Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine technique des bacs de collecte de déchets comprenant un couvercle monté pivotant sur une cuve du bac.The present invention relates to the technical field of waste collection bins comprising a cover pivotally mounted on a vat tank.

On connaît par exemple le couvercle de bac de collecte de déchets conforme au préambule de la revendication 1, et décrit par le document US 5 195 648 .For example, the waste collection container lid according to the preamble of claim 1 and described by document US 5,195,648 .

Les différents éléments de tels bacs sont typiquement moulés sous pression à partir de matériaux thermoplastiques d'origines très diverses (polymères d'origine pétrolière, composants végétaux, matériaux recyclés etc...). Ils sont le plus souvent colorés, par adjonction de composés adéquats. Ces matériaux divers génèrent des variations dimensionnelles relativement importantes dans les éléments moulés.The various elements of such bins are typically molded under pressure from thermoplastic materials of very different origins (polymers of petroleum origin, plant components, recycled materials, etc.). They are most often colored by the addition of suitable compounds. These various materials generate relatively large dimensional variations in the molded elements.

Il en résulte souvent une adaptation médiocre des éléments entre eux.This often results in a poor adaptation of the elements to each other.

En particulier, le couvercle est typiquement monté pivotant sur la cuve au moyens d'au moins deux bras et une articulation pivotante. L'espacement des deux bras du couvercle peut se révéler notablement différent de la dimension du support solidaire de la cuve sur lequel ces deux bras doivent venir s'articuler.In particular, the lid is typically pivotally mounted on the tank by means of at least two arms and a pivoting joint. The spacing of the two arms of the cover can be significantly different from the size of the support integral with the vessel on which these two arms must articulate.

Dans un tel cas, le montage du couvercle requiert de tordre les bras de façon à pouvoir réaliser l'articulation.In such a case, the mounting of the cover requires twisting the arms so as to achieve the joint.

Mais par ailleurs, les bras du couvercle doivent avoir une rigidité suffisante pour que le couvercle reste stable transversalement, de façon à obturer convenablement la cuve en position fermée, et à procurer à l'utilisateur une sensation de qualité de construction du bac.However, on the other hand, the arms of the lid must have sufficient rigidity for the lid to remain stable transversely, so as to properly close the tank in the closed position, and to provide the user with a feeling of quality of construction of the tray.

Les bras du couvercle sont donc conçus de façon rigide, et ont souvent une coupe transversale en forme de U à base plate, rendant leur déformation latérale très difficile (parallèlement à la base plate).The lid arms are therefore rigidly designed, and often have a U-shaped cross-section with a flat base, making their lateral deformation very difficult (parallel to the flat base).

Lorsque la dimension du support d'articulation, formé à l'extérieur de la cuve solidairement à cette cuve, se trouve très différente de l'espacement des bras du fait des variations dimensionnelles de moulage, le montage de l'articulation requiert des efforts très importants pour tordre les bras et rattraper le jeu, ou permettre le montage. Ceci peut entraîner un voilage du bras, ou sa rupture, ou bien un fluage avec fragilisation du bras ou de l'articulation, ou une grande difficulté de montage, voire l'impossibilité de ce montage.When the dimension of the articulation support, formed outside the tank integrally with this tank, is very different from the spacing of the arms due to the dimensional variations of the molding, the assembly of the joint requires very great efforts. important to twist the arms and catch the game, or allow editing. This can cause a veiling of the arm, or breakage, or creep with weakening of the arm or joint, or a great difficulty of mounting, or the impossibility of this assembly.

Il y a donc une grande difficulté à assurer une certaine flexibilité de montage pivotant des bras, pour s'adapter aux variations dimensionnelles, tout en conservant une rigidité transversale lors du pivotement du couvercle.There is therefore a great difficulty in ensuring a certain flexibility of pivoting mounting arms, to adapt to dimensional variations, while maintaining transverse rigidity when pivoting the cover.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un couvercle de bac de collecte assurant une flexibilité de montage, tout en conservant, de préférence, une rigidité transversale notable après montage.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a collecting tray cover which assures a mounting flexibility, while retaining, preferably, a substantial transverse rigidity after assembly.

