Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3191342 (see FIG. 2)

  However, although the above-mentioned conventional trash can does not have a functional defect, the following problems are desired to be improved.

  In the conventional trash can, the lid that opens and closes the inlet is slidably inserted into the guide, so when opening and closing the inlet, the lid must be inserted or removed each time. It was very troublesome.

  Further, in the conventional trash can, since the lid can be completely removed, there is a risk that the removed lid may be lost when the trash can is continuously used.

  Furthermore, in the conventional trash can, since the lid is only inserted in the guide part, even when the input port is closed, if the lid is slid from the outside of the door through the input port in the removal direction, In this case, the lid comes off from the guide portion, and the inlet can be opened. Therefore, even if the input port is closed with the lid, the lid may be removed and a suspicious object may be input.

  Further, in the conventional trash can, since the lid can be completely removed, there is a possibility that the lid may be dropped at the time of opening / closing the input port, thereby injuring an operator or damaging the lid.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to simplify opening and closing work of a lid for opening and closing a charging port, prevent loss of the lid, prevent opening of the charging port from outside the door, and injure an operator due to falling off of the lid. An object of the present invention is to provide a trash can that prevents the lid from being damaged.

  In order to achieve the above object, a trash can of the present invention has a box-shaped housing having an entrance, a door having the entrance openably and closably attached to the housing, an input port formed in the door, In a trash can provided with a shutter mechanism capable of opening and closing the input port from the back side of a door, the shutter mechanism includes a lid portion having one end hingedly connected to the back surface of the door and capable of closing the input port; And a contact portion that comes into contact with the lid when the door is closed with the lid closing the input port.

According to the present invention, the following effects can be achieved.
A) Since the lid is hinged to the back surface of the door, the opening can be opened and closed simply by rotating the lid, so that the opening and closing operation of the inlet is easy.
B) When the door is closed in a state where the lid closes the input port, the abutting portion that comes into contact with the lid is provided in the housing. Cannot be pushed and opened from the front side, and the workability of the work of closing the inlet is improved.
C) Since the lid is always held behind the door irrespective of the open / closed state of the slot, the lid can be prevented from being lost.
D) When the door is closed with the input port closed, the contact portion abuts on the lid, and the input port is not opened even if the lid is pressed from outside the door. It cannot be opened.
E) Since the lid is held on the back side of the door, it is possible to prevent injuries to the operator and damage to the lid due to dropping of the lid.

  The present invention relates to a garbage bin that is installed in a plaza or facility such as a railway station yard or a park, and is suitable for collecting empty waste such as plastic bottles, bottles, cans, and paper waste for drinking water. .

  Hereinafter, this trash can will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. A trash can 1 according to the present invention includes a box-shaped housing 2 having an entrance, a door 3 having an entrance openably and closably attached to the housing 2, and an input opening formed by arranging two vertically on the door 3. 8, 9 and a shutter mechanism capable of opening and closing the input ports 8, 9 from behind the door 3.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the housing 2 has a box shape and has an entrance formed by opening the front side in the figures. Further, a shelf plate 4 is provided horizontally inside the housing 2 and the shelf plate 4 functions as a shelf, so that equipment and the like can be stored in the housing 2. An upper chute 6 and a lower chute 5 are arranged side by side in the housing 2 so that when the door 3 is closed, the upper chute 6 communicates with the upper input port 8 and the lower chute 5 moves downward. It communicates with the input port 9 on the side.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the upper chute 6 is a tubular shape whose bottom 6 </ b> A is inclined downward from the opening side, and is connected to the lower surface of the shelf 4. I have.

  The lower chute 5 is, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, a rectangular frame 5A provided in the housing 2 and arranged below the lower input port 9 when the door 3 is closed. And a guide plate 5B inclined downward from the inner periphery of the frame 5A.

  A trash collection container 7 is accommodated in the housing 2 below the chutes 6 and 5 so as to be freely taken in and out. It is stored in the trash collection container 7. Note that a garbage bag may be provided instead of the trash collection container 7.

