Description

L'invention concerne un bac pour la collecte de déchets à vidage par retournement selon le préambule de la revendication 1, plus particulièrement un bac destiné à faciliter le tri sélectif.The invention relates to a container for the collection of waste with emptying by turning according to the preamble of claim 1, more particularly a container intended to facilitate selective sorting.

En général, pour permettre à un utilisateur de trier ses déchets, on dispose, à proximité, plusieurs bacs qui sont chacun destinés à accueillir un type de déchets. Ainsi, de façon connue en soi, on dispose, en un même emplacement, un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en verre, un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en plastique et un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en papier. Dans cette configuration, le nombre de bacs est relativement important.In general, to allow a user to sort his waste, several bins are available nearby, each of which is intended to accommodate a type of waste. Thus, in a manner known per se, there is, in the same location, a bin whose function is to collect waste mainly made of glass, a bin whose function is to collect waste mainly made of plastic and a bin whose function is to collect waste, mainly paper. In this configuration, the number of bins is relatively large.

Pour faciliter le tri sélectif, on utilise également des bacs pour la collecte de déchets qui comprennent une paroi de séparation qui délimite deux espaces distincts. Chaque espace est ainsi dédié à la collecte d'un type de déchets. Par exemple, l'un des espaces est dédié à la collecte du verre tandis que l'autre espace est destiné à recueillir du papier. Dans cette configuration, le nombre de bacs nécessaires pour permettre à l'utilisateur de trier ses déchets est plus réduit.To facilitate selective sorting, bins are also used for the collection of waste which include a dividing wall which delimits two distinct spaces. Each space is thus dedicated to the collection of one type of waste. For example, one of the spaces is dedicated to the collection of glass while the other space is intended to collect paper. In this configuration, the number of bins necessary to allow the user to sort his waste is reduced.

Cependant, ce type de bac présente des difficultés de maniement pour un opérateur qui doit vider le bac. En effet, comme un même bac comporte des déchets d'au moins deux types différents, simplement distingués par une paroi de séparation, ces déchets de type différent peuvent se mélanger lors du vidage du bac. Ces erreurs dans la collecte nuisent à l'efficacité du tri sélectif.However, this type of tray presents handling difficulties for an operator who has to empty the tray. Indeed, as the same bin includes waste of at least two different types, simply distinguished by a separating wall, these different types of waste can be mixed during the emptying of the bin. These errors in the collection harm the efficiency of selective sorting.

On connaît des documents EP 0 356 833 et US 5,035,563 des bacs de collecte de déchets à vidage par retournement selon le préambule de la revendication 1 ayant deux espaces distincts de stockage de déchets afin de recevoir des déchets de différents types dans les différents espaces.We know documents EP 0 356 833 And US 5,035,563 roll-over waste collection bins according to the preamble of claim 1 having two separate waste storage spaces to accommodate waste of different types in the different spaces.

Un but de l'invention est de fournir un bac qui facilite la collecte des déchets en vue de leur tri sélectif.An object of the invention is to provide a container which facilitates the collection of waste with a view to their selective sorting.

Pour ce faire, on prévoit selon l'invention, un bac pour la collecte de déchets à vidage par retournement, comprenant une cuve, une paroi de séparation délimitant un premier et un second espaces distincts de stockage de déchets dans la cuve et un couvercle qui comprend une première et une seconde parties aptes à occuper une position ouverte et une position fermée, agencées de manière à occuper la position ouverte lorsque le bac occupe une position de vidage et à ce que, dans cette position ouverte, elles définissent chacune une trajectoire distincte de sortie des déchets provenant respectivement des premier et second espaces distincts de stockage, caractérisé en ce que l'une parmi la première (28, 108) ou la seconde partie (30, 110) a une forme concave, et l'autre une forme plane.To do this, provision is made according to the invention for a container for the collection of waste with overturning, comprising a tank, a dividing wall delimiting a first and a second separate waste storage spaces in the tank and a lid which comprises a first and a second part capable of occupying an open position and a closed position, arranged in such a way as to occupy the open position when the container occupies an emptying position and so that, in this open position, they each define a distinct trajectory exit of the waste coming respectively from the first and second spaces separate storage compartments, characterized in that one of the first (28, 108) or the second part (30, 110) has a concave shape, and the other a planar shape.

De cette façon, on utilise le couvercle du bac pour limiter le risque de mélange entre des types de déchets différents lors de la collecte des déchets stockés dans le bac. Le couvercle remplit donc deux fonctions, la fonction usuelle d'un couvercle et une fonction de guidage des déchets lors du vidage du bac. On facilite donc le vidage du bac tout en limitant fortement la probabilité de voir des déchets de deux types différents se mélanger lors du vidage.In this way, the lid of the bin is used to limit the risk of mixing between different types of waste when collecting the waste stored in the bin. The cover therefore fulfills two functions, the usual function of a cover and a waste guide function when emptying the tray. It therefore facilitates the emptying of the container while greatly limiting the probability of seeing waste of two different types mix during emptying.

Ainsi, la seconde partie dirige le flux d'un type de déchets en l'éloignant de l'autre flux de déchets afin de diminuer une fois de plus le risque de mélange entre déchets de types différents. Les formes des première et seconde parties définissent les trajectoires des déchets.Thus, the second part directs the flow of one type of waste away from the other flow of waste in order to once again reduce the risk of mixing between waste of different types. The shapes of the first and second parts define the trajectories of the waste.

Avantageusement, les première et seconde parties sont agencées pour passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée lorsque le bac passe de la position de vidage du bac à une position de collecte de déchets.Advantageously, the first and second parts are arranged to move from the open position to the closed position when the tray moves from the tray emptying position to a waste collection position.

