Description

  The present invention relates to a trash can suitable for a storefront that prevents the introduction of trash having a relatively large volume.

  In-store trash cans are installed inside or outside eaves of stores such as convenience stores. An example of such a store trash can is a box type having a horizontally long inlet at the front and top of the container body. The in-store trash can is intended to dispose of trash such as wrapping paper, magazines, newspapers or lunch boxes in the store, and is not supposed to accept relatively large trash from outside the store.

  In recent years, there is a problem of throwing away trash from outside that is not supposed to be in the store trash bin when visiting a store, such as during a trip, on the way home, or during a daily shopping. Since such trash has a relatively large capacity, the store trash can fills up quickly. In particular, in the case of unsanitary conditions where trash is protruding from the trash, the guilt of the person who throws it away may fade and the trash may be placed around the trash.

  There is a problem that if the store trash bin is filled with trash, the trash generated from the original store cannot be thrown away. In addition, it is unsanitary if the carried garbage is placed around the trash bin, and there is a problem that flies gather and the impression of the dealer is worsened, and the labor is spent on garbage disposal. Therefore, the above problem can be solved if the store trash bin itself has a function of rejecting brought-in trash. However, in a store that sells to customers, even if it is a trash can, the overwhelming refusal function also leads to refusal to visit the store, complicating the problem.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a trash can having a function of suppressing the introduction of trash having a relatively large capacity, such as brought-in trash, into the trash can itself.

  In such a situation, the present inventor has intensively studied, and as a result, if a protrusion formed by forming an upper gap or a lower gap is formed in the approximate center in the left-right direction of the input port, the trash of a relatively large capacity can be obtained. In addition to suppressing the introduction, it was found that magazines and lunch boxes generated in the store could be introduced, and the present invention was completed.

  That is, the present invention is a trash can having a horizontally long inlet at the top or front and upper part of the container body, and when the inlet is viewed from the front, substantially in the center in the left-right direction of the inlet. The present invention provides a trash can characterized in that a protrusion extending in an orthogonal direction is formed.

  According to the present invention, since the protrusion for restricting the height of the charging port is provided at the substantially center in the left-right direction of the charging port, it is possible to suppress the loading of garbage having a relatively large capacity such as carried-in dust. In addition, the projection part does not completely divide the left and right of the inlet, and since there is a gap at the top part of the projection part, it is possible to input relatively thin and wide garbage such as magazines generated in the store. . In addition, since the left half or the right half of the slot has no height restriction, it is possible to throw in a relatively thick and narrow garbage such as a lunch box empty box.

It is a perspective view of the trash box in the 1st embodiment of the present invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash box in the 2nd Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash can in the 3rd Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash can in the 4th Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash can in the 5th Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash can in the 6th Embodiment of this invention. It is a front view of the trash box of FIG. It is a perspective view of the trash can in the seventh embodiment of the present invention.

  Next, a trash can according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present invention, the “front-rear” direction and the “left-right” direction refer to directions when the insertion port is viewed from the front (facing). That is, when the top plate has a slot, the position seen from above is the front view.

  The trash box 10 is a trash box having a horizontally long inlet 2 at the front and upper part of a box-shaped container body 1. When the inlet 2 is viewed from the front, the trash box 10 is positioned approximately at the center in the left-right direction. The protrusion 3 extending in the orthogonal direction is formed.

  The container body 1 has a box shape formed by a front plate 11, a rear plate 16, a right side plate 12, a left side plate 13, a bottom plate 14 and a top plate 15, and is a hollow portion in which garbage is collected. A small trash can covered with a plastic bag is usually accommodated in the inside cavity. The front plate 11 is openable and closable, is closed when the trash can 10 is used, and is opened when the small trash can is taken out.

