Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for disposing of used chewing gums, comprising a body with a front side for receiving the used chewing gums, and a container for collecting and temporarily storing the used chewing gum, which is arranged below the body or is integrated on the underside thereof, wherein the Front is provided with a layer.
  • a still common nuisance in public places is the behavior of many chewing gum consumers of disposing their used chewing gum on the spot, i. Wherever they are to spit on the ground or throw or stick to walls, benches, doors, lanterns and the like. Whether the chewing gum is clearly visible or perhaps out of a certain sense of shame, hidden in such an improper way, this is in any case unattractive and unhygienic.
  • trash cans as well as other public facilities, are often damaged by vandalism and become unusable in extreme cases.
  • this trash can from the user's point of view is functionally identical with a conventional trash can and offers no features that make his use to these interesting. This is not changed by the fact that the there disclosed chewing gum waste bin is made smaller than a conventional trash can. On the contrary, it can happen so much faster that it overflows and thus becomes useless for its purpose. Because the similarity with a traditional trash can be expected that it is often needed as such for the disposal of other waste.
  • the present invention presents a device according to claim 1, comprising a body having a front side for receiving the chewing gums, a container located below the body or at the bottom or in a lower region for collecting the used chewing gums and a layer covering the front side of the body covers and covers.
  • device according to the invention corresponds to a known from the prior art. Characteristic of the chewing gum supplying device according to the invention, however, is that the front side has an opening through which used chewing gums are introduced into the interior of the body where they gravitationally fall further down into the (collection) container.
  • the body is a housing of front, side and top surface, which may additionally optionally include a rear wall and a bottom surface. Shape, design of the surfaces is of minor importance in the context of the invention. Fancy geometric structures can be used as well as simple, planar rectangular or geometrically demountable into a small number of triangles and / or rectangles surfaces.
  • the opening in the front of the body is largely arbitrary in shape. However, it must be of sufficient size to be able to carry a used chewing gum comfortably through.
  • the opening is partially or completely covered by the flexible layer.
  • the flexible layer serves to effectively prevent sticking of used chewing gums to the front of the body itself, so that the chewing gums in each case go inside the body and further down into the collection container reach.
  • the layer ideally has a reduced liability for used chewing gum.
  • edges of the opening and the inside of the body could also have an anti-stick coating in embodiments of the present invention to prevent the used chewing gum, possibly with much momentum, being introduced through the opening in the front sticking to an inside of the body.
  • the (collecting) container according to the invention is a vessel with at least side and a bottom surface.
  • It can be integrated according to the invention either in the lower part of the body, in which there is approximately an insertion opening in the body of the front of the body, through which an open-topped container is inserted, or the container is designed as a separate unit, which underside of the body is arranged.
  • the container When attaching the device according to the invention to a Wall, the container may be attached approximately independently of the body to the wall, or is a slide-in frame available, which is independent of the body attached to the wall and in which the container is inserted. Concrete embodiments and implementations of the arrangements described are readily familiar to the person skilled in the art.
  • the device according to the invention is first prepared for intended use by the (collection) container is inserted into its intended holder and the front of the body is provided with a layer or coating according to the invention.
  • This may for example be in the form of a film, a (coated) paper or a textile fabric, which is attached to the front of the body, such as by sticking, gluing or inserting into a holder provided therefor.
  • the thus-prepared chewing gum supplying device of the present invention is used by pressing a used chewing gum on the part of the layer located above the opening in the front face, which yields and releases the path into the inside of the body.
  • the chewing gum is then released by the user and, by gravity, passes the interior of the body passing down through the opening in the top of the container to the interior of the collection container where it remains for further storage until final disposal.
  • the opening in the top of the container may, in some embodiments of the present invention, be closed by a spring-loaded flap which is opened by the force of a chewing gum falling down on the flap.
  • a spring-loaded flap By such a flap an opaque firing of the collecting container and thus an almost isolated from the environment intermediate storage of used chewing gum is possible.
  • it is advisable to make sure that adequate ventilation of the container is nevertheless ensured so that the chewing gums stored there dry quickly in order to minimize microbial growth as far as possible.
  • the main advantage of the improved chewing gum supplying device according to the present invention is that, in contrast to known in the prior art devices by intermediate storage of used chewing gum inside a non-visible from the outside collection container a great progress of the aesthetics and especially hygiene of the disposal device is achieved. Bacteria or other microorganisms that thrive on the chewing gums are thereby isolated by subsequent users, and minimizing or even preventing the attractiveness of other small creatures and vermin.
  • the front of the body has more than one chewing gum supply opening in the interior of the body.
  • two, better yet a plurality of openings should be provided. These can be random and of different sizes. In a preferred embodiment, however, these openings are all substantially of the same size and shape, and are distributed approximately grid-shaped over the front.
  • the openings in the front of the body are preferably circular and have a diameter between 1 and 3 cm, more preferably between 1.5 and 2 cm.
  • the front side, but in particular the inner edges of the openings and the front inside of the body are preferably provided with a firmly applied adhesion-reducing coating, so that chewing gums do not stick there, but reliably, as provided by the present invention, continue to fall down into the collection container.
  • the front side preferably comprises a flat plate into which one or all of the openings for insertion of the chewing gum are introduced are.
  • the front is designed as a side opening door or an upwardly or downwardly opening flap, which is particularly preferably lockable.
  • the front as a whole is essentially vertical and level.