Ainsi, lors du vidage du bac dans un camion benne, l'opérateur a simplement besoin de saisir le bac, grâce à des moyens de préhension portés par le camion, tel qu'une pince ou un peigne, à rapprocher le bac de la benne, à faire passer le bac dans une position de vidage, c'est-à-dire à lui faire subir une rotation sur lui-même de 135° par exemple, et les première et seconde parties passent d'elles-mêmes de la position fermée à la position ouverte. Après la fin de l'opération de vidage, l'opérateur, à l'aide des moyens de préhension mécanique du bac, repositionne le bac sur son emplacement de collecte déchets. Les première et seconde parties passent donc d'elles-mêmes de la position ouverte à la position fermée. Le vidage du bac ne nécessite donc plus l'action d'un ripeur.Thus, when emptying the bin in a dump truck, the operator simply needs to grab the bin, using gripping means carried by the truck, such as a clamp or a comb, to bring the bin closer to the dump , to pass the tray into an emptying position, that is to say to make it undergo a rotation on itself by 135° for example, and the first and second parts pass by themselves from the position closed to the open position. After the end of the emptying operation, the operator, using the mechanical gripping means of the container, repositions the container on its waste collection location. The first and second parts therefore pass by themselves from the open position to the closed position. The emptying of the tank therefore no longer requires the action of a ripeur.

Selon un mode de réalisation, au moins l'une parmi les première et seconde parties est apte à passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée et réciproquement au moyen d'une rotation entre deux positions extrêmes, les deux positions extrêmes forment entre elles un angle inférieur à 90°.According to one embodiment, at least one of the first and second parts is capable of passing from the open position to the closed position and vice versa by means of a rotation between two extreme positions, the two extreme positions form between them a angle less than 90°.

La première ou la seconde partie passe donc, sous l'effet de la force de gravité, de la position ouverte à la position fermée lorsque le bac passe de la position de vidage du bac à la position de collecte de déchets.The first or the second part therefore passes, under the effect of the force of gravity, from the open position to the closed position when the tray passes from the emptying position of the tray to the waste collection position.

Avantageusement, le bac comprend au moins un ressort de rappel fixé à la cuve et à au moins l'une parmi les première et seconde parties de façon à la faire passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée lorsque le bac passe de la position de vidage du bac à la position de collecte de déchets.Advantageously, the tray comprises at least one return spring fixed to the tank and to at least one of the first and second parts so as to move it from the open position to the closed position when the tray moves from the tray emptying position to the waste collection position.

Il s'agit d'un moyen simple pour s'assurer que la première ou la seconde partie passe de la position ouverte à la position fermée lorsque le bac passe de la position de vidage du bac à la position de collecte de déchets.This is a simple way to ensure that the first or second part moves from the open position to the closed position when the bin moves from the bin emptying position to the waste collection position.

De préférence, les première et seconde parties sont agencées de manière que la première partie peut passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée et réciproquement indépendamment de la position de la seconde partie, tandis que la seconde partie peut passer de la position fermée à la position ouverte uniquement lorsque la première partie occupe la position ouverte.Preferably, the first and second parts are arranged in such a way that the first part can pass from the open position to the closed position and vice versa independently of the position of the second part, while the second part can pass from the closed position to the closed position. open position only when the first part occupies the open position.

De cette façon, on introduit une latence entre l'ouverture de la première et de la seconde partie du couvercle. On introduit donc également une latence dans le vidage des espaces distincts de stockage des déchets. Le risque de mélange inopportun des déchets lors du vidage du bac est donc réduit.In this way, a latency is introduced between the opening of the first and of the second part of the lid. A latency is therefore also introduced in the emptying of the separate waste storage spaces. The risk of inappropriate mixing of waste when emptying the bin is therefore reduced.

De préférence, les première et seconde parties ont des dimensions complémentaires de façon à recouvrir une ouverture de la cuve lorsque les première et seconde parties occupent la position fermée.Preferably, the first and second parts have complementary dimensions so as to cover an opening of the tank when the first and second parts occupy the closed position.

Ainsi, les première et seconde parties se suffisent à elle-même pour former le couvercle.Thus, the first and second parts are sufficient in themselves to form the lid.

Avantageusement, la première partie est agencée de manière à se situer dans le prolongement de la paroi de séparation lorsque la première partie occupe la position ouverte.Advantageously, the first part is arranged so as to be located in the extension of the partition wall when the first part occupies the open position.

La paroi de séparation et la première partie du couvercle, qui la prolonge, forment donc une seule et unique paroi qui permet générer deux flux de déchets distincts, de part et d'autre de cette paroi. On diminue donc encore la probabilité que des déchets de type différent se mélangent entre eux.The separating wall and the first part of the cover, which extends it, therefore form a single and unique wall which makes it possible to generate two separate waste streams, on either side of this wall. The probability of different types of waste mixing together is therefore further reduced.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'agencement des deux parties consiste en ce que la première partie est agencée de manière à recouvrir partiellement la seconde partie lorsque les première et seconde parties occupent la position fermée.According to one embodiment, the arrangement of the two parts consists in that the first part is arranged so as to partially cover the second part when the first and second parts occupy the closed position.

De cette façon, lorsqu'elle occupe la position fermée, la première partie contraint la seconde partie à rester en position fermée. On contraint donc simplement la position de la seconde partie.In this way, when it occupies the closed position, the first part constrains the second part to remain in the closed position. We therefore simply constrain the position of the second part.