  The number of the inlets 8 and 9 is not limited to two, and may be one or three or more. In this example, the input ports 8 and 9 are arranged vertically, but may be arranged horizontally. Further, the number of the chutes 6 and 5 only needs to be equal to the number of the insertion ports 8 and 9.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a rectangular plate-shaped reinforcing plate 16 having holes corresponding to the input ports 8 and 9 formed on the back surface of the door 3 such that the input ports 8 and 9 face the above-described holes. In this state, the four corners are fixed by bolts 19.

  Further, in this example, the diameter of the upper input port 8 is larger than the diameter of the lower input port 9, and for example, the upper input port 8 can be sorted and input according to the size and type of the empty bottle to be input. I have.

  In addition, a transparent window 10 through which the inside of the housing 2 can be seen is formed below the door 3, and if the garbage collection container 7 and the garbage bag disposed inside the housing 2 are made transparent, The storage state of the waste stored in the garbage collection container 7 or the garbage bag or whether or not a suspicious object is thrown in can be visually recognized from the outside. However, the window 10 may be omitted.

  Next, the shutter mechanism will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the shutter mechanism includes a lid 11 having one end hinged to the back surface of the door 3 and capable of closing the input ports 8 and 9, and a lid 11 provided in the housing 2. When the door 3 is closed in a state in which the inlets 8 and 9 are closed, a frame 5 </ b> A as a contact portion that contacts the lid 11 is provided.

  The lid part 11 has a plate-shaped rectangular plate-shaped lid body 11A, a lower bracket 11C connected to one end side of the lid body 11A, and an upper bracket 11B connected to the other end side of the lid body 11A. It becomes.

  Further, a lid mounting member 13 is provided above the input port 8 on the upper surface of the back surface of the door 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lid mounting member 13 is composed of a bracket 13A composed of a pair of support pieces, and the lower bracket 11C of the lid 11 is rotatably supported between the support pieces of the bracket 13A. I have. As a result, one end of the lid 11 is hingedly connected to the back surface of the door 3, and when the lid 11 is rotated downward, the lid 11 covers and closes the input ports 8 and 9 from behind the door 3.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a frame 17 having an L-shaped cross section is provided on the back surface of the door 3 at a position facing the frame 5A when the door 3 is closed. Further, the upper bracket 11B provided on the other end side of the lid body 11A abuts on the protruding end of the L-shaped frame 17 when the lid 11 is rotated downward to close the inlets 8 and 9. It comes into contact.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the door 3 is closed in a state where the lid 11 is rotated downward and the slots 8 and 9 are closed, the upper bracket 11B of the lid 11 is attached to the frame 17 and the frame body. 5A, the lid 11 does not open even if it is pushed from the front side of the door 3.

  Further, the trash can 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with mounting means capable of connecting the lid 11 to the back surface of the door 3 in a state where the input ports 8 and 9 are open. As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment means rotates the lid 11 upward on the back surface of the door 3 with the hole 11D formed in the upper bracket 11B provided on the other end side of the lid main body 11A. The holding unit 14 is provided at a position facing the upper bracket 11 </ b> B, and a stopper 15 held by the holding unit 14.

  The hole 11D has a cross shape as shown in FIG. 6, and is formed so that the vertical width is longer than the horizontal width. Further, the stopper 15 is rotatably held around the axis by the holding section 14, and is opposite to the axis 15 </ b> A arranged at the center of the hole 11 </ b> D when the lid 11 opens the insertion ports 8 and 9. A hook portion 15B provided at an end on the holding portion side and protruding radially about a shaft 15A and having a width in the protruding direction smaller than the vertical width of the hole 11D and larger than the horizontal width, and an opposite axis of the hook portion 15B And a grip portion 15C formed in a semicircular ring shape on the side.

  Accordingly, when the lid 11 is connected to the back surface of the door 3 with the input ports 8, 9 open, as shown in FIG. 6A, the stopper 15 is inserted through the hole 11D. When the stopper 15 is rotated by 90 degrees as shown in FIG. 6B by gripping the grip 15C, the width of the hook 15B in the protruding direction is larger than the width of the hole 11D. The lid 11 is locked by being hooked on the bracket 11 </ b> B so as to be connected to the back surface of the door 3.

