  There is a custom of packing paper trash such as packaging paper materials of various products generated at home, various payments and billing details, or brochure booklets as combustible trash. In recent years, packaging materials have shifted from synthetic resin to paper materials from the viewpoint of reducing harmful substances, and a large amount of paper materials such as direct mail and OA equipment paper used in the home have been generated at home. However, the present situation is that many resources are disposed of as combustible waste without being recycled as in the conventional practice.

  Due to the impact of lifestyles from the past, such as the disposal of paper and other resource waste as combustible waste without recycling, and the decline in sorting workability due to the complicated shape and size of paper and other resource waste, the latest resource waste Even with the collection technology, it cannot be said that the recycling of garbage such as paper at home is sufficient. The amount of paper that can be recycled is 55.7% of the combustible waste from homes, and the fact is that it accounts for more than half of combustible waste.

  Paper with a shape that is difficult to enter into the recycle bin is thrown into an irregular shape such as squeezing or rolling, and the volume of garbage increases, resulting in a decline in the distribution efficiency of combustible garbage collection.

  The present invention makes it easy and efficient to use resource trash such as paper mixed in combustible trash generated at home and work, and single-sided used paper whose back side can be used as resource trash in a normal living environment. This makes it possible to improve the collection rate of resources and contribute to the promotion of recycling.

  The resource garbage sorting and converging device according to the present invention forms a V-shaped structure 24 by combining two plates 1 and 1 ′ in a V shape, and resource waste such as paper is V. When it is inserted through the opening 25 at the top of the character-shaped structure 24, it falls along the inner wall and is neatly collected on the inner bottom, and the resource garbage is easily stored in an orderly manner without being bulky and detracting from aesthetics. Separation and collection can be performed (FIGS. 1 and 7).

  The resource garbage sorting and converging device according to the present invention can arbitrarily change the width of the opening 25 of the V-shaped structure 24 for collecting resource garbage such as paper, and can be placed on the floor or desk or hooked to the wall surface 18. It is possible to increase the chances of collecting resource trash by hanging it on 19 or installing it in various places (FIG. 6).

  The resource garbage sorting and converging device according to the present invention is such that two plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′ are swung around the trough line portion 26 of the V-shaped structure 24 and the plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′ face each other. Since it is inserted, not only paper waste but also other resource waste such as plastic trays and plastic bottles can be squeezed to reduce the volume.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can provide an environment in which resources such as paper can be collected and collected easily by simply dropping them from the opening of the resource waste sorting and converging device, and does not bother the user. This makes it easy to separate and recycle resource garbage.

  In addition, by using the present invention, it is possible to cleanly store paper and other resource garbage, and it can be placed not only in a private place but also in a public place without any discomfort. . Thus, since it can be easily installed in many places where resource waste such as paper is generated, an increase in the amount of separated collection of resource waste can be expected. By installing the resource waste sorting and condensing device of the present invention, it is possible to expect to collect 1.2 kg to 1.6 kg recycled paper per person per month from waste paper that has been treated as combustible waste.

  Furthermore, by utilizing the waste squeezing function of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the volume of resource waste such as plastic trays and PET bottles generated at home, contributing to efficient transportation and reduction of storage space. it can.

  By continuing to use the resource garbage separation and converging device of the present invention, it is possible to acquire the customs regarding the separation and recycling of resource garbage such as paper alone, and the separation of different types of paper from milk paper, cardboard, etc. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the efficiency of sorting collection and environmental measures.

  The resource garbage sorting and converging device according to the present invention comprises a V-shaped structure 24 in which valley portions 26 at the bottom of two plate-like bodies are connected by a hinge or the like, and falls outside the plate-like bodies 1 and 1 ′. A support leg 2 for prevention is pivotally supported. An opening 25 is provided at the top of the V-shaped structure, and when paper 20 or the like is dropped from the opening 25, the V-shaped structure 24 composed of two plate-like bodies 1 and 1 ' It falls along the internal slope and is stored inside (FIGS. 2 and 7).

