Abstract

Urban waste container set, especially for public roads, comprising a container container suitable for depositing urban waste, wrapped by a structure that acts as a trim and fixing element for the whole, facilitating its integration into the urban space, and avoiding the degradation of the structure of the current containers.

Description

Urban waste container set.

Object of the invention

The present invention patent application Its purpose is to register a waste container set urban, especially for public roads, which incorporates notable innovations and advantages over current configurations of containers used for the same purpose.

More specifically, the container set it comprises a container container wrapped by a structure that acts as a beautifying and fixing element of the set, facilitating its integration in the urban space.

Background of the invention

One of the current concerns they have city councils and managing bodies in cities and towns is the visual aspect of urban waste containers. Further, Another concern to resolve is the improvement of container handling by  user part.

Most waste containers urban located on public roads have the following inconveniences:

-

The inlet of the waste in the container is the same as the one used to empty the contents of said container, so, Normally, that mouth is very dirty.

-

He container lid opening pedal is very uncomfortable of use by the citizen-user, post that this is usually prevented by the curb of the sidewalk or road.

-

In addition, repeated use of the pedal can cause the container lid to break.

-

He pedal is an element that bothers during the operation of emptying of the container.

-

The Containers are easily scrollable from their location. The cause of the aforementioned displacement can be from the wind, to the Drivers of vehicles that need parking.

-

He state of cleanliness of urban containers is usually quite unfavorable because of the type of waste it contains and when repeated use made of it.

For all that has been described, the applicant for the The present invention has developed a fixing device and urban waste container trim for the road public that facilitates the use of the same face to citizen-user

Description of the invention

The urban waste container set, specially designed for application on public roads, object of this register, solve the problems above cited, also providing other additional advantages that will be evident from the description that accompanies continuation.

To do this, and more specifically, said container set is characterized by comprising: a container container formed by at least one internally hollow body for deposit urban waste; and a trim element, fixed on the ground by means of fixing means, comprising a outer structure that envelops said container externally container.

Particularly, said beautifying element it is provided with support means to support a face upper, equipped with at least one waste inlet; Y said embellishing element presenting fixing means thereof  with respect to the container container.

In a preferred embodiment, the means of lift of the upper face consist of a vertical face and two side faces protruding downward from the upper face

Additionally, and preferably, the face upper is formed by a first articulated cover for access to inside the container container from the passage area of the container user, and a second adjacent lid that acts to fixing means mode to fix the container container, accessible from the face of the container opposite the vertical face of the structure.

The articulated lid is linked to means lifting, preferably from the vertical face of the trim element. Also, the aforementioned means of lifting consist of a pedal mechanism or similar that by elastic or counterweight means facilitate the opening of the lid articulated In addition, the pedal can be height adjustable for avoid the curb and be always in a comfortable position for the user.

According to another aspect of the invention, the lid adjacent upper face may be linked to means of holding it when it is in its open position. In such a way that the removal of the container container is facilitated by the operator in charge of waste collection.

In accordance with the characteristics described, the face of the container container not covered by the trimming element structure is accessible from the area destined for urban transit, an area where the container users. In such a way that the operator in charge of waste collection should only take the container, raising the back cover that retains it, to proceed later with its manipulation.

Advantageously, and thanks to the particularities of the described invention, a fixed container assembly is obtained in the soil, which prevents the degradation of the structure of the current containers, and that significantly reduces the costs of maintenance of it.

In addition, this set better integrates the container in the urban space, since the visible part of the container is hidden under the trim structure.

To complete the description below is going to be done and in order to help a better understanding of its characteristics, is accompanied by the present specification, of a set of planes in whose figures, illustratively and not limiting, the most significant details of the invention.

Brief description of the designs

Figure 1 corresponds to a view in perspective of the container set according to the features of the invention; Y

Figure 2 corresponds to a view in posterior perspective of the container assembly represented in the previous figure.

Description of a preferred embodiment

In view of the commented figures and of according to the numbering adopted, it can be observed in them a preferred but not limiting embodiment of the invention, the which consists of a container set of urban waste, specially designed for application on public roads.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the container set is characterized by comprising: a container container (1) formed by a single internally hollow body for deposit urban waste; and a trim element (2), fixed to the ground by means of fixing means (3), which it comprises an outer structure that externally envelops the said container container (1).

Also, the trim element (2) is provided with a vertical face (4) that is arranged, in a position of use of the set, in front of the passage area of the users of the set; two side faces (5); and an upper face (6) endowed with a first articulated cover (7) for access to the interior of the container container (1) from the user's passage area of the container, and a second adjacent lid (8) acting as a fixing means for fixing the container container (1), accessible from the face of the container opposite the vertical face (4) of the beautifying structure.

Additionally, the articulated lid (7) is linked to accessible lifting means (9), preferably, from the vertical face (4) of the element trim (2). In addition, the mentioned lifting means (9) They consist of a pedal mechanism or similar.

According to another aspect of the invention, the lid adjacent (8) is linked to support means (not represented) thereof in its opening position, thereby that, the removal of the container container (1) by part is facilitated of the operator.

In accordance with the characteristics described, the face of the container container (1) not covered by the structure of the trim element (2) is accessible from the intended area to urban traffic, an area where users of the container. In such a way that the operator in charge of the collection of waste should only carry the container to it, raising the back cover that retains it, to proceed later with its manipulation

The details, the shapes, the dimensions and other accessory elements, as well as the materials used in the manufacture of the container assembly of the invention may be conveniently substituted by others that are technically equivalent and do not depart from the essentiality of the invention nor of the scope defined by the claims included in continuation.
