Description

The invention relates to a disposal system with a waste container which comprises the following: a cassette receiving area, in which a refill cassette containing tubular material can be inserted, a closure mechanism by means of which a bag section of the tubular material protruding from a refill cassette inserted into the cassette receiving area can be closed, an actuating device, by means of which the locking mechanism can be actuated manually, and a locking device by means of which the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device can be blocked, the locking device being set up to block the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in a locking state and/or to block the locking mechanism in a release state and/or release the actuating device.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a system comprising a refill cassette with a cassette housing, within which tubular material is arranged, and an unlocking element for transferring a locking device of a waste container from a locked state to a released state and/or for holding the locking device of the waste container in the released state.

In addition, the invention relates to an unlocking element for converting a locking device of a waste container from a locked state into a locked state release state and/or for holding the locking device of the waste container in the release state.

Waste containers, which are to be used in connection with a refill cassette, are used for the disposal of waste products which occur regularly and/or in comparatively large quantities in households. Corresponding waste containers are used, for example, to dispose of odorous waste products such as diapers or cat litter.

A closure mechanism, by means of which a bag section of a tubular material protruding from a refill cassette can be closed, prevents the odor from escaping from the waste container in the case of corresponding waste containers. This means that appropriate waste containers can also be positioned and used in the living area.

When inserting a new refill cassette into the cassette receiving area of a waste container, the tubular material from the refill cassette is to be passed through the closure mechanism of the waste container, so that the closure mechanism allows the bag portion of the tubular material to be closed. In the case of the known waste containers, the locking mechanism is in a locked state before a new refill cassette is inserted. The closure mechanism of known waste containers can thus be opened manually by a user against a not inconsiderable closing force, so that the tubular material from the refill cassette can be fed through the closure mechanism.

The necessity of having to manually hold the locking mechanism in an open state while changing the cassette makes changing the cassette complicated and impairs the convenience of using the waste container. Especially in the case of locking mechanisms with a high closing force, limbs, such as a finger, can also be trapped when changing the cassette.

The object on which the invention is based is therefore to simplify the insertion of a new refill cassette into a waste container or the replacement of a used refill cassette.

The object is achieved by a disposal system of the type mentioned at the outset, the disposal system according to the invention comprising an unlocking element which is compatible with the locking device of the waste container, the locking device being set up to be switched from the locked state to the unlocked state by the unlocking element and/or by the To be kept unlocking in a release state.

The invention makes use of the knowledge that by blocking the closure mechanism and/or the actuating device, the closure mechanism can be blocked in a state in which the insertion of a new refill cassette or the replacement of a refill cassette that has been used up is simplified. The blocking device can act either directly on the locking mechanism or indirectly, in particular via the actuating device, on the locking mechanism. In particular, the locking mechanism can be blocked in an at least partially open state by means of the blocking device, so that the tubular material from a refill cassette to be inserted can be guided through the at least partially open locking mechanism without the user having to keep it open manually.

By blocking the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device, a specific status of the waste container can also be displayed to the user. For example, the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are blocked by the blocking device when no refill cassette is inserted. The blocking of the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in this case indicates to the user that it is necessary to insert the unlocking element. Furthermore, the waste container can be protected from improper operation by the blocking device.

The waste container preferably has a waste insertion opening through which the bag section from the refill cassette inserted into the cassette receiving area can be guided into a bag receiving area of the waste container and via which waste can be introduced into the bag section. The waste container can be designed, for example, as a diaper pail for disposing of soiled diapers. Alternatively or additionally, the waste bin can be used to dispose of cat litter. The waste to be placed in the bag portion of the tubular material may be, for example, diapers or kitty litter.

According to the invention, the locking device is set up to block the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in a locking state and/or to release the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in a release state. The locking mechanism and/or the actuating device preferably each have one or more moving parts. If the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are blocked, the movement of at least one movable part of the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in at least one direction of movement is preferably blocked by the blocking device. If the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are not blocked by the blocking device, the moving parts of the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are not blocked by the blocking device.

In one embodiment, the disposal system according to the invention comprises a refill cassette which contains tubular material and is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container.

A disposal system according to the invention is also preferred in which the refill cassette has a cassette housing within which the tubular material is arranged, with the unlocking member being reversibly and non-destructively releasably connected to the cassette housing. This means that the refill cassette can also be used in a waste container that does not have a Has recording for the unlocking member. In this case, the unlocking member can be removed from the cassette housing without being damaged.