Avantageusement, l'agencement des deux parties consiste en qu'une extrémité de la première partie forme une butée bloquant une rotation de la seconde partie lorsque la première partie occupe la position fermée.Advantageously, the arrangement of the two parts consists in one end of the first part forming an abutment blocking rotation of the second part when the first part occupies the closed position.

On contraint donc également de manière simple la position de la seconde partie.The position of the second part is therefore also constrained in a simple way.

Avantageusement, les axes de rotation des première et seconde parties sont dans un même plan, de préférence, le plan comprend la paroi de séparation.Advantageously, the axes of rotation of the first and second parts are in the same plane, preferably the plane includes the separating wall.

De préférence, les axes de rotation des première et seconde partie sont confondus.Preferably, the axes of rotation of the first and second parts coincide.

Ces agencements diminuent l'encombrement du bac.These arrangements reduce the size of the tray.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'une parmi la première et la seconde parties est conformée de manière à laisser à laisser un passage permettant d'introduire des déchets lorsqu'elle occupe la position fermée.According to one embodiment, one of the first and second parts is shaped so as to leave a passage for introducing waste when it occupies the closed position.

Il est donc possible d'introduire des déchets par l'intermédiaire de cette partie sans avoir besoin de la faire passer en position ouverte. Le bac est donc plus simple à utiliser.It is therefore possible to introduce waste via this part without having to pass it into the open position. The tray is therefore easier to use.

De préférence, une première extrémité de la première partie est fixée à la paroi de séparation et une seconde extrémité opposée de la première partie est libre en rotation par rapport à cette première extrémité.Preferably, a first end of the first part is fixed to the partition wall and a second opposite end of the first part is free to rotate with respect to this first end.

On peut donc utiliser la paroi de séparation pour fixer la première partie du couvercle. La fabrication du bac est donc simplifiée.The partition wall can therefore be used to fix the first part of the cover. The manufacture of the container is therefore simplified.

Avantageusement, la première et la seconde parties sont chacune conformées de manière à laisser un passage permettant l'introduction de déchets lorsque les première et seconde parties occupent la position fermée.Advantageously, the first and the second parts are each shaped so as to leave a passage allowing the introduction of waste when the first and second parts occupy the closed position.

Le bac est donc plus simple d'utilisation. On peut par exemple introduire des déchets dans la cuve sans avoir besoin d'ouvrir la première partie, donc sans risque de voir la seconde partie s'ouvrir inopinément, par exemple sous l'effet du vent.The tray is therefore easier to use. It is for example possible to introduce waste into the tank without the need to open the first part, therefore without risk of seeing the second part open unexpectedly, for example under the effect of the wind.

De préférence, un fond de la cuve comprend au moins une nervure dont l'épaisseur est telle que la paroi de séparation est maintenue en fond de cuve dans la nervure.Preferably, a bottom of the tank comprises at least one rib whose thickness is such that the separating wall is held at the bottom of the tank in the rib.

Il s'agit d'une manière simple pour fixer la paroi de séparation en fond de cuve.This is a simple way to fix the separation wall at the bottom of the tank.

Selon un mode de réalisation, l'ensemble formé par la paroi de séparation et les première et seconde parties est amovible par rapport la cuve.According to one embodiment, the assembly formed by the separating wall and the first and second parts is removable with respect to the tank.

On peut donc remplacer facilement cet ensemble en cas de détérioration.This assembly can therefore be easily replaced in the event of deterioration.

On va maintenant décrire, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, deux modes de réalisation de l'invention, à l'aide des figures suivantes :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'une partie d'un bac selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de perspective de ce bac, dans deux positions différentes, lors de son vidage,
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective de ce bac et d'une benne pour la collecte de déchets lors du vidage du bac,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'une partie d'un bac selon un example pour mieux comprendre l'invention, qui cependant ne fait pas partie de l'invention revendiquée.
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective du bac de la figure 4, dans lequel on n'a représenté qu'une seconde partie d'un couvercle, et
  • les figures 6 et 7 sont des vues en perspective du bac de la figure 4 lors de son vidage.
We will now describe, by way of non-limiting example, two embodiments of the invention, with the aid of the following figures:
  • there figure 1 is a perspective view of part of a container according to a first embodiment of the invention,
  • there figure 2 is a perspective view of this container, in two different positions, when it is emptied,
  • there picture 3 is a perspective view of this bin and a dumpster for collecting waste when emptying the bin,
  • there figure 4 is a perspective view of part of a container according to an example to better understand the invention, which however does not form part of the claimed invention.
  • there figure 5 is a perspective view of the tray of the figure 4 , in which only a second part of a cover has been shown, and
  • THE figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of the tray of the figure 4 when emptying it.

On a représenté à la figure 1, une partie supérieure, selon une direction verticale, d'un bac 10 pour la collecte de déchets selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention. Le bac 10 comprend une cuve 12 et un couvercle 14. La cuve 12 présente une ouverture, de forme approximativement carrée, sur son extrémité supérieure, selon la direction verticale. De plus, la cuve 12 comporte, sur un contour délimitant l'ouverture, une collerette 16 qui permet de renforcer mécaniquement la cuve 12, notamment pour soulevage lors du vidage du bac. En outre, la collerette 16 sert de support aux contours du couvercle 14 sur la collerette 16. Sur une portion de cette collerette 16, une poignée 18 est fixée de façon à permettre une préhension facile du bac 10 par un opérateur.We represented at the figure 1 , an upper part, in a vertical direction, of a container 10 for collecting waste according to a first embodiment of the invention. The container 10 comprises a tank 12 and a cover 14. The tank 12 has an opening, of approximately square shape, on its upper end, in the vertical direction. In addition, the tank 12 comprises, on a contour delimiting the opening, a collar 16 which makes it possible to mechanically reinforce the tank 12, in particular for lifting when emptying the tank. In addition, the flange 16 serves as a support for the contours of the cover 14 on the flange 16. On a portion of this flange 16, a handle 18 is fixed so as to allow easy gripping of the container 10 by an operator.

