Abstract

Column of stackable containers, characterized by being constituted by four individual containers of straight prism (1), (2), (3) and (4) stackable and interconnectable form, of which the containers (1) and (2) they have two mouths (5) fixed on their front that protrude from the vertical of the prism with an inclination angle of about 40º. They also have two side handles (6), four interior shelves (7) one in each of its angles recessed with respect to its upper edge the same height as the legs (8) of the container resting on them; while the container (3) is higher than the other two and has a lid (9) with flange, it has on its front two female supports (10) and a safety tab (11) half-hidden behind the upper support, to the which is accessed from inside the container (3). Like the other two, it has four legs, two side handles and two points of attachment and fastening. That said, the coupling of the containers (1), (2) and (3) occurs with the introduction of the container (2) in (1) and (3) in (2) and the assembly or fastening by one of the three options a, b and c pointed out in the description, namely: A) studs on the sides of the containers joined by flanges. B) guides in each of the containers overlapped by a sliding carriage. C) flange in lower container embraced by flap (opener) in upper container. As a result, the container (2) that is in the middle has joining points up and down assembling the containers (3) and (1), while these only have unión from below or above respectively. And that the container (4) of very small size, has two male supports (12) on its front face facing the female supports (10) of the container (3), a cover (13) in the center of which there is a hole with fringes (14) for the entry of batteries and an envelope flap (15) that arises at the intermediate point of the front of said lid (13), with a recess at its end where the security tab (11) is housed; said flap (15) attached to the upper support (12) is inserted next to it in the female support (10) of the container (3), being anchored therein by the safety tab (11) that must be extracted from the inside of the same container (3) to leave the container (4) free. All this in order to achieve a coupling and securing of the four containers (1), (2), (3) and (4) that make up the column in its version (19).

Description

Column of stackable containers.

Object of the invention

This invention, as expressed in the statement of memory, accounts for the composition of four vessels intended for the deposit of various types of solid waste arranged in such a way that they join in a single block forming a recycling column, which has been designed to facilitate the citizen the distribution of waste "inviting" to Collaborate with this good practice.

This column is intended to offer notable advantages over conventional containers as it combines in a just block everything you need for waste recycling occupying the same surface that the garbage can occupies; the difference is that it takes advantage of the space in height. The containers are stacked on top of each other so that they have a good couple better taking advantage of your kitchen space, your House...

They are individual containers and each serves as support to the superior by means of inner shelves (brackets) that They carry in the angles.

The convenience and convenience of coupling them from the bottom up is observed as follows: first that of glass (1), second that of paper (2), third that of plastic (3) and finally that of batteries (4 ), which is coupled to the front of (3). For this we take into account the weight they support and the frequency of
use.

This column provides the comfort required by the citizen in this need, whose collaboration will have a positive impact on the conservation of the Environment: For the benefit of all !

Due to its design, it is very comfortable since no container needs to be lifted or moved to deposit waste. These are deposited directly by the openings or, in the case of the plastic container, by lifting the lid. This column aims to encourage and involve citizens in the practice of recycling, making it as easy as possible
do what.

Background of the invention

Multiple and varied containers are known for solid waste deposit, but all of them individually. Most often they are allocated separately to the deposit of the garbage, plastic, paper, glass ...

There are all kinds and conditions: with cover or without her; with or without a pedal; with handle to without her ..., of different shapes and volumes ... So it is cumbersome to have of all of them at the same time in most of the houses.

In principle, this column is designed to improve the solid waste collection system with the main objective of its use in the home , since that is where the waste begins to be generated and where the recycling chain should begin. But its use can also be extended to the kitchens of bars, restaurants, hotels ... Of course, adapting the sizes to the needs of the service.

Description of the invention

The column is a composition of four stackable containers, which allow to distribute and deposit with ease the solid waste generated in the house, with the added advantage of not having to have a large surface. Resolving in this way the doubt raised by how , how much and where to recycle. For this, the containers are stacked on top of each other with the particularity that they have the same surface in all their bases. They are prisms of rectangular bases. The one of the glass and the one of the papal present in its interior angles some shelves (brackets) that serve as support to the container that is above. Each of the first three has four legs of a certain height that rest on the inner shelves of the container underneath, in turn these shelves are lowered, the same height as the legs, with respect to the upper edge of the container to offer a good coupling.

The battery container is different, it carries cover with hole and supports that adopt a system of safety to prevent accidents in children.

To make easier the description of the containers and their visual understanding we will list them: Glass (1), paper (2), plastic (3) and batteries (4).

They are coupled from the bottom up by the convenience noted above.

Taking into account that its use is preferably for the home, in this case, the most appropriate measure of the column I would be in volume at 1 m. Tall. Making a brief description of the containers, we will say that the glass and the paper are same and they have openings on their front face for waste deposit with capacity for about 18 liters, similar to that of a dustbin. The plastic container would be a slightly taller than the other two with brackets on its front face and lid to store the aesthetic, with capacity for about 24 liters and that of the batteries would be small, about ¾ of a liter, with brackets on its front face and a lid with hole in the center of it.

