Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of waste collection containers, in particular containers for voluntary supply of waste.
  • This type of container is often called an overhead column, for an external container placed on the road, semi-buried column, or buried column, depending on whether it is partially or totally buried. It relates more particularly to containers provided with an access hatch.
  • Such types of container are divided into at least two categories: those intended for the collection of household waste, which cannot be recycled, and those intended for the collection of recyclable waste, that is to say made of plastic, glass, plastic. metal, cardboard, etc.
  • Certain types of containers intended for the collection of household refuse are provided with an access hatch to an opening for introducing the waste of the container, which is movable between an open position giving access to the introduction opening and a closed position closing off the introduction opening.
  • the hatch generally gives access, in the open position, to a waste reception volume communicating with the waste introduction opening.
  • the volume for receiving the waste from the access hatch is most often delimited by at least one substantially flat wall for depositing the waste, as well as by side walls and / or retaining walls, so as to form a container, the bottom of the tank constituting the waste deposit wall.
  • the dimensions of the hatch are designed so that users can place a bag, generally with a volume of several liters, containing their household waste, on the deposit wall.
  • the dimensions of the waste introduction opening are for their part provided to allow the introduction of the bag.
  • the containers intended for the collection of recyclable waste are fitted with an opening for introducing small-sized waste to prevent can put a garbage bag in it. Therefore, users of such containers must introduce their recyclable waste one by one into the opening.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device making it possible to modify an access hatch to an existing container to allow the deposit of a plurality of recyclable waste therein, while limiting the risk of introducing bags of household waste. .
  • the subject of the invention is a device for reducing the volume of an access hatch to an opening for introducing the waste of a waste container, the access hatch being delimited by walls defining, in open position, a waste reception volume communicating with the waste introduction opening, including at least one waste deposit wall, configured to be inserted into said access hatch removably and comprising a deposit surface configured such that, once the volume reduction device is inserted into the access hatch, the deposit surface at least partially covers the waste deposit wall so as to reduce the waste reception volume.
  • Removable here is understood to mean the fact that the volume reduction device does not come as a single unit or permanently integral with the access hatch, in other words that it can be fixed and separated from the access hatch. using appropriate tools with relative ease, for example by means of screwing, riveting, stapling, etc.
  • the term removable does not necessarily imply that the volume reduction device can be removed manually, without tools, in particular by a user.
  • the volume reduction device Thanks to the presence in the access hatch of the volume reduction device, it is possible for the users of the container to deposit a plurality of waste on the deposit surface, without being able to insert a bulky bag in the opening of the container. 'introduction. Indeed, the fact that the reception volume is reduced greatly limits the risks that a bag of household waste, in practice of larger dimensions than a plurality of recyclable waste, is deposited there.
  • volume reduction device due to its removable nature, it is possible to place the volume reduction device in an existing container that it is possible to adapt, thus avoiding its replacement.
  • the waste volume reduction device To prevent the waste volume reduction device from moving during the introduction of the waste and / or the passage of the hatch in the open or closed position, it further comprises means for fixing it to the hatch. access.
  • the deposit surface of the volume reduction device covers the entire waste deposit wall.
  • the deposit surface forms , from the opening for introducing the waste, a slope inclined downward and outwardly of the container.
  • the deposit surface is extended by a rain-proof rim forming an angle with the deposit surface, so that, once the volume reduction device has been inserted into the access hatch, the anti-rain rim forms, from the deposit surface, an upwardly inclined slope.
  • the dimensions of the anti-rain rim are provided so that, once the volume reduction device has been inserted into the access hatch, it completely covers the opening for introducing the waste.
  • the volume reduction device further comprises side flaps configured to extend the side flaps of the access flap.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable when the volume reduction device is placed on an inspection hatch of a waste container to adapt it to the collection of waste.
  • inspection hatch is understood here to mean a hatch allowing a maintenance agent to access the interior of a container in order to inspect the interior of the container. container, possibly accessing means for dismantling the container and performing maintenance operations, but which is not accessible to users to introduce waste into it.
  • This type of inspection hatch is most often provided in the side of the container opposite the side in which the opening for introducing the waste is provided.
  • the inspection hatches not being designed to receive waste, they are generally not provided with side walls of sufficiently large dimensions to prevent the fall, by the side, of waste which would be introduced into the hatch.
  • the deposit surface is mounted to pivot about a pivot axis so that, when the access door is in the closed position, the deposit surface passes into a substantially vertical position. . This allows the waste to be discharged by gravity into the container.
