Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to empty bottles, empty cans, magazines,
The present invention relates to a waste container used for throwing in waste such as newspapers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional garbage container, for example, FIGS.
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 separately collecting empty cans and bottles. These conventional garbage containers a, b, c
Has a hole for the thickness of the upper part of the garbage container that is thick enough to form a dust inlet, and the newspaper, magazines, empty cans, empty bottles, and other dust that is thrown in through this inlet can be stored in the garbage container. Have been collected.

[0003]

However, in the conventional waste container as described above, since the thickness of the waste container is formed as an opening for the dust input port, the input port is narrow and the inlet portion of the input port is small. I couldn't afford it. Therefore, there has been a problem that the dust cannot be thrown into the dust container unless it is accurately thrown into the dust input port.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, of course, not only the dust container having the dust inlet d formed on the upper inclined surface,
Even if the dust container has the dust input port d formed on the front vertical surface as shown in FIG. 10, rainwater is collected from the dust input port by opening the dust input port by the thickness of the dust container. There was a problem that it easily entered the container. The present invention has been developed in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to easily put dust into the container, and to prevent rainwater from entering from the inlet as much as possible. To provide.

[0005]

In order to effectively achieve the above object, the present invention has the following structure. That is, in the waste container having the dust inlet on the upper inclined surface or the vertical surface, the dust inlet is formed so that the opening area is gradually reduced from the outer end portion to the inner end portion.

The cross-sectional shape of the dust inlet may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, square, or other various shapes. Further, the dust inlet may be formed on the lid, on the front wall of the dust container body, or on any other portion.

[0007]

As described above, since the dust input port is formed, for example, in a funnel shape so that the opening area gradually decreases from the outer end portion to the inner end portion, the opening of the inner end portion which is the actual dust input port is formed. Even if the area is small, the opening area at the outer end of the dust input port is larger than that at the inner end, so even if you do not aim the inner end of the dust input port exactly Since it is received by the inner peripheral surface from the outer end portion to the inner end portion of the throw-in port and is guided to the inner end portion of the dust throw-in port, the dust can be reliably thrown into the dust container.

Furthermore, since the inner end of the dust input port, which is the actual input port, is located to some extent from the outer end of the input port, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the dust container. In addition, rainwater that hits the inner peripheral surface from the outer end to the inner end through the dust input port also flows outside through the inner peripheral surface and does not enter the dust container.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a trash container according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is a trash container for separating empty cans and empty bottles. The garbage container 1 includes a garbage container body 2 and a lid 3.
The lid 3 is openably and closably provided at the upper opening of the waste container body 2. The front surface 3a of the lid 3 is inclined as shown in the drawing, and two dust inlets 4 are formed in the inclined front surface 3a.

Each of the dust inlets 4 is formed in a funnel shape in which the opening area is gradually reduced from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b. The depth from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b of the dust inlet 4 is preferably 15 mm or more. In this way, since the entrance portion (dust receiving portion) of the dust input port 4 is wide and becomes narrower toward the inner end portion 4b which is the actual dust input port, the inner end portion 4b of the dust input port 4 is formed.
Even if the dust is not thrown in properly, if the dust is properly thrown into the dust throwing port 4, the dust can be fed into the dust throwing port 4 through the wide entrance (the outer end 4a of the dust throwing port 4). Since it is guided up to, it can be reliably put into the garbage container.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, since the inner end portion 4b of the dust input port 4 which is the actual input port is 15 mm or more from the outer end portion 4a of the dust input port 4, the rainwater into the waste container can be filled. Intrusion can be prevented. Rainwater that hits the inner peripheral surface 4c from the outer end 4a to the inner end 4b of the dust input port 4 is also formed in the inclined front surface portion 3a of the lid 3, so that It is possible to prevent the dust from flowing out through the inner peripheral surface 4c and entering the dust container.

FIG. 3 shows a dust input port 4 which is an essential part of the present invention.
In this embodiment, an opening / closing lid 5 is provided which constantly acts to close the inner end 4b of the dust input port 4 by elastically urging a spring (not shown). The operation effect of the dust input port 4 is the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted. FIG. 4 shows a waste container 1 according to another embodiment. This waste container 1 is a waste container of a type in which a flap 6 and an empty can are separated, and the construction of the waste inlet 4 is different from that of the embodiment shown in FIG. It is the same.

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

[0014]

As described above, in the dust container of the present invention, the dust input port is formed so that the opening area is gradually reduced from the outer end portion to the inner end portion. Even if the dust is not thrown in exactly at a certain inner end portion, the thrown-in dust can be received at the wide entrance which is the outer end portion of the dust throwing port, and can be surely thrown in the dust container.

Further, since there is a certain distance from the outer end of the input port to the inner end of the waste input port which is the actual input port, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the waste container.
It is possible to prevent rainwater that hits the inner peripheral surface from the outer end portion to the inner end portion of the dust input port to flow outside through the inner peripheral surface and enter the dust container.