A disposal system according to the invention is also advantageous in which the unlocking element is formed on the refill cassette. The waste container can consequently be unlocked by means of the unlocking element on the refill cassette. The unlocking element can be, for example, a material projection or a material depression on an outer surface, for example on the bottom or the side surface, of the refill cassette. The unlocking element can be, for example, a material web projecting downwards or laterally outwards, or a material pin projecting downwards or laterally outwards. The unlocking element can be designed to be at least partially circumferential. The cassette receiving area preferably has an at least partially circumferential receiving groove for the unlocking element. The receiving groove is preferably designed to be compatible with the unlocking element.

A disposal system according to the invention is also advantageous in which the cassette receiving area of the waste container has a receiving groove for the unlocking member, the locking device being in the locked state when no unlocking member compatible with the locking device is inserted into the receiving groove. If the unlocking member is formed on the refill cassette, it can be ensured that the waste container is used with suitable refill cassettes. Damage to the waste container through the use of unsuitable refill cassettes is thus effectively avoided. In addition, the locked state alerts the user of the trash can that no refill cartridge or only an unsuitable refill cartridge is inserted in the cartridge receiving area of the trash can.

In a further development of the disposal system according to the invention, the closure mechanism comprises at least one movable closure body which can be brought into an open position, into a closed position and/or into a cassette changing position. In the open position, the bag section is the tubular one protruding from the refill cassette Material released for dumping waste. In the closed position, the bag section of the tubular material protruding from the refill cassette is closed. In the cassette changing position, the closure body is preferably located between the open position and the closed position. Thus, the locking mechanism is preferably only partially open in the cassette changing position. In the open position of the at least one movable closure body, the bag section is preferably completely released. In the open position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste introduction opening of the waste container is preferably completely open. In the closed position of the at least one movable closure body, the bag section is preferably completely closed. In the closed position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste introduction opening of the waste container is preferably completely closed. In the cassette-changing position of the at least one movable closure body, the bag section is preferably partially or incompletely released. In the cassette changing position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste insertion opening of the waste container is preferably partially open.

The disposal system according to the invention is further advantageously developed in that the blocking device is set up to hold the at least one movable closure body of the closure mechanism in the cassette changing position. The locking device is preferably set up to hold the at least one movable locking body of the locking mechanism in the cassette changing position when the locking device is in the locking state.

In another embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the blocking device has a movable blocking body which can be brought into engagement and/or abutment with a movable and preferably spring-loaded part of the closing mechanism and/or the actuating device in order to block the closing mechanism and/or the actuating device. The movable blocking body Locking device thus blocks at least one movable part of the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device in the locking state of the locking mechanism, the blocking being implemented by an engagement and/or a stop.

The disposal system according to the invention is further advantageously developed in that the blocking body is acted upon by a restoring spring with a restoring force which is designed to move the blocking body into a blocking position in which the blocking body blocks the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device if there is no unlocking element acts on the blocking body. When the unlocking member is arranged on a refill cassette, the locking body is in the blocking position when no refill cassette or no suitable refill cassette is inserted in the cassette receiving area of the waste container. In this case, the locking body is held in the blocking position by the restoring force of the restoring spring, so that the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are blocked.

In a further preferred embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the blocking body can be moved by the unlocking element against the restoring force of the restoring spring into a passive position in which the blocking body does not block the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device. When the unlocking member is arranged on a refill cassette, the insertion of the refill cassette causes the locking body to be moved from the blocked position into the passive position by the unlocking member against the restoring force of the restoring spring. The locking body is then held in the passive position by the unlocking element of an inserted refill cassette, so that the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are not blocked. The blocking body preferably has an inclined contact surface, so that the blocking body is moved horizontally, for example, when an unlocking member moves along the inclined contact surface during a vertical movement. Preferably, the unlocking member is pressed against the locking body by a vertical movement, so that the locking body is shifted from the blocking position to the passive position by the unlocking element.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the blocking body is arranged below the cassette receiving area. The blocking body can thus be moved into the passive position via an unlocking element arranged on the bottom of a refill cassette when the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area. Alternatively, the blocking body can also be arranged to the side of the cassette receiving area or above the cassette receiving area.

A disposal system according to the invention is also advantageous in which the closure mechanism has two movable closure bodies designed as closure wings, with a pivoting movement of the closure wings being able to be initiated by means of the actuating device. A bag section of the tubular material protruding from a refill cassette inserted into the cassette receiving area can be clamped between the two pivotable closure bodies. The two pivotable closure bodies are comparatively simple to implement in terms of design and production technology, with pivotable closure bodies being able to bring about an excellent closing effect at the same time. The production costs of the waste container according to the invention are thus significantly reduced, while at the same time an odor escape from the bag section of the tubular material of the refill cassette used is avoided. The waste bin can thus also be positioned in heavily frequented rooms in a household, such as in the kitchen, in a baby changing room or in a child's room. The closure mechanism can also have more than two pivotable closure bodies, for example if the closure bodies are kinematically coupled to one another in the manner of an iris diaphragm.

