Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an unnecessary document collection box for collecting unnecessary documents without cutting them with a shredder and making them available as recycled paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Computers, word processors,
The volume of documents generated by fax, copy, etc. is enormous. When these documents are no longer needed, documents that contain any confidential information are cut off with a shredder and disposed of.

[0003]

However, if unnecessary documents are cut with a shredder, the paper fibers become too short and cannot be used as a raw material for high-quality recycled paper. Increasing the rate of paper recycling is an important issue that reduces the use of wood and protects the natural environment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to collect unnecessary documents generated in large quantities in a company or the like without using a shredder and without fear of leaking confidential information so that the documents can be used as a raw material for recycled paper. To provide a document collection box.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, an unnecessary document collection box according to the present invention comprises a box and a bag suspended inside the box with its upper part opened. There is a document entry slot, the front is a locked door, the bottom plate is doubled, the space between the double bottom plates is a spare bag storage part, for hanging the bag on the upper inside The bag is made of a durable cloth or sheet, and a high-strength string-like body for squeezing the opening is attached to the edge of the opening,
And a lock for holding the high-strength string-like body in that state when the opening is squeezed with the high-strength string-like body (claim 1).

[0006] This unnecessary document collection box stores unnecessary documents input from the input port on the upper surface of the box in a bag, and when the bag is almost full, opens the door and pulls out the bag from the box. The next bag is suspended and unnecessary documents are stored again. The method of collection is the same as that of a trash can at a station or the like, but the present invention targets a large amount of unnecessary documents generated by a company or the like.
It is intended to collect 0 kg of unnecessary documents. Use a durable cloth or sheet for the bag material only for 30 bags.
This is to prevent the bag from being broken even if the unnecessary documents of ６０60 kg are packed and transported.

When discarding unnecessary documents without cutting them, it is important to prevent collected documents from being extracted in order to prevent confidential leakage. Since the collection box of the present invention is configured such that the door is locked, there is no possibility that the documents in the collection box will be extracted. Also, when the bag in the box is almost full of unnecessary documents, open the door and pull out the full bag, squeeze the opening of the bag with a high-strength cord,
It locks in that state. In this case, since the mouth of the bag cannot be opened, there is no possibility that the document is removed during the process of transporting the bag containing the unnecessary document. If bags containing unnecessary documents are directly carried into a paper mill or a waste paper compression plant, where they are unlocked and immediately used as raw material for recycled paper, there is almost no chance that the documents will be extracted.

Therefore, by using the collection box of the present invention, it becomes possible to collect unnecessary documents without cutting them. In addition, the collection box of the present invention has a double bottom plate, so that extra bags can be stored between the double bottoms, so whenever the bags suspended in the box are full, any time. Can be replaced with an empty bag. It is preferable to use a metal chain as the high-strength cord, but it is also possible to use a flexible metal wire, a rope, or the like.

In the collection box of the present invention, the upper bottom plate of the double bottom plate of the box is formed so that the middle portion in the left-right direction is flat and both sides are bent obliquely downward (trapezoid). Is preferable (claim 2). In this way, when the bag is full of unnecessary documents, it is difficult for both sides near the bottom of the bag to be pressed against both side walls of the box, and when the full bag is pulled out of the box, the upper bottom plate is pulled out in the drawing direction. , It is relatively easy to pull out a full and heavy bag.
To make it easier to pull out the bag containing the documents from the box, the upper bottom plate (the bottom plate on which the bag is placed) of the double bottom plate may be pulled out.

[0010] Further, in the collection box of the present invention, a holding plate for preventing the bag from bulging to the front side due to the insertion of documents is provided openably and closably or detachably below the inside of the door of the box. Is preferable (claim 3). In this way, the bag can be prevented from swelling to the front side and pushing the door by inputting documents, so that the door is not overly pressed,
The door can be opened and closed smoothly for a long time.

In the collection box of the present invention, the hook attached to the upper portion of the inner surface of the box can be switched between a state in which the tip is directed upward and a state in which the tip is directed downward, and at least the tip is directed upward. It is preferable to be able to maintain the state in which it is located (claim 4). When the bag is full of papers, a load is applied to the hooked portion of the bag, making it difficult to remove from the hook. If the hook is configured as described above, when the bag is full, it is possible to easily remove the hook hooked part of the bag from the hook by switching the hook so that the tip faces downward. Become.

The bag in the collection box of the present invention has a hanging string to be hooked on the hook, and the lower end of the hanging string is fixed to the inside of the bag slightly below the edge of the opening of the bag. It is preferable that the upper end portion of the bag can be folded outward in a state where the hanging string is hooked on the hook (claim 5).

Since the document slot needs to be sized so that it cannot be accessed by humans, there is a risk that thick documents cannot be inserted. If the bag is configured as described above, the upper end can be folded outward while the bag is suspended in the box, and the distance between the folded portion of the bag and the top plate of the box can be increased. Therefore, a thick document or a large amount of documents that cannot enter the slot can be thrown from between the folded edge of the bag and the top plate of the box by opening the door.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In the figure, 1 is a box and 3 is a bag. The bag 3 is hung in the box 1 with its upper part opened as shown in FIGS.