La partie inférieure, selon la direction verticale, de la cuve 12 peut être de tout type. Le bac 10 peut notamment comprendre une ou plusieurs roues. Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, dans ce mode de réalisation, la cuve 12 est portée par deux roues 20. En outre, la cuve est ici essentiellement constituée de plastique, à savoir du polyéthylène, de préférence partiellement ou intégralement recyclé, mais peut, selon une variante du présent mode de réalisation, comprendre un autre matériau plastique ou du métal. La cuve 12 est issue d'un procédé de moulage par injection, elle est monobloc.The lower part, in the vertical direction, of the tank 12 can be of any type. Tray 10 may in particular comprise one or more wheels. As seen on the picture 3 , in this embodiment, the tank 12 is carried by two wheels 20. In addition, the tank here is essentially made of plastic, namely polyethylene, preferably partially or completely recycled, but can, according to a variant of this embodiment embodiment, include another plastic material or metal. The tank 12 comes from an injection molding process, it is in one piece.

Comme on le voit aux figures 2 et 3, le bac 10 comprend une paroi de séparation 22, de forme sensiblement plane. Cette paroi de séparation 22 délimite, dans la cuve 12, deux espaces distincts, un premier espace 24 et un second espace 26, de stockage de déchets. La paroi de séparation 22 est fixée, en fond de cuve et autour de la collerette 16, par des moyens que l'on explicitera plus loin. Les dimensions de la paroi de séparation 22 sont adaptées pour qu'elle définisse, dans la cuve 12, deux compartiments qui ne communiquent pas l'un envers l'autre et de sorte qu'un déchet, même de taille réduite, introduit dans l'un des compartiments 24, 26 ne puisse rejoindre l'autre compartiment 24, 26, même lorsque le bac 10 est retourné, pour être par exemple vidé.As we see at figure 2 And 3 , the tray 10 comprises a partition wall 22, of substantially planar shape. This dividing wall 22 delimits, in the tank 12, two separate spaces, a first space 24 and a second space 26, for storing waste. The separation wall 22 is fixed, at the bottom of the tank and around the flange 16, by means which will be explained later. The dimensions of the separation wall 22 are adapted so that it defines, in the tank 12, two compartments which do not communicate with each other and so that a waste, even of small size, introduced into the one of the compartments 24, 26 cannot reach the other compartment 24, 26, even when the tray 10 is turned over, for example to be emptied.

Dans ce premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, comme illustré aux figures 2 et 3, la paroi de séparation 22 délimite, dans la cuve 12, deux espaces distincts de stockage de déchets dont les volumes sont équivalents. Bien entendu, on peut positionner la paroi de séparation 22 dans la cuve 12 de façon à ce que l'un des espaces 24, 26 occupe 60% du volume de la cuve 12 et l'autre 40%, ou encore de façon à ce que l'un des espaces 24, 26 occupe 70% du volume de la cuve 12, et l'autre 30%. Les volumes respectifs des deux espaces ne sont pas des caractéristiques limitatives de l'invention. Ainsi, comme le bac 10 est destiné à faciliter le tri sélectif des déchets, on peut adapter le volume des espaces 24, 26 au rythme moyen d'accumulation d'un type de déchets. Par exemple, on peut ajuster la position de la paroi de séparation 22 de manière que l'espace 24 occupe 70% du volume de la cuve 12 et l'espace 26, 30%. Alors, l'espace 24 peut être destiné à recueillir des matières plastiques, tandis que l'espace 26 peut être destiné à recueillir du verre.In this first embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in figure 2 And 3 , the dividing wall 22 defines, in the tank 12, two separate waste storage spaces whose volumes are equivalent. Of course, the separating wall 22 can be positioned in the tank 12 so that one of the spaces 24, 26 occupies 60% of the volume of the tank 12 and the other 40%, or even so that that one of the spaces 24, 26 occupies 70% of the volume of the tank 12, and the other 30%. The respective volumes of the two spaces are not characteristics limitations of the invention. Thus, as the tray 10 is intended to facilitate the selective sorting of waste, the volume of the spaces 24, 26 can be adapted to the average rate of accumulation of a type of waste. For example, the position of the partition wall 22 can be adjusted so that the space 24 occupies 70% of the volume of the tank 12 and the space 26, 30%. Then, the space 24 can be intended to collect plastic materials, while the space 26 can be intended to collect glass.

Comme illustré aux figures 1 à 3, le couvercle 14 du bac 10 comprend une première partie 28 et une seconde partie 30. Les première 28 et seconde 30 parties sont aptes à occuper une position ouverte, représentée à la figure 2B, et une position fermée, illustrée à la figure 1. Lorsque les première 28 et seconde 30 parties sont en position fermée, le couvercle 14 recouvre l'ouverture de la cuve 12. Pour ce faire, les première 28 et seconde 30 parties ont des dimensions complémentaires adaptées pour recouvrir l'ouverture de la cuve 12. La première partie 28 du couvercle 14 permet l'introduction de déchets dans le premier espace 24 de stockage de déchets et la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 permet l'introduction de déchets dans le second espace 26 de stockage de déchets de la cuve 12.As shown in figures 1 to 3 , the lid 14 of the container 10 comprises a first part 28 and a second part 30. The first 28 and second 30 parts are capable of occupying an open position, shown in figure 2B , and a closed position, illustrated in figure 1 . When the first 28 and second 30 parts are in the closed position, the lid 14 covers the opening of the tank 12. To do this, the first 28 and second 30 parts have complementary dimensions adapted to cover the opening of the tank 12 The first part 28 of the cover 14 allows the introduction of waste into the first waste storage space 24 and the second part 30 of the cover 14 allows the introduction of waste into the second waste storage space 26 of the tank 12 .