  • the arranged below the body or in the lower part of the body integrated collecting container is open in an embodiment of the present invention upwards, d. H. the top opening largely occupies the entire surface of the top.
  • the opening collecting container to close by a flap in particular a spring-loaded flap. It should be used as light flap and weak spring, so that the impulse of a falling chewing gum usual size is sufficient to open the flap.
  • a quick drying of the stored in the container chewing gum is very beneficial for hygiene. It is therefore proposed to provide ventilation options. These should let through only air, but not small and microorganisms if possible. This can be achieved, for example, in that a partial region of one or more side surfaces or the bottom surface is designed as a fine-meshed wire mesh. Alternatively or additionally, a grid of fine holes may also be present.
  • the container may have an anti-stick coating inside and / or be filled with a granular material, for example sand.
  • a granular material for example sand.
  • the granular material has moisture-binding properties, such as sawdust, talcum powder or magnesia.
  • the shape of the container as well as that of the body with the exception of the front, in the context of the present invention essentially arbitrary. So z.
  • unusual shapes and interesting designs are used.
  • a simple shape for example a cuboid or cuboid-like shape, for the collecting container.
  • the collecting container is, moreover, preferably designed from the body or, if it is attached separately, removable from a holder and also designed to be lockable.
  • the container is preferably designed so that it protrudes forward over the front of the body and there over has an upward opening, which may also be closed with a flap.
  • the flexible layer or coating according to the invention on the front side of the body is designed to be replaceable in each case, but preferably additionally has anti-stick properties compared to used chewing gums, so that they do not hang or stick to the layer as possible.
  • the layer may consist of paper, in particular coated paper, foil or a textile fabric. It is too conceivable to use a composite, for example a multilayer composite of these materials.
  • the layer can consist of a coherent piece. However, it is also conceivable that it is composed of mutually only loosely connected or not connected subregions. When used in this form, such portions would be forced inwardly through the opening together with the chewing gum and fall down along with the chewing gum into the collection container. As a result, an even more hygienic storage of chewing gum is achieved.
  • each of the openings provided in the front of the body is associated with such a portion of the layer.
  • Such a subdivision can be realized, for example, when using a paper, a film or a textile fabric equipped with predetermined breaking lines in the form of perforations.
  • predetermined breaking lines in the region of the opening can completely surround and be executed.
  • the predetermined breaking lines do not completely enclose the openings but only partially.
  • only one kind of door or flap is opened in the flexible layer, through which the chewing gum is slidable through the opening into the interior of the body. After this process, this flap goes back more or less in the starting position and closes the opening again in an aesthetic and hygienic way.
  • the flexible layer is preferably exchangeable or exchangeable. This is achieved by realization as solvable attained fixed paper, foil or textile fabric.
  • the attachment can be accomplished here in many ways. These fall down, stick, screw and / or pinned. It can also be provided two or more spring clips.
  • the flexible layer is fixed by being inserted into a holder which is present at the edge of the front side. This can for example be designed as a doubling of the material of the front.
  • the flexible layer preferably has an eye-catching graphic design that appeals to the respective target group of chewing gum consumers. For this she can be printed or painted with different motives. Furthermore, it is proposed to print instructions regarding the correct use in order to avoid misuse. Such cues may also be applied, alone or in conjunction with the indicia on the flexible layer, elsewhere on the front or outer surface of the body. In conjunction with a plurality of openings in the front of the body, wherein preferably one motif per opening of the front or per subregion is present, is thus achieved by a particularly interesting and stimulating for use design of the chewing gum according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the chewing gum supplying device according to the invention in a perspective view. It has a body 11 with a front side 12 in the form of a flat plate, in which a plurality of round, equal-sized openings 10 are introduced and distributed largely grid-like. The layer covering the front side is not shown here.
  • collecting container 13 is integrated. It consists of a substantially cuboid insertion compartment, which can be inserted into a complementary insertion opening in the lower part of the body 11 and locked there.
  • the container 13 is open at the top and protrudes from the front over the front side 12 of the body, in order to be able to catch any chewing gum adhering to the front and falling from there as well.
  • the body On the upper side, the body is closed by an inclined cover plate 111 with the above rain cover 1110.
  • the rain cover protrudes at least as far as the front side 12, as the container 13, so that its outside of the body 11, front 12 lying opposite opening 16 is protected against the ingress of rain.
  • body 11 with container 12 is attached to a wall. It is also possible to hang the body either on a post or put on top of a post.
  • a free-standing attachment has the advantage of a further increased visibility of the chewing gum device according to the invention, so that the frequency of use tends to increase.
  • FIG. 2 shows in two sub-figures depending on a front view of the embodiment FIG. 1 once with (part A) and once without the flexible layer according to the invention (part B).
  • the flexible layer 14 is printed as colorful motifs that appeal to children and / or adolescents. It has circular regions 141 surrounded by predetermined breaking points, each region 141 being associated with an opening 10 on the front side 12 of the body 11. Some of the area is clearly pressed into the openings 10 'behind you after use.
  • This paper is fixed by being inserted into an edge-side, serving as a holder doubling 17 of the front side 12 from above.
  • front flap designed as a flap must first be opened to make the space created by the doubling accessible.
  • This embodiment of the flexible layer 14 according to the invention has the advantage of being easy and simple to replace in the course of cleaning or emptying the chewing gum supplying device according to the invention. Likewise, this advantageously makes it possible to adapt to the desired target group addressed by simply changing the motifs printed on layer 14.
