Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical type separate collection trash box for separately collecting trash.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the amount of garbage discharged from homes has continued to increase, and some of them cannot be incinerated and some of which are renewable. Therefore, it is necessary to separate and collect garbage. It is rising. On the other hand, various trash bins suitable for separate collection have been developed and are commercially available. In particular, a stack-type trash can in which a plurality of boxes are stacked is suitable for a kitchen or the like because a container having a relatively large storage capacity can be installed in a limited space.

A pedal-type trash can in which the opening / closing lid is interlocked with a pedal is useful in a kitchen or the like because it does not require the hands and the opening / closing lid to be kept clean when the opening / closing lid is operated.

[0004]

However, in the pedal type trash can, another trash can cannot be stacked above or below the trash can. In addition, if the pedal-type trash can is enlarged or the enlarged internal space is partitioned so that it can be separately collected, the total weight including the pedal and its interlocking mechanism increases, and the usability becomes poor.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a separate collection trash box which has the advantages of both the pedal type trash box and the stack type trash box.

[0006]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the front portion has a dust introduction port,
The first box body equipped with pedals at the bottom and the bottom box fitted on the first box body are stacked, and the lid plate for the dust entrance provided on the top is openably and closably attached. A second box body, a push-up lever that can be moved up and down from the pedal to the lid plate, and a lock handle that connects the first and second box bodies in the vicinity of their mutual joints,
Provided is a separate collection trash can characterized in that the push-up lever is divided into first and second box units, and the divided pieces are attached to each box in a relationship in which the divided pieces are butted against each other. To be done.

[0007]

In the present invention, the push-up lever leading from the pedal mounted on the lower portion of the first box body to the cover plate of the second box body is divided into units of both box bodies, and is divided. Since the boxes are attached to each other in such a relationship that they are butted against each other, it is possible to open and close the lid plate of the second box located on the upper side with the pedals while stacking both boxes. The two boxes can be separated as needed.

Further, since the first and second box bodies are provided with the lock handles which can be connected in the vicinity of their joints, not only can both box bodies be used as one body,
It is possible to eliminate the risk of the second box rising from the first box when the pedal is depressed to open the lid, and the malfunction of the lid plate interlocking mechanism due to this lifting.
