Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact refuge box suitable for classifying and collecting refuge. <P>SOLUTION: This refuge box includes a refuge box body 10 including storage rooms 11 parallel in a vertical direction, a lid 20 vertically oscillatably supported at an opening lower edge of each storage room 11, a frame 30 and a holder 50 each of which is vertically oscillatably supported at an upper end of the lid 20 with a lower end as a center to hold a feed port of a refuse bag in an opened state, and a spring 40 for making an upper end of the frame 30 slidably abut on the ceiling of the storage room 11. When each lid 20 is oscillated in an open direction, the frame 30 is drawn in the front direction, while sliding to the ceiling of the storage room 11 by interlocking with the oscillation, and the feed port of the refuge bag appears. Since the refuge box has a form in which the refuse bag is directly set to the storage room 11, the whole of the refuge box is made compact. Even if guide pins are provided on right and left sides at the upper end of the frame 30, instead of the spring 40, and the guide pins are slidably supported by guide rails provided in right and left upper parts of the storage room 11, the same function and effect can be obtained. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&amp;INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a trash box suitable for separately collecting trash.

In response to the recent situation in which separate collection of garbage in each local government has become normal, an attempt has been made to make the waste bin itself a structure suitable for separate collection.
For example, as shown in FIG. 11, there is a trash box 2 in which a plurality of sorting boxes 60 arranged in parallel are housed in a trash box body 10 whose front is open. The sorting box 60 is housed in the trash box body 10 so as to be swingable about the lower end portion thereof, and can be pulled out from the opening of the trash box body 10 by a swinging operation (see Patent Document 1).
Here, if the type of garbage to be put into each sorting box 60 in which garbage bags (trash collection plastic bags) are set is determined in advance in accordance with the local sorting instructions, This is convenient because sorting is performed automatically.

However, since this type of trash box 2 has a double structure of the trash box body 10 and the separation box 60, if the trash storage space in the separation box 60 is sufficiently taken, the overall size is increased.
In addition, as shown in the drawing, the height of the trash box body 10 needs to be sufficiently higher than that of the trash box 60 so that the upper edge of the trash box 60 does not collide with the ceiling of the trash box body 10 when it is swung. Therefore, from this point of view, an increase in size is inevitable, and there remains a problem in the sealing performance of garbage.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a compact waste bin suitable for separate collection of waste.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the recycle bin according to the invention is
A trash box body having one or a plurality of storage rooms for storing garbage bags therein, each storage room opening to the front side;
A lid that can be swung up and down around the lower end supported by the lower edge of the opening of the trash can body, and that closes and opens the opening by the swinging operation;
A frame that is swingable in the vertical direction around the lower end supported by the upper end of the lid, and in contact with the opening of the garbage bag stored in the storage room,
A holder for fixing the input port of the garbage bag to the frame;
And a spring that slidably abuts the upper end of the frame against the ceiling of the storage room of the trash can body by urging the frame away from the lid.

Or, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems,
A trash box body having one or a plurality of storage rooms for storing garbage bags inside, each storage room opening to the front side;
A lid that can be swung up and down around the lower end supported by the lower edge of the opening of the trash can body, and that closes and opens the opening by the swinging operation;
Guide pins on the left and right sides of the upper end, swingable in the vertical direction around the lower end supported by the upper end of the lid, and brought into contact with the input port of the garbage bag stored in the storage room open Frame,
A holder for fixing an input port of the trash box to the frame;
And a guide rail that slidably supports a guide pin at the upper end of the frame at the upper left and right sides of the storage room.

When the trash can lid is swung in the opening direction, the frame is pulled out in the front direction while sliding along the ceiling or guide rail of the storage room, and held open in the frame. Garbage bags can be put in the bag because the garbage bag slot appears.
When the lid is swung in the direction to close the lid, the frame is slid along the ceiling or guide rail of the storage room and pushed in the back direction in conjunction with this, and the trash bag held by the frame is stored in the storage room. Fits in. In this way, it is possible to throw away garbage with a simple operation, and when there are a plurality of storage rooms, it is possible to separate the garbage.