In a preferred embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the closure body between a Closed position and an open position pivotable. In the closed position, the bag section of the tubular material is clamped by the closing bodies. In the open position, the pouch portion of the tubular material is exposed for the introduction of debris into the pouch portion. The closure bodies are preferably kinematically coupled to one another, so that the closure bodies are always pivoted at the same time. This applies both to an opening movement of the closure body from the closed position to the open position and to a closing movement of the closure body from the open position to the closed position.

The disposal system according to the invention is further developed in an advantageous manner in that the closure bodies are each set up to carry out a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, with the pivot axes preferably running below the cassette receiving area. The pivot axes of the closure bodies preferably run in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, the pivot axes of the closure bodies can be aligned upright or run in the vertical direction. The closure bodies are preferably also arranged below the cassette receiving area and remain entirely below the cassette receiving area even during the execution of a pivoting movement. The pivot axes of the closure bodies are preferably arranged at a distance from one another and/or run parallel to one another. When the closure bodies are in the open position, there is an opening between the pivot axes of the closure bodies, through which the bag section of the tubular material extends. When the closure bodies are in the closed position, the bag section of the tubular material is clamped essentially at the level of the pivot axes of the closure bodies.

A disposal system according to the invention is also preferred in which a pivoting movement of the closure body can be carried out or caused by manual actuation of the actuating device. A pivoting movement of the closure bodies from the closed position into the open position can be carried out by means of the actuating device or induceable. The actuating device and/or the closure body is preferably spring-loaded, with a closing movement of the closure body being able to be implemented by means of the spring loading.

In another embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the actuating device has a movable actuating unit which can be moved, in particular linearly, by an external compressive load. The operating unit is preferably depressible by a user. The actuating unit is preferably partially sunk into a container housing by an external pressure load. The actuating unit can be moved, preferably in the vertical direction, by an external compressive load. The actuating unit can be designed in multiple parts or in one piece.

In a further embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the actuating device has one or more transmission members connecting the actuating unit to the closure bodies, wherein a linear movement of the actuating unit can be converted into a pivoting movement of the closure bodies via the one or more transmission members. A first transmission member is preferably articulated to the actuating unit and a first closure body. A second transmission member is preferably articulated to the actuating unit and a second closure body. The one or more transmission elements can be designed as lever elements, in particular as toggle levers.

In a further development of the disposal system according to the invention, the actuating device has one or more return springs, which apply a closing force to the closure bodies. The closure bodies can be pivoted from the open position into the closed position by means of the one or more return springs. A first return spring is preferably attached to the actuating unit and a first closure body. A second return spring is preferably attached to the actuating unit and a second closure body.

The disposal system according to the invention is also advantageously further developed in that the one or more return springs are articulated on the actuating unit and are set up to move the movable actuating unit back into the starting position after a process by an external compressive load as soon as the external compressive load on the movable actuating unit is released . Alternatively or additionally, the one or more return springs are set up to move the closure body back from the open position to the closed position after opening as soon as the external compressive stress on the movable actuating unit is released. Thus, no further spring elements are required to close the closure body and to reset the actuation unit after actuation has taken place. The closure construction is thus considerably simplified.

In a development of the disposal system according to the invention, the one or more restoring springs and the one or more transmission elements are articulated on the actuating unit and the closure bodies in such a way that a change in length of the one or more restoring springs caused when the closure body is opened is shorter than the travel path of the actuating unit . In addition, the locking mechanism makes use of the toggle effect. When the closure body is in the closed position, one or more of the transmission members are in an upright orientation. The inclination of the one or more transmission members increases with increasing opening angle of the closure body. The travel path of the actuating unit is therefore longer than the movement path of the pivot points of the one or more transmission elements on the closure bodies. This ratio of the travel of the actuating unit and the movement of the pivot points of the one or more transmission members on the closure bodies results in a leverage effect, which means that the force required to actuate the actuating device, i.e. to move the actuating unit, is reduced.

In another embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the actuating unit is designed in multiple parts, with a contact body of the actuating unit being movable relative to a base body of the actuating unit. The contact body is preferably guided in the base body or the base body in the contact body. The contact body provides a contact surface for the actuation of the actuating device by a user, wherein the contact surface is to be subjected to pressure by a user for actuation. The contact body is preferably set up to be operated by a user's hand. When there is a relative movement of the contact body and the base body, these are either pushed into one another or pulled apart.