A cet effet, l'invention a notamment pour objet un couvercle de bac de collecte de déchets destiné à être monté pivotant sur une cuve du bac autour d'un axe de pivotement, comprenant au moins un premier bras de pivotement s'étendant au-delà d'une surface du couvercle obturant la cuve, ce bras comprenant :

  • un premier flanc formant un angle supérieur à 65°avec ledit axe de pivotement, et comprenant un premier orifice traversant formé dans ce premier flanc, ce premier orifice étant conformé pour recevoir un organe de montage à pivotement du couvercle sur la cuve,
  • un second flanc formant un angle supérieur à 65° et de préférence égal à 90° avec ledit axe de pivotement, comprenant un second orifice traversant formé dans ce second flanc, disposé en vis-à-vis du premier orifice dans la direction de l'axe de pivotement et conformé pour recevoir ledit organe de montage,
  • une paroi de renfort du bras du couvercle, radialement solidaire du premier flanc par rapport à l'axe de pivotement, sur au moins un premier secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture α au moins égal à 60°, cette paroi de renfort s'étendant vers le second flanc parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement en s'enroulant partiellement autour de cet axe, cette paroi de renfort ayant une dimension axiale d'au moins 10 mm sur la plus grande partie au moins de ce premier secteur angulaire, et de préférence sur sa totalité,
caractérisé en ce que le second flanc est radialement désolidarisé de ladite paroi de renfort ainsi que du premier flanc sur un second secteur angulaire par rapport à l'axe de pivotement d'angle d'ouverture β au moins égal à 200 °, ce second secteur angulaire comprenant le premier secteur angulaire.For this purpose, the subject of the invention is in particular a lid of a collection container for waste intended to be pivotally mounted on a tank of the tank about a pivot axis, comprising at least a first pivot arm extending beyond a surface of the lid closing the tank, the arm comprising:
  • a first side forming an angle greater than 65 ° with said pivot axis, and comprising a first through-hole formed in said first sidewall, said first opening being shaped to receive a pivotally mounting member of the cover on the bowl,
  • a second flank forming an angle greater than 65 ° and preferably equal to 90 ° with said pivot axis, comprising a second through-orifice formed in said second flank, disposed opposite the first orifice in the direction of the pivot axis and shaped to receive said mounting member,
  • a reinforcement wall of the cover arm, radially secured to the first sidewall with respect to the pivot axis, on at least a first angular sector of opening angle α at least equal to 60 °, this reinforcing wall being extending towards the second flank parallel to the pivot axis by partially winding around this axis, this reinforcing wall having an axial dimension of at least 10 mm over at least the greater part of this first angular sector, and preferably on the whole,
characterized in that the second flank is radially disengaged from said reinforcement wall and the first flank on a second angular sector relative to the pivot axis of opening angle β at least equal to 200 °, this second sector angular including the first angular sector.

La désolidarisation du second flanc avec la paroi de renfort sur un premier secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture important permet d'augmenter la flexibilité radiale de l'extrémité du bras du couvercle, permettant ainsi son montage de façon aisée sur une poignée de la cuve du bac. Le maintien d'un premier flanc avec une surface de renfort s'étendant sur ce premier secteur angulaire parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement permet de ne pas réduire plus que nécessaire cette flexibilité axiale, évitant un débattement radial notable du couvercle, et permet d'augmenter la résistance à l'arrachement du bras du couvercle.The separation of the second sidewall with the reinforcing wall on a first angular sector of large opening angle makes it possible to increase the radial flexibility of the end of the arm of the cover, thus enabling it to be mounted easily on a handle of the tank of the tank. Maintaining a first sidewall with a reinforcing surface extending over this first angular sector parallel to the pivot axis makes it possible not to reduce this axial flexibility more than necessary, avoiding a significant radial deflection of the cover, and makes it possible to increase the tear resistance of the lid arm.

