Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the cup-accommodating capacity and reduce the frequency of cup-collecting work for a disposal-cup recovery box by forming a cup-holding part in such a manner that a plurality of cup-holding levers hang down at an equal interval around the lower, peripheral part beneath a cup-throw- away-hole. CONSTITUTION:At the lower part of a cup-throw-away hole 11, at least three holding-levers 3 are hung vertically in order to form a cup-holding part 13. In this constitution, when a disposal-cup C is thrown with the bottom down into the box from the throw-away hole 11, the cup C is guided along the cup- holding lever 3 and held in the holding part 13 in a standing posture. Accordingly, all the cups C, which are thrown into the box in turn, are piled up overlapping each other and accommodated in an aligned and standing manner. With this contrivance, the cup-accommodating capacity can be increased, and the frequency of cup-collecting work can be reduced.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present application, by inserting the cups through the insertion hole, the cups are automatically stacked in the cup holder due to their own weight, and can be recovered in the stacked state. The collection process from the container itself is extremely simple, and
When separated from the bottom of the container body by a distance smaller than the height of the cup, it is possible to avoid contamination of the lower end of the holding rod, and also to prevent the collection bag from being clamped on the inside surface of the upper part of the container body. When a stopper is provided, it is convenient for attaching and removing the garbage bag for collection.Furthermore, when the outer periphery of the holding rods forming the cup holding part is fixed with a connecting piece, the lower part of the holding rod It is possible to prevent horizontal vibration of the cup holder, and in particular, when the cup holder is constructed of a holding member in which at least one of the holding rods forming each adjacent cup holder is bent upward in a U-shape, the cup holder is connected to each other. This has advantages such as being able to more reliably prevent horizontal vibration of the holding rod.
