Description

Paper Cup Recovery Container {CONTAINER FOR COLLECTING PAPER CUPS}

The present invention relates to a paper cup recovery container, and in particular, it is disposed near a vending machine, such as coffee and soft drinks, so that the residual liquid flows to the surrounding environment by discarding the remaining liquid in the paper cup without drinking and then recovering the paper cup. It relates to a paper cup collection container which can keep the surrounding environment clean without contaminating or messing the soil.

In general, a trash can is disposed near a beverage vending machine configured to supply a paper cup to an outlet to accommodate a soft drink such as cola or a beverage such as coffee in a paper cup. However, when the paper cups are thrown away in these bins, the paper cups are mixed with other miscellaneous wastes, and thus, it is difficult to recover the paper cups for recycling. In addition, if the beverage is left in the paper cup without drinking all the drinks, the paper cup is thrown into the trash as it is, and the trash can becomes dirty, so that all the wastes thrown away in the trash are soaked with the drink, so it is almost impossible to recover the paper cup for recycling.

In view of these problems, various techniques for separately recovering only a paper cup have been proposed.

As representative of these prior arts, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 94-7672, a paper box inlet is formed on the upper surface, the collection box body with a lid on the front; A paper cup receiving unit detachably built in the center of the main body; Disclosed is a paper cup collection box made of a drip tray housed in a lower end of the main body. In this paper cup collection, however, the remaining paper cups are not emptied of the remaining paper cups, but are fed into the paper cup receiving unit through the paper cup inlet holes. The outside of the field and the inside of the paper cup receiving unit will flow down into the drip tray. Therefore, the paper cup receiving units have to be soiled by the residual liquid flowing down, and the paper cup receiving units must be cleaned frequently. In addition, when the paper cup receiving unit is left unwashed, the remaining liquid flowing down becomes viscous and becomes viscous, so that the paper cups are attached to the paper cup receiving unit, making it difficult to remove the paper cups from the paper cup receiving unit.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 95-31252 discloses a paper cup collecting stand for a vending machine that is fixed by a screw on the side of the vending machine. However, since the paper cup recovery table is open on all sides and there is no means for accommodating the residual liquid, when the paper cup containing the residual liquid is put into the paper cup recovery table, the residual liquid flows around the vending machine and contaminates the vending machine environment. Moreover, since the paper cup recovery table itself is also contaminated, the paper cup collection table must be washed frequently, and the paper cup collection table must be repeatedly removed and fixed from the vending machine.

In addition, the Korean Utility Model No. 96-34030 discloses a paper cup collection device that can collect the paper cups by inserting the paper cup in the iron core, and the Korean Utility Model No. 97-5702 can collect the paper cup by the bulkhead Disclosed is a paper cup collection box for a vending machine partitioned, but these also do not solve the problems of the prior art as described above.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described conventional problems, and is disposed near a beverage vending machine such as coffee and soft drinks, so that the residual liquid flows to the surroundings by discarding the residual liquid remaining in the paper cup without drinking and then recovering the paper cup. It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper cup collection container which can keep the environment clean without contaminating or messing the environment.
