Description

DESCRIPTION

Cabinet with storage bag, complementary to a container crusher, for selective recycling of PET plastic

Technical object of the invention

The present invention refers to a cabinet with a storage bag, intended to be associated with any type of container crushing devices. The cupboard has an entrance mouth, in the upper part, so that the crushed containers fall directly into the storage bag arranged inside. Once the bag is full, it is accessed through a front door and it is closed and removed to transport it to a specific recycling container of those available in the population. The filled bag takes the form of a flexible straight cylinder whose dimensions are designed so that it can be easily inserted into the container.

Technical field to which the invention relates

The invention that is presented affects the Section of Miscellaneous Industrial Techniques, of the International Patent Classification (CIP), transport and maintenance chapter in the section concerning maintenance, packaging, storage and handling of materials. From an industrial point of view, it affects the companies involved in recycling operations.

Background of the invention

Following the ordinances and recommendations of the government and local authorities in relation to promoting respect for the environment through the recycling of materials, there are more and more devices in private homes, public centers, bars, hotels and catering establishments. to facilitate a prior selection of garbage, waste and other products that are generated daily. Once this first selection has been made, it is poured into the specific containers provided for this purpose in all towns.

Many of these devices are registered in the Patent Offices with documents that describe multiple solutions. The traditional rubbish bin existing in all public and private establishments as well as in private homes has been transformed into a multiple bin of two, three or four small containers where the different waste products are dumped. The different registered solutions differ in the shape or arrangement of these containers, the opening and closing system, accessories for the automatic replacement of the existing plastic bags inside all of them, different characteristics of said bags in terms of their means of closure, colors, docking in the container and even scented.

The inventor who proposes what is described in this document, has not found any similar solution in the current state of the art, to facilitate recycling based on gathering groups of plastic or aluminum containers in large quantities or at least, much greater than the current unitary pieces, which is why he considers that it is an interesting innovation in the field of recycling.

The inventor intends with this idea to make a contribution that improves the recycling process of plastic containers, reinforcing the culture of what is known today as economy. circular that, little by little, is being established with greater perfection in all the countries of the world, displacing the old linear economy of "use and throw away".

Summary description of the invention

As previously indicated, the invention refers to a cabinet with a storage bag, which allows a significant number of previously crushed PET plastic containers to be grouped in any existing machine for this purpose. This eliminates the tedious, slow and low-performance work of throwing PET containers one by one into the container without crushing.

The invention basically includes two main elements which are the cabinet and the storage bag. The cabinet is in the shape of a straight prism with a square base with approximate dimensions of 25 x 25 x 100 cm. Made of sheet metal or plastic, it has an opening in the upper base and a door on the front or on one of its sides. The upper opening or mouth allows crushed containers to enter the bag and the door allows the removal of the storage bag, once it has been filled.

Inside the cabinet there are means to ensure the holding of the storage bag during the filling process.

The cabinet and bag set is designed to be associated with a commercially available container crushing machine, which would be located in the upper part of the cabinet in such a way that, once each container has been crushed, it can be poured through the top mouth of the cabinet for the progressive filling of the storage bag.

In the section of drawings that is included below, as an inseparable part of the document, the solution conceived by the inventor is schematically shown without prejudice to the fact that small modifications can be introduced that do not alter the essence of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Three figures are included, which are considered sufficient for the correct interpretation of the invention.

Detailed explanation of an embodiment of the invention

Cabinet with a storage bag, complementary to a container crusher, for the selective recycling of PET plastic, which in an embodiment preferred by its inventor, consists of a cabinet (1) with a storage bag (7), intended to be associated to any type of container crushing machines (8).

In (Fig.1), the assembly of cabinet (1), bag (7) and crushing machine (8) is schematized, it being understood that the crushing machine (8) is not part of the invention but is intended to crush containers ( 9) and is included to insinuate that it is a machine available a short distance from where the cabinet (1) is located, which is a piece of furniture in the shape of a straight prism with a square base, in which height predominates, made of sheet metal or plastic presenting a trap door (4), in the upper part and a door (2), in the front or on one of its sides, with its corresponding handle (3).

The hatch (4) allows the entry of the crushed containers (9.1) and the door (2) allows the removal of the storage bag (7), once it is full.

(Fig.2) shows us a flattened container (9.1) that is immediately dropped into the bag (7) where a series of flattened containers (9.1) have already been introduced, leaving the set waiting for the bag to be filled. bag (7) completely.

The firm fastening of the bag (7) to the cabinet (1) is achieved by means of a fastening frame (6) attached to the cabinet by means of supports (5).

This general provision allows prior storage in private homes, bars or restaurants, of a significant number of crushed containers (9.1), which makes one of the recycling phases very efficient since the classic way of acting of throwing one by one is eliminated. one of the crushed containers.

As soon as the bag (7) is completely filled, it is removed from the cabinet (1) by removing the fence (6), extracting the bag (7) and closing it as usual with plastic bags.

(Fig.3) shows us the final phase in which the bag (7) is filled, moved and introduced into the recycling container (10).

It is not considered necessary to make the content of this description more extensive so that an expert in the field can understand the scope and advantages derived from the invention, as well as develop and put into practice its object. However, it must be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment, so it may be subject to modifications provided that this does not affect or imply any alteration of the foundation of said invention. In other words, the terms in which this description of the invention has been exposed must always be taken broadly and not limitingly.