In a further preferred embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the contact body and the base body are kinematically coupled to one another, with the kinematic coupling of the contact body and the base body having a play of movement, so that the contact body can be moved along a section of a movement path without the base body moving. When moving beyond this section of the movement path, the contact body and the base body move uniformly without relative movement. A return spring is preferably arranged between the contact body and the base body of the actuating unit, by means of which the contact body can be moved relative to the base body.

In addition, a disposal system according to the invention is preferred which has a pivotable container lid. The pivotable container cover is preferably set up to cover a waste introduction area of the waste container in a closed state, it being possible for the container cover to be opened by means of the actuating device. The container lid is preferably spring loaded. With the actuating device, both the closure mechanism can be actuated and the container lid can be opened.

The container lid is preferably locked in the closed state, with the locking of the container lid being able to be released by means of the actuating device. In particular, the container lid is connected to a lid spring, the lid spring causing an opening movement of the container lid as soon as the locking of the container lid is released.

In another embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the container lid is latched in the closed state, with the lid latching being able to be released to open the container lid by moving the contact body along the partial section of its movement path in which it can be moved without moving the base body. By releasing the lid latch, an opening movement of the container lid is initiated. The opening movement of the container lid results from a lid spring which is coupled to the container lid. Because the lid latching for opening the container lid is released by moving the contact body along the section of a movement path in which it can be moved without moving the base body, the lid can be opened independently of the opening of the closure mechanism, without the need for separate controls are required. The convenience of using the waste container is thus increased considerably. Furthermore, there is a reduction in the number of parts and thus reduced assembly costs.

In a development of the disposal system according to the invention, the closure bodies together form a trough-shaped receiving surface for receiving waste in the closed position. The waste product to be introduced into the bag section of the tubular material can thus be placed by the user on the trough-shaped receiving surface of the closure body before actuating the actuating device. Actuating the actuating device causes a pivoting movement of the closure body, so that the waste product positioned on the receiving surface falls down into the bag section of the tubular material. Due to the return springs, the closure bodies are pivoted back into the closed position after the actuation of the actuating device has ended.

A disposal system according to the invention is also advantageous in which the closure bodies each have a contact area, the contact areas of the closure bodies clamping the bag section between them in the closed position. In the closed position, the contact areas of the closure bodies preferably run centrally between the pivot axes of the closure bodies.

A disposal system according to the invention is also advantageous in which the contact areas of the closure bodies each have a contact contour, the contact contours together forming a closure labyrinth when the closure bodies are in the closed position. The closure labyrinth defines one or more steps and/or one or more material projections and/or indentations between the closure bodies, through which the tubular material is deflected, kinked and/or folded one or more times between the closure bodies. The closure labyrinth thus ensures an increased tightness of the closure of the bag portion of the tubular material. As a result, for example, the escape of unpleasant odors from the bag section of the tubular material is avoided or at least significantly reduced. The contact contours can also increase the opening resistance of the closure body under external stress. Alternatively or in addition to the contact contours, one or more magnets can also be arranged in the contact areas of the respective closure body, with the one or more magnets in the contact area of one closure body and the one or more magnets in the contact area of the other closure body preferably mutually put on.

A disposal system according to the invention is also preferred in which the waste container has a waste introduction opening. The bag section can be passed through the waste insertion opening into a bag receiving area of the waste container and waste can be introduced into the bag section. The waste introduction opening can preferably be closed by means of the closing mechanism. In particular, the waste introduction through the Closure body closed when the closure body are in the closed position. The waste introduction opening is preferably not closed by the closure bodies when the closure bodies are in the open position. When the closure bodies are in the open position, waste can thus be introduced into the bag section via the waste introduction opening. The waste is preferably introduced into the bag section by a user placing a waste product on the closure body which is in the closed position before the user actuates the actuating device. Due to the actuation of the actuating device, the closure bodies are pivoted into the open position, so that the waste product falls down into the bag section due to gravity.

The closure bodies can be brought into the cassette changing position, in which the closure bodies are preferably in the open position or between the open position and the closed position. The locking bodies can be held in the cassette changing position by means of the locking device.