De préférence, le second flanc est radialement désolidarisé de toute autre paroi du couvercle s'étendant axialement sur une longueur d'au moins 7 mm parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement sur au moins une partie du second secteur angulaire.Preferably, the second sidewall is radially detached from any other wall of the cover extending axially over a length of at least 7 mm parallel to the axis of pivoting on at least a portion of the second angular sector.

De plus, le second flanc est avantageusement désolidarisé radialement de toute autre paroi du couvercle s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement et se trouvant à moins de 10 mm du second orifice traversant.In addition, the second sidewall is advantageously radially detached from any other wall of the cover extending parallel to the pivot axis and being less than 10 mm from the second through hole.

Typiquement, le premier flanc , le second flanc, et la paroi de renfort forment, en section dans un plan axial, un U à base plate dans le premier secteur angulaire, les sections des premier et second flancs correspondant à deux branches de la forme en U, formant éventuellement entre elles un angle d'au plus 30°, cette forme en U étant interrompue du fait que le couvercle comprend une fente entre le second flanc et la paroi de renfort dans ce premier secteur angulaire.Typically, the first sidewall, the second sidewall and the reinforcing wall form, in section in an axial plane, a flat-base U in the first angular sector, the sections of the first and second sidewalls corresponding to two branches of the U, possibly forming between them an angle of at most 30 °, this U-shaped being interrupted because the cover comprises a slot between the second sidewall and the reinforcing wall in this first angular sector.

La rupture de la forme en U, par une fente sur l'un des flancs permet d'obtenir une flexibilité notable dans la direction axiale, cette flexibilité étant très réduite pour un U non interrompu.The rupture of the U-shape, by a slit on one of the flanks makes it possible to obtain a noticeable flexibility in the axial direction, this flexibility being very reduced for an uninterrupted U.

De préférence, la paroi de renfort s'enroule autour de l'axe sur un troisième secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture γ supérieur à 40° et de préférence compris entre 60° et 140 °. Cet enroulement de la paroi de renfort augmente la résistance à l'arrachement du bras.Preferably, the reinforcing wall wraps around the axis on a third angular sector of opening angle γ greater than 40 ° and preferably between 60 ° and 140 °. This winding of the reinforcing wall increases the resistance to tearing of the arm.

Typiquement, le second flanc présente dans le troisième secteur angulaire un contour globalement circulaire, séparé de la paroi de renfort par une fente s'étendant le long d'un arc de cercle.Typically, the second flank has in the third angular sector a generally circular contour, separated from the reinforcing wall by a slot extending along an arc.

De préférence, la fente entre le second flanc et la paroi de renfort dans le premier secteur angulaire s'étend sur une hauteur radiale d'au moins 1,8 mm, et de préférence comprise entre 2 et 5 mm. Ceci permet de faciliter le moulage, et la durabilité de l'outil de moulage, par rapport à la mise en oeuvre d'une fente trop fine.Preferably, the slot between the second sidewall and the reinforcing wall in the first angular sector extends over a radial height of at least 1.8 mm, and preferably between 2 and 5 mm. This facilitates the molding, and the durability of the molding tool, compared to the implementation of a slot too thin.

En général, le couvercle comprend un second bras de pivotement s'étendant au-delà d'une surface du couvercle obturant la cuve, pour son montage pivotant sur une poignée solidaire de la cuve destinée à être disposée entre le premier bras et le second bras, le long de l'axe de pivotement, et le premier flanc est disposé relativement à l'extérieur, par rapport au second bras, le second flanc étant disposé relativement à l'intérieur, par rapport au second bras. Ainsi, le flanc le moins rigide (second flanc) est disposé en appui sur la poignée, et non sur une partie externe de l'articulation.In general, the cover comprises a second pivoting arm extending beyond a surface of the lid closing the tank, for its pivotal mounting on a handle integral with the tank intended to be arranged between the first arm and the second arm along the pivot axis, and the first sidewall is disposed relatively outside, relative to the second arm, the second sidewall being disposed relatively inwardly, relative to the second arm. Thus, the less rigid flank (second flank) is disposed in support on the handle, and not on an outer portion of the joint.

