Description

Disposable Cup Collector {VESSEL FOR RECOVERING DISPASABLE CUP}

The present invention relates to a collector of a disposable cup, and more particularly to a collector that can easily remove the collected disposable cup from the collector.

Recently, the use of disposable containers such as coffee and ramen has increased rapidly. Such disposable containers are generally made of paper for cost reduction. In particular, disposable cups are mostly used in vending machines and are discarded after ingesting coffee or beverages.

Disposable cups are made of paper and are fully recyclable. In addition, disposable cups, even once used, are being reused for other purposes.

Thus, a number of collectors for collecting such disposable cups separately have been proposed to date. Domestic Utility Publications No. 1993-006006 (September 17, 1993), 1994-4000022 (January 5, 1994) and 2000-0003590 (February 25, 2000).

FIG. 1 schematically shows a disposable cup collecting box disclosed in Korean Utility Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-0003590.

The conventional disposable cup collecting box has an inlet 10 having an induction part 11 thereon, a support 20 positioned on the bottom surface in a symmetrical shape with the inlet 10, and the inlet 10 and the support stand. It includes a plurality of connecting rods 30 for connecting the (20).

The inlet 10 forms a hopper-shaped inclined surface to prevent the user from injecting the cup incorrectly during collection of the disposable cup. Support 20 is installed in the lower portion of the collection box to be symmetrical with the inlet, the center portion is blocked, unlike the inlet to prevent the collected cup from falling out to the bottom.

The conventional disposable cup collector described above is configured to effectively collect the disposable cup, but has a very difficult problem when discharging the collected cup from the collector.

That is, in order to take out the collected cups from the collector, the collector must be held with both hands and turned upside down with the inlet facing down and the support facing up. This work is not only cumbersome, but also more difficult to discharge when the collector is attached to another object.

In addition, in the case where the cup with the contents remaining is placed in a conventional disposable cup collector, the contents flow out of the collector and the surroundings of the collector become dirty.

In addition, when the container is flipped over and the cup is taken out, the contents of the cup may get on the operator's body.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem, and in particular, to provide a disposable cup collector configured to easily take out the collected cup.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable cup collector which can easily take out the cup stored therein even when the collector is immovably attached.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a disposable cup collector which can recover the cup contents separately.

In order to achieve the above and other objects of the present invention, according to one aspect of the present invention, a disposable cup collector for collecting the disposable cup separately, the inlet; A support disposed at a position facing the inlet; A plurality of first connecting rods connecting the inlet and the support; A plurality of second connecting rods arranged in parallel with the connecting rod but not connected to the inlet and the support unlike the connecting rod; A disposable cup collector is provided that includes a stationary and pivot member attached to the first and second connecting rods.

The first connecting rod is fixed to the fixing member, the second connecting rod is fixed to the pivot member, and the pivot member is pivotally connected to the fixing member by a pin.

Preferably, a magnet is attached to the end of the fixing member so that the free end of the pivot member can be detachably fixed to the fixing member.

Further, it is preferable that a hopper is inserted above the inlet and a fluid recovery container is disposed on the support.

Referring to Figure 2, it will be described in more detail the disposable cup collector according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Disposable cup collector according to the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 2, the conventional disposable cup collector is disposed in a position facing the inlet 110, the inlet 110 on the top And a plurality of first connecting rods 132 connecting the inlet 110 and the support 120.

In addition, although the disposable cup collector according to the first embodiment of the present invention is disposed in parallel with the connecting rod 132, unlike the connecting rod 132, a plurality of cups are not connected to the inlet 110 and the support 120. The second connecting rod 134 is included.

The first and second connecting rods 132 and 134 are fixed to the fixed and pivot members 140 and 142 and 150 and 152. In more detail, the first connecting rod 132 is fixed to the fixing members 140 and 150, and the second connecting rod 134 is connected to the pivot members 142 and 152. The pivot members 142 and 152 are pivotally connected to the fixing members 140 and 150 by pins 146 and 156.

Magnets 144 and 154 are attached to the ends of the fixing members so that the free ends of the pivot members 142 and 152 can be detachably fixed to the fixing members 140 and 150. As a variant, the fixing member may be provided with a socket, and a hook may be provided at the free end of the pivot member.

According to this embodiment, since part of the collector can be opened as shown in FIG. 4, it is very convenient to discharge the disposable cup from the collector.

3 and 4, the disposable cup collector according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

The disposable cup collector according to the second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 except that the billboard 160 is attached to the pivot members 142 and 152 of the collector. . Therefore, the description of the same member will be omitted.

According to the present embodiment, the hopper 112 may be inserted above the inlet 110, and the fluid recovery container 122 may be disposed on the support 120. This hopper and fluid recovery container can of course also be applied to the first embodiment shown in FIG. The fluid recovery container can be easily installed and removed from the collector by opening the pivot member.

In addition, the disposable cup collector according to the present invention may be used by fixing the support to the base after being disposed side by side on the base (not shown). In addition, it is also possible to fix the disposable cup collector according to the present invention to the vending machine using a fixing plate (not shown).

The billboard 160 preferably has a flat surface so that printed matter can be attached to the front or the advertisement design can be printed directly. Alternatively, as a variant, although not shown in the drawings, the billboard is double so that a thin printed matter, such as a movie poster, may be fitted, and the front surface may be made of a transparent material. As another variant, a display, such as an electronic billboard, may be attached to the billboard.

According to the above structure, since the disposable cup collector has a structure capable of opening and closing a part, the collected cup can be easily discharged from the cup collector.

In addition, the contents of the disposable cup do not spill out because the fluid recovery container can be placed below the collector.