The waste container preferably has a container housing. The container housing preferably comprises a bag receiving part which provides a bag receiving area, the bag receiving area serving to receive the bag section to be filled with waste. The case body preferably includes a cassette receiving portion which provides the cassette receiving area. The locking mechanism and/or the actuating device are attached to the cassette receiving part or are integrated into the cassette receiving part. The cassette receiving part is reversibly and non-destructively releasably attached to the bag receiving part. The container body includes a lid assembly that includes the container lid. The lid assembly is reversibly and non-destructively releasably attached to the cassette receiving portion.

The object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a system of the type mentioned above, wherein the unlocking element is detached from the Cassette housing is formed so that the refill cartridge can be used without the unlocking member in a waste container, which has no receptacle for the unlocking member.

In a preferred embodiment of the disposal system according to the invention, the refill cassette has a cassette housing within which the tubular material is arranged. An unlocking member compatible with the locking device of the waste container is preferably arranged on the cassette housing, the locking device being held in a released state by the unlocking member of the refill cassette set in the cassette receiving area of the waste container. When the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container, the blocking device is preferably switched from a blocked state to the released state by the unlocking element. In the locked state of the locking device, the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device is/are blocked by the locking device. In the release state of the blocking device, the locking mechanism and/or the actuating device is not blocked by the blocking device.

The object on which the invention is based is also achieved by an unlocking element of the type mentioned at the outset, the unlocking element being set up to be used in a disposal system according to one of the embodiments described above and/or in a system according to one of the embodiments described above. With regard to the advantages and modifications of the unlocking element according to the invention, reference is therefore made to the advantages and modifications of the disposal system according to the invention and the advantages and modifications of the system according to the invention.

The Figures 1 and 2 show a disposal system 200 with a waste container 10 and a refill cassette 100 inserted into the waste container 10. The disposal system 200 can be used, for example, to dispose of soiled diapers or to dispose of cat litter.

The refill cassette 100 includes tubular material 104 from which waste bags can be formed. The tubular material 104 can be a film tube, for example.

The waste container 10 has a multi-part container housing 12 made of plastic. The container body 12 includes two bag receiving portions 14a, 14b which provide a bag receiving area 40. As shown in FIG. The bag receiving area 40 serves to receive a bag section 112 to be filled with waste of the tubular material 104 provided by the refill cassette 100 . The refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the cassette receiving part 16 . The cassette receiving part 16 is pivotally attached to the bag receiving part 14b. Via the pivotable attachment of the cassette receiving part 16 to the bag receiving part 14, the bag receiving area 40 provided by the bag receiving parts 14a, 14b can be made accessible to a user, so that the user can remove a bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 filled with waste from the bag receiving area 40.

Furthermore, an actuating device 24 and a locking mechanism 36 of the waste container 10 are attached to the cassette receiving part 16 . A bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 protruding from the refill cassette 100 can be closed by means of the closure mechanism 36 . means of the actuating device 24, the locking mechanism 36 can be actuated manually.

The container body 12 further includes a lid assembly 18 that includes a container lid 20 . The container lid 20 is pivotably attached to a lid receptacle 22 and is spring-loaded in the closed state, so that an opening movement of the container lid 20 can be caused by the release of a lid lock. The cover assembly 18 is reversibly and non-destructively releasably attached to the cassette receiving portion 16 . Opening of the container lid 20 can be initiated by means of the actuating device 24 .

At the in the 1 illustrated state of the waste container 10 is the pivotable container lid 20 in a closed state. In the closed state, the bin lid 20 covers a debris insertion portion 70 of the debris container 10. The debris insertion portion 70 of the debris container 10 is for receiving debris for disposal before the debris for disposal is transferred into the bag portion 112 of the tubular material 104.

By manually operating the actuator 24 can be in the 2 cause the state of the waste container 10 shown, in which the container lid 20 is open and the waste introduction area 70 of the waste container 10 releases. A funnel surface 28 , which is part of the cover receptacle 22 , is located within the waste introduction area 70 . The waste container 10 also has a waste introduction opening 30 through which waste can be introduced into the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 .

The waste container 10 in the Figures 3 to 6 The disposal system 200 shown has a closure mechanism 36 with two pivotable closure bodies 38a, 38b. Furthermore, the waste container 10 comprises a cassette receiving area 32 (concealed) in which a refill cassette 100 containing tubular material 104 can be inserted. A refill cartridge 100 inserted into the cartridge receiving area 32 protruding bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 can be clamped between the closure bodies 38a, 38b. In this exemplary embodiment, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are designed as pivotable closure wings.

At the in the Figures 3 and 4 In the states shown, no refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 .

At the in the 3 In the state shown, the container lid 20 is closed, so that a waste introduction area 70 of the waste container 10 is covered by the container lid 20 .

