【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is a vertical sectional view showing an embodiment of a trash can according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a trash can body, and the body 1 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape with an upper surface 1a closed, and a pedestal 1b is integrally provided at an opening on the lower surface. A bottomed cylindrical dust container 2 is provided on a pedestal 1b in the main body 1, and a dust bag 3 is arranged on the inner surface of the container 2. A caster 2a is provided at the lower portion of the dust container 2 described above, and can be freely taken in and out by opening an opening / closing door 4 provided in the main body 1. In the figure, 4a is an opening / closing hinge of the opening / closing door 4, 4b is a closing clasp, and 4c is a hook for locking the clasp 4b.

A dust inlet 1c is provided on the upper part of the main body 1, and a plate-like lid 5 for closing the inlet 1c is provided inside the inlet 1c. The upper part of the lid 5 is rotatably attached to the main body 1 by a horizontal shaft 5a. Normally, the lid 5 hangs down by its own weight to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1 to close the dust inlet 1c. The input port 1c is opened by rotating the lid 5 in the direction of the arrow in the figure. A stopper 6 is provided inside the lid 5 to prevent the lid 5 from rotating. The stopper 6 is accommodated in a cylindrical body 7 provided on the upper surface plate 1a of the main body 1 so as to be vertically movable. Normally, the lower end of the stopper 6 is formed through a hole formed in the upper surface plate 1a as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is configured to hang downward due to its own weight so as to prevent the lid body 5 from rotating in the direction of the arrow in the figure.

Further, in the main body 1, a pressing plate 8 for compressing the dust contained in the dust container 2 is mounted on a top plate 1a of the main body 1 via a support rod 9 provided integrally therewith. The support rod 9 is movably provided with positioning stoppers 9a and 9b for restricting the lowered position and the raised position of the pressing plate 8. In the drawing, 8a is a dust throwing guide integrally formed on the pressing plate 8 corresponding to the throwing port 1c, and the guide 8a is a half-bowl shape which is open at the throwing port 1c side and the lower surface side. When the pressing plate 8 is raised, the upper end of the guide 8a abuts on the lower end of the stopper 6 to move the stopper 6 upward.

In the present embodiment, the pressing plate 8 can be moved up and down by a foot-operated pedal 10. The pedal 10 is guided by a slide member 11 provided integrally with the pedal 10. It is configured to be movable up and down along the rail 12, and the slide member 11 and the support rod 6 are connected by a wire 13. In the figure, 14 is a pair of guide rollers for guiding the above wire 13, which is rotatably provided on a support member 15 having a substantially U-shaped plane provided on the upper surface of the main body 1.

In the above configuration, when the dust is put into the main body 1, when the pedal 10 is depressed with the dust storage container 2 and the storage bag 3 accommodated in the main body 1 as shown in FIG. The pressing plate 8 ascends via the, and accordingly, the charging guide 8a also ascends. Then, the upper end of the guide 8a hits the lower end of the stopper 6, and the stopper 6 is pulled up and retracted to the position shown by the chain line in FIG. As a result, the lid 5 can be rotated in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1, and dust can be thrown into the container 2 in the main body 1 from the throwing port 1c through the throwing guide 8a.

Then, when the foot is released from the pedal 10 after the dust is thrown in, the pressing plate 8 moves downward by its own weight, and the dust thrown into the container 2 can be pressed from above and compressed. In the case of the drawing, the lowering range of the pressing plate 8 by the positioning stopper 9a is set to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, and when dust is accumulated above it, it is compressed by the pressing plate 8. It is also possible to configure the pressing plate 8 so that it can move below the solid line position so that it can be compressed even when the amount of dust in the storage container 2 is small.

Further, as the pressing plate 8 descends as described above, the insertion guide 8a also descends, and the stopper 6 hangs by its own weight to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. Is prevented, and dust is not thrown into the upper surface of the pressing plate 4 through the inlet 1c, and crows or the like are prevented from entering the main body 1 through the inlet 1c. Further, by repeating the above-mentioned operation, each time dust is thrown in, the dust is stored while being sequentially compressed by the pressing plate 8, so that a large amount of dust can be stored.

When a large amount of dust is collected in the container 2, the opening / closing door 4 is opened as shown in FIG. 2, and the pedal 10 is depressed to raise the pressing plate 8 to raise the dust container 2 in the main body 1. It can be pulled out, and the waste in the container 2 can be taken out together with the storage bag 3 and discarded. In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, a locking pin 16 or the like that fits into a hole (not shown) formed in the support rod 9 from a hole 15a formed in the lower portion of the support member 15 is provided as needed. Thus, the pressing plate 8 can be held in the raised position even when the foot is released from the pedal 10.

In the above-described embodiment, the container 2 and the storage bag 3 are arranged in the main body 1 and the dust is thrown therein. However, the waste may be thrown directly into the container 2, or It is also possible to dispose only the accommodation bag 3 in the body 1 directly or in the body 1 and to put it in it. Further, in the illustrated example, the foot-operated pedal 10 is used as a means for moving the pressing plate 8 up and down, but the invention is not limited to this. You can also

Further, the configuration of the lid body 5 for opening and closing the dust inlet 1c, the configuration of the stopper for preventing the rotation of the lid body 5 and the like can be changed as appropriate, and the configuration for releasing the stopper can be appropriately changed. be able to. For example, in the illustrated example, when the pressing plate 8 rises, the stopper 6 is released by the closing guide 8a provided on the pressing plate 8 in association with the upward movement of the pressing plate 8 to allow the lid 5 to rotate in the opening direction. However, the stopper may be released via an interlocking mechanism such as a wire or a lever. Further, without using the stopper 6 as described above, when the pressing plate 8 rises, the lid automatically opens in conjunction with it, and when the pressing plate 8 descends, the lid interlocks with it. It can also be configured to close automatically.
