DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION
Contenedor en el cual pueden vaciarse bandejas de comida Objetivo de la invencionContainer in which food trays can be emptied Purpose of the invention
La presente invencion se relaciona con un contenedor en el cual pueden vaciarse bandejas de comida de acuerdo con el preambulo de la reivindicacion 1.The present invention relates to a container in which food trays can be emptied according to the preamble of claim 1.
Antecedentes de la invencionBackground of the invention
Actualmente, hay una gran cantidad de contenedores de basura conocidos en el estado de la tecnica, y mas espedficamente, contenedores para restaurantes o establecimientos de comida rapida, que se forman generalmente por una estructura rectangular, en donde se incluye una puerta con bisagras o trampilla en uno de los lados de la misma, de manera que un usuario empuja dicha puerta hacia el interior e introduce una bandeja con basura, la cual se alojara dentro de un deposito previamente instalado en el interior del contenedor.Currently, there are a lot of garbage containers known in the state of the art, and more specifically, containers for restaurants or fast food establishments, which are usually formed by a rectangular structure, which includes a hinged door or trapdoor on one side of it, so that a user pushes said door inwards and introduces a tray with garbage, which will be housed inside a tank previously installed inside the container.
El principal inconveniente de estos tipos de contenedores es el hecho de que la puerta con bisagras debe empujarse manualmente por el usuario, quien inicialmente sostiene y soporta la bandeja con los desechos de comida, por lo que para abrir la puerta debe liberar primero una de sus manos, con la subsecuente dificultad de manipulacion que entrana todo este proceso. Muchas veces, un nino pequeno o una persona mayor no tiene la suficiente fuerza para sostener la bandeja en una sola mano y trata de abrir la puerta con la otra mano, lo que provoca que en muchos casos dicha bandeja caiga al suelo, lo que ensucia y derrama los restos de comida, y lleva a una situacion embarazosa al usuario.The main drawback of these types of containers is the fact that the hinged door must be pushed manually by the user, who initially holds and supports the tray with food waste, so to open the door you must first release one of its hands, with the subsequent difficulty of manipulation that this whole process entails. Many times, a small child or an older person does not have enough strength to hold the tray in one hand and tries to open the door with the other hand, which causes the tray to fall to the ground in many cases, which makes and spills food scraps, and leads the user to an embarrassing situation.
Por otra parte, dichos contenedores tienen el inconveniente de que, en muchas ocasiones, los usuarios se ensucian las manos al tratar de abrir la puerta con bisagras, ya que tienen, en la mayona de los casos, restos de comidas y/o bebidas que cubren la superficie exterior de la misma.On the other hand, these containers have the disadvantage that, on many occasions, users get their hands dirty when trying to open the door with hinges, since they have, in the majority of cases, food and / or beverage remains that they cover the outer surface of it.
Los documentos US-A-6267260 y US-A-6209744 describen un contenedor de acuerdo con el preambulo de la reivindicacion 1, que permite al usuario abrir la puerta con bisagras o trampilla sin tener que usar sus manos para hacerlo, de manera que es facil manipular la bandeja e introducir los restos de comida en el interior del contenedor, sin ensuciarse las manos y sin requerir ninguna fuerza o habilidad.Documents US-A-6267260 and US-A-6209744 describe a container according to the preamble of claim 1, which allows the user to open the door with hinges or hatch without having to use his hands to do so, so that it is Easy to manipulate the tray and introduce the remains of food inside the container, without getting your hands dirty and without requiring any strength or skill.
Los documentos US-A-6267260 y US-A-6209744 describen un contenedor para el vaciado de bandejas de comida en donde los esfuerzos de conduccion y, por tanto, de fatiga no son simetricos lo que provoca asf una duracion corta. La invencion de acuerdo con la reivindicacion 1 soluciona este problema tecnico.The documents US-A-6267260 and US-A-6209744 describe a container for emptying food trays where the conduction and, therefore, fatigue efforts are not symmetrical, thus causing a short duration. The invention according to claim 1 solves this technical problem.