Comme on le voit sur la figure 1, la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 et une face extérieure de la collerette 16 sont conformées de manière à laisser un passage 32 permettant à utilisateur d'introduire des déchets dans le second espace 26 de la cuve 12, lorsque la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 occupe la position fermée. Cet agencement est possible du fait de la forme « en casquette » de la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14. En revanche, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 a une forme sensiblement plane, et lorsqu'elle occupe la position fermée, l'utilisateur ne peut pas introduire de déchet dans le premier espace 24 de la cuve 12. Cependant, selon une variante du présent mode de réalisation qui ne fait pas partie de l'invention revendiquée, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 est également conformée de manière à laisser un passage permettant l'introduction des déchets, en ayant une forme semblable à la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14. Dans cette configuration, l'utilisateur peut introduire des déchets dans les deux compartiments du bac 10 lorsque les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 occupent la position fermée. Le passage en position ouverte des première 28 et seconde 30 parties n'est alors requis que pour procéder au vidage du bac 10.As seen on the figure 1 , the second part 30 of the cover 14 and an outer face of the flange 16 are shaped so as to leave a passage 32 allowing the user to introduce waste into the second space 26 of the tank 12, when the second part 30 of the cover 14 occupies the closed position. This arrangement is possible due to the "cap" shape of the second part 30 of the cover 14. On the other hand, the first part 28 of the cover 14 has a substantially planar shape, and when it occupies the closed position, the user cannot introduce waste into the first space 24 of the tank 12. However, according to a variant of the present embodiment which does not form part of the claimed invention, the first part 28 of the lid 14 is also shaped so as to leave a passage allowing the introduction of waste, having a shape similar to the second part 30 of the lid 14. In this configuration, the user can introduce waste into the two compartments of the tray 10 when the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 occupy the closed position. The passage in the open position of the first 28 and second 30 parts is then only required to empty the tray 10.

On va maintenant décrire, toujours à l'aide des figures 1 à 3, le passage de la position ouverte à la position fermée des première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14.We will now describe, still using the figures 1 to 3 , the passage from the open position to the closed position of the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14.

Comme on le voit sur les figures 1 et 2A, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 peut entrer en rotation autour d'un axe situé dans un plan qui est celui de la paroi de séparation 22, pour passer de la position fermée à la position ouverte et réciproquement. Une première extrémité de la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 est ainsi fixée à la une bordure de la paroi de séparation 22 qui est située sensiblement au niveau de l'ouverture de la cuve 12, selon la direction verticale. Inversement, l'extrémité opposée par rapport à cette première extrémité, en regard avec la poignée 18, est libre en rotation entre deux positions. Une première position, visible à la figure 1, dans laquelle cette extrémité s'appuie sur une portion de la collerette 16, et une seconde position, visible aux figures 2A et 2B, qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire à cette première position, et qui est telle que la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 prolonge la paroi de séparation 22. Dans la première position, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 occupe la position fermée, et dans la seconde position, elle occupe la position ouverte.As seen on the figures 1 and 2A , the first part 28 of the cover 14 can enter into rotation about an axis located in a plane which is that of the partition wall 22, to pass from the closed position to the open position and reciprocally. A first end of the first part 28 of the cover 14 is thus fixed to the edge of the partition wall 22 which is located substantially at the level of the opening of the tank 12, in the vertical direction. Conversely, the opposite end with respect to this first end, facing the handle 18, is free to rotate between two positions. A first position, visible at the figure 1 , in which this end rests on a portion of the collar 16, and a second position, visible to the figures 2A and 2B , which is substantially perpendicular to this first position, and which is such that the first part 28 of the cover 14 extends the partition 22. In the first position, the first part 28 of the cover 14 occupies the closed position, and in the second position, it occupies the open position.

De plus, comme illustré à la figure 1, une portion de la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 recouvre partiellement la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 lorsque ces première 28 et seconde 30 parties occupent la position fermée. La seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 est fixée, par l'une de ses extrémités, à la bordure de la paroi de séparation, tandis que l'autre extrémité, qui participe à délimiter le passage 32, peut être déplacée entre deux positions. Une position, visible à la figure 1, dans laquelle cette extrémité s'appuie sur la collerette 16 et une autre position, visible à la figure 2B, qui se situe dans un plan qui forme un angle approximativement égal à 45°, sans que cette valeur ne soit une caractéristique limitative, avec le plan de la paroi de séparation 22. Ainsi, les axes de rotations des première 28 et seconde 30 parties sont dans le même plan qui comprend également la paroi de séparation 22.Moreover, as illustrated in figure 1 , a portion of the first part 28 of the cover 14 partially covers the second part 30 of the cover 14 when these first 28 and second 30 parts occupy the closed position. The second part 30 of the cover 14 is fixed, by one of its ends, to the edge of the partition wall, while the other end, which participates in delimiting the passage 32, can be moved between two positions. A position, visible at figure 1 , in which this end rests on the collar 16 and another position, visible in figure 2B , which is located in a plane which forms an angle approximately equal to 45°, without this value being a limiting characteristic, with the plane of the partition wall 22. Thus, the axes of rotation of the first 28 and second 30 parts are in the same plane which also includes the dividing wall 22.