  • the volume reduction device In order to simplify and make less expensive the manufacture of the volume reduction device, it is produced in the form of a folded sheet.
  • the invention also relates to an assembly of an access hatch for an overhead column type waste container, buried or semi-buried, movable between an open position giving access to the introduction opening and a closed position closing off.
  • the introduction opening and a device for reducing the volume of a buried or semi-buried container access hatch characterized in that the volume reduction device is according to the invention.
  • the assembly can receive, without penalizing the deposit of the plurality of waste, in addition a clamping bar arranged in the access hatch so as to overhang the volume reduction device.
  • a clamping bar arranged in the access hatch so as to overhang the volume reduction device. The presence of the bar makes it possible to encumber the reception volume.
  • the latter is delimited by substantially parallel side flaps, and at least one of said side flaps is provided with an outlet opening. of liquid.
  • the invention also relates to a waste container, characterized in that it comprises an assembly according to the invention.
  • the waste container 10 is here a semi-underground waste container and is intended to receive recyclable waste such as glass, paper, metal, plastic material, paper, cardboard, etc. It will be noted that the waste container 10 can just as easily be an overhead column, or buried.
  • the waste container 10 here has a substantially parallelepipedal shape and is provided with an opening 12 for introducing waste (visible on the figure 2 in particular), practiced, in the usual way, in a front flank 14.
  • the waste container 10 further comprises an access hatch 16 to the introduction opening 12, movable between an open position giving access to the introduction opening 12, and a closed position closing off the introduction opening. 12.
  • an access hatch 16 to the introduction opening 12, movable between an open position giving access to the introduction opening 12, and a closed position closing off the introduction opening. 12.
  • the passage from the open position to the closed position takes place by rotation relative to the container 10 about an axis carried by the container 10, not visible in the figures.
  • the access hatch 16 comprises a substantially flat wall for depositing waste 18, side walls 20, which are also substantially flat and parallel to each other, a retaining wall 22, a covering wall 23, and a gripping handle 24 allowing a user grasping it to open the access door 16 by pulling on the handle 24.
  • These walls are all substantially flat.
  • the waste deposit wall 18 makes it possible to receive the waste by forming a support for this waste. It forms, from the introduction opening 12, a slope inclined downward and outwardly of the container 10. This makes it possible to prevent liquids, in particular rainwater, falling into the hatch. 16 on the deposit wall, is introduced into the container via the introduction opening 12. In the closed position, the waste deposit wall 18 covers the introduction opening 12 of the waste. More precisely, its outer surface flush with the side 14 of the container 10.

  • the cover wall 22 also connects the side walls 20. The cover wall 22 thus makes it possible to conceal the opening for introducing waste 12 when the access door 16 is in the closed position.
  • the retaining wall 23 extends, from its distal edge, the covering wall 22 and forms an angle therewith so as to form a slope inclined upwards when the access door 16 is open.
  • the retaining wall 23 also connects the side walls 20. In fact, the waste deposit wall 18 being inclined downwards in the open position, the retaining wall 23 makes it possible to retain the waste placed on the deposit wall 18 to avoid that they do not fall under the effect of gravity.
  • the gripping handle 24 also connects the two side walls 20 and is either arranged in excess thickness with respect to the cover wall 22 so as to be gripping when the access door 16 is closed. However, provision can be made for the gripping handle 24 to protrude from the deposit wall 18 for the waste, for example.
  • the waste deposit wall 18, the side walls 20, the cover wall 22 and the retaining wall 23 define between them a receiving volume V of the waste communicating with the introduction opening 12 of the waste.

  • a user wishing to introduce waste into the container 10 opens the hatch 16 by pulling on the handle 24, which has the effect of making the access hatch 16 pivot around its axis of rotation, making the reception volume V accessible. He can then deposit his waste on the waste deposit wall 18. To close the access door 16, he pushes the waste deposit wall 18, causing it to pivot upwards around the axis of rotation. This has the effect of passing the waste deposited on the deposit wall 18 through the introduction opening 12 and causing the waste to fall into the container 10 under the effect of gravity.
  • volume reduction device 26 In order to prevent bags of household waste, which in practice are larger than a set of recyclable waste such as bottles, cans, cardboard packaging, etc., cannot be introduced into volume V and through the Following in the introduction opening 12, there is in the access hatch 26 a volume reduction device 26 of the hatch.