De façon très avantageuse, l'un des premier et second orifices a un plus grand diamètre que l'autre orifice. Ceci permet d'introduire un organe de montage pouvant venir en butée sur le flanc sur lequel est formé l'orifice de plus petit diamètre. Typiquement, l'orifice de plus grand diamètre est le premier orifice.Very advantageously, one of the first and second orifices has a larger diameter than the other orifice. This allows to introduce a mounting member which can abut on the side on which is formed the smaller diameter orifice. Typically, the larger diameter orifice is the first orifice.

En général, chacun des orifices traversants a un rayon d'au moins 1 mm.In general, each of the through orifices has a radius of at least 1 mm.

Typiquement, l'angle d'ouverture α du premier secteur angulaire est compris entre 80° et 160°, ce qui augmente la flexibilité radiale du bras.Typically, the opening angle α of the first angular sector is between 80 ° and 160 °, which increases the radial flexibility of the arm.

L'angle d'ouverture β du second secteur angulaire est avantageusement compris entre 220° et 320° ce qui augmente également la flexibilité radiale du bras.The opening angle β of the second angular sector is advantageously between 220 ° and 320 ° which also increases the radial flexibility of the arm.

L'invention concerne également un bac de collecte de déchets, de contenance de préférence supérieure à 100 litres, caractérisé en ce que ce bac comprend un couvercle tel que mentionné précédemment.The invention also relates to a waste collection bin, with a capacity of preferably greater than 100 liters, characterized in that this bin comprises a lid as mentioned above.

Ce bac comprend typiquement une cuve, un couvercle tel que mentionné précédemment, avec notamment un orifice (ou premier orifice) de diamètre supérieur à celui de l'autre orifice, et un organe de montage à pivotement du couvercle sur la cuve, caractérisé en ce que cet organe est un pivot comprenant un arbre de diamètre ajusté à l'orifice de plus petit diamètre et, sur cet arbre, un premier épaulement ayant une dimension radiale supérieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus grand diamètre, et un second épaulement ayant une dimension radiale supérieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus petit diamètre mais inférieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus grand diamètre.This tray typically comprises a tank, a lid as mentioned above, with in particular an orifice (or first orifice) of diameter greater than that of the other orifice, and a pivotally mounting member of the lid on the tank, characterized in that that this member is a pivot comprising a diameter shaft fitted to the smaller diameter orifice and, on this shaft, a first shoulder having a radial dimension greater than the diameter of the larger diameter orifice, and a second shoulder having a radial dimension greater than the diameter of the orifice of smaller diameter but smaller than the diameter of the orifice of larger diameter.

Ceci permet à l'organe de montage de venir en butée, grâce au second épaulement, sur le flanc comportant l'orifice de plus petit diamètre.This allows the mounting member to abut, through the second shoulder, on the sidewall having the smaller diameter orifice.

Avantageusement, la distance entre le premier et le second épaulement est déterminée pour que lorsque l'organe de montage est introduit dans les premier et second orifices, le premier épaulement vienne en butée sur le premier flanc, ou sur un épaulement aménagé sur ce premier flanc, et le second épaulement vienne en appui sur le second flanc, ou sur un épaulement aménagé sur ce second flanc.Advantageously, the distance between the first and the second shoulder is determined so that when the mounting member is introduced into the first and second orifices, the first shoulder comes into abutment on the first side, or on a shoulder arranged on this first side. , and the second shoulder comes to bear on the second side, or on a shoulder arranged on the second side.

Dans ces conditions, ceci permet à l'organe de montage de venir en butée sur chacun des deux flancs, ce qui augmente la rigidité axiale du bras après montage.Under these conditions, this allows the mounting member to abut on each of the two sides, which increases the axial rigidity of the arm after mounting.

The invention will be better understood on reading the appended figures, which are provided by way of examples in which:
  • The figure 1 represents a top view of a waste collection tank according to the invention, during assembly.
  • The figure 2 represents in perspective the end of an arm of a lid according to the invention.
  • The figure 3 represents an axial view of a portion of an arm of the lid of the figure 2 .
  • The figure 4 represents in section a hinge of the lid arm of the figure 2 mounted on a support connected to the tank of the tank.
  • The figure 5 represents in perspective the articulation of the figure 4 .