  The insertion port 2 is surrounded by the upper ridge 5 which is the top plate 15, the lower dust introduction unit 4, and the left and right wall portions 6 and 7, and the front end of the insertion port 2 is inclined slightly upward. It is easy to put in garbage. Thereby, the depth length of the upper collar part 5 (top plate 15) is smaller than the depth length of the container main body 1. FIG. The member surrounded by the upper flange 5d, the lower dust introduction portion 4d, and the left and right wall portions 6d and 7d is manufactured as a member separate from the container body 1, and this is incorporated into the container body 1. There may be.

The shape of the insertion port 2 when viewed from the front is a substantially horizontally long rectangular shape. The aspect ratio (width: height) of the inlet 2 is preferably 3.5: 1 to 2.5: 1, and is 3: 1 in this example. The protrusion 3 is a standing upright object having a height h ₂ and a depth length equal to the depth length of the dust introduction portion 4. That is, the protrusion 3 forms an upper gap 9 that rises upward in the dust introduction part 4. Thereby, the protrusion 3 has a left-right width of the insertion port, and makes it easy to insert newspapers and magazines through the insertion port space formed by the upper gap (h ₁ -h ₂ ) 9. The height _{h 2} of the protrusions 3 is about 1 / 2-1 / 3 of the inlet height _{h 1} is preferred. If the protrusion 3 has such a height, it is possible to suppress the introduction of garbage having a relatively large capacity such as brought-in garbage. In addition, since the left and right halves of the insertion port are not limited in height, it is possible to input trash having a small width even when the empty box of the lunch box is thick. The protrusion 3 is not limited to the above-described shape, and may be, for example, tapered in a front view and rounded at a top, and may be inclined upward and slightly convex upward in a side view.

  Next, a trash can according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the position and shape of the protrusion. That is, the protrusion 3 a in the second embodiment is shorter in depth than the protrusion 3 and the installation position is behind the dust introduction part 4. The input port 2a in the trash box 10a has the same effect as the input port 2 in the trash box 10.

Next, a trash can according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is the installation position of the protrusion. In other words, the protrusion 3b in the third embodiment forms a lower gap 9b that hangs downward from the lower surface of the upper flange 5 (top plate 15) by a predetermined length (height of the protrusion). is there. Also in the trash 10b, the height _{h 4} of the projecting portion 3b about 1 / 2-1 / 3 of the inlet height _{h 3} is preferred. The input port 2b in the trash box 10b has the same effect as the input port 2 in the trash box 10, although the protrusion 3b is a suspended object.

  Next, a trash can according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the shape of the container main body, the shape of the inlet, and the shape of the protrusion. That is, the external shape of the container main body 1c in the fourth embodiment is a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped container. That is, the insertion port 2c is formed by hollowing out the upper part of the front plate 11 into a rectangular shape, and has a projection 3c having a predetermined height extending from the bottom to the center. That is, the protrusion 3c stands upward from the lower end surface of the window frame forming the insertion port 2c, and forms the upper gap 9c. Also in the trash can 10c, the height of the protrusion 3b is preferably about 1/2 to 1/3 of the height of the inlet. The input port 2c in the trash can 10c has the same function and effect as the input port 2 in the trash can 10, although the front end surface thereof faces the front.

Next, a trash can according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The fifth embodiment differs from the fourth embodiment in the shape of the inlet and the shape of the protrusion. That is, the insertion port 2d in the fifth embodiment is surrounded by the upper flange portion 5d, the lower dust introduction portion 4d, and the left and right wall portions 6d and 7d. It is a standing upright object having a predetermined height h ₂ and a depth length substantially the same as the depth length of the dust introduction portion 4d, and a front end portion slightly inclined upward toward the rear. The upper flange 5d may be the top plate 15 or may be a separate member different from the top plate 15. That is, the member surrounded by the upper flange 5d, the lower dust introduction portion 4d, and the left and right wall portions 6d and 7d is produced as a member separate from the container body 1, and this is incorporated into the container body 1. May be. In other words, the protruding portion 3d forms an upper gap 9d that stands upward from the dust introduction portion 4d. Also in the trash can 10d, the height of the protrusion 3d is preferably about 1/2 to 1/3 of the height of the inlet. The input port 2d in the trash can 10d has the same function and effect as the input port 2 in the trash can 10, although the front end face thereof faces the front.

