 The present invention relates generally to a waste container, and more particularly to a waste container for industrial waste in which a large amount of waste of the same or similar material is discarded.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 FIG. 9 shows an example of a conventional general waste container. The garbage container 110 is composed of a container part 112 and a lid part 114. In this example, the container portion 112 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is wider on the upper end side which is an opening. The opening peripheral edge of the container part 112 and the peripheral edge of the lid part 114 are shaped to fit with each other, and with the lid part 114 placed on the outer surface of the container part 112, a pair of lid hooks 118 are provided. The lid 114 is fixed to the container 112. In actual use, it is usually not necessary to directly put the waste into the container 112, but first, the waste bag 120 is first expanded and installed in the container 112, and then the waste is put into the waste bag. Has been done. At this time, after the bag mouth of the dust bag 120 is folded around and hooked around the opening of the container 112, the lid 114 is mounted and fixed, so that the dust bag 120 is also fixed at the same time. After setting the dust bag in this way, the lid 114 is removed and the dust is thrown in each time it is necessary to throw in the dust. Normally used garbage bags are transparent or opaque bags made of resin such as polyethylene, and the size should be suitable for the internal volume of the used garbage container (eg 70 liters or 90 liters). Is optimal.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In recent years, industrial waste has been increasing more and more, and its disposal has become a serious problem. Examples of industrial waste include paper waste from offices, resin waste from production sites, and cloth waste. Generally, these industrial wastes are collected for a fee, unlike household wastes, which is a heavy burden for businesses. For industrial waste that is temporarily stored in the garbage containers as described above and collected in bags, the collection cost is usually set for each bag. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the processing cost by putting as much dust as possible into one bag. Therefore, when the dust bag in the above-mentioned dust container becomes full, the work of pushing the dust by hand and compressing it is frequent. Will be done. Furthermore, even after taking out the trash bag from the trash container, the trash inside is compressed, and attempts are made to pack as much trash as possible.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional garbage container, for example, if a user tries to push the trash by hand with the lid open, if a given portion is pushed in, another portion will be pushed because the opening is wide. It often happens that it rises and tries to overflow from the opening, resulting in very poor workability. In addition, when the trash bag is taken out of the trash container and then compressed to pack more trash, the trash bag is often damaged. In particular, dust such as crushed pieces or thin pieces of resin or cardboard easily tears the dust bag.

As described above, in the conventional waste container, the work of compressing and packing the waste in order to effectively utilize the internal volume of the processing waste bag cannot be performed efficiently. For this reason, not only the cost for processing (that is, the number of dust bags) cannot be reduced, but also a large space is occupied in storing the dust bags after storing the dust. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a waste container that can efficiently compress and pack industrial waste in a waste bag with a simple structure.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, since a dust container having a container portion and a lid portion is provided with a dust inlet in the central portion of the lid and a means for fixing the bag mouth of the dust bag at the periphery of the dust inlet. , The garbage bag is set in the garbage container with the opening smaller than before. With this dust input port, dust can be input without removing the lid from the container.

Further, a hand or a compression tool can be inserted into the inside of the waste container (that is, the inside of the waste bag) from the waste input port to push and compress the contents. At that time, since the opening of the dust bag is small, the dust does not jump out from another part due to the recoil when pushed.

Further, when the dust is compressed and packed, the dust bag is in an expanded state in which the dust bag expands and extends along the entire inner surface of the accommodating portion formed by the container portion and the lid portion except the opening portion. Becomes As a result, since the dust bag is supported by the inner surface of the storage portion, it can resist the pressing force and can be prevented from being damaged.

