt. FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the cover according to the invention 1. Opposite the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7, a further sliding surface 32 is formed, which is inclined to the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7. The further sliding surface 32 has a front edge 35 which is formed slightly below the surface 25 of the cover 1. The sliding surface 32 has a lower inclination than the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7. The inclination of the sliding surface 32 is advantageous since the waste 11 can be safely transferred from there into the waste container 3. For this purpose, the front edge 35 of the further sliding surface 32 is arranged such that waste 11 to be cleared of the further sliding surface 32 falls on the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 before it is transferred to the waste container 3. When projected in the Z direction, the front edge 35 of the further sliding surface 32 is spaced from the front edge 34 of the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 by a distance 29. The distance 29 of the front edge 35 of the further sliding surface 32 is dimensioned such that the waste 11 to be cleared of the further sliding surface 32 falls on the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 before it is transferred into the waste container 3. At the in figure 3 illustrated embodiment, a receptacle 36 is formed in the region of the front edge 34 of the sliding surface 9, in which the sole metal detector 13 is seated. Below the surface 25 of the cover 1, a compartment 37 is further formed, in which the electronics and control 40 is housed for the metal detector 13. Below the lower portion 24 of the sliding surface 9 of the chute 7 a plurality of receptacles 38 are formed for the permanent magnets 17.

Figur 4 zeigt die Bodenansicht der in Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Abdeckung 1 für den Abfallbehälter 3. Unterhalb des unteren Abschnitts 24 der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 sind die Aufnahmen 38 für die Permanentmagnete 19 ausgeformt. Ebenso ist im Bereich der vorderen Kante 35 der Rutschfläche 9 der Rutsche 7 die Aufnahme 36 für den Metalldetektor 13 ausgebildet. Auf der Unterseite der weiteren Rutschfläche 32 sind mehrere Stege 41 zur mechanischen Stabilisierung ausgeformt. Ebenso ist an der Unterseite 26 der Abdeckung 1 das Fach 37 für die Elektronik und Steuerung 40 ausgeformt. Das Fach 37 kann mit einer nicht dargestellten Abdeckung verschlossen werden, um somit einen Schutz vor Verschmutzung zu gewährleisten. Die Aufnahmen 38 für die Permanentmagnete 19, die Aufnahme 36 für den Metalldetektor 13, das Fach 40 und die Stege 41 werden bei der Herstellung der einstückigen Abdeckung 1 während des Spritzgießverfahrens ausgeformt. FIG. 4 shows the bottom view of in FIG. 2 Below the lower portion 24 of the sliding surface 9 of the slide 7, the receptacles 38 are formed for the permanent magnets 19. Likewise, in the region of the front edge 35 of the sliding surface 9 of the slide 7, the receptacle 36 for the metal detector 13 is formed. On the underside of the further sliding surface 32 a plurality of webs 41 are formed for mechanical stabilization. Likewise, on the underside 26 of the cover 1, the compartment 37 for the electronics and control 40 is formed. The compartment 37 can be closed with a cover, not shown, so as to ensure protection against contamination. The receptacles 38 for the permanent magnets 19, the receptacle 36 for the metal detector 13, the compartment 40 and the webs 41 are formed in the manufacture of the one-piece cover 1 during the injection molding process.