  Also, instead of the conventional double structure of the separation box for setting the trash can body and the trash bag, the trash bag is set directly in the storage room of the trash box body, so the whole waste can be made compact. Is planned.

  Since the trash bin according to the invention is configured as described above, it can be made compact and suitable for separate collection.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
The trash box 1 of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 includes a trash box body 10 for storing the trash bag B, a lid 20 for opening and closing the trash box body 10, a frame 30 and a holder for fixing the input port of the trash bag B. 50 and a spring 40 that biases the frame 30 in one direction.

  The trash box main body 10 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape has a top plate, a bottom plate, left and right side plates, and a back plate, and an internal space thereof is partitioned into a plurality of storage rooms 11 arranged in parallel vertically by a partition plate, and each storage room 11 is a front surface. Open in the direction. These storage rooms 11 can store a general-purpose garbage bag B.

Further, a substantially square ring-shaped box frame 12 is fixed to the opening of the trash box main body 10. The box frame 12 has upper and lower frames respectively corresponding to the top plate and the bottom plate of the trash box body 10, left and right frames respectively corresponding to the left and right side plates, and middle frames respectively corresponding to the partition plates.
As shown in FIG. 6, downward hooks 13 are continuously formed on the rear surfaces of the upper and middle frames, and a bearing portion 14 is disposed slightly above the lower and middle frames of the left and right frames. Is formed.

  On the other hand, the substantially square lid 20 is arranged in parallel vertically corresponding to each opening of the storage room 11 of the trash box body 10. Each lid 20 is swingable in the vertical direction around the lower end portion by bearing the lower end portion thereof on the bearing portion 14 of the box frame 12. Accordingly, when the lid 20 is swung, the opening of each storage room 11 can be individually closed and opened.

The lid 20 bulges in a curved shape on the front side except for the peripheral edge portion, and a tab 21 is formed on the upper edge portion of the front surface to be pinched when swinging.
In addition, outward flanges 22 are formed on the left and right sides of the lid 20, and when the lid 20 closes the opening of the storage room, the flanges 22 abut against the left and right frames of the box frame 12 to serve as stoppers. The lid 20 is prevented from entering the storage room 11.

Bearing portions 23 are respectively formed on the left and right upper edges of the back surface of the lid 20, and a channel type casing 24 is fixed between the bearing portions 23. As shown in FIG. 6B, the slider 25 is accommodated in the casing 24 in a state where the slider 25 is slidable in the vertical direction and is prevented from coming off, and is further urged upward by the coil spring 26.
Therefore, as shown in the figure, when the opening of the storage room is closed by the lid 20, the slider 25 is engaged with the hook 13 of the box frame 12 so that the closed state can be locked.

In addition, the substantially ring-shaped frame 30 has a lower end portion supported by a bearing portion 23 of the lid 20 and can swing in the vertical direction around the lower end portion.
A ring-shaped ring 31 protruding in the front direction is formed on the inner diameter edge of the frame 30, and a notch 32 is formed by cutting from the ring 31 to the center of the upper end of the frame 30.
As shown in FIG. 7, the garbage bag B stored in the storage room of the box body 10 is mounted so as to abut on the front surface of the frame 30 with the input port opened.

In addition, a hook 33 is formed at the upper end of the frame 30 so as to be continuous in the left and right direction and project in the front direction.
Here, as shown in FIG. 6A, the bearing portion 23 of the lid 20 is loaded with a spring 40 (torsion spring) that urges the frame 30 in a direction away from the lid 20. The upper end portion including 33 is pushed up and is in contact with the ceiling of the storage room 11 of the box body 10.
As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of recesses 34 arranged in the circumferential direction are formed on the front surface of the frame 30.