Mais, lorsque la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 occupe la position fermée, elle recouvre partiellement la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14. La partie recouverte comprend notamment l'axe de rotation de cette seconde partie 30 ainsi qu'une portion de la seconde partie 30 qui doit entrer en rotation pour que la seconde partie 30 passe de la position fermée à la position ouverte. Ainsi, la première extrémité de la première partie 28 forme une butée qui bloque la rotation de la seconde partie 30 lorsque la première partie 28 occupe la position fermée. C'est pourquoi, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 peut passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée et réciproquement, indépendamment de la position de la seconde partie 30. Inversement, la seconde partie 30 ne peut pas passer de la position fermée à la position ouverte lorsque la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 occupe la position fermée.However, when the first part 28 of the cover 14 occupies the closed position, it partially covers the second part 30 of the cover 14. The covered part comprises in particular the axis of rotation of this second part 30 as well as a portion of the second part 30 which must rotate so that the second part 30 passes from the closed position to the open position. Thus, the first end of the first part 28 forms a stop which blocks the rotation of the second part 30 when the first part 28 occupies the closed position. This is why the first part 28 of the cover 14 can pass from the open position to the closed position and vice versa, independently of the position of the second part 30. Conversely, the second part 30 cannot pass from the closed position to the open position when the first part 28 of the cover 14 occupies the closed position.

La portion de la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 qui est recouverte par la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 lorsque ces deux parties sont en position fermée a une forme adaptée pour servir de rampe lorsque la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 passe de la position fermée à la position ouverte, visible à la figure 2A. Comme on le voit sur cette figure, lorsque la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 occupe la position ouverte, elle ne recouvre plus partiellement la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 qui est libre de passer de la position fermée à la position ouverte.The portion of the second part 30 of the cover 14 which is covered by the first part 28 of the cover 14 when these two parts are in the closed position has a shape adapted to serve as a ramp when the first part 28 of the cover 14 passes from the closed position in the open position, visible at the figure 2A . As we seen in this figure, when the first part 28 of the cover 14 occupies the open position, it no longer partially covers the second part 30 of the cover 14 which is free to pass from the closed position to the open position.

On va maintenant décrire un procédé de vidage du bac 10.We will now describe a method for emptying the tray 10.

On a représenté, à la figure 3, un camion 40 pour la collecte des déchets. Le camion 40 comporte une benne 42 destinée à recevoir les déchets. La benne 42 comprend deux compartiments 44 et 46, séparés par une cloison 48. La cloison 48 comporte une glissière 50 qui est complémentaire du couvercle 14 du bac 10. En outre, la benne 42 comporte une ouverture 52 dont les dimensions sont sensiblement égales à celles de la collerette 16 du bac 10. L'ouverture donne sur les deux compartiments 44 et 46 de la benne 42.We represented, at the picture 3 , a 40 truck for waste collection. The truck 40 includes a bucket 42 intended to receive the waste. The dumpster 42 comprises two compartments 44 and 46, separated by a partition 48. The partition 48 comprises a slide 50 which is complementary to the lid 14 of the tray 10. In addition, the dumpster 42 comprises an opening 52 whose dimensions are substantially equal to those of the flange 16 of the tank 10. The opening opens onto the two compartments 44 and 46 of the bucket 42.

Le bac 10 est initialement dans la position illustrée à la figure 1. Les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 occupent la position fermée.Tray 10 is initially in the position illustrated in figure 1 . The first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 occupy the closed position.

Puis, le bac 10 est saisi par un moyen de préhension du camion 40 tel qu'une pince ou un peigne qui s'engage sous la collerette 16. Le bac 10 est alors amené à proximité de l'ouverture de la benne 42. Puis, le bac 10 est retourné. En raison de la force de gravité, la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 passe de la position fermée à la position ouverte sous son propre poids et sous le poids des déchets, comme on le voit en figure 2A. Pendant un cours laps de temps, la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 est fermée. La première partie 28 du couvercle 14 vient alors en contact avec une face supérieure, selon la direction verticale, de la glissière 50. Sous l'effet de la gravité, la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 passe également de la position fermée à la position ouverte et entre en contact avec une face inférieure, selon la direction verticale, de la glissière 50. Ainsi, les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 enserrent la glissière 50. Les déchets qui sont respectivement contenus dans les premier et second espaces de stockage peuvent donc se déverser, sous l'effet de la gravité, respectivement dans les compartiments 44 et 46. Comme on le voit sur la figure 3 notamment, la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 a une forme concave. Ainsi, on accentue la différence de trajectoire entre les déchets qui proviennent du premier espace de stockage 24, qui tombent sur la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 et atteignent le compartiment 44 de la benne 42, et les déchets qui proviennent du second espace de stockage 26, qui rebondissent sur la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14 et atteignent le compartiment 46 de la benne 42. A cet égard, on voit que la forme en casquette de la première partie 28 a aussi pour avantage de faciliter le glissement des déchets lors du vidage. En outre, compte tenu du risque de salissure de cette première partie 28, du fait du glissement des déchets, il peut être opportun, selon le type de déchets, que les utilisateurs puissent introduire des déchets par le passage 32 sans toucher la seconde partie 30.Then, the tray 10 is gripped by a gripping means of the truck 40 such as a clamp or a comb which engages under the collar 16. The tray 10 is then brought close to the opening of the bucket 42. Then , tray 10 is flipped. Due to the force of gravity, the first part 28 of the cover 14 moves from the closed position to the open position under its own weight and under the weight of the waste, as seen in figure 2A . For a short period of time, the second part 30 of the lid 14 is closed. The first part 28 of the cover 14 then comes into contact with an upper face, in the vertical direction, of the slide 50. Under the effect of gravity, the second part 30 of the cover 14 also passes from the closed position to the closed position. opened and comes into contact with an underside, in the vertical direction, of the slide 50. Thus, the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 enclose the slide 50. The waste which is respectively contained in the first and second spaces of storage can therefore flow, under the effect of gravity, into the compartments 44 and 46 respectively. picture 3 in particular, the second part 30 of the lid 14 has a concave shape. Thus, the difference in trajectory is accentuated between the waste which comes from the first storage space 24, which falls on the first part 28 of the cover 14 and reaches the compartment 44 of the skip 42, and the waste which comes from the second storage space 26, which bounce off the second part 30 of the lid 14 and reach the compartment 46 of the bucket 42. In this respect, we see that the cap shape of the first part 28 also has the advantage of facilitating the sliding of the waste during the dump. In addition, given the risk of soiling of this first part 28, due to the sliding of the waste, it may be appropriate, depending on the type of waste, for users to be able to introduce waste through the passage 32 without touching the second part 30 .