At the in the 4 State shown, the container lid 20 of the waste container 10 is open, so that the waste introduction area 70 is released. The closure bodies 38a, 38b are in a partially open state, this state being referred to as the cassette changing position. In the cassette changing position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b, the waste insertion opening 30 of the waste container 10 is only partially open. The waste container 10 has a locking device 50 (concealed) by means of which the closure bodies 38a, 38b are held in the cassette-changing position when no refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette-receiving area 32 of the waste container 10. A bag section 112 of a refill cassette 100 to be inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 can be conveniently passed through the waste introduction opening 30 through the partially opened waste introduction opening 30 . After the pouch portion 112 is passed through the debris insertion opening 30, the refill cartridge 100 can be inserted into the cartridge receiving area 32 of the debris container 10. FIG. By inserting the refill cassette 100 into the cassette receiving area 32, the blocking device 50 of the waste container 10 is transferred from a blocked state to a released state, so that the closure bodies 38a, 38b execute a pivoting movement to close the waste introduction opening 30.

At the in the figure 5 shown state of the waste container 10 are the closure body 38a, 38b in a closed position in which the Waste introduction opening 30 and a bag portion 112 of a tubular material 104 extending through the waste introduction opening 30 are completely closed by the closure bodies 38a, 38b. In this state, a waste product to be discarded, such as a diaper, can be placed in the waste introduction portion 70 . By actuating the actuating device 24, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are brought into an open position.

At the in the 6 shown state are the closure body 38a, 38b in the open position. In the open position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b, the waste introduction opening 30 and thus also the bag section 112 extending through the waste introduction opening 30 are exposed. A waste product positioned in the waste introduction area 70 thus falls down into the bag portion 112 of the tubular material 104 under the influence of gravity. After the actuation of the actuating device 24 has ended, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are moved back into the closed position, so that the waste introduction opening 30 and the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 extending through the waste introduction opening are closed.

The 7 12 shows a waste container 10 with no refill cassette 100 inserted in the cassette receiving area 32. FIG. Due to the fact that no refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32, the pivotable closure bodies 38a, 38b are held by a locking device 50 of the waste container 10 in a partially open cassette changing position.

The 8 12 shows that in order to insert a refill cassette 100 into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, the cover assembly 18 must first be removed. The lid assembly 18 is attached to the cassette receiving portion 16 of the case housing 12 via a clip or clamp connection. The attachment can be released by flipping over the lever 84 so that the cover assembly 18 can be lifted off the cassette receiving part 16 .

The 8 FIG. 12 also shows a housing hinge 46 by which the cassette receiving part 16 is pivotally attached to the bag receiving part 14b of the case housing 12. FIG. The housing hinge 46 allows the cassette receiving part 16 to be pivoted about the pivot axis 48.

The 9 12 shows a refill cassette 100 which is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 by a vertical movement.

The refill cassette 100 has a cassette housing 102 which has a circumferential material receiving area 106 . Tubular material 104 , namely a film tube, is arranged within the material receiving area 106 . An unlocking member 108 is arranged on the bottom of the cassette housing 102 and is designed to unlock a locking device 50 of the waste container 10 , the locking device 50 blocking a locking mechanism 36 and an actuating device 24 of the waste container 10 . The unlocking member 108 is an integral part of the cassette housing 102. Namely, the cassette housing 102 and the unlocking member 108 are components of a one-piece plastic injection molded part. In an alternative embodiment of the refill cassette 100, the unlocking element 108 can also be connected to the cassette housing 102 in a positive, non-positive and/or material connection.

The unlocking member 108 is a projection of material on the underside of the cassette housing 102, the projection of material being a circumferential web of material. In other embodiments, the unlocking element 108 can also be in the form of a pin or bolt and/or can be arranged on the peripheral outer wall of the cassette housing 102 .

The 10 FIG. 12 shows the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, with the refill cassette 100 to be lowered further to complete the insertion process of FIG. The cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 has a circumferential receiving groove 42 for the unlocking element 108 . To complete the insertion process, the encircling unlocking member 108 is to be inserted into the encircling receiving groove 42 .

The 11 shows that a blocking body 52 of the blocking device 50 of the waste container 10 is located in a section of the circumferential receiving groove 42 . The locking body 52 is slidably supported between a wall portion of the cassette accommodating part 16 and a support body 66 which is inserted into the cassette accommodating part 16 along a horizontal movement path. The blocking body 52 has an inclined contact surface 54 so that the blocking body 52 is moved along its horizontal path of movement when the unlocking member 108 is inserted into the receiving groove 42 of the waste container 10 . The blocking body 52 is arranged below the cassette receiving area 32 so that the blocking body 52 can be moved from the blocking position shown into a passive position via the unlocking member 108 arranged on the bottom of the refill cassette 100 . The locking body 52 is held in the passive position shown by the return spring 56 if no unlocking member 108 is inserted into the receiving groove 42 .

