FR2525994A1 - RECIPIENT OF THE PAPER BASKET TYPE - Google Patents

Abstract

1. A receiver of wastepaper basket type comprising a receiver basket (1, 1') mounted on a support (2, 2') and a lid (3, 3') which pivots about a spindle (4) integral with the said support, the receiver basket being arranged to be able to tilt forwards with respect to the support when the lid is opened and the lid when it is closed keeping the receiver basket flat against the support, characterized by the fact that the lid and the receiver basket included complementary members (7, 7'-9, 9') forming a cam so that when the receiver basket is in its position tilted forwards and then the lid is closed again, the receiver basket is brought back again towards its position flat against the support.

Description

The present invention relates to a container of the basket type to

  paper and more particularly such a container

  comprising a receiver basket mounted on a support and a neck

  pivoting on a fixed axis of said support, the receiving basket being arranged to be able to tilt forward by

  relative to the support when the lid is open and the

  now, when closed, the receiver basket

pressed against the support.

  Such a container is described for example in the application

  French Patent No. 81 05 280.

  These containers are generally satisfactory but

  however, are sometimes relatively difficult to close.

  It is indeed necessary to simultaneously press the receiver basket against the support and to lower the cover to ensure the locking These two movements must be synchronized, especially when the receiving basket and the cover have cooperating engagement members, so as to

  ensure a locked closure of the lid.

  The present invention aims to overcome these disadvantages by providing a container of the type mentioned above in which the receiving basket is set up automatically when

11 closing the lid.

  For this purpose, the subject of the present invention is a

  container of the waste basket type comprising a basket receiving

  mounted on a support and a cover pivoting on an axis integral with said support, the receiving basket being arranged to be able to swing forwardly relative to the support when the lid is open and the lid now, when closed, the basket receiver pressed against the support, characterized in that the cover and the receiving basket comprise complementary cam members so that when the receiving basket is in its forward tilted position and the lid is closed, the receiving basket is brought back in

  back to its pressed position against the support.

  Thus, through the cooperation of the bodies

  cam, that the receiver basket is returned to its position of use

  lisation pressed against its support, when closing the lid. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cam members comprise at least one rib

  integral with the cover, a rib whose cam surface lies in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of

lid rotation.

  Furthermore, the cam members may also include the edge of the receiver basket which can then cooperate

  with the rib mentioned above.

  In this case, the lid may include a throat

  device capable of receiving the edge of the receiving basket.

  the cam surface of the rib extending from the

inner edge of this groove.

  Thus, the engagement of the edge of the receiver basket in the groove of the lid is ensured since the edge of the basket slides on the cam surface of the rib and is thus guided

to the inner edge of it.

  Embodiments of the invention will now be described by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended diagrammatic drawings, in which: FIG. 1 is a side view of a wastebasket according to the invention, FIG. a longitudinal sectional view of the basket of Figure 1, showing on a larger scale the lid in its open position, Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 2 in which the lid is in its closed position and, Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1

of an alternative embodiment.

  The wastebasket shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is of the type of the French patent No. 81 05 280 and will not be

so not described here in detail.

  This wastepaper basket comprises a receiver basket 1 mounted on a support 2 and closed by a lid 3 pivoting about a substantially horizontal transverse axis 4 mounted

also on the support 2.

  The receiving basket 1 can pivot about a horizontal lower axis 5 of the support 2 between a position where it is held pressed against this support by the cover 3 when the latter is closed, and a position shown in Figure 1 in which it is tilted forward and held in this position with a hook 6 cooperating with a rib

represented by the support 2.

TG / JC / AO / 55211

  In the closed position of the lid, the upper edge

  7 of the receiver basket 1 is snapped into a groove 8 formed at the periphery of the lid 3, which thus prevents any upward movement or tilting towards the front of the receiver basket 1. According to the invention, the lid 3 comprises at its rear part of the c 8 tee of the axis of rotation 4, at least one rib 9

  in a plane perpendicular to the axis 4.

  The rib 9 extends inwardly and downwardly relative to the lower edge 10 of the cover 3 to form a cam surface 11 capable of cooperating with the edge 7 of the

receiver basket 1.

  As can be seen in Figure 2, when we start

  this to lower the lid 3 according to the arrow Fl, the lower part of the cam surface 11 comes into contact with the edge 7

of the receiver basket 1.

  When the movement continues in the direction of the arrow Fl, the cam surface 11 cooperating with the edge 7

  fold the basket receiver 1 according to the arrow F 2 to come pro

  gressively press it against the support 2 (not shown in

Figures 2 and 3).

  The cam surface 11 terminates at its upper part.

  Ie in the immediate vicinity of the edge 12 of the groove 8 so that by closing completely the cover 3 as shown in Figure 3 the edge 7 of the receiver basket 1 automatically engages inside the peripheral groove 8 of the lid 3. FIG. 4 represents another wastebasket in which the receiving basket 1 'is pivotally mounted relative to the support 2' about an axis 5 'situated at the level of

  middle of the receiver basket 1 'The lid 3' of this corbeil-

  the paper comprises, according to the invention, a rib 9 'capable of

  tible to cooperate with the edge 7 'of the receiver basket 1' to tilt this basket from the position shown in Figure 4 to its position of use where it is substantially

  vertical, pressed against the support 2 '.

  It can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 4 that the dimension of the rib according to the invention is adapted to the possible degrees of tilting for the basket, so that the lower part of the cam surface of this rib can come into contact

  with the top edge of the basket, when closing the neck

  vercle. Of course, various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiment described above without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. -