Ainsi, comme on le voit sur la figure 3, lorsque le bac 10 occupe une position de vidage du bac 10, les premières 28 et seconde 30 parties sont agencées pour occuper la position ouverte de façon à définir chacune une trajectoire distincte de sortie des déchets provenant respectivement des premier 24 et second 26 espaces distincts de stockage.Thus, as seen in the picture 3 , when the tray 10 occupies a position for emptying the tray 10, the first 28 and second 30 parts are arranged to occupy the open position so as to each define a distinct exit path for the waste originating respectively from the first 24 and second 26 distinct spaces of storage.

Comme, en prenant en sandwich la glissière 50 de la cloison 48 avec le couvercle 14, on a défini deux trajectoires distinctes pour les déchets qui proviennent du bac 10, selon qu'ils se trouvent initialement dans le premier 24 ou le second 26 espace de stockage, on trie, de manière fiable, les déchets lors du vidage du bac 10. Cette différenciation des trajectoires est notamment accentuée par la forme de la seconde partie 30 du couvercle 14. En effet, la première partie 28 a une forme plane, tandis que la seconde partie 30 a une forme concave.As, by sandwiching the slide 50 of the partition 48 with the cover 14, two distinct trajectories have been defined for the waste which comes from the bin 10, depending on whether they are initially in the first 24 or the second 26 space of storage, the waste is reliably sorted during the emptying of the container 10. This differentiation of the trajectories is in particular accentuated by the shape of the second part 30 of the cover 14. that the second part 30 has a concave shape.

En outre, comme on le voit sur la figure 1, par comparaison avec la figure 3, lorsque le bac 10 passe de la position de vidage du bac 10, visible à la figure 3, à la position de collecte des déchets, illustrée à la figure 1, les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 sont agencées pour passer, d'elles-mêmes, de la position ouverte à la position fermée.Furthermore, as seen in the figure 1 , compared to the picture 3 , when tray 10 passes from the tray 10 emptying position, visible at the picture 3 , at the waste collection position, shown in figure 1 , the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 are arranged to pass, by themselves, from the open position to the closed position.

La première partie 28 du couvercle 14 revient à la position fermée sous l'effet de la force de gravité. En effet, la première partie 28 est apte à passer de la position ouverte à la position fermée et réciproquement au moyen d'une rotation entre deux positions extrêmes, illustrées aux figures 1 et 3. Ces deux positions extrêmes forment entre elles un angle inférieur à 90°. Ainsi, sous l'effet de son propre poids, la première partie 28 gagne la position fermée lorsque le bac 10 passe de la position de vidage du bac 10 à la position de collecte de déchets.The first part 28 of the cover 14 returns to the closed position under the effect of the force of gravity. Indeed, the first part 28 is capable of passing from the open position to the closed position and vice versa by means of a rotation between two extreme positions, illustrated in figure 1 And 3 . These two extreme positions form between them an angle less than 90°. Thus, under the effect of its own weight, the first part 28 gains the closed position when the tray 10 passes from the emptying position of the tray 10 to the waste collection position.

Optionnellement, on peut fixer un ressort de rappel, d'une part à la cuve 12, et d'autre part à la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 pour s'assurer que la première partie 28 passe de la position ouverte à la position fermée lorsque le bac 10 passe de la position de vidage du bac 10 à la position de collecte des déchets.Optionally, a return spring can be fixed, on the one hand to the tank 12, and on the other hand to the first part 28 of the lid 14 to ensure that the first part 28 passes from the open position to the closed position. when tray 10 moves from the tray 10 emptying position to the waste collection position.

La paroi de séparation 22 est de préférence fixée à la cuve 12 par le fond de cuve 12. Pour ce faire, le fond de cuve 12 comprend au moins une nervure dont les dimensions sont adaptées pour fixer la position de la paroi de séparation 22 dans la cuve 12. Ainsi, la nervure a une épaisseur telle que la paroi de séparation 22 est maintenue en fond de cuve 12, dans la nervure.The separation wall 22 is preferably fixed to the tank 12 by the bottom of the tank 12. To do this, the bottom of the tank 12 comprises at least one rib whose dimensions are adapted to fix the position of the separation wall 22 in the tank 12. Thus, the rib has a thickness such that the separating wall 22 is held at the bottom of the tank 12, in the rib.

