DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to an empty bottle, an empty can, a magazine,
The present invention relates to a garbage container to be used for inputting garbage such as newspapers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional trash container, for example, FIG.
There is one as shown in FIG. The trash container a in FIG. 7 is a trash container for newspapers and magazines, the trash container b in FIG. 8 is for general trash, and the trash container c in FIG. 9 is a trash container for separating empty cans and empty bottles. These conventional trash containers a, b, c
A hole is made in the upper surface of the garbage container by the thickness of the garbage container to form a garbage inlet, and newspapers, magazines, empty cans, empty bottles, and other garbage that are thrown into the garbage container through the hole To collect.

[0003]

However, in the above-described conventional trash container, the thickness of the trash container is formed as an opening by forming an opening corresponding to the thickness of the trash container. Could not afford the space. For this reason, there is a problem that the trash cannot be put into the trash container unless the trash is accurately put into the trash inlet.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, not only a trash container having a trash inlet d formed on an upper inclined surface, but also
As shown in FIG. 10, even in the trash container having the trash container d formed in the vertical front surface, the trash container formed by opening the thickness of the trash container by the thickness of the trash container allows rainwater to flow from the trash container. There was a problem that it easily entered the container. The present invention has been developed in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a trash container that is easy to put garbage and that can minimize the entry of rainwater from the inlet. To provide.

[0005]

The present invention has the following configuration in order to effectively achieve the above object. That is, in a refuse container having a dust inlet provided on an upper inclined surface or a vertical surface, the dust inlet is formed so that the opening area is gradually reduced from the outer end to the inner end.

The cross-sectional shape of the dust inlet may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, square, or various other shapes. The dust inlet can be freely formed in the lid, in the front wall of the dust container main body, or in another portion.

[0007]

As described above, since the dust inlet is formed in a funnel shape so that the opening area gradually decreases from the outer end to the inner end, for example, the opening at the inner end which is the actual dust inlet is provided. Even if the area is small, the open area at the outer end of the dust inlet is larger than that at the inner end. Since the garbage is received on the inner peripheral surface from the outer end to the inner end of the inlet and guided to the inner end of the garbage inlet, the garbage can be reliably charged into the garbage container.

Furthermore, since there is a certain distance from the outer end of the inlet to the inner end of the dust inlet, which is the actual inlet, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the dust container. Also, rainwater that hits the inner peripheral surface of the dust inlet from the outer end to the inner end flows along the inner peripheral surface and does not enter the dust container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a garbage container according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is a garbage container for separating empty cans and empty bottles. The trash container 1 is composed of a trash container main body 2 and a lid 3.
The lid 3 is provided at the upper opening of the garbage container main body 2 so as to be openable and closable. The lid 3 has a front part 3a inclined as shown in the figure, and two dust inlets 4 are formed in the inclined front part 3a.

Each of the dust inlets 4 is formed in a funnel shape having a gradually decreasing opening area from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b. Preferably, the depth from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b of the dust inlet 4 is 15 mm or more. As described above, the entrance portion (the dust receiving portion) of the dust input port 4 is wide and narrows toward the inner end 4b which is the actual dust input port.
Even if the dust is not thrown into the dust inlet 4 properly, the dust can be thrown into the dust inlet 4 by the wide inlet (the outer end 4a of the dust inlet 4). Is guided to the trash container.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, since the distance from the outer end 4a of the dust inlet 4 to the inner end 4b of the dust inlet 4, which is the actual inlet, is 15 mm or more, the rainwater into the dust container is not removed. Intrusion can be prevented. Also, the rainwater which hits the dust inlet 4 on the inner peripheral surface 4c from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b is also formed on the inclined front part 3a of the lid 3 because the dust inlet 4 is formed on the inclined front part 3a. It can be prevented from flowing out through the inner peripheral surface 4c and entering the trash container.

FIG. 3 shows a garbage inlet 4 which is a main part of the present invention.
In this embodiment, an opening / closing lid 5 is provided which acts to always seal the inner end 4b of the dust inlet 4 by the resilient bias of a spring (not shown). The function and effect of the dust inlet 4 are the same as those of the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted. FIG. 4 shows a trash container 1 according to another embodiment. This trash container 1 is a separation type trash container having a flap 6 and an empty can. The configuration of the trash inlet 4 is the same as that of the embodiment shown in FIG. The same is true.

FIG. 5 to FIG. 6 show garbage containers 7 for newspapers and magazines A.
In the trash container 7, the trash container 4 has a trash inlet 4 formed in a vertical wall surface 7a in front of the trash container 7. The dust inlet 4 also has a gradually decreasing opening area from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b as in the previous embodiment. The shape of the outer end 4a is a rectangular shape into which a magazine A or the like can be easily inserted. In the trash container 7, since the trash inlet 4 is formed on the vertical wall surface 7a, it is possible to further prevent rainwater from entering the trash container.

[0014]

As described above, in the refuse container of the present invention, the refuse input port is formed so that the opening area is gradually reduced from the outer end to the inner end, so that the refuse input port can be formed at the actual input port. Even if it is not necessary to aim at a certain inner end and throw in the garbage, the thrown garbage can be received at the wide entrance, which is the outer end of the trash inlet, and can be reliably thrown into the trash container.

Further, since there is a certain distance from the outer end of the input port to the inner end of the trash input port, which is an actual input port, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the trash container.
Rainwater that hits the inner peripheral surface from the outer end to the inner end of the trash inlet can also be prevented from flowing along the inner peripheral surface and flowing out to enter the trash container.
