Description

DEVICE FOR PRESSING HOUSEHOLD AND GARDEN WASTE IN HOUSEHOLD WASTE CONTAINERS

General description 5 Applicants have invented a device for compressing household and garden waste in household waste containers by means of manpower. By using this device it is possible to bring more waste into a container at a time.

The pressing method of the present invention is characterized by: - a "main shaft", which also serves as a handle for the user, with a shaped bracket at the end through which a partially movable shaft is placed; - a partly movable axis, hereinafter referred to as "transverse axis", placed transversely to the end of the "principal axis", "principal axis" and "transverse axis" together hereinafter referred to as "press"; - a movable bracket with 'shoe', hereinafter referred to as 'pressure bracket', which can be fixed on the 'main axis' with a screw; - a bracket which can be attached to a solid substrate, for example a wall or pole 20, in which the 'press' is placed for use, hereinafter referred to as 'wall bracket'.

An advantage is that the waste container is used to the maximum, the waste container can hereby be offered less often.

Further advantages, features and details of the present device are explained on the basis of the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof, with reference to the accompanying technical drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of a device according to the present invention.

Figure 2 shows a detailed view of the device shown in Figure 1, wherein the 'press' is placed in the 'wall bracket' and in which a horizontal movement of the 'main axis' on the 'transverse axis' is shown.

Figure 3 shows a detailed view of the device shown in figures 1 and 2, wherein the 'wall bracket' is attached to a fixed substrate and wherein a pivot point is shown of the 'transverse axis' with respect to the 'wall bracket'. This 'transverse axis' with a attached nipple at the end is placed through a hole in the 'wall bracket'.

Figure 4 is a detailed view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 with the 'wall bracket' attached to a fixed substrate and 102; 2 with the 'press' positioned at its final position via a 'hockey stick' shaped recess, it is located on the other side of the 'wall bracket' to bring the nipple from the other side of the 'transverse axis' to its pivot point in the 'wall bracket'. The 'hockey stick' 5-shaped recess is secured with a closing, tilting mechanism, placed on the 'wall bracket', to hold both nipples at their pivot point in the wall bracket.

Figure 5 is a detailed view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 with the 'wall bracket' and 'press' attached and with the closing, tilting mechanism shown in its closed position around the two nipples on its position in the wall bracket.

Figure 6 shows a detailed view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, in which the 'wall bracket' and 'press' is mounted and the closing, tilting mechanism is shown from the top in its closed position in order to hold both nipples in place in the wall bracket.

Figure 7 is a detailed view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, in which a movable and fixed 'pressure bracket' is located on the 'main axis' and in which a movement both forwards and towards is displayed at the back of the 'main axis'.

Figure 8 shows a top view of the device shown in figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on which it can be seen that the 'main axis', with the 'pressure bracket' mounted thereon, can be moved a certain number of degrees relative to the 'transverse axis'.

Figure 9 is a side view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, wherein the 'press' with 'pressure bracket' makes a downward movement to accommodate the household and garden waste in household waste containers to press.

Figure 10 is a side view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, wherein the 'press' with 'pressure bracket' has pressed the house and garden waste 30 in its household waste containers at its position .

Figure 11 is a side view of the device shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, wherein the 'pressure bracket' is extended rearwards to also serve as a handle.

A device Figs. 1 to 11 according to the present invention comprises in Fig. 1: - a 'main shaft' which also serves as a handle for the user, with at the end a shaped bracket (B) through which a partially movable shaft ( §) is placed; - a partly movable shaft (D), hereinafter referred to as "transverse axis" 3 placed transversely to the end of the "principal axis" ®, "principal axis" ® and "transverse axis" ® together hereinafter referred to as " press'; - a movable bracket ®® with 'shoe' ©, hereinafter referred to as 'pressure bracket', which can be fixed on the 'main axis' ® with a screw ®; - a bracket © which can be attached to a solid substrate, for example a wall or post, in which the 'press' is placed for use, hereinafter referred to as 'wall bracket' ©.

Figure 2 shows a view of a preferred embodiment of the 'wall bracket' © with the 'press' placed therein, which is arranged with the nipples D1 and D2 placed at the ends of the transverse axis ® in the recesses C1 and present in the 'wall bracket' © C4, see also in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6. The catch C5 ensures that the 'press' does not unintentionally shoot out of the 'wall bracket' © 15, see also in figures 4, 5 and 6. The 'wall bracket' © can be attached via recesses C2 and C3 to a solid vertical substrate such as a wall or fence. Figure 2 also shows that the 'main axis' ® of the press is placed with a bracket ® on the 'transverse axis' ® so that the 'main axis' ® is slightly movable relative to the 'transverse axis' -as' ®, see also in Figure 8.

Figure 3 shows a side view of the 'wall bracket' © attached to a fixed substrate © with the 'press' placed therein by means of nipple D1 in recess C1.

Figure 4 shows a side view of the other side of the 'wall bracket' © attached to a solid substrate ®, the 'press' is placed by means of nipple D2 in the 'hockey stick' shaped recess C4. The catch C5 mounted on the 'wall bracket' ©, which is intended to prevent the 'press' from accidentally coming out of the 'wall bracket' ©, is shown here in its open position. The pawl C5 rotates via an axis C6 to an open or closed position. A nipple C7 ensures that the pawl C5 cannot rotate completely about its axis and remains in the desired position.

Figure 5 shows the same side view as Figure 4 but with the catch C5 closed. The nipple C7 also ensures that the catch C5 remains in the desired position.

Figure 6 shows a top view of the 'wall bracket' © placed on a fixed substrate © 35 with the 'press' placed therein. The nipple D2 of 'transverse axis'® placed at the end of the' wall bracket '© is placed in the recess C4 provided in the' wall bracket '©. The catch C5 is in its closed position.