L'avantage de la nervure est de permettre une fixation amovible de l'ensemble formé par la paroi de séparation 22 et les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 par rapport à la cuve 12.The advantage of the rib is to allow removable fixing of the assembly formed by the partition wall 22 and the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 with respect to the tank 12.

On peut également fixer la paroi de séparation 22 au moyen de clips plastiques dont les formes sont complémentaires de la collerette 16 de la cuve 12. Selon des variantes, on peut aussi fixer au moyen de vis et d'écrou la paroi de séparation 22 à la cuve 12.It is also possible to fix the partition wall 22 by means of plastic clips whose the shapes are complementary to the flange 16 of the tank 12. According to variants, it is also possible to fix the separating wall 22 to the tank 12 by means of screws and nuts.

Avantageusement, les première 28 et seconde 30 parties du couvercle 14 ont des couleurs différentes permettant à l'utilisateur et à l'opérateur de distinguer aisément le type de déchet qui est contenu dans les premier 24 et second 26 espaces de stockage de déchets de la cuve 12.Advantageously, the first 28 and second 30 parts of the cover 14 have different colors allowing the user and the operator to easily distinguish the type of waste which is contained in the first 24 and second 26 waste storage spaces of the tank 12.

En outre, comme la première partie 28 du couvercle 14 recouvre partiellement la seconde partie 30, on limite les infiltrations d'eaux de pluie.In addition, as the first part 28 of the cover 14 partially covers the second part 30, the infiltration of rainwater is limited.

On va maintenant décrire, en référence aux figures 4 à 7, un second mode de réalisation de l'invention. Seules les différences avec le premier mode de réalisation vont être explicitées.We will now describe, with reference to figures 4 to 7 , a second embodiment of the invention. Only the differences with the first embodiment will be explained.

On a représenté, aux figures 4 à 7, un example pour mieux comprendre l'invention, qui cependant ne fait pas partie de l'invention revendiquée. Il s'agit d'un bac 100 pour la collecte de déchets qui comprend une cuve 102 munie d'une collerette 104 et un couvercle 106 qui comprend une première 108 et seconde 110 parties. Le bac 100 comprend en outre une paroi de séparation 116. Dans ce mode de réalisation, comme on le voit à la figure 4, les axes de rotation des première 108 et seconde 110 parties sont confondus. En outre, les première 108 et seconde 110 parties forment chacune, avec une portion de la collerette 104, un passage respectivement 112 et 114, pour permettre l'introduction des déchets sans nécessité de faire passer les première 108 et seconde 110 parties de la position ouverte à la position fermée. Ce passage de la position fermée à la position ouverte ne se fait que lorsqu'il est nécessaire de vider le bac 100. L'utilisation du bac 100 est donc plus simple.We represented, figures 4 to 7 , an example to better understand the invention, which however does not form part of the claimed invention. This is a bin 100 for collecting waste which comprises a tank 102 provided with a collar 104 and a cover 106 which comprises a first 108 and second 110 parts. The tray 100 further includes a partition wall 116. In this embodiment, as seen in figure 4 , the axes of rotation of the first 108 and second 110 parts coincide. In addition, the first 108 and second 110 parts each form, with a portion of the flange 104, a passage 112 and 114 respectively, to allow the introduction of waste without the need to pass the first 108 and second 110 parts from the position open to the closed position. This passage from the closed position to the open position is only done when it is necessary to empty the tray 100. The use of the tray 100 is therefore simpler.

Une extrémité de la première partie 108 du couvercle 106 a une forme complémentaire d'une extrémité de la seconde partie 110 du couvercle 106 pour que la seconde partie 110 soit empêchée de passer de la position fermée à la position ouverte tant que la première partie 108 est dans la position fermée. Ici, les deux extrémités de la première 108 et seconde 110 parties se clipsent l'une à l'autre. Comme on le voit aux figures 5 à 7, le passage des première 108 et seconde 110 parties du couvercle 106 de la position fermée à la position ouverte s'effectue comme précédemment décrit.One end of the first part 108 of the lid 106 has a shape complementary to an end of the second part 110 of the lid 106 so that the second part 110 is prevented from moving from the closed position to the open position as long as the first part 108 is in the closed position. Here, the two ends of the first 108 and second 110 parts clip together. As we see at figures 5 to 7 , the passage of the first 108 and second 110 parts of the cover 106 from the closed position to the open position takes place as previously described.

De façon avantageuse, les première 108 et seconde 110 parties du couvercle 106 présentent des formes similaires. Ainsi, ils peuvent être formés à partir du même moule, ce qui permet une fabrication du couvercle 106 plus facile.Advantageously, the first 108 and second 110 parts of the lid 106 have similar shapes. Thus, they can be formed from the same mold, which allows for easier manufacture of cover 106.

Bien entendu, on pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses modifications sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, qui est défini par les revendications ci-jointes.Of course, many modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims.

On pourra également utiliser tous types de moyens de fixation de la paroi de séparation 22 à la cuve 12.It is also possible to use all types of means for fixing the wall of the separation 22 to tank 12.

La paroi de séparation 22 ainsi que le couvercle 14 peut comprendre tous types de matériaux et notamment du plastique et/ou du métal. Ils peuvent être formés par injection.The partition wall 22 as well as the cover 14 can comprise all types of materials and in particular plastic and/or metal. They can be formed by injection.

De plus, le couvercle 14 selon l'invention peut ne pas comprendre uniquement deux parties 28, 30, mais trois parties ou plus.Moreover, the cover 14 according to the invention may not only comprise two parts 28, 30, but three or more parts.
