Description

Recycling Furniture

Technical sector of the invention

The recycler furniture object of the present description belongs to the sector of the container technique for

domestic waste, specifically to the sector of the technique of containers or receptacles for domestic waste that allow them to be classified by fractions to facilitate their subsequent recycling.

Background of the invention

A multitude of receptacles for household waste of the most well-known are well known in the state of the art

various shapes, colors and materials that allow you to store waste and avoid, in some cases, the

pollution of the places where such waste is generated.

With the emergence of the global need to care for and protect the environment, which implies the recycling and reuse of urban waste, the new need for a receptacle for domestic waste has emerged that allows the different types of waste to be separated into the indicated fractions, by relevant authorities or by

own users, for later recycling and use. These fractions are preferably residues

organic, glass, containers, paper and cardboard, waste or non-recyclable waste and special, which are waste

that due to their toxicity or other special characteristics, they must be delivered to suitable sites for treatment such as ecoparks, clean or green spots, etc.

The first solution that was given for the classification of said waste fractions was the use of several containers differentiated by colors, according to their public container counterparts, and that they should

accommodate on the floor, taking up a lot of space.

The second solution that was offered was to include in the same receptacle a maximum of four partitions or

colored pails, according to four of the colors of their public container counterparts, which

allowed to classify a maximum of four waste fractions, preventing the separation and storage of two of the aforementioned fractions. In the case of smaller receptacles, said four

partitions or colored buckets, entailed a significant reduction in the volume of waste that could be stored in them and, in the case of larger receptacles, in addition to the difficulty of finding a space to accommodate them, lacking wheels sacrificed so permanent said space, they offered

uselessly the same storage capacity for the four fractions, when in reality the same proportion of waste from each of the fractions is not generated.

Recycling furniture solves these problems and offers new advantages in an easy, comfortable, hygienic and intuitive way.

Description of the invention

The recycler furniture is a piece of furniture, both auxiliary and integrable in the kitchen furniture in general, of drawers, said drawers for their design and use will be called buckets, which has a parallelepiped shape and the possibility of mounting and dismantling it from separate elements , which comprises one or more columns of cuvettes, one or more rows of cuvettes and a structure where said cuvettes are housed.

The elements of the recycler furniture incorporate joining devices between said tongue and groove elements to ensure that said elements can be assembled and disassembled. This type of union, which does not incorporate screws or adhesive glues, prevents oxidation of the former and damage to the environment and the health of the people who produce the latter. In addition, this screwless mounting system facilitates its transport and assembly, as well as the easy replacement of any of its damaged parts or pieces, for example due to misuse or due to the passage of time, with a new one.

The recycler furniture incorporates galces in its structure, where the lateral males that each of the buckets fit together, by way of guiding devices of said buckets in their corresponding grooves. The design of said galces also serves as a means of locking and roll-over system, which prevents the

cuvettes out of their corresponding guidance devices unless their user wants to extract them from

said guiding devices must then simultaneously press the central part of the sides of each of the cuvettes until the aforementioned males that each one of them incorporates from their respective grooves are able to disengage from their respective grooves.

The upper face of the structure is a food cutting board, removable and replaceable with a new one at the end of its useful life, which allows the manipulation of the organic fraction and which can have one or more holes properly located, so that they are above the corresponding bucket, to facilitate the throwing of

different fractions to their corresponding cuvettes, at least one of said holes has a lid that fits with one of said holes to avoid both bad odors and visual contact with waste. This

food cutting board is located at the same height as most kitchen countertops, both to facilitate handling and subsequently throwing away organic waste and to gain work area in

the kitchen.

The recycler furniture can incorporate as an accessory at least one recycling guide projected on an adhesive

or flexible magnet that, optionally, your user can hook on the top face of the lid or one of the covers fitted in the holes of the food cutting board, top face of the recycle cabinet This recycling guide shows photographs of the residues that more are generated in homes, superimposed on strips of

different colors, which are in agreement with both the colors of the accessory pieces that, by way of

labels, incorporates the furniture recycler, as possibly with the colors of public containers. In this way, easy and intuitive, the recycling guide gives the recycler furniture the ability to inform its user in order to promote the correct placement of each of the waste that is usually generated,

avoiding cross-contamination both in the recycle furniture buckets and afterwards in their

Public container counterparts.

The recycler furniture incorporates small accessory pieces, as labels, differentiated by

colors, preferably two accessory pieces of each color. These colors agree with both

Color strips of the recycling guide that can equip the recycle cabinet as possibly with the colors of the public containers. Each of these accessory pieces, by way of labels, incorporates a series of Braille alphabet highlights that indicate the name of their corresponding fraction of waste. Each of these accessory parts, as labels, can be placed by the user of the recycle furniture on the upper face of the handle of each bucket for personalization of use, depending on both the number of waste fractions and the volume of the same that you need to deposit in these buckets. In this way, the recycle furniture allows its user to identify and order separately any of the waste fractions that he needs to classify and even, at least, be able to double the storage capacity of some or some of the waste fractions.

All the trays that the recycle cabinet incorporates can have the same storage capacity.

Each of the buckets that incorporates the recycle furniture allows its personalization of use, depending on both

of the number of fractions of waste as of the volume of the same that we need to deposit in said

cuvettes Said personalization of use is possible, thanks to the recessed in the upper face of the handle that incorporates each of the above-mentioned buckets and which serves as the base where the user can place any of

the aforementioned accessory pieces of different colors, as labels, that incorporate a series

of Braille alphabet highlights indicating the name of their corresponding waste fraction.

Said handle, in combination with the placement in said pocket of said accessory piece incorporating the

Braille highlights, facilitates the extraction and insertion of each of the trays in the structure of the recycler furniture, acting as a rough fastening band.

Each of the buckets that incorporates the recycle furniture can have fasteners suitable for both garbage bags and standard bags used in supermarkets and the like.

Although none of the buckets need, necessarily, plastic bags for use. The waste can be deposited directly in them without this affecting, in any way, its durability and efficiency. Such buckets can be waterproof and resist leachate and chemical agents that contain cleaning products. To facilitate washing, they can have their rounded interior contours.

Each of the buckets can have a folding handle, as a basket, to facilitate its transfer and emptying into public containers.

The recycle furniture can incorporate as an accessory a funnel for the recycling of domestic oil. This funnel has a filter, safety cap with airtight seal and a permanent coupling mechanism to the mouth of the common bottles of water and soda of 1.5 to 2 liters to be able to pour used cooking oil into them.

The recycle furniture can equip, depending on the size of its structure, three or more wheels fixed on the underside of said structure that can be adjustable and have brake devices. These wheels facilitate its transfer, even at full load, to any area or room where its use is required and also

provide the recycler furniture with a mobility that facilitates that said recycle furniture does not occupy or sacrifice in a fixed and indefinite manner any specific space of our home or workplace.

In case, if the user prefers that his recycler furniture always remain static, said furniture can

5 incorporate legs instead of wheels.

Recycling furniture is an environmentally friendly product throughout its life cycle, design, production, use and disposal, with the aim of sharing and projecting identical values to those of its use. All materials with which it may be manufactured may have a Life Cycle Certificate, not

10 involve deforestation and do not require maintenance since they are preferably:

•

waterproof, do not let water or moisture pass,

•

anticorrosive, they do not deteriorate under the action of leachate, not of chemical products,

•

they can't rot, they don't rot in the air or in contact with the earth and the water

•