Next, the lower end portion of the substantially ring-shaped holder 50 is respectively supported by the bearing portion 23 of the lid 20 like the frame 30 and can swing in the vertical direction around the lower end portion.
On the left and right sides of the holder 50, hooks 51 projecting in the back direction are formed, and a plurality of round pins 52 are formed in parallel in the circumferential direction on the back surface as shown in FIG. Yes.
Here, when the holder 50 is brought close to the frame 30, the hook 51 engages with the left and right edges of the frame 30, so that the holder 50 holds the input port of the garbage bag B as shown in FIG. The frame 30 is fixed.

  In this state, the ring 31 of the frame 30 fits into the inner diameter of the holder 50, and the pin 52 of the holder 50 fits into the recess 34 of the frame 30. It is designed to be held firmly so that it does not move.

The configuration of the trash can 1 of the first embodiment is as described above, and the operation thereof will be described next.
When the lid 20 is swung from the closed state to the opening direction, the frame 30 moves in the front direction while the hook 33 slides on the ceiling of the storage room 11 in conjunction with this, as shown in FIGS. Pulled out.
Therefore, the input port of the garbage bag B fixed to the frame 30 appears in front, so that garbage can be input. Here, if each storage room 11 is assigned to a type according to the sorting instruction of the area, the garbage can be sorted automatically.

  When the frame 30 is pulled out to a certain extent, the hook 33 engages with the hook 13 of the box frame 12 as shown in FIG. 4, so that the frame 30 does not come out of the storage room 11 in a normal specification state. Yes.

  On the other hand, when the lid 20 is swung in the closing direction, as shown in FIG. 7, the frame 30 is pushed back in the back direction while the hook 33 slides on the upper surface of the storage chamber 11 in association with this. It fits in the storage room 11. In this way, garbage can be thrown away with a simple operation, which is very convenient.

When removing the garbage bag B, first, as shown by a chain line in FIGS. 3 and 4, the hook 50 of the holder 50 is disengaged from the frame 30 and the holder 50 is swung away from the frame 30. And the insertion of the input port of the garbage bag B is released.
Next, the frame 30 is pushed down against the bias of the spring 40 to release the engagement of the hook 33 with the hook 13 of the box frame 12, and the frame 30 is further swung as shown in FIG. Pull out.
In this state, the input port of the garbage bag B is passed through the notch 32 of the frame 30, and the garbage bag B is removed from the frame 30. Since this notch 32 is present, it is not necessary to pass through the ring of the frame 30 when removing the garbage bag B, and the workability is good.
By the way, when attaching the garbage bag B, the reverse operation described above, that is, setting the garbage bag B to the frame 30, engaging the holder 50 with the frame 30, pushing down the frame 30, and Needless to say, the pushing operations may be performed sequentially.

  Since the trash box 1 is a system in which the trash bag B is set directly in the storage room 11 of the trash box body 10, the entire trash box 1 can be made compact. Moreover, since the garbage bag B can be sealed in the trash box 1, it is also hygienic.

In the trash can 1 of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, cylindrical guide pins 35 are provided on the left and right of the upper end of the frame 30, respectively, and the guides extend in the front-rear direction on the left and right upper portions of the storage room 11. Rails 15 are provided.
And the structure is different from the first embodiment in that the guide pin 35 at the upper end of the frame 30 is inserted into the guide rail 15 and slidably supported without using the spring 40.
Since other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment except for details to be described later, description thereof will be omitted.

Also in this case, when the lid 20 is swung in the opening direction, the frame 30 is pulled out in the front direction while sliding along the guide rail 15 of the storage room 11 in conjunction with this.
On the other hand, when the lid 20 is swung in the closing direction, the frame 30 is pushed back in the back direction while sliding along the guide rail 15 of the storage room 11 in conjunction with this, so that the frame 30 is accommodated in the storage room 11. In this way, the same effects as those of the first embodiment described above can be obtained.

