Description

  The present invention relates to a container having versatility for accommodation and removal, and relates to a container for accommodating objects to be stored such as garbage and resources.

  Conventionally, recyclable materials such as plastics and plastic bottles that are separated and discharged by material from households are typical examples of the items to be contained, and as a storage method until they are collected, they are put in a bag, made of resin or metal It is stored in a container or covered with a flat or cylindrical net with a weight.

  As a storage method for bird and beast measures and prevention of scattering until collection of garbage in the bag, it can be stored in a plastic or metal container with a lid such as a poly bucket, or a flat net with a weight. Or a method of covering with a cylindrical net is taken.

  Examples of the above-mentioned resources include empty cans, empty bottles, used plastic bottles and plastic trays, plastic packaging materials, waste paper, and old cloth. Garbage that can be put in a bag is food waste, combustible waste, non-combustible materials that are not used as resources.

The above method is the same for the case where a single-family house is used as a target.

  Resin-made garbage storage containers such as conventional poly buckets are light in weight after collection of the objects to be stored, and there are cases in which a fall or breakage due to wind is a problem. In addition, when the contents are lightweight, the contents may fall apart due to wind or the like even during accommodation, and the contents may be scattered apart.

  Recyclables such as plastic bottles and plastics that are separated and discharged by material may be temporarily stored in bags for each material, but when they are moved to a collection vehicle or collection container, the collection worker must make a bag each time. It takes a lot of time for the collection work since it must be taken out from the container and transferred.

  In Patent Document 1, a cylindrical net having a weight is proposed to cover a garbage bag, and at the time of collection, the bag in the net can be taken out simply by lifting the upper part. However, when storing loose items such as empty bottles and empty cans without putting them in a bag, the cylindrical net of Patent Document 1 does not have a bottom part, so that the lower end partly does not partially lift the net. However, when being beaten, the objects to be contained are easily scattered around from the gap. This also applies to a flat net.

In the cylindrical net of Patent Document 1, in order to collect items stored without being put in a bag, the lower end portion is held so that it does not lift up, while the string penetrated to the top is loosened and opened. Must be taken out from the top one by one, and the recovery work takes a lot of time.

  The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such a conventional container, and can accommodate various containers with a single container, and can simplify loading and unloading. It is.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, as a first means, a storage body including a storage body main body having at least a lower opening, in order to hold an object stored in the storage body main body. The container is characterized in that an opening converging means is provided which can converge and close the lower opening and allows the object to be dropped by its own weight from the lower opening by being released.

  As a second means, there is provided a container characterized in that a weight for preventing a sag is arranged on a peripheral edge of a lower opening of the container of the first means to prevent a skirt from falling when placed. is there.

  As a third means, the weight for preventing drooling of the second means is a container characterized in that it is at least partially flexible band.

  As a fourth means, the opening convergence means of the first to third means is configured to include a pinch for sandwiching the converged opening peripheral edge portion.

  As a fifth means, the container is characterized in that the pinch of the fourth means is connected to the container body by a string-like member.

  As a sixth means, the container body of the fifth means is provided with an opening other than the lower opening, and the string-like member functions as an opening / closing member for converging and closing the opening. It is the container characterized by having provided.

  As a seventh means, in the collection body of any one of the first to sixth means, the collection body main body has an upper opening that can be converged and closed, assists the self-supporting of the collection body, and A self-supporting structure provided with a self-supporting auxiliary structure that allows convergence.

  The material of the container body is preferably a net-like body. Although depending on the size and shape of the object to be accommodated, for example, the mesh has a mesh size of 3 to 10 mm, for example, to prevent scattering by birds and beasts.

  Since the pinch for converging the lower opening is easy to operate, it is possible to lift the container body with one hand, operate the pinch with the other hand to release the convergence, and open the lower opening. There is no need for the troublesome task of placing the container body on the road surface and then moving the object to another location, and the object falls from the lower opening opened by its own weight. If it is carried out on the vehicle or the collection container insertion port, it becomes possible to easily transfer the objects to be accommodated, and the working time can be shortened.

  In the present invention, since the weight is arranged around the periphery of the lower opening, it is possible to prevent scattering and take measures against damage to birds and beasts simply by expanding the lower opening and placing it on an object such as a garbage bag. This is because the weight prevents the skirt from falling. The collection is easy because the object to be contained comes out simply by lifting the container body.

  The pinch that converges the lower opening is idle when the lower opening is opened, but if this is connected to a fence near the container, the container can be prevented from shifting due to wind or the like. it can. The vicinity in this case is the distance that the string-like member connecting the pinch that converges the container body and the lower opening reaches, but when connecting to a distance greater than that, the same member as the string-like member Can be connected to increase the distance.

