Description

-1- La présente invention concerne un dispositif environnemental de cendrier public à vidage rapide permettant d'assainir la voie publique par la collecte exclusive des mégots de cigarettes qui y sont jetés en vue de leur recyclage ultérieur. La loi Anti-tabac qui a pris effet en France, le 1 et février 2007 en s'appliquant dans un premier temps aux entreprises, aux administrations, aux établissements scolaires et aux établissements de santé ; s'est étendue le ler Janvier 2008, aux lieux dits de convivialité (cafés, hôtels, restaurants, discothèques, casinos). Désormais, les fumeurs -n'ayant droit de cité que dans des espaces ouverts- se réunissent pour la plupart durant leur pause, sur les trottoirs des villes, aux abords des immeubles qui ûconséquence immédiate- observent une accumulation croissante de mégots écrasés. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cette nuisance environnementale. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un socle situé à son extrémité basse permettant à l'ensemble du dispositif d'être fixé au sol et dans lequel vient s'emboiter le pied surmonté du réceptacle du cendrier, ce dernier situé à l'extrémité haute du dispositif. Le réceptacle présente sur sa partie supérieure un plateau cendrier doté de nervures destinées à faciliter l'extinction des cigarettes ; Ce même plateau comportant une inclinaison suffisante pour permettre aux cigarettes qui ne sont pas volontairement jetées dans le réceptacle d'y tomber instantanément, au travers d'une ouverture ad hoc. L'ouverture du réceptacle ùétant prévue exclusivement pour les mégots- est équipée d'une grille de protection calibrée afin d'empêcher tout autre dépôt d'objets (récipients, bouteilles vides, emballages et/ou autres déchets). Le réceptacle est pourvu, d'une ouverture frontale commandée permettant le vidage instantané de son contenu. Vidage qui est en outre, rendu plus aisé par la forme et l'inclinaison de la paroi intérieure du réceptacle favorisant l'expulsion et le glissement du contenu vers l'extérieur. Par ailleurs, un système de verrouillage/déverrouillage manuel situé dans la partie supérieure du pied permet une fermeture sécurisée de l'ouverture frontale. Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : Le plateau cendrier ainsi que l'extrémité inférieure de l'intérieur du réceptacle ont une inclinaison au moins égale à 35°. -2- Il est aussi important de noter que l'attention toute particulière apportée au design de l'objet -évoquant les formes incurvées de la fumée de cigarette préfigurant les volutes-en fait ipso facto un objet signalétique facilement identifiable par tous. Le dessin annexé illustre l'invention : La figure 1 représente le dispositif de l'invention. La figure 2 représente une variante du dispositif de l'invention avec ouverture frontale en position ouvert . En référence à ce dessin, le dispositif comporte un socle (1) situé à son extrémité basse permettant à l'ensemble du dispositif d'être fixé au sol et dans lequel vient s'emboiter le pied (2) surmonté du réceptacle du cendrier (3), ce dernier situé à l'extrémité haute du dispositif. Le réceptacle (3) présente sur sa partie supérieure un plateau cendrier (4) doté de nervures destinées à faciliter l'extinction des cigarettes ; Ce même plateau comportant une inclinaison suffisante pour permettre aux cigarettes qui ne sont pas volontairement jetées dans le réceptacle (3) d'y tomber instantanément au travers d'une ouverture ad hoc (5). L'ouverture du réceptacle (5) ûétant prévue exclusivement pour les mégots est équipée d'une grille de protection calibrée (6) afin d'empêcher tout autre dépôt d'objets (récipients, bouteilles vides, emballages et/ou autres déchets). Le réceptacle (3) est pourvu d'une ouverture frontale commandée (7) permettant le vidage instantané de son contenu. Vidage qui est en outre, rendu plus aisé par la forme et l'inclinaison de la paroi intérieure du réceptacle (3) favorisant l'expulsion et le glissement du contenu vers l'extérieur. Un système de verrouillage/déverrouillage (8) situé dans la partie supérieure du pied (2) permet une fermeture sécurisée de l'ouverture frontale (7). L'ouverture frontale (7) est équipée de ressorts ou suspensions (9) lui permettant de se relever, à la façon d'un capot de voiture, sitôt le déverrouillage (8) actionné. La figure 3 représente un agrandissement du mécanisme de l'ouverture frontale (7). A titre d'exemple, le cendrier public incluant le dispositif aura des dimensions standards de : 99,94cm de hauteur ; 25cm de largeur et une profondeur de 35,20cm. Le réceptacle aura une capacité approximative de 4,701itres, le tout non-limitatif. Le poids n'intervenant d'aucune manière dans la fonctionnalité globale de l'objet ûcelui-ci n'ayant pas vocation à être déplacé-, pourra varier selon l'utilisation des matériaux mis en oeuvre. Par ailleurs, le corps du cendrier pourra être réalisé en aluminium, acier inoxydable et/ou par un procédé de moulage de matériaux composites rigides auxquels viendront s'ajouter les éléments mécaniques de type ressorts, axes de rotation... -3- Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné aux mégots de cigarettes, mais inclut par extension les fins de cigares. L'utilisation du cendrier public dans sa présente conception originale, s'adresse, en outre, à toute collectivité concernée par les problèmes d'environnement et de propreté 5 publique et désireuse d'y remédier.

Henceforth, smokers - having the right of citizenship only in open spaces - meet for the most part during their break, on the sidewalks of the cities, near buildings that immediate consequence - observe an increasing accumulation of crushed butts. The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this environmental nuisance. It comprises in fact according to a first feature a base located at its lower end allowing the entire device to be fixed to the ground and in which comes to fit the foot surmounted by the receptacle of the ashtray, the latter located at the end high of the device. The receptacle has on its upper part an ash tray with ribs to facilitate the extinction of cigarettes; This same tray with a sufficient inclination to allow cigarettes that are not deliberately thrown into the receptacle to fall instantly, through an opening ad hoc. The opening of the receptacle being provided exclusively for cigarette butts is equipped with a protective grid calibrated to prevent any further deposit of objects (containers, empty bottles, packaging and / or other waste). The receptacle is provided with a controlled front opening allowing instant emptying of its contents. Emptying which is furthermore made easier by the shape and inclination of the inner wall of the receptacle promoting the expulsion and the sliding of the contents outwards. In addition, a manual locking / unlocking system located in the upper part of the foot allows secure closing of the front opening. According to particular embodiments: The ash tray and the lower end of the interior of the receptacle have an inclination at least equal to 35 °. -2- It is also important to note that the special attention given to the design of the object-evoking the curved forms of cigarette smoke prefiguring the scrolls-makes it ipso facto a signage object easily identifiable by all.