The blocking body 52 blocks a spring-loaded part of the actuating device 24. The part of the actuating device 24 blocked by the blocking body 52 is an actuating unit 26 which can be moved in the vertical direction, in particular linearly, when actuated by a user. The operating unit 26 can be pressed down by a user in the unlocked state. In the locked state shown, the actuating unit 26 is already in a depressed state and is held in this state by the locking body 52 . An upward movement of the actuating unit 26, which can be caused by return springs 82a, 82b on the closure bodies 38a, 38b and could also be supported by a spring between the base body 60 and the support body 66, is prevented by the blocking body 52. The actuating unit 26 is designed in several parts and comprises a contact body 58 and a base body 60. The contact body 58 provides a contact surface for the actuation of the actuating device 24 by a user, wherein the contact surface for actuation is to be claimed by a user under pressure. The contact body 58 and the base body 60 of the actuating unit 26 are kinematically coupled to one another in such a way that during a relative movement of the Contact body 58 and the base body 60 are pushed into each other or apart.

The 12 and 13 12 show a state in which the insertion operation of the refill cassette 100 into the cassette receiving portion 32 of the waste container 10 is completed. The unlocking element 108 designed as a circumferential web is now located in the circumferential receiving groove 42. During insertion into the circumferential receiving groove 42, the unlocking element 108 has deflected the locking body 52 in the direction of the interior of the container.

The movement of the blocking body 52 in the horizontal direction caused the blocking body 52 to move from the blocking position to the passive position against the restoring force of the restoring spring 56, with the blocking body 52 not blocking the locking mechanism 36 and the actuating device 24 in the passive position. The locking bodies 38a, 38b of the locking mechanism 36 are thus no longer held in the cassette changing position and are pivoted into a locking position via return springs 82a, 82b.

In the 13 A test element 110 arranged on the underside of the cassette housing 102 is also shown. The test element 110 is designed as a material pin and is received by a recess in the cassette receiving area 32 when the refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 . It can thus be checked via the checking element 110 whether the waste container 10 is compatible with the refill cassette 100 .

The 14 12 shows the waste container 10 with the refill cartridge 100 fully inserted. Since the actuator 24 is now no longer blocked by the locking device 50, the actuator 26 is in an undepressed condition. The 14 also shows a component of a release mechanism 34, via which a jamming of the cassette receiving part 16 on the bag receiving part 14b of the container housing 12 can be released.

After the tubular material 104 from the refill cassette 100 has been passed through the waste insertion opening 30 and the refill cassette 100 has been inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, the cover assembly 18 can be placed back onto the cassette receiving part 16. After the cover assembly 18 has been attached to the cassette receiving part 16, the cassette changeover is complete and the disposal system 200 can be used to dispose of waste products.

In order to introduce waste products into the tubular material 104 from the refill cassette 100, the container lid 20 must first be opened so that the waste introduction area 70 is exposed.

The 15 shows that the container lid 20 is latched in the closed state, with a lid latch 68 for opening the container lid 20 by moving the contact body 58 can be released. The kinematic coupling of the contact body 58 and the base body 60 has a play of movement, so that the contact body 58 can be moved along a section of its movement path without a movement of the base body 60 . To open the container lid 20, the contact body 58 is to be moved along the partial section of its movement path along which the contact body 58 can be moved without the base body 60 moving.

At the in the 16 In the state shown, the contact body 58 was pressed down by a user without the base body 60 moving. The vertical movement of the contact body 58 released the lid latch 68 so that the spring-loaded container lid 20 is released and is pivoted into an open position due to a spring force. If the contact body 58 is relieved after opening the container lid 20, the contact body 58 is moved back to the starting position by the additional spring 64.

After pivoting open the container lid 20, the disposal system 200 is in the 17 shown condition. In this state, the refill cartridge 100 protrudes from the inserted cartridge Bag section 102 of the tubular material 104 clamped between the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A waste product, such as a diaper, can now be inserted into the waste insertion area 70 of the waste container 10.

That in the 17 The separating knife shown is attached reversibly and non-destructively inside the container housing 12 . The severing knife 44 can be used to sever the tubular material 104 when the bag portion 112 has been filled with waste products.