  A connecting rod 6 that pivots about a support shaft 7 is pivotally supported on the side surface of one plate-like member 1 of the two plate-like members constituting the V-shaped structure 24. The connection pin 12 is provided in the part. The connecting pin 12 is inserted into a connecting hole 8 provided on the side surface of the other plate-like body 1 ′ to fix both plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′. A plurality of connecting holes 8 are provided on the side surface of one plate-like body 1 ′, and the connecting pins 12 of the connecting rod 6 are inserted into the arbitrary connecting holes 8, so that the opening can be opened according to the place of use and use. The width of the portion 25 can be arbitrarily adjusted (FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Note that as a means for arbitrarily adjusting and fixing the width of the opening 25, a clip or the like may be used instead of the connecting pin 12, and the biting may be performed.

  The support leg 2 for preventing the fall of the V-shaped structure 24 is pivotally supported by a fixture 4 attached to the outside of the plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′ of the V-shaped structure 24, and is fitted to the axis of the fixture 4. The supporting leg 2 can be fixed at an appropriate position by loosening the inserted thumbscrew 5 (FIGS. 1 and 2).

  The support leg 2 is inverted and fixed with a thumbscrew 5 or the like, so that it can be hooked on a hook 19 laid on a wall surface 18 such as a desk and the main body can be suspended from the wall surface 18 (FIG. 6).

  In addition, in order to suspend the main body from the wall surface 18, a hole may be provided in one of the plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′ to be hooked on the hook 19, and the wall surface 18 may be made of a material containing iron. In such a case, a magnet may be mounted on one of the support leg 2 or the plate-like bodies 1 and 1 ′ and may be attracted to the wall surface 18 by magnetic force.

  A receiving sheet 21 using paper waste such as advertising paper is laid in advance inside the V-shaped structure 24 composed of the plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′, and the discarded used paper 20 is received. Picking up the receiving paper 21 by hand from the upper cut 10 of the plate-like bodies 1, 1 ′ while being collected on the paper 21, and sandwiching the receiving paper 21 between magazines etc. for easy separate collection (FIGS. 1 and 8).

  With the paper 20 and the like collected in the V-shaped structure 24, the string 22 and the like are inserted into the lower cuts 11 of the two plate-like bodies 1 and 1 ', and the upper cut provided at the upper part of the two plate-like bodies. The resource garbage such as paper 20 can be bound and bundled through (FIG. 9).

  Using the opening / closing function of the V-shaped structure 24 composed of the plate-like bodies 1 and 1 ′, resource garbage such as a plastic tray 23 and a plastic bottle is sandwiched between the wall surfaces of the V-shaped structure 24 and manually plate-shaped. The volume of waste can be reduced by pressing the openings 25 of the bodies 1, 1 ′ in the closing direction and squeezing them.

  By using the pressure operating tool 13 including the pressure operating lever 16, the handle 17, and the plate-like body attaching / detaching portion 14, the squeezing force of the device can be doubled. The pressure operating tool 13 is provided with a handle 17 on one side, and a plate-like body attaching / detaching portion 14 is provided at the other end so as to be rotatable by a support shaft portion 15. The plate-like body attaching / detaching portion 14 is plate-like. It can be fitted to the upper part of the body 1 ′ (FIG. 4).

  A guide 9 for inserting the pressure operating tool 13 is provided at the upper end of one plate-like body 1 of the V-shaped structure 24, and the handle 17 side of the pressure operating tool 13 is inserted into the guide 9, and the other A plate-like body attaching / detaching portion 14 pivotally attached to the pressure operating tool 13 is fitted to the upper part of the plate-like body 1 ′, and the V-shaped structure 24 is pressed along the pressure operating tool 13 in the folding direction. The waste in the character structure 24 is squeezed and tied with a string or the like (FIGS. 5 and 10).

  The guide hole of the guide 9 is provided on the plate-like body 1 so as to be inclined outwardly from the inner side at a constant angle. By pulling the handle 17 upward, the V-shaped structure 24 is moved by the lever action. A compressing object such as the plastic tray 23 on the wall surface of the V-shaped structure 24 can be squeezed using the narrowing force.
