FR2843980A1 - Rubbish collector comprises two hemi-spherical buckets with two handles pivoted at mid height to enable opening and closing, buckets having open work on sides to enable manipulation of branches - Google Patents

Abstract

The rubbish collector consists of two hemi-spherical buckets (2) on which two handles (1) are installed and fixed at mid height by a bolted spindle (6) which enables the opening and closing of the tool. The buckets are reinforced on their external surfaces with an aluminum thickness (8) in order to increase the tool's life. The buckets have open work (7) on the sides to enable the manipulation of voluminous rubbish such as branches.

Description

AT -2843980

  The present invention relates to a device allowing the collection of various waste, quickly, easily,

  without dirt, in large volume and limiting physical efforts.

  (this waste goes from dead leaves, shrub branches, hedge pruning residues through

  type waste (bottles, cans and various plastics) and even dirty and dangerous waste.

  Traditionally, there are different techniques for collecting waste.

  The hands: however, the volume is limited, the risk of soiling is certain and physical fatigue to

falling is obvious.

  The shovel and the broom: more often used in the road workers, slow fool and the volume treated is low especially

  when it comes to dead leaves in the fall season.

  b The waste tongs which collect only one piece of waste at a time (surgical sampling type) The costly and bulky thermal or electric vacuum cleaners only treat waste in small volumes and in easily accessible areas (roads and paths) device according to the invention overcomes many problems related to the collection of waste. Indeed, the two buckets (2), extended by 2 handles (1), articulated on a bolted axis (6) halfway up the tool <-which constitute the main characteristic of this tool, allow the processing of large volume of sheets,

  branches, various litter, dirty or not, without risk of loss even when moving.

  The other characteristic is the presence of ergonomic handles (1) which make it possible to compact or at least to maintain the waste under sufficient pressure with a limited force due to the effect

  force reducer of these sleeves.

  ? c) Another characteristic are the openwork parts (7), which allow the taking of fagots or branches of several tens of centimeters.

  The last characteristic is constituted by the flat base of the buckets (5) which allows the invention to remain in the vertical position, when the tool is half open at 45, and thus, to be available permanently and at height.

  man without it getting tired to pick it up.

  - <'c The accompanying drawings (113,213,313) illustrate the invention. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises two buckets (2) whose bases are flattened (5) facilitating the vertical station. These two buckets are surmounted by two sleeves joined to the buckets by sleeve-type fasteners (3). The two handles are secured by a bolt (6) at mid-height of the tool highlighting the principle of the clamp. The buckets consist of a thin thickness of aluminum or plastic reinforced on their external face by an extra thickness c of aluminum or plastic (4) in order, on the one hand, to increase the service life of the tool and secondly

  allow a maximum reduction of the weight of this tool.

  By way of nonlimiting example, the tool can vary from 90 cm to 120 cm high and from 40 to 60 cm wide, produced according to the process of molding and injection of aluminum or plastic, the buckets and the handles will be assembled later. 3.7 Thus, the general physiognomy of the tool presented allows it: - to perform quick work compared to existing means - to work in difficult areas where stooping is painful and tiring - of pre- compact the waste to facilitate its containerization and increase the volume treated (eg leaves, branches) 4 o avoid contact with the body and also limit the risk of soiling or injury thanks to its fairly long sleeves _ to be practical and fast, because in semi-open position the tool remains vertical and always available for its user

Claims (5)

  1) Device for the collection of various waste characterized in that it consists of 2 buckets (2) extended by two sleeves (1) and articulated on a bolted axis (6).   2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the buckets (2) consist of a thin thickness of aluminum or plastic in order to minimize the effective weight of the tool and allow maximum processing of waste with a least effort.   3) Device according to claim 2 characterized in that the cups (2) are reinforced on their external faces by an extra thickness of aluminum (8) or plastic to increase the life of the tool.   4) Device according to claim 3 characterized in that the thin thickness and the flat base of these buckets allow the collection of almost all the waste of a site, from the largest to the smallest.   ) Device according to claim 4 characterized in that the cups are perforated (7) on the sides to allow the handling of very bulky waste assembled in bundles (type: branches)   6) Device according to claim 5 characterized in that the half-open tool (+ / 45) rests on the flat base of the buckets (5), which allows it to be permanently available next to its user who no longer tires as much to pick up his tool.