The 18 shows that the closure bodies 38a, 38b designed as closure wings together form a trough-shaped receiving surface 72 for receiving waste in the closed position. The closure bodies 38a, 38b each have a contact region 74a, 74b, the contact regions 74a, 74b of the closure bodies 38a, 38b clamping the bag section 112 between them in the closed position. The contact areas 74a, 74b of the closure bodies 38a, 38b each have a contact contour 76a, 76b, the contact contours 76a, 76b together forming a closure labyrinth in the closed position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b. The closure labyrinth defines several steps between the closure bodies 38a, 38b, through which the tubular material 104 is repeatedly deflected between the closure bodies 38a, 38b to increase the tightness. Alternatively or in addition to the contact contours 76a, 76b, one or more magnets can also be arranged in the contact areas 74a, 74b of the respective closure body 38a, 38b, with the one or more magnets being located in the contact area 74a of one closure body 38a and the one or the multiple magnets in the contact area 74b of the other closure body 38b attract each other.

The 19 and 20 show that the closure bodies 38a, 38b are each set up to perform a pivoting movement about a pivot axis 78a, 78b, the pivot axes 78a, 78b running below the cassette receiving area 32. The pivot axes 78a, 78b of Closure bodies 38a, 38b are arranged at a distance from one another and run parallel to one another. A pivoting movement of the closure bodies 38a, 38b can be initiated by manually actuating the actuating device 24. The closure bodies 38a, 38b can be pivoted by means of the actuating device 24 from the closed position shown into an open position.

The actuating device 24 has two transmission elements 80a, 80b connecting the actuating unit 26 to the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A linear movement of the actuating unit 26 can be converted into a pivoting movement of the closure bodies 38a, 38b via the transmission members 80a, 80b. A first transmission member 80a is articulated to the actuator unit 26 and a first closure body 38a. A second transmission member 80b is articulated to the actuator unit 26 and a second closure body 38b.

Furthermore, the actuating device 24 has a plurality of restoring springs 82a, 82b, which apply a closing force to the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A first return spring 82a is attached to the actuating unit 26 and the first closure body 38a. A second return spring 82b is attached to the actuating unit 26 and the second closure body 38b. Consequently, pressing down the actuating unit 26 causes the closure bodies 38a, 38b to swing open.

The resulting open position of the closure body 38a, 38b is in the 21 shown. Thus, the bag portion 112 and the waste introduction opening 30 are no longer closed by the closing bodies 38a, 38b. A waste product which was placed in the waste introduction region 70 prior to actuation of the actuator 24 will now fall down into the bag portion 112 of the tubular material 104 under the influence of gravity. The pouch portion 112 is located in the pouch receiving area 40 of the container housing 12.

The 22 and 23 show how the transmission members 80a, 80b convert the vertical movement of the actuating unit into a pivoting movement of the Closure body 38a, 38b have transferred. After the actuation of the actuating device 24 has ended, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are pivoted again from the open position into the closed position by means of the return springs 82a, 82b. After closing the waste introduction opening 30 and the bag section 112, further waste products can be placed in the waste introduction area 70 in order to transfer them into the bag section 112.

The Figures 24 and 25 show an actuating device 24 and a locking mechanism 36. In FIG 24 the actuating unit 26, which can be moved in the vertical direction, is in a starting position and the closure bodies 38a, 38b of the closure mechanism 36 are in the closed position. In the 25 the actuating unit 26 is in a downwardly displaced state after the actuating device 24 has been actuated, and the closure bodies 38a, 38b of the closure mechanism 36 are in the open position.

The transmission members 80a, 80b and the return springs 82a, 82b are articulated on the actuating unit 26 and on the closure bodies 38a, 38b. The return springs 82a, 82b are set up to move the movable actuating unit 26 back to the starting position after a movement due to an external pressure load and to move the closure bodies 38a, 38b back from the open position to the closed position after opening, as soon as the external pressure load of the movable operating unit is dissolved. A change in length of the return springs 82a, 82b caused when the closure bodies 38a, 38b are opened is shorter than the travel of the actuating unit 26. In the closed closed position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b, the transmission members 80a, 80b are in an upright orientation. The inclination of the transmission members 80a, 80b increases as the opening angle of the closure bodies 38a, 38b increases. The path of travel of the actuating unit 26 is therefore longer than the path of motion of the articulation points of the transmission members 80a, 80b on the closure bodies 38a, 38b. Due to this ratio of the travel of the actuating unit 26 and the movement path of the articulation points of the transmission members 80a, 80b on the closure bodies 38a, 38b, there is a leverage effect which leads to the force required to actuate the actuating device 24 being reduced.