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 1, qui représente en vue de dessus un bac 2 de collecte de déchets, comprenant une cuve 4, visible par son rebord supérieur 6 et par une poignée 8, s'étendant à l'extérieur de la cuve 4, cette poignée 8 formant support, à chacune de ses extrémités, pour une articulation avec un bras pivotant 10 d'un couvercle 12 du bac 2. On a également représenté sur la figure 1 un organe de montage 14 de cette articulation.We now refer to the figure 1 , which represents in view from above a container 2 for collecting waste, comprising a tank 4, visible by its upper rim 6 and by a handle 8, extending outside the tank 4, this handle 8 forming a support, at each of its ends, for articulation with a pivoting arm 10 of a lid 12 of the tray 2. It is also shown on the figure 1 a mounting member 14 of this articulation.

La poignée 8 de la cuve comprend deux épaulements d'extrémités, chacune pour le montage en butée d'un bras pivotant 10 du couvercle. La distance D entre ces épaulements peut varier, les variations dimensionnelles étant dues, outre les tolérances de fabrication du moule dont est issue la cuve, à des matériaux de provenance différentes, et/ou à des composés additifs de coloration particulier.The handle 8 of the tank comprises two end shoulders, each for mounting in abutment of a pivoting arm 10 of the lid. The distance D between these shoulders may vary, the dimensional variations being due, in addition to the manufacturing tolerances of the mold from which the tank is derived, to materials of different origin, and / or particular additive coloring compounds.

De même, la distance correspondante entre les bras 10 du couvercle, pour le montage pivotant ce ces bras sur la poignée 8 peut varier de façon notable. Si cette distance se trouve éloignée de la valeur D, le montage requiert alors d'ajuster la distance d'extrémité des bras 10 à cette valeur D. Dans certains cas, l'écart dimensionnel est important, par exemple de 10 à 12 mm.Likewise, the corresponding distance between the arms 10 of the cover, for pivoting mounting these arms on the handle 8 can vary significantly. If this distance is far from the value D, the assembly then requires adjusting the end distance of the arms 10 to this value D. In some cases, the dimensional difference is large, for example from 10 to 12 mm.

Dans l'art antérieur, cet ajustement se fait en « tordant » au moins l'extrémité des bras 10, avec des risques de déformations non voulues, de voilage, de rupture, ou une grande difficulté pour l'opérateur de montage du bac, du fait de la rigidité de construction des bras du couvercle, afin d'éviter un débattement latéral de ce couvercle.In the prior art, this adjustment is done by "twisting" at least the end of the arms 10, with the risk of unwanted deformations, haze, breakage, or a great difficulty for the tray mounting operator, due to the rigidity of construction of the arms of the lid, to avoid a lateral movement of the cover.

Selon l'invention, les bras du couvercle ont une flexibilité de montage substantiellement améliorée, tout en conservant une rigidité transversale après montage, comme il sera exposé ci-après.According to the invention, the lid arms have a substantially improved mounting flexibility, while maintaining transverse stiffness after mounting, as will be discussed below.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 2, qui représente en perspective une extrémité d'un bras pivotant 10 du couvercle. La forme générale de la section de ce bras est en U à base plate, ce qui lui confère une grande rigidité transversale. Le terme forme en U inclut également, selon l'invention, les formes dans lesquelles les branches du U forment entre elles un angle d'au plus 30°.We now refer to the figure 2 , which represents in perspective an end of a pivoting arm 10 of the lid. The general shape of the section of this arm is U-shaped flat base, which gives it a high transverse rigidity. The term U-shape also includes, according to the invention, the shapes in which the branches of the U form between them an angle of at most 30 °.