  By making the container body of the present invention into a net-like body, for example, the contents can be visually confirmed, and it is easy to confirm whether the discharge method is observed, which is convenient.

  By making the container body of the present invention into a net-like body, air permeability is improved, and it is possible to prevent a foul odor generated from the container from being trapped.

  When using a flexible weight such as a chain or rope for the weight attached to the container, the lower part of the container body should be installed on the installation surface when the lower opening is opened and covered with a garbage bag. It is easy to make it closely adhere to the shape and unevenness of the, and it is difficult to make a gap, so it is possible to prevent damage to birds and beasts.

  By attaching a weight to the periphery of the lower opening, it becomes easier to take the center of gravity, and it becomes easier to stabilize the object to be stored.

  When there are a plurality of openings (for example, an upper opening is provided in addition to the lower opening), when storing an object in a state in which one of them is converged and closed, the other opening is opened. Is possible. That is, when the upper opening exemplified above is provided, when the upper opening is closed, the lower opening can be opened and stored so as to cover the object to be stored, and the lower opening is converged Since the upper opening is opened and the object to be stored can be input and stored, it is possible to more easily store and additionally store the object to be stored.

  The collecting body main body is preferably provided with a self-supporting auxiliary structure, and in this case, it becomes easy to store the object to be stored and the additional storage through the upper opening by the self-supporting body of the collecting body. Since the self-supporting auxiliary structure does not hinder the convergence of the upper opening, there is no adverse effect on the closing after the objects to be stored are stored and additionally stored.

  As described above, the present invention can provide versatility to the use method by providing the lower opening with the convergence closing means and arranging the weight around the periphery of the lower opening. In addition to garbage that is mainly put out in bags discharged from homes, it is possible to collect a variety of items such as resources that tend to fall apart in the container, and to prevent scattering by wind.

  As a means for closing and closing the lower end portion, a belt body equipped with a hook-and-loop fastener, a ring made of a rigid material, a string-like member, a rubber band, or the like can also be used.

  As means for converging and closing the lower opening of the container, when attaching a hook-and-loop fastener to the belt body, a non-bonding surface portion is created by changing the length of the hook surface and loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener. By making the length so that an adult can easily grasp it, the hook-and-loop fastener can be easily removed, and the stored recyclable materials and garbage can be easily transferred to a collection vehicle or collection container.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 1, a container body 1, a weight 2 attached to the periphery of the lower opening 6, a pinch 3 as a converging means for the lower opening 6, the pinch 3 and the container body 1 are connected, and other openings 5, and comprises a string-like member 4 that converges the opening as an opening / closing means for the opening.

  In FIG. 1, the container body 1 is formed of a flexible net-like cylindrical body, and is at least as long as the opening and closing means of the opening 5 located at the top plus at least the circumference and height of the container body 1. The string-like member 4 is rotated so as to sew a mesh in the vicinity of the upper opening 5, and the pinch 3 is coupled to the end of the string-like member 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the end of the container body 1 at the periphery of the lower opening 6 is folded and stitched to form a bag, and the chain band 2 is attached and used as a weight. Further, the chain-like band body 2 can be arranged without being biased when both ends are connected to form an annular shape.

  3 to 4 show the procedure when the lower opening 6 is converged and closed in the above embodiment. The lower opening 6 is converged and closed by the pinch 3 coupled to the string-like member 4, and the object 7 (such as a plastic bottle) is accommodated from the upper opening 5 as shown in FIG. After storage, the upper opening 5 is converged and closed by the string-like member 4 in FIG. Note that the pinch 3 has a scissor portion that is large enough to converge the container body 1 and has sufficient strength to prevent the object 7 from falling by its own weight from the lower opening 6 of the container body 1. It shall be.

  FIG. 5 shows an installation example in the above embodiment. When the container body 1 is composed of a flexible net-like body or cloth-like body, the vicinity of the lower opening 6 sag when installed, and there is an effect of protecting the object 7 to be stored.

  FIG. 6 shows an example in which the recovery person 9 moves the object 7 into the recovery container 10. The container body 1 is lifted with one hand, the pinch 3 is opened with the other hand on the collection container 10, and the object 7 is dropped by its own weight from the lower opening 6. Since it falls by its own weight, it is possible to save the trouble of transferring the object.

  FIG. 7 shows an example in which the lower opening 6 is opened and the container body 1 is covered and stored on the object 11 placed in the bag. If the pinch 3 connected to the string-like member 4 is attached to the gate 8 or the like, it can be prevented from being lost when the container is blown by the wind. At the time of collection, the object 11 comes out simply by lifting the container body 1, which is convenient.

  FIG. 8 shows an example in which the lower opening 6 is opened and the container body 1 is covered with an object 11 placed in a bag. A string-like member 4 is wound around a column 12 or the like and the pinch 3 is used to form the string. In this example, the member 4 is sandwiched and attached to the pillar 12 in an annular shape.

