Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a novel basket. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel wire mesh cage.

[Prior Art] In parks, stations, airports, tourist spots, etc., baskets are placed to store empty cans, empty bottles, garbage, etc. that are dumped by an unspecified number of people. It is important that these baskets always have an aesthetic appearance. Furthermore, these baskets are increasingly required to have larger capacities and to be able to withstand heavier dumped items. However, with conventional baskets, the strength
Corrosion resistance, weather resistance, etc. were not always satisfactory.

Now, most of these baskets have grooves made of wire mesh on the sides and bottom, and have rubber or plastic rings attached to the top and bottom.

The reason why wire mesh was used as the main component is that it does not collect rainwater even when placed outdoors, has good visibility from dumpers and garbage collectors, and is lightweight and inexpensive. First, the sides and bottom of this type of basket are made of wire mesh. At this time, the lower end of the side periphery should protrude several centimeters to more than ten centimeters as a foot part. Next, a preformed rubber ring or plastic ring is fixed to the foot using bolts and nuts. The rubber or plastic ring attached to the top is similarly attached with bolts and nuts.

Note that these rubber rings or plastic rings are formed into a U-shape so that the upper part or the foot part can be inserted and fixed therein, and bolt holes are provided so as to pass through the U-shaped grooves.

In such conventional baskets, the mounting strength of the basket body and the legs, which are made of rubber rings or plastic rings fixed with bolts and nuts, is weak, and when used as a heavy garbage dumping container or a large garbage dumping container, there is a risk of damage or deformation. This is a problem that tends to occur and spoils the aesthetic appearance. At this time, in order to increase the mounting strength, it may be possible to increase the number of fixing points using bolts and nuts, but in this case, the manufacturing cost increases and the appearance is also unsightly. Furthermore, in this method of fixing with bolts and nuts, rainwater and waste liquid from dumped garbage permeate into the fixing part, causing corrosion. Such corrosion significantly impairs the aesthetic appearance.

For this reason, it has not been possible to obtain a basket that is strong over a long period of time and has an aesthetic appearance.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made based on this point, and its purpose is to eliminate the drawbacks of the prior art described above,
To provide a basket that has high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and aesthetics, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is that the side periphery and the bottom are made of wire mesh, and the lower end of the side periphery is provided with a foot that projects slightly below the bottom. In the cage, the foot portion is provided with a lower buffer ring made of a reactive polymer material, and the upper portion is provided with an upper buffer ring made of a polymer material. Featured in the basket.

In the present invention, the shape of the basket is not limited;
For example, it may be cylindrical, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc. Therefore, the upper buffer ring and the lower buffer ring are not only cylindrical, but also have a cylindrical shape.
It may be a polygon such as a corner, pentagon, or hexagon. The wire mesh may be made of any material that exhibits excellent strength, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, and aesthetics, such as chrome-plated steel wire, nickel-plated steel wire, hard aluminum alloy wire, aluminum-coated wire, and corrosion-resistant and weather-resistant plastic coatings. Steel wire, chrome wire, nickel wire, etc. can be used.

In the present invention, the reactive polymer material may be any material having high strength, weather resistance, and excellent moldability, such as liquid rubber and liquid resin.

Examples of liquid rubber include liquid polyurethane rubber, liquid silicone rubber, and liquid polysulfide rubber. Examples of the liquid resin include unsaturated polyester resin, glass fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester resin, liquid epoxy resin, and liquid polyurethane resin. Of course, fillers, colorants, curing agents, etc. may be added to these materials as necessary. Further, a buffer ring may be a composite layer made by combining two or more of these types. This makes it possible to produce products that meet various requirements for wear resistance and weather resistance.

Casting is preferred as a molding method for these, but molding and extrusion methods may also be used. Further, as a curing condition, an air temperature effect is preferable, but high temperature curing may also be used.

[Function] The effect of the basket of the present invention is that, in a basket having a side periphery and a bottom made of wire mesh, and a foot portion provided below the side periphery, the foot portion is integrally molded with a reactive polymeric material. By providing the upper buffer ring above the lower buffer ring, the wire mesh can be firmly adhered to the reactive polymer material through the mesh, and the molded reactive polymer material can be used as it is for cosmetic purposes. It becomes a buffer ring.

That is, with conventional baskets, it was difficult to increase the strength and corrosion resistance of the legs even if the strength of the side periphery and bottom was increased, but in the present invention, the legs are integrally molded with the lower ring, making them stronger. Can be glued. Moreover, this integral molding can also effectively reduce manufacturing costs. In other words, since conventional baskets did not require much strength, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, cosmetics, etc., measures were taken to improve the adhesion strength between the foot ring and the bottom, and between the top ring and the side circumference. However, in the present invention, when manufacturing a basket that requires greater strength, corrosion resistance, weather resistance, beauty, etc. than conventional baskets, we have obtained an integrally molded basket that was previously unimaginable. .

[Example] Next, one embodiment of the cage of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the basket of the present invention;
The figure is a sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a front view thereof. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 indicates a wire mesh side periphery, 2 a wire mesh bottom, and 3 a foot portion at the tip of the wire mesh side periphery. 20
21 is a lower buffer ring that characterizes the present invention, and 21 is an upper buffer ring. As is clear from Fig. 2, the foot 3
The is firmly bonded with an integrally molded lower buffer ring, which prevents rainwater or residual liquid from empty cans from entering the bonded portion. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the basket of the present invention has excellent cosmetic properties and is suitable for public facilities. The lower buffer ring 20 and the upper buffer ring 21 used in this embodiment are made of liquid polyester-based polyurethane rubber having excellent wear resistance and weather resistance, and are manufactured by room temperature casting.

[Effects of the Invention] The basket of the present invention has excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance, and therefore has excellent durability and aesthetic properties, and is industrially useful.