As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, wedge-shaped insertion ports 16 are provided at positions corresponding to the guide rails 15 on the left and right frames of the box frame 12, and the guide pins 35 of the frame 30 are connected to the guide rails 15. When installing, it comes in from here.
The wedge-shaped insertion port 16 whose left and right widths become smaller toward the back of the storage room has a check pawl-like action, so that the guide pin 35 once inserted does not come out of the insertion port 16 in a normal use state. The entire frame 30 is not pulled out of the storage room 11.

  On the other hand, circular release holes 36 are provided on the left and right sides of the notch 32 of the frame 30, respectively. When the entire frame 30 is desired to be pulled out from the storage room 11, the finger is put through both the release holes 36 with fingers. As a result, the entire frame 30 is elastically deformed in a direction in which the width of the notch 32 is reduced, so that the guide pin 35 can be pulled out from the insertion port 16. When the pinching is stopped, the frame 30 is elastically restored to its original shape.

The structure of the guide rail 15 and the guide pin 35 is not particularly limited. For example, the guide rail 15 may have an L-shaped section or a channel shape, the guide pin 35 may have a prismatic shape, or the like. What is necessary is just to be inserted in 15 and supported so that sliding is possible.
Further, the positions of the guide rail 15 and the guide pin 35 are not limited as long as they are on the left and right upper portions of the storage room 11 and on the left and right of the upper end portion of the frame 30, respectively. For example, the guide rails 15 may be provided on the left and right sides of the ceiling of the storage room 11, and the guide pins 35 may be provided so as to protrude upward from the upper end of the frame 30 correspondingly. In this case, it goes without saying that the insertion port 16 is provided at the left and right ends of the upper frame and the middle frame of the box frame 12.
The structure of the insertion port 16 is not particularly limited, but preferably has a function of preventing the guide pin 35 from coming off. The release hole 36 can be omitted as appropriate.

Here, each of the above embodiments is merely an example, and the scope of the invention is not limited thereto.
The scope of the present invention is defined based on the description of the scope of claims, and all modifications can be made to the embodiments within the scope of the contents shown in the scope of claims. It is intended to be included in the invention.

For example, the number of storage rooms 11 of the trash box body 10 is not particularly limited, and may be one or four or more. The parallel direction of the storage rooms is not particularly limited, and the storage rooms may be parallel in the left-right direction, or may be parallel in a lattice shape in the vertical and horizontal directions. Further, the box frame 12 may be omitted, and the lid 20 may be directly attached to the trash box main body 11.
The trash box main body 10 may be formed by connecting boxes each having one storage room 11 in the vertical direction or the like. The shape of the trash box main body 10 is not limited to a substantially rectangular parallelepiped, and may be a substantially cubic body, a substantially cylindrical body, or the like.

In the embodiment, the lock device of the lid 20 is exemplified by the casing 24 and the slider 25. However, the structure of the lock device is not limited to this, and a well-known device can be used.
The type and loading position of the spring 40 are not limited, and the point is that the spring 30 may be biased in the direction away from the lid 20.

The ring 31 and the notch 32 of the frame 30 can be omitted as appropriate. Further, when the cutout portion 32 is provided, it may be provided not on the upper portion of the frame 30 but on the left and right portions.
The mechanism for preventing the frame 30 from coming off from the storage room 11 is not limited to the hooks 13 and 33.
The structure for locking the holder 50 to the frame 30 is not limited to the hook 51. Further, the holder 50 may be pivotally supported by the frame 30 or may be of a type that is detachably attached to the frame 30 as a completely separate body. On the contrary, the holder 50 may be integrated with the frame 30 as a clip.
The fitting structure of the frame 30 and the holder 50 is not limited to the concave portion 34 and the pin 52, and these may be interchanged, for example, a form in which a convex strip and a concave strip are fitted. The recess 34 and the pin 52 can be omitted as appropriate.