The box 1 is made of a steel plate. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the upper plate 5 is provided with a document slot 7 and the front surface is a door 9 which can be opened and closed. The door 9 can be locked in a closed state as shown in FIGS. The bottom plate of the box 1 is doubled as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, and a storage section 13 for storing the spare bag 3 is provided between the double bottom plates 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> B. Also, the upper bottom plate 11 of the double bottom plate
In A, the middle part in the left-right direction is flat, and both sides are bent obliquely downward (trapezoidal when viewed from the front).

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, two hooks 17 for hanging the bag 3 (four in total) are attached to the upper portions of the inner surfaces of both side walls 15 of the box 1. The attachment structure of the hook 17 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. That is, the horizontal portion of the hook 17 is rotatably supported by the cylinder 19, and the cylinder 19 is fixed to the side wall 15 via the bracket 21 and the fixing piece 23. V-grooves 25 are formed vertically on the distal end surface of the tubular body 19, and a locking pin 27 that falls into the V-groove 25 is fixed to the horizontal portion of the hook 17 in the vertical direction. A flat washer 29 and a split pin 31 are provided at the end of the horizontal portion of the hook 17.
A coil spring 33 is assembled between the flat washer 29 and the cylindrical body 19 in a compressed state.

Therefore, when the tip of the hook 17 faces upward, the resilient force of the coil spring 33 causes the locking pin 27 to move upward.
Drop into the V-groove 25, and the hook 17 can maintain that state. When a certain amount of rotational force is applied to the hook 17, the locking pin 27 escapes from the V-groove 25 and becomes rotatable. When the tip comes to a position facing downward (dashed line), the locking pin 27 is again rotated to the V-groove. 25, and the state can be maintained. That is, the hook 17 can be switched between a state in which the tip is directed upward and a state in which the tip is directed downward, and can maintain the two states.

In addition, below the inside of the door 9 of the box 1, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the holding plate 35 is attached so that it can be opened and closed in the same direction as the door 9. This holding plate 35
Is closed as shown in FIG. 2 to prevent the bag 3 from bulging to the front side when a document is input. Pressing plate 35
May be a detachable type, instead of an openable type such as a door.

On the other hand, the bag 3 is made of a durable cloth such as a duck, and an eyelet 37 is attached to the edge of the opening at an appropriate interval as shown in FIG. 3
9 is inserted around the edge of the opening. Chain 3
Reference numeral 9 is made of metal and has such a strength that it cannot be easily cut. A lock 41 is attached to the chain 39 using a hole of a loop element constituting the chain 39. The chain 39 is for squeezing the upper end opening of the bag 3 as shown in FIG. 8, and the lock 41 is for squeezing the opening of the bag 3.
Lock 9 in that state (do not open it)
It is for.

The bag 3 has a hanging string 43 for hooking on the hook 17. Hanging string 4
Eyelet 4 large enough to insert hook 17 at the upper end of 3
5 is attached. The lower end of the hanging string 43 is attached to the inside of the bag 3 slightly below the upper edge of the bag 3 as shown in FIG. Thus, the upper end of the bag 3 can be turned outward while the hanging string 43 is hooked on the hook 17.

Next, a method of using the unnecessary document collection box will be described. When collecting unnecessary documents, the bag 3 is first suspended in the box 1 as shown in FIG.
Close as The holding plate 35 does not open in this state. The spare bag 3 is folded and stored in the storage unit 13. Next, close the door 9 and lock it. The key is owned by the person in charge of the unnecessary document collection box. In this state, unnecessary documents are input from the input port 7. Documents having a thickness that does not fit in the insertion slot 7 are first opened by opening the key 9 and the door 9 is opened as shown in FIG. Since the upper end of the bag 3 is folded back and there is a large gap between the bag 3 and the top plate 5, a considerably thick document can be put in. When the loading is completed, the door 9 is closed and locked.

When the document is almost full, the door 9 and the holding plate 35 are opened as shown in FIG. At this time, the hanging string 43 is sometimes pulled down by the weight of the document and is difficult to remove from the hook 17.
(A) If the tip is switched downward as indicated by the alternate long and short dash line, it can be easily removed.

Next, the bag 3 containing the documents is pulled out toward the user.
The bag 3 containing the documents weighs 30 to 50 kg, so it is not easy to draw it out. However, since the upper bottom plate 11A is formed in a trapezoidal shape, both sides near the bottom of the bag 3 are formed on both side walls 15 of the box. The bag 3 is less likely to be pressed (the frictional force with the side walls 15 is smaller) and the bottom plate 11A serves as a guide in the pulling-out direction of the bag 3, so that the bag 3 can be pulled out relatively easily. After pulling out the bag 3 containing the documents, the spare bag 3 is taken out and suspended in the box 1.

The bag 3 containing the documents pulled out of the box 1 is not folded back at the upper end, the opening is squeezed with the chain 39 as shown in FIG. Thus, the mouth of the bag 3 cannot be opened. In this state, the bag 3 containing the documents is transported to a paper mill or a waste paper compression factory.
Then, the lock 41 is released, and the inside document is taken out and used as a raw material for recycled paper. The bag 3 after taking out the documents is brought back and reused.

[0025]

As described above, the unnecessary document collection box of the present invention is designed so that an outsider cannot extract the collected unnecessary documents, so that even confidential documents can be collected without cutting. It can be effectively used as a high quality recycled paper raw material. Therefore, the paper recycling rate can be improved, which can greatly contribute to the protection of the natural environment.