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which a self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 including a support insertion part 18 and a support 19 is provided on the collected body 1.

  FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 surrounded by a circle in FIG. First, in order to insert the support body 19, a vertically long bag-like support body insertion portion 18 is formed by sewing in a predetermined range up to at least a converging height position in the height direction of the container body 1. Next, the support body 19 is inserted into the support body insertion portion 18 from above so as to intersect with the weight 2 disposed on the periphery of the lower opening 6. If necessary, the upper portion of the support insert 18 may be sewn closed. The reason why the support 19 is crossed with the weight 2 is not to make the crossing essential, but to improve stability by the crossing.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of use of the present embodiment shown in FIG. When the object 11 is first put into the collection body 1 (when it is in the open state indicated by a two-dot chain line), the self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 assists the self-supporting of the collection body 1 so that the upper opening 5 Is opened to facilitate the loading of the object 11 by the user. The self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 does not prevent the upper opening 5 from converging.

  FIG. 12 shows an example in which a self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 is provided without crossing the support 19 and the weight 2. The non-mounting parts (the part between the lower end of the support body 19 and the weight 2 and the part between the upper end of the support body 19 and the periphery of the upper opening 5) are arranged vertically on the collecting body main body 1 in the height direction. Provide. In the self-supporting auxiliary structure 31, the support body insertion portion 18 and the support body 19 are arranged so as to surround the collected body main body 1.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of use of the present embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, it is possible to sag the collector body 1 between the lower end of the support 19 and the periphery of the lower opening 6 and place the lower end of the support 19 in contact with the slack. The collected body main body 1 is more stable with respect to the ground due to the grounding, and when the lower opening 6 converges and is closed, the collected body main body 1 can stand up even when the object 11 is stored and additionally stored from the upper opening 5. It becomes easy.

  The self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 has higher elasticity and rigidity than the net-like body or cloth-like body constituting the collecting body main body 1 and does not hinder the convergence and opening operations of the upper opening 5 and the lower opening 6, and the container body It is desirable to bend so as to conform to the shape of the one net-like body.

  As an example of the self-supporting auxiliary structure 31, a part of the container body 1 is pinched and sewn to form a vertically long “auxiliary margin” to form a support body insertion portion 18, and an elongated bar (plate material) as a support body 19. There is a method of attaching in the height direction of the main body 1. (Fig. 9)

  The self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 is not necessarily limited to the above example, and for example, the following structure can be used. Examples of the support 19 that constitutes the self-supporting auxiliary structure 31 include a bar and a plate. Examples of the material include a metal, a synthetic resin, a wood bar and pipe, and an elongated plate-like spring material. Examples of the method for attaching the support 19 include pasting, sewing, and inserting into the auxiliary margin, and when the collecting body 1 is made of a mesh, the mesh is passed through a mesh.

  FIG. 14 shows an example in which a belt body 13 having a fastener 15 attached as an opening / closing means for the upper opening 5 and a surface fastener attached as a convergence means for the lower opening 6 is used. By making the container body 1 into a net-like body, it is possible to prevent the belt body 13 from getting dirty on the ground by being hooked on the container body 1 using the hook 14 when the lower opening 6 is opened.

  As a means for converging and closing the lower opening 6 as shown in FIG. 15, when a hook-and-loop fastener is attached to the belt body, a non-bonding surface is created by changing the length of the hook surface and loop surface of the hook-and-loop fastener. By setting the surface to a length that can be easily grasped by an adult, the hook-and-loop fastener can be easily removed, and the stored recyclable materials and garbage can be easily transferred to a collection vehicle or collection container.

  When the lower opening 6 in FIG. 15 converges, the hook is less likely to be caught on the net of the cylinder by winding the hook surface of the hook-and-loop fastener attached to the belt body 13 outward.

  FIG. 16 shows an example in which a string-like member 16 converges and closes as opening and closing means for the upper and lower openings.

  FIGS. 17 to 19 show an example in which a ring 17 made of a rigid material passed through the housing body 1 is used as a converging means for the lower opening 6. When the lower opening 6 is opened and used, the wheel 17 is slid up to the vicinity of the lower portion of the upper opening 5 (FIG. 17), and when the lower opening 6 is converged and closed, the wheel 17 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 18). (Shown by a solid line in FIG. 18). Since the upper opening 5 is opened by sliding down the wheel 17 (FIG. 19), the object 7 is introduced from the opened upper opening 5, and then the upper opening 5 is formed by the string-like member 4. Converge and close. The size of the ring 17 is such that the container body 1 can be converged and moved up and down, and the lower opening 6 can be converged and closed.