  Next, a trash can according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the sixth embodiment, the difference from the fifth embodiment is the installation position of the protrusion. That is, the protrusion 3e in the sixth embodiment has a shape obtained by vertically inverting the protrusion 3d, and is suspended downward from the lower surface of the upper flange 5e by a predetermined length (the height of the protrusion). It is. Also in the trash can 10e, the height of the protrusion 3e is preferably about 1/2 to 1/3 of the height of the inlet. The input port 2e in the trash can 10e has the same function and effect as the input port 2 in the trash can 10, although the front end surface thereof is directed to the front and the protrusion 3e is a suspended object.

  Next, a trash can according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 13, the symbol F indicates the front. The seventh embodiment differs from the sixth embodiment in the installation position of the inlet, the installation position and shape of the protrusion. That is, the insertion port 2f in the seventh embodiment is formed in the top plate 15f of the rectangular parallelepiped container body 1, and the protrusion 3f is located at the center in the left-right direction of the insertion port 2f from the rear plate. It extends forward and forms a gap 9f at its tip. Also in the trash can 10f, the height (length in the front-rear direction) of the protrusion 3f is preferably about 1/2 to 1/3 of the inlet height (front-rear width). The input port 2f in the trash box 10f is directed upward, and although trash can be entered from above, the same operation and effect as the input port 2 in the trash box 10 can be obtained. The protrusion 3f may extend backward from the front plate.

  In addition, the trash box of this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various modification can be taken. The external shape of the container body 1 is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 7. For example, the container main body 1 may be incorporated in a horizontally long table and only the input port may appear in the external appearance.

  In the present invention, the trash can that can be opened and closed is not limited to the front plate, and may be any one of the rear plate, the right side plate, the left side plate, and the top plate, and not the opening and closing of the door. For example, the rear plate may be omitted, and the inside small trash can can be taken in and out from the rear.

  Further, in the present invention, the shape of the inlet is not limited to the one in which the front end opening of the inlet is slightly upward as in the first embodiment, and may be, for example, slightly downward. In this case, when viewed from the user, the protrusion is hidden behind the top plate and cannot be seen, so that the user's discomfort is alleviated. Moreover, the upper collar part and the lower dust introduction part that form the insertion port are not limited to the plate-like object having the horizontal surface as described above, and may be, for example, an arc shape that is slightly convex upward. When the upper collar and the lower dust introduction portion are slightly convex upwards and the projection is slightly on the back side, the design is excellent and the dust can be easily put into the product.

  In the present invention, the protrusion is not limited to the center in the left-right direction of the inlet, and may be slightly left or slightly right. When the width dimension in the left-right direction of the inlet is W, when the protrusion is offset to the left, the position of the protrusion is W / 4 to W / 2, preferably W / 3 to W / from the left end of the inlet. When the protrusion is offset to the right side, the position of the protrusion is from W / 4 to W / 2, preferably from W / 3 to W / 2 from the right end of the inlet. It's okay. In this way, when the protrusion is slightly offset, one side can be slightly wider than the one installed at the center, so large garbage such as a lunch box with a slightly wider width. Is easy to input.

  In the present invention, there is no restriction on how to use the left side inlet and the right side inlet divided by the protrusions in the inlet, and it may only restrict the introduction of large-sized carry-in garbage. It may be a sorting trash can in which the input port side is a bin and a can trash bin, and the other input port side is a plastic trash bin. In the case of the trash bin for sorting, two small trash bins are installed in the trash bin. Even in the trash bin for sorting, it is possible to regulate the input of a large volume, that is, a collection of several trash.