[0015]

[Embodiment of device]

 Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. FIG. 1 is an external view of a waste container 10 which is an example of the present invention. The waste container 10 is mainly composed of a container portion 12 and a lid portion 14. The container portion 12 is a substantially cylindrical container having a wide upper end as in the conventional example shown in FIG. 9, and has an opening at the upper end. The lid portion 14 has a flange 14a on the peripheral edge thereof, and the flange portion 14a is combined with the upper end peripheral edge of the container portion 12 to join the container portion 12 and the lid portion 14 to form a housing portion inside thereof. The connecting portion between the container portion 12 and the lid portion 14 may be the same as the conventional one. For example, as shown in the drawing, the arm portion 18b of the pair of lid stoppers 18 attached to the outer surface of the container portion 12 serves to remove the lid portion 14 from the lid portion 14. The peripheral edge is pressed against and fixed to the upper peripheral edge of the container part 12. The lid hooking device 18 is rotatable about a hooking device shaft 18a fixed to the container portion 12, and the lid can be fixed or removed by rotating these. However, the coupling mode of the container part 12 and the lid part 14 is not limited to this example, and various well-known mechanisms can be used.

A feature of the present invention is that a dust input port 15 is formed in the central portion of the lid portion 14. The outside and the inside (that is, the accommodating portion) of the waste container communicate with each other through the waste input port 15. Further, a fixing mechanism for fixing the bag mouth portion of the dust bag 20 is provided on the periphery of the dust input port 15. In FIG. 1, most of the dust bag 20 is not shown because it is received in the dust container 10, but only the bag mouth portion is visible outside. In this example, the bag mouth of the garbage bag 20 is folded back at the bag hooking portion (see 14b in FIG. 3) provided on the periphery of the garbage inlet 15 and then the bag fixing tool 16 is fitted to the garbage bag 20 so that the garbage bag is closed. 20 is fixed to the periphery of the dust input port 15. This is the state in which the dust bag 20 is set in the dust container 10. Since the bag fixing tool 16 is a removable component, the bag fixing tool 16 and the lid portion 14 may be connected via a chain 23 or the like having an appropriate length in order to prevent loss. In the illustrated example, attachment rings 22 and 24 are provided on the bag fixing tool 16 and the lid portion 14 to attach the chain 23, respectively. When using this dust container, it is sufficient to throw dust from the dust inlet 15 and it is not necessary to remove the lid 14 from the container 12 each time.

FIG. 2 is a schematic vertical sectional view showing a usage mode of the waste container 10 according to the present invention of FIG. A garbage bag 20 is set in the housing portion 11 formed by the container portion 12 and the lid portion 14 of the garbage container 10. The bag mouth of the dust bag 20 is fixed by a bag fixing tool 16 at the periphery of the dust input port 15. In each of the drawings of FIG. 2, the dust bag 20 is shown in an expanded state in which the dust bag 20 is inflated and spreads along the inner surface of the accommodating portion 11. However, when the dust bag 20 is set, it becomes such an expanded shape. It is not necessary to have it, and it is sufficient that the dust bag 20 has an internal volume that can take such a shape when the dust is full. Therefore, it is preferable that the inner volume of the dust bag 20 is about 10 to 20% larger than the volume of the housing portion 11 of the dust container 10.

FIG. 2 (A) shows a state in which less than half of the containing portion 11 still contains dust. FIG. 2 (B) shows a state in which the thrown-in dust is accumulated and enters the vicinity of the dust input port 15. In such a state, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), a hand is inserted through the dust input port 15 to gently push in and compress dust that has accumulated. It can be pushed in any direction, not just downwards, resulting in more room for additional waste. When dust is further put in the space thus emptied and dust is collected again near the dust inlet 15, the same compression work is repeated. At the time of this compression work, the dust bag 20 is pressed against the inner surface of the accommodating portion 11 and has a shape along this surface. In this way, the dust bag 20 is supported by the inner surface of the accommodating portion 11 against the force pushed by the hand, so that there is no risk of damage. From this, it is preferable that the material of the dust container 10 has elasticity to some extent. This is because when the pressing force for compression is applied, the inner surface of the waste container elastically receives this, so that the pressing force is dispersed and it is possible to avoid applying a concentrated force that damages the waste bag. Is.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the garbage bag 20 is taken out after the work shown in FIG. 2C is performed to the limit and the garbage bag 20 is sufficiently filled with the garbage. First, the fixing tool 16 of the dust bag 20 is removed, and the bag mouth portion 20a is fastened with the tape 50 or the like. After that, the lid stopper 18 is pivoted outward to remove the lid portion 14. Then, the garbage bag 20 is taken out from the container portion 12.