A l'extrémité du bras, se trouve un premier flanc 16 comprenant un premier orifice 18, utilisé pour le montage pivotant du bras 10. Ce bras comprend également, à son extrémité, un second flanc 20 comprenant un second orifice traversant 22, lui aussi utilisé pour le montage pivotant du bras 10. Les deux flancs ne sont pas nécessairement parallèles, et peuvent former entre eux un angle d'au plus 30°, mais les premier et second orifices sont conformés pour recevoir l'organe de montage 14. Ces deux orifices circulaires sont donc en vis-à-vis et permettent l'introduction de l'organe de montage 14 selon l'axe de pivotement du couvercle, qui passe par les centres des cercles correspondant aux premier orifice 18 et second orifice 22.At the end of the arm, there is a first sidewall 16 comprising a first orifice 18, used for the pivoting mounting of the arm 10. This arm also comprises, at its end, a second sidewall 20 comprising a second through hole 22, also The two flanks are not necessarily parallel and can form an angle of not more than 30 ° between them, but the first and second holes are shaped to receive the mounting member 14. These two circular orifices are therefore facing each other and allow the insertion of the mounting member 14 along the axis of pivoting of the cover, which passes through the centers of the circles corresponding to the first orifice 18 and the second orifice 22.

Les premier et second flancs s'étendent en formant, en section transversale, les deux branches du U, le base plate du U étant formé par une paroi de renfort 24 du bras du couvercle, radialement solidaire du premier flanc 16 et s'étendant vers le second flanc 20 parallèlement à l'axe de pivotement en s'enroulant partiellement autour de cet axe.The first and second flanks extend forming, in cross section, the two branches of the U, the flat base of the U being formed by a reinforcing wall 24 of the lid arm, radially integral with the first flank 16 and extending towards the second flank 20 parallel to the pivot axis by winding partially around this axis.

Le second flanc 20 est désolidarisé de la paroi de renfort 24 sur un large secteur angulaire, du fait de l'existence d'une fente circonférentielle 26 de 2 mm de large.The second flank 20 is separated from the reinforcing wall 24 over a wide angular sector, because of the existence of a circumferential slot 26 of 2 mm wide.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 3, qui représente une partie du second flanc 20, en vue axiale par rapport à l'axe de pivotement, passant par le point O et perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 3.We now refer to the figure 3 , which represents a portion of the second flank 20, in axial view with respect to the pivot axis, passing through the point O and perpendicular to the plane of the figure 3 .

On peut également constater sur cette figure que le second flanc 20 est désolidarisé de la paroi de renfort 24, sur un secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture α, du fait de la fente circonférentielle 26.It can also be seen in this figure that the second flank 20 is disengaged from the reinforcing wall 24, over an angular sector of opening angle α, due to the circumferential slot 26.

Le second flanc 20 est en outre radialement désolidarisé (non solidaire) à la fois du premier flanc 16 et de la paroi de renfort 24 sur un très large secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture β, qui recouvre le premier secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture α. La flexibilité axiale du second flanc est donc fortement augmentée.The second flank 20 is furthermore radially disengaged (not secured) from both the first flank 16 and the reinforcing wall 24 over a very large angular sector of opening angle β, which covers the first angular sector of angle opening α. The axial flexibility of the second sidewall is therefore greatly increased.

On voit également sur la figure 3 que la paroi de renfort 24 s'enroule circonférentiellement autour de l'axe de pivotement du couvercle, tout comme la fente 26, sur un troisième secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture γ, compris dans le premier secteur angulaire. Toutefois, le caractère circonférentiel de l'enroulement n'est pas obligatoire, et la distance à l'axe de la paroi de renfort 24, comme celle de la fente 26 peut évoluer.We also see on the figure 3 that the reinforcing wall 24 wraps circumferentially around the pivot axis of the cover, just like the slot 26, on a third angular sector of opening angle γ, included in the first angular sector. However, the circumferential nature of the winding is not mandatory, and the distance to the axis of the reinforcing wall 24, like that of the slot 26 can change.