  When the locked state is released, the stopper 15 is rotated 90 degrees from the state shown in FIG. 6B, as opposed to the locked state, and the stopper 15 is unlocked as shown in FIG. 6A. Becomes Since the width of the hook 15B in the protruding direction is smaller than the vertical width of the hole 11D, the upper bracket 11B can be pulled out of the stopper 15 without the hook 15B being hooked on the upper bracket 11B.

  The shape of the hole 11D is not limited to the cross shape, and may be a rectangle or an ellipse as long as the vertical width and the horizontal width are different. In this example, the vertical width is larger than the horizontal width, but the horizontal width may be formed larger than the vertical width. Further, the width of the hook portion 15B in the protruding direction is set to be smaller than the width of one of the larger widths of the vertical width and the horizontal width of the hole 11D and larger than the width of the other smaller width of the vertical width and the horizontal width. I just need. Therefore, when the width of the hole 11D is larger than the height, the width of the hook 15B in the protruding direction may be set to be smaller than the width of the hole 11D and larger than the height.

  Further, the configuration of the above-described attachment means is an example, and the configuration of the attachment means is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the attachment means may be connected by a magnet.

  Further, when the door 3 is closed, a lock 18 made of a bent piece is rotatably provided on the back side of the door 3, and the lock 18 is rotated from the front of the door 3 and pulled to the frame on the entrance side of the housing 2. It can be locked by hanging.

  Prohibition marks 12A and 12B are provided at positions corresponding to the insertion ports 8 and 9 on the front side outer surface of the lid body 11A of the lid portion 11 so that the use of the trash box 1 is prohibited at a glance.

  As a result, when the inlets 8 and 9 are closed by the lid 11, as shown in FIG. 2, the prohibition marks 12A and 12B can be visually recognized from outside, so that the use of the trash can 1 is prohibited. , So that the user can understand at a glance.

  Further, the prohibition marks 12A and 12B may be a sticker attached to the lid body 11A, or may be printed directly on the lid body 11A. When printing is performed directly on the lid body 11A, the work of attaching a seal to the lid body 11A becomes unnecessary, and the workability of assembling the trash box 1 is improved.

  According to the present invention, since the lid 11 is hinged to the back surface of the door 3, the inlets 8, 9 can be opened and closed only by rotating the lid 11 upward or downward. Opening and closing work is easy.

  Thus, according to the present invention, compared to a method of inserting a plate-shaped lid into a guide portion provided on the back side of a door like a conventional trash can or a method of sticking a paper at an input port of a trash can, In the event of an emergency, the input ports 8 and 9 can be immediately and reliably closed, thereby suppressing the spread of terrorist damage.

  Further, when the door 3 is closed with the lid 11 closing the input ports 8 and 9, the frame 5 </ b> A is provided in the housing 2 as a contact portion that comes into contact with the lid 11. The lid 11 is pressed from the back side only by closing the lid, and the lid 11 cannot be pushed and opened from the front side. , 9 can be prevented from being opened.

  Furthermore, since the lid 11 is always held behind the door 3 irrespective of the open / closed state of the insertion ports 8 and 9, the lid 11 can be prevented from being lost. In addition, there is no need to screw the lid 11 so that the lid 11 is not pushed open from the front side, so that fasteners such as screws cannot be lost, and the input ports 8 and 9 are continuously provided. Opening and closing function can be used. In addition, since the lid 11 is held on the back side of the door 3, the lid 11 may fall on the feet of the worker and cause injury to the worker, or the cover 11 may be dropped due to falling off. Damage can also be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the stopper 15 is also integrally connected to the door 3, so that the stopper 15 is prevented from being lost.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the outer periphery of the frame 5A of the lower chute 5 is used as the contact portion, but the contact portion closes the door 3 with the lid 11 closing the input ports 8 and 9. The frame 5A of the lower chute 5 need not be the one that comes into contact with the lid 11 when it is pressed. However, if the outer periphery of the frame 5A of the lower chute 5 is used as the contact portion as in this example, no extra member is required, and the number of parts can be reduced.

  In addition, in the shutter mechanism of this example, when the lid 11 rotates downward, the inlets 8 and 9 are closed, and when the lid 11 rotates upward, the inlets 8 and 9 are opened. Alternatively, the side portions of the lid portion 11 may be hinged and rotated left and right to open and close the input ports 8 and 9.

  As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. However, it is obvious that modifications, variations, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