As is apparent from FIG. 3, the bag hooking portion 14b provided on the peripheral edge of the dust input port 15 of the lid portion 14 is formed in a wall shape protruding upward from the peripheral edge. When setting the trash bag 20, pass the bag mouth of the trash bag upward from below the trash input port 15 and then fold it back outward so that the bag mouth of the trash bag 20 is opened on the bag hooking portion 14b. By fitting the bag fixing tool 16 from above, the garbage bag 20 is held between the bag fixing tool 16 and the bag hooking portion 14b.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the bag fixing tool 16. FIG. 4 (A) is a plan view seen from above, and FIG. 4 (B) is taken along line 1-1 of FIG. 4 (A). FIG. In this example, the bag fixing tool 16 has an annular shape, and as apparent from the cross section shown in FIG. 4 (B), is provided with a groove 16a along the ring on the lower surface side of the annular portion. This groove 16a is a fitting groove that fits into the bag hooking portion 14b of FIG. 3, and the degree of this fitting is such that the garbage bag moves when the garbage bag is sandwiched between the bag hooking portion 14b and the bag hooking portion 14b. It does not come off. Since the bag fixing tool 16 is frequently attached and detached and it is considered that strength deterioration and cracks are likely to occur with a hard resin, it is preferably made of an elastic body. It would also be preferable to have spares for actual products.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of another bag fixing tool. The bag fixing tool 60 in FIG. 5 also serves as a lid 64 for the dust input port 15. Depending on the type of dust, it may be desirable to provide a lid on the dust inlet 15 in order to prevent odors or for aesthetic purposes. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the function of the lid is added to the function of the bag fixing tool. 5A is a plan view seen from above, and FIG. 5B is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 5A. The lower half is an annular bag fixing portion 62, and a fitting groove 62a with a bag hanging portion is provided on the lower surface side. A lid 64 and an opening / closing mechanism for the lid 64 are provided on the upper half. In this example, the lid 64 is formed into a substantially disc according to the shape of the dust input port 15. An opening / closing shaft 64a and a hinge portion 64b are provided on a part of the periphery of the disc, and the opening / closing shaft 64a is A coil spring 65 is provided to surround the circumference. The coil spring 65 is installed such that one end of the coil spring 65 abuts on the lower surface of the lid 64 and extends, and the other end abuts on the upper portion of the bag fixing portion 62 so that the coil spring 65 moves in the direction of opening the lid 64. Is urged.

On the other hand, an opening / closing tool 66 for opening / closing the lid 64 is installed on the side facing the hinge 64b. The opening / closing tool 66 is rotatable about its axis 66a, and one end 66b of the opening / closing tool 66 is engaged with the end 64c of the lid 64 by a coil spring 68, as shown in FIG. It is urged in the direction to hold down. As a result, the lid 64 is closed. When the lid 64 is opened, the other end 66c of the opening / closing tool 66 is pushed with a finger to raise the end 66b, and the end 64c of the lid 64 is released to open the lid 64. When closing, the lid 64 is pushed so that the end 64c of the lid 64 is below the end 66b of the opening / closing tool. In this way, the lid 64 can be opened and closed with one touch. Of course, another known mechanism can be used as the opening / closing mechanism of the lid 64, and the design is arbitrary. Further, the lid 64 may be opaque or may be transparent so that the inside can be seen.

Further, as still another mode of the dust input port lid, for example, a screw groove is provided on the outer side of the annular portion of the bag fixing tool 16 of FIG. 3 and a screw fastening type input port lid is screwed into the screw groove. Good.