Le premier flanc 16 du bras 10 conserve une certaine rigidité dans la direction axiale du fait qu'il est solidaire de la paroi de renfort 24, cette paroi conférant en outre à l'articulation une résistance accrue à l'arrachement. Mais la rigidité de ce premier flanc 16 dans la direction axiale est cependant notablement réduite par rapport à la conception selon l'art antérieur dans laquelle la fente 26 n'existait pas. Dans cette conception antérieure, la forme en U formée par le premier flanc 16, le second flanc 20, et la paroi de renfort 24 joignant ces deux flancs (sans fente de désaccouplement 26 avec le second flanc) prolongeait à l'extrémité du bras 10 la forme en U très rigide du bras, sur un large secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture α. La déformation axiale de l'extrémité du bras était donc très difficile et requérait des efforts importants, avec des risques de déformations non voulues, de fragilisation du bras, ou même de rupture de ce bras.The first flank 16 of the arm 10 retains a certain rigidity in the axial direction because it is integral with the reinforcing wall 24, this wall also providing the joint with increased resistance to tearing. But the rigidity of this first flank 16 in the axial direction is however significantly reduced compared to the design according to the prior art in which the slot 26 did not exist. In this prior design, the U-shape formed by the first flank 16, the second flank 20, and the reinforcing wall 24 joining these two flanks (without uncoupling slot 26 with the second flank) extended at the end of the arm 10 the very rigid U shape of the arm, over a wide angular sector of opening angle α. The axial deformation of the end of the arm was therefore very difficult and required significant effort, with the risk of unwanted deformations, embrittlement of the arm, or even rupture of the arm.

La fente 26 entre le second flanc et la paroi de renfort 24 augmente donc notablement la flexibilité axiale du premier flanc, fortement la flexibilité axiale du second flanc, et globalement augmente donc notablement la flexibilité axiale du bras 10 à son extrémité.The slot 26 between the second sidewall and the reinforcing wall 24 thus significantly increases the axial flexibility of the first sidewall, strongly the axial flexibility of the second sidewall, and therefore substantially increases the axial flexibility of the arm 10 at its end.

La dimension axiale de la paroi de renfort 24 est typiquement d'au moins 10 mm sur ce premier secteur angulaire, et généralement comprise entre 15 mm et 35 mm.The axial dimension of the reinforcing wall 24 is typically at least 10 mm on this first angular sector, and generally between 15 mm and 35 mm.

L'angle α est typiquement supérieur à 60° et de préférence compris entre 80° et 160°.The angle α is typically greater than 60 ° and preferably between 80 ° and 160 °.

L'angle β est typiquement supérieur à 200° et de préférence compris entre 220° et 320°.The angle β is typically greater than 200 ° and preferably between 220 ° and 320 °.

L'angle γ est typiquement supérieur à 40° et de préférence compris entre 60° et 140°.The angle γ is typically greater than 40 ° and preferably between 60 ° and 140 °.

Le troisième secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture γ est compris dans le premier secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture α, lui-même compris dans le second secteur angulaire d'angle d'ouverture β.The third angular sector of opening angle γ is included in the first angular sector of opening angle α, itself included in the second angular sector of opening angle β.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 4, qui représente en coupe dans un plan axial une extrémité d'un bras 10 du couvercle, monté pivotant sur une extrémité d'une poignée 28 solidaire de la cuve du bac.We now refer to the figure 4 , which represents in section in an axial plane an end of an arm 10 of the lid, pivotally mounted on one end of a handle 28 integral with the tank of the tray.

L'organe de montage 14 a été introduit selon l'axe de pivotement dans le premier orifice du premier flanc 16, puis dans le second orifice du second flanc 20, puis ancré dans un fourreau de la poignée 28 grâce à des dents 30. L'organe de montage 14 est donc solidaire de la poignée 28, et constitue un pivot pour l'articulation du couvercle sur la poignée 28.The mounting member 14 has been inserted along the axis of pivoting into the first orifice of the first sidewall 16, then into the second orifice of the second sidewall 20, and then anchored in a sleeve of the handle 28 by means of teeth 30. The mounting member 14 is thus integral with the handle 28, and constitutes a pivot for the articulation of the cover on the handle 28.

