TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a trash container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a footboard is stepped down with a foot so that odors and pests can be prevented from entering and exiting from an opening and a lid can be opened and closed even when both hands are closed. A trash container in which a lid is rotatable upward with a rear end as a fulcrum is known.

[0003]

However, in such a trash container, there is a problem that the upper space of the trash container cannot be effectively used because the lid rotates upward.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and to provide a trash container capable of effectively utilizing the upper space and opening the inner container in two stages according to the amount of trash. I do.

[0005]

According to the trash container of the present invention, an inner container is detachably housed in a container body having a side wall vertically erected from a top plate on a substrate. On the side wall of the substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped recess formed at the front end of the bottom of the container, a substantially flat plate-like tread plate is swingably attached, and by stepping down the tread plate front end with a foot, the inner container is formed. It is characterized in that the concave portion is pushed up and can be tilted forward with the front end of the substrate as a fulcrum.

[0006] In the trash container of the present invention, the material of the container main body having the side wall vertically erected from the top plate on the substrate is not particularly limited. For example, polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene ( Hard synthetic resin such as HDPE) is preferably used.

The shape is not particularly limited, and may be substantially rectangular in plan view or substantially circular.
In order to reduce the amount of raw materials used and to prevent bending deformation without impairing the appearance, it is preferable to provide a brim around the entire back surface and arrange reinforcing ridges in a substantially lattice shape inside the flange. .

[0008] In the trash container of the present invention, the material of the inner container detachably housed inside the container main body is not particularly limited, and for example, a hard synthetic resin such as PP or HDPE is suitably used. .

The shape of the container is determined according to the shape of the container body, but it is necessary to incline the wall surface so that the wall surface is slightly widened so that a plurality of containers can be stacked in the vertical direction during disassembly. This is preferable because the volume occupied during storage can be reduced.

It is preferable to provide a handle on the front surface of the inner container so that the handle can be easily attached to and detached from the container body. The shape of the handle is not particularly limited. For example, the handle may be formed by folding the upper edge of the front portion into a substantially U-shaped cross section, or by projecting a substantially U-shaped grip portion.

In the front half of the substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped recess formed at the front end of the bottom surface of the inner container, the front end of the tread plate is stepped down with a foot to tilt forward from the substrate front end as a fulcrum. Further, a step portion is provided so that the bottom surface of the inner container contacts the upper surface of the tread plate and does not hinder tilting even when the handle is pulled forward.

At the upper end of the inner container, a substantially U-shaped 1 is formed.
The pair of trash bag fixing frames may be pivotally supported.
The cross-sectional shape of the trash bag fixing frame, when rotated in a horizontal state,
It is preferably formed in a substantially rectangular shape so as to be supported by the open end of the inner container.

In order to arrange a garbage bag in the inner container, first,
The garbage bag is inserted into the inner container, and the garbage bag fixing frame is pushed up and rotated to turn the upper edge of the garbage bag outward and wound around the garbage bag fixing frame. Next, the garbage bag fixing frame may be pushed downward and rotated to be supported on the open end of the inner container.

When the garbage bag containing the garbage is taken out of the inner container, the garbage bag fixing frame is first pushed up and rotated in the opposite order to the above, so that the upper edge of the garbage bag is removed. Remove from the bag fixing frame. Next, the mouth of the garbage bag is tightly closed to prevent spillage of the garbage, and the garbage bag may be taken out of the inner container.

In the trash container of the present invention, the material of the substantially flat tread plate that is swingably attached to the side wall of the substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped recess formed at the front end of the bottom of the inner container is as follows. There is no particular limitation, and for example, a hard synthetic resin such as PP or HDPE is preferably used.

Although the overall shape of the tread is not particularly limited,
In order to reduce the amount of raw material used and to prevent bending deformation, it is preferable to form a brim around the entire back surface and to arrange reinforcing ridges in a substantially lattice-like shape inside the flange.

The tread plate is provided with a groove along the width direction substantially at the center of the bottom surface, and a protrusion protruding from the upper surface of the substrate is fitted into the groove so as not to easily drop out. It is preferable that the inner container is tilted forward with the ridge as a fulcrum by stepping down the tread plate with a foot. In addition, the protrusions and protrusions of the tread plate and the substrate may be reversed, and a ridge may be vertically provided on the bottom surface of the tread plate along the width direction, and the ridge may be fitted into a groove formed in the upper surface of the substrate.

The means for attaching the recessed portion of the tread to the side wall is not particularly limited. For example, a substantially bar-shaped projection protruding from one of the outer side wall of the tread and the side wall of the recess is provided on the other side. It may be pivotally attached to the engraved blind hole, or may be pivotally attached using bolts and nuts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A trash container according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an example of the trash container of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a substantially rectangular substrate in plan view having a hanging edge 11 provided all around, and a substantially rectangular concave portion 12 in plan view in the center of the upper surface of the substrate 1. Is provided with a recess
In the vicinity of the front end of 12, a ridge 13 is provided upright along the width direction.

Numerals 2 denote side walls vertically extending from the substantially rectangular top plate 21 on the three sides except for the front side. The lower ends of the side walls are inserted into through holes (not shown) formed on both sides of the concave portion 12 of the substrate 1. As a result, the container main body 3 is formed upright on the substrate 1.

Inside the container body 3, an inner container 4 is removably housed. At the upper end of the front surface of the inner container 4, a handle 41 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is extended, and a substantially flat tread plate 5 is provided on a side wall of the substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped recessed portion 42 formed at the front end of the bottom surface. It is attached to be able to swing. A step 43 having a substantially arc-shaped cross section is continuously provided in the front half of the substantially flat rectangular parallelepiped recess 42.

A groove 51 is formed substantially in the center of the bottom surface of the tread plate 5 along the width direction, and the protrusion 13 protruding from the upper surface of the substrate 1 is fitted into the groove 51 to thereby provide the tread plate. Numeral 5 can be tilted forward with the ridge 13 as a fulcrum.

When the inner container 4 is withdrawn from the interior of the container body 3, the inner container 4 is lifted slightly upward with a fingertip on the handle 41, and the engagement between the groove 51 and the ridge 13 is released. Just pull it forward.

When dust is introduced into the inner container 4, the foot 52 of the tread plate 5 is stepped down with a foot, and the rear end 52 of the tread plate 5 is moved to the inner container 4.
The inner container 4 is tilted forward to the position I indicated by a two-dot chain line and opened. After the trash is thrown in, the inner container 4 is automatically returned to its original position by its own weight and closed when the foot is lowered from the tread plate 5.

When the amount of dust is large and the size of the opening of the inner container 4 is not sufficient for insertion, the handle 41 of the inner container 4 can be further lowered forward from the tilted forward state, and the contents can be reduced. Vessel 4
Is tilted further forward with the attachment portion 6 of the tread plate 5 as a fulcrum to a position II indicated by a two-dot chain line, is greatly opened in the front-rear direction, and can be inserted. After the dust is input, if the handle 4 is lightly pressed backward, the inner container 4 automatically returns to its original position by its own weight and is closed.

[0027]

Since the trash container of the present invention is constructed as described above, the upper space is not temporarily occupied by the lid at the time of opening, and the upper space of the trash container can be effectively utilized. I can do it. The inner container can be opened in two stages according to the amount of dust.