Once the column was mounted, the glass vessel would be at the base; on top of the paper; on top of it the one of the plastic one and coupled in its frontal the one of the batteries. The two containers above have a lid; the two below would see a mouth, sufficient for the entry of waste, rectangular in shape that protrudes from the vertical of the prism with an inclination angle of about 40 ° above
East.

The plastic container has two supports female overlapping on its front, leaving enough space for attach the male support and the battery flap this being anchored by the semi-hidden security tab after the upper support of the plastic container accessed from inside it so that it is out of reach of children. The two supports are separated a distance convenient.

This security tab has a draft and a enough whip for its function.

The battery container has a lid with circular top groove with fringes to insert the batteries and avoid falling outside them in the case of flip it.

The lid is closed through the flap which envelops the male support leaving both prisoners in the female support of the plastic container by means of the flange security of this one.

The envelope flap has a hollow (hollow) enough to accommodate the draft of the safety tab.

This column allows another option that only affects to plastic and battery containers without changing the system Stacking and coupling. The plastic container would suffer visibly a slight modification: the two supports would disappear and the security tab offering a smooth front.

The battery container would suffer a deeper variation to the point that it would cease to exist as such and would become part of the plastic container to be welded to the underside of its cover, said cover would carry a hole with fringes for the entry of the batteries. Being this container located inside the plastic container would cease to be visible in the eyes of children and therefore quite sure to go unnoticed for them.

The base of the battery holder carries a trapdoor protected by a safety tab from which Remove the batteries.

To complement the description in order to make a visualization of the invention, accompanies the present memory with a set of planes based on the composition of the figures and the security element you enter highlighting the innovation and the advantages of this column.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the aforementioned figures, we can see how the column is constituted by four containers 1, 2, 3 and 4 stackable and attachable with each other and the different forms of union between them. It is not a question of combining the three modalities in the same column, but to show three possibilities of union between them to compose said column. However, the chosen modality is not the most important, but the design of the containers and the column itself, being comfortable, aesthetic, reduced ... Not forgetting the most important: its purpose .

These containers are straight base prisms rectangular, with the peculiarity that 1 and 2 carry in the a rectangular mouthpiece 5 protruding from the front vertical of the prism with an inclination angle of about 40 ° to facilitate the entry of waste. These containers have side handles 6, inner shelves or brackets 7 in each of its angles that support the container above. TO in turn they have four 8 support legs that fit in the container that is underneath, except the container 1 that rests directly on soil.

Vessel 3 is a straight prism of greater size than the previous two and has a cover 9 with a small flap for easy opening. It has four legs like two others, but does not require interior shelves. On its front It has two female brackets 10 and an inner flange 11 half hidden behind the upper support to retain the container 4 without possibility that children can remove it to empty the batteries of its interior

Each of the three containers has two hollow side handles, four legs and one of the three options of union between them.

Some options to attach or join all three containers are:

a) Have two small projections (tacos) in both sides and join them by means of plastic flanges; the 1 I would take them on the top edge, the 2 would take them on the top and in the lower one and 3 would take them only in the lower one.

b) Use guides on both sides of each of containers overlapped by a sliding carriage that allows join them and separate them. Naturally with stops to prevent the car out of its limits, arranged in the same way as the model previous.

c) Flange can also be used in the bottom container, with flap (opener) in the top container that hooks, holds and hugs said
eyelash.

Vessel 4 is a straight-sized prism reduced that is coupled to the front of the container 3.

It has two 12 male brackets that fit the container holders 3 and a lid 13 with inlet hole protected by fringes that prevent the extraction of batteries. The cover 13 also has a peculiar flap 15 in the form of (L) inverted Near the end of said flap there is a hollow (hollow) in which the security tab penetrates. This flap is flame envelope because it envelops the upper support and attaching to he enters together in the upper support of the container 3 remaining anchored by its security tab. Vessel 4 only may be free when extracting security tab 11 from the inside of the container 3.

In the other option that only affects the containers 3 and 4 it is observed that the coupling system of the Containers 1, 2 and 3 remain unchanged.

In the container 3 the supports and the safety tab leaving the front completely smooth.

The container 4 ceases to exist as such, being hidden from view, and becomes part of the container 3 when it is located inside. It is attached to the underside of the lid 9 thereof, with a hole in it protected by fringes at the entrance of
batteries

The container 4 has a trapdoor at the base 16 with safety tab, to remove the batteries, which is housed in the recess 17 of the front face of the container 4.

In this way they are perfectly stacked, coupled and held the four containers 1, 2, 3 and 4 forming the column in its two versions 18 and 19, as represented in the Figures 6 and 7, composed of the four stackable containers and intended for the recycling of glass, paper, plastic and batteries, thus offering the utility for which it has been conceived and the safety necessary to prevent accidents in children more small discarding any possibility of manipulation of batteries