Cet organe de montage 14 comprend un arbre, un premier épaulement 32 d'extrémité, qui vient en butée sur une partie extérieure 34 du bras 10, solidaire du premier flanc 16. Ce premier épaulement a une dimension radiale supérieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus grand diamètre, qui est le premier orifice, formé sur le premier flanc16.This mounting member 14 comprises a shaft, a first end shoulder 32, which abuts on an outer portion 34 of the arm 10, integral with the first sidewall 16. This first shoulder has a radial dimension greater than the diameter of the orifice larger diameter, which is the first orifice, formed on the first flank.

L' organe de montage 14 comprend également un second épaulement 36 ayant une dimension radiale supérieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus petit diamètre (c'est-à-dire le second orifice formé sur le second flanc 20), mais inférieure au diamètre de l'orifice de plus grand diamètre (premier orifice formé sur le premier flanc 16). Ce second épaulement 36 vient en butée sur le second flanc 20.The mounting member 14 also includes a second shoulder 36 having a radial dimension greater than the diameter of the smaller diameter orifice (i.e. the second orifice formed on the second sidewall 20), but smaller than the diameter of the larger diameter orifice (first orifice formed on the first sidewall 16). This second shoulder 36 abuts on the second flank 20.

Ainsi, le bras du couvercle est en butée avec l'organe de montage 14 à la fois au niveau du premier épaulement 32 et au niveau du second épaulement 36.Thus, the lid arm is in abutment with the mounting member 14 both at the level of the first shoulder 32 and at the second shoulder 36.

Après montage et serrage de l'articulation, le second flanc 20, poussé par le second épaulement 36, vient en butée sur un épaulement 38 sur l'extrémité de la poignée 28. Ceci conduit à l'obtention d'un maintien satisfaisant de l'axe de pivotement du bras pivotant, c'est à dire à une rigidité axiale importante du couvercle, le pivotement du couvercle s'opérant pour chaque partie de ce couvercle dans un plan radial déterminé, sans « flottement axial », c'est-à-dire sans possibilité de débattement axial notable.After assembly and tightening of the joint, the second side 20, pushed by the second shoulder 36, abuts on a shoulder 38 on the end of the handle 28. This leads to obtaining a satisfactory maintenance of the pivot axis of the pivoting arm, that is to say, a significant axial rigidity of the lid, the pivoting of the lid being effected for each part of this lid in a given radial plane, without "axial floating", that is, that is, without the possibility of significant axial deflection.

Ainsi, il est possible d'obtenir simultanément une flexibilité radiale du bras importante au cours du montage, et faible après montage, permettant un meilleur ajustement du couvercle sur la cuve, et procurant à l'utilisateur une sensation de qualité mécanique du bac.Thus, it is possible to simultaneously obtain a radial flexibility of the large arm during assembly, and low after mounting, allowing a better adjustment of the lid on the tank, and providing the user with a feeling of mechanical quality of the tray.

On se réfère maintenant à la figure 5, qui représente en perspective l'articulation de la figure 4. Outre les éléments déjà décrits, la figure 5 représente également un bras 40 de la poignée, dont l'extrémité forme avantageusement l'épaulement 38 sur l'extrémité de la poignée 28.We now refer to the figure 5 , which represents in perspective the articulation of the figure 4 . In addition to the elements already described, figure 5 also represents an arm 40 of the handle, the end of which advantageously forms the shoulder 38 on the end of the handle 28.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation présentés et d'autres modes de réalisation apparaîtront clairement à l'homme du métier, sans pourtant sortir du cadre de l'invention défini par les revendications suivantes. Il est notamment possible d'utiliser des premier et second flanc inversés, le premier flanc étant alors désolidarisé d'une paroi de renfort solidaire du second flanc, le flanc le plus rigide étant alors le second flanc disposé côté poignée. On peut aussi utiliser des bacs de collecte à couvercle ayant plus que deux bras, par exemple à quatre bras et deux poignées, voire plus etc.The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented and other embodiments will become clear to the skilled person, without departing from the scope of the invention defined by the following claims. It is in particular possible to use inverted first and second flanks, the first flank then being detached from a reinforcing wall integral with the second flank, the stiffest flank then being the second flank disposed on the handle side. It is also possible to use collecting containers with a lid having more than two arms, for example with four arms and two handles, or more, and so on.
