ACCESORIO DE APERTURA PARA BOLSAS RECOLECTORAS OPENING ACCESSORY FOR COLLECTION BAGS

DE BASURA OF GARBAGE

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un accesorio especialmente concebido para la apertura de bolsas durante la maniobra de llenado de las mismas con diferentes tipos de basuras o residuos, en orden a simplificar la maniobra de introducción de tales residuos en la bolsa. The present invention relates to an accessory specially designed for opening bags during the filling maneuver thereof with different types of garbage or waste, in order to simplify the maneuver of introducing such waste into the bag.

El accesono está destinado básicamente a bolsas de considerable capacidad, en particular a las utilizadas para la eliminación de los residuos vegetales que se producen en jardines, tanto a nivel público como privado. The access is basically intended for bags of considerable capacity, particularly those used for the disposal of plant waste produced in gardens, both public and private.

El objeto de la invención es consegUIr que el accesono mantenga perfectamente abierta la bolsa de recogida, con su embocadura enrasada con el suelo, permitiendo que la bolsa actúe simultáneamente como recogedor, de manera que la maniobra de limpieza se realiza barriendo directamente hacia el interior de la misma. The object of the invention is to ensure that the accessory keeps the collection bag perfectly open, with its mouthpiece flush with the ground, allowing the bag to act simultaneously as a collector, so that the cleaning maneuver is carried out by sweeping directly into the same.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En zonas ajardinadas, a lo largo del año y en particular en el otoño, sobre el suelo se depositan residuos vegetales, mayoritariamente In landscaped areas, throughout the year and in particular in the fall, plant residues are deposited on the ground, mostly

hojas, si bien tales residuos pueden ir mezclados con otros de diferente leaves, although such residues can be mixed with others of different

origen, en cantidades variables. origin, in variable quantities.

Para la recogida y eliminación de este tipo de residuos se utilizan bolsas de plástico de gran capacidad, que si bien cumplen satisfactoriamente la función contenedora para la que han sido previstas, presentan problemas de llenado. For the collection and disposal of this type of waste, large-capacity plastic bags are used, which, although they satisfactorily fulfill the container function for which they have been provided, present filling problems.

En efecto, las bolsas tienden por su propio peso a adaptarse al suelo, cerrándose su embocadura, de manera que el operario de limpieza debe intentar mantener con una de sus manos la bolsa abierta, mientras que con la otra actúa sobre el elemento barredor. Indeed, the bags tend by their own weight to adapt to the ground, closing their mouth, so that the cleaning operator must try to keep the bag open with one of his hands, while with the other he acts on the sweeping element.

Esto trae consIgo una posición de trabajo para el operano sumamente incomoda, que a la larga puede repercutir en daños sobre su columna vertebral, y además el sistema resulta de escasa efectividad, ya que al sujetarse la bolsa por la zona superior de su embocadura, la zona inferior de la misma no se adapta perfectamente al suelo, con lo que los residuos penetran en la bolsa tan solo de forma parcial, penetrando masivamente en el espacio definido entre la bolsa y el suelo, espacio que se va agrandando progresivamente, lo que incrementa el problema. This brings with it a working position for the extremely uncomfortable operator, which in the long run can result in damage to his spine, and also the system is of little effectiveness, since when the bag is held by the upper area of its mouth, the Lower area of the same does not adapt perfectly to the ground, so that the waste penetrates the bag only partially, penetrating massively in the defined space between the bag and the ground, space that is progressively enlarged, which increases the problem.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

El accesorio de apertura para bolsas recolectoras de basura que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, al asegurar una apertura estable para dicha bolsa, y en condiciones óptimas de adaptación de su embocadura al suelo, con lo que los residuos penetran mayoritariamente en la misma al ser empujados por el elemento barredor. The opening accessory for garbage collection bags that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the above-mentioned problem, by ensuring a stable opening for said bag, and in optimal conditions of adaptation of its mouth to the ground, whereby the waste penetrates mostly in it when pushed by the sweeping element.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta, el accesono que la invención propone está constituido a partir de un marco rectangular, sensiblemente alargado, a tres de cuyos lados se unen abisagradamente respectivas placas capaces de adoptar dos posiciones extremas, una en la que dichas placas quedan incluidas en el plano general del marco y que se corresponde con la situación inoperante del accesorio, en el que éste determina una ocupación volumétrica mínima, y otra en la que tales placas resultan sensiblemente perpendiculares al citado plano general del marco, constituyendo un elemento tubular al que es acoplable la embocadura de la bolsa, de manera que tal embocadura se mantiene perfectamente abierta, con una configuración y dimensiones acordes con las del repetidamente citado marco. For this and in a more concrete way, the access proposed by the invention is constituted from a rectangular frame, substantially elongated, to three of whose sides hinge respective respective plates capable of adopting two extreme positions, one in which said plates remain included in the general plane of the frame and corresponding to the inoperative situation of the accessory, in which it determines a minimum volumetric occupation, and another in which such plates are substantially perpendicular to the aforementioned general plane of the frame, constituting a tubular element to the that the mouthpiece of the bag is attachable, so that such mouthpiece remains perfectly open, with a configuration and dimensions consistent with those of the repeatedly cited frame.

De esta manera y tras el acoplamiento del accesono a la embocadura de la bolsa, el conjunto puede ser apoyado sobre el suelo, en condiciones de recibir directamente los residuos en las maniobras de barrido del operario, sin que éste tenga que sujetar la embocadura de la bolsa. In this way and after coupling the access to the mouth of the bag, the assembly can be supported on the ground, in a position to directly receive the residues in the operator's sweeping maneuvers, without the latter having to hold the mouth of the bag. bag.

Para facilitar esta maniobra, el marco podrá contar con medios de fijación para la bolsa en tres de sus laterales, ya sea mediante clip ado , ganchos o cualquier otro elemento similar. To facilitate this maneuver, the frame may have fixing means for the bag on three of its sides, either by clip, hooks or any other similar element.

Opcionalmente, el marco podrá incorporar una rampa abatible en correspondencia con el lado destinado a entrar en contacto con el suelo, en orden a facilitar las maniobras de barrido. Optionally, the frame may incorporate a folding ramp in correspondence with the side intended to come into contact with the ground, in order to facilitate sweeping maneuvers.