FIG. 6 is a view showing another example of the garbage container according to the present invention. In the waste container of the example of FIG. 6, a transparent window 70a is provided in the lid portion 14 and a slit-shaped transparent window 70b is provided in the container portion 70b so that the inside can be visually recognized. In this case, the dust bag 20 is transparent or translucent so that the contents can be confirmed. When the transparent window is provided, it is not necessary to provide it on both the lid and the container as in the illustrated example, and either one may be provided. Further, the shape and number of transparent windows can be set arbitrarily.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a device suitable for use with the garbage container according to the present invention and a usage mode thereof. 7A is a side view of the compression tool 80, and FIG. 7B is a plan view thereof. The compression tool 80 includes a disk-shaped compression plate portion 80a and a rod-shaped support rod portion 80b that extends from the central portion of one side of the compression plate portion. The compression plate portion 80a is made of a flexible material and is an elastic body such as rubber. The support rod portion 80b is a rigid body and is firmly connected to the compression plate portion 80a. A method of using the compression tool will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 (C) and (D). As shown in FIG. 2 (B), when dust is accumulated up to the vicinity of the input port 15, the compression plate portion 80a of the compression tool 80 is inserted from the input port 15 into the waste container as shown in FIG. 7 (C). Insert and hold the support rod 80b to push in dust to perform compression work. Since the compression plate portion 80a has a wide flat surface and is flexible, it can compress dust while appropriately deforming, which is more efficient than performing compression work by hand. Furthermore, it is also effective when dealing with the type of dust that may damage your hands if you work directly. For example, it is common for the skin to be cut off at the edge of a piece of paper, even if it is not particularly called a hazardous material.

In the compression tool 80 shown in FIG. 7, the diameter of the compression plate portion 80 a is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the dust input port 15. This is to store the compression tool 80 as shown in FIG. 7D when the compression tool 80 is not used. If the supporting rod is pierced into the dust container in the inverted manner as described above, a separate storage space is not required, and at the same time, the compression plate 80a also serves as a lid for the dust inlet 15. Even if the size of the compression plate portion 80a is slightly larger than that of the charging port 15, it can be pushed into the dust container while being deformed and can be pulled out because it is a flexible elastic body. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), if the thickness of the disk forming the compression plate portion 80a is thin near the periphery thereof, insertion / removal into / from the dust container becomes easier.

FIG. 8 is a view showing still another example of the garbage container according to the present invention. FIG. 8A is an exploded view showing the container portion 12, the lid portion 94, and the bag fixing tool 16, respectively. The lid portion 94 of the rubber container in FIG. 8 has a substantially hemispherical dome portion made of an elastic body such as rubber. A dust inlet is provided in the center of the lid 94, which is similar to the previous example. On the dome portion 94a of the lid portion 94, a pair of grips 94b are provided with a dust input port interposed therebetween. This trash container is the same as the trash container of the previous example except for the lid 94, and the bag mouth of the trash bag is set at the periphery of the trash input port. Although not shown, a lid that can be opened and closed may be provided at the dust input port. A usage mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 (B) and 8 (C). As shown in FIG. 8B, the pair of grips 94b are grasped and pushed downward. Then, since the dome portion 94a is an elastic body such as rubber, the dome portion 94a is inverted and projected downward as shown in FIG. 8C. In this state, the dust in the dust container is pushed and compressed. If left as it is turned upside down like this, the dust becomes stable in a compressed state. When the amount of dust becomes large and the dome does not easily turn over, it is possible to press the dome portion 94a alternately while holding the handle 94b and partially indent the dust, thereby compressing the dust inside.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to several embodiments, it will be apparent that various design modifications are possible in accordance with the spirit of the present invention. For example, although only a substantially cylindrical garbage container and a circular garbage inlet are shown, the present invention can be implemented with a rectangular shape or another shape.

[0030]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, the dust container is provided with a dust inlet that can be charged without removing the lid, and a simple mechanism is provided to compress the dust accumulated in the container. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of removing the lid each time the dust is discarded, and it is possible to store more dust in one dust bag without damaging the dust bag. Particularly in the case of industrial waste, a large amount of dust of the same or similar material is often generated, and one dust bag is filled with the same type of dust, so it is compressed more uniformly than when different types of dust are mixed. Therefore, the present invention can be applied most effectively.

That is, it is possible to reduce the processing cost of the garbage bag and also reduce the storage space until it is collected. Further, the mechanism of the waste container according to the present invention is simple and can be manufactured without requiring a special manufacturing cost, and is a very useful waste container as compared with the conventional waste container.
