Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en sperreanordning for et lokk på en avfallsdunk. The present invention relates to a locking device for a lid on a waste bin.

De fleste avfallsdunker har lokk som er hengslet og kan svinges fritt opp til 270°. Mindre dunker er høye og smale og derfor forholdsvis ustabile. Dette medfører et kjent problem, nemlig at dunkene velter i vind og avfallet strøs omkring og blir samlingsplass for insekter og åtselfugler. Dette problemet er både forurensende og uestetisk. En praktisk løsning for å hindre dette har vært å legge en stein eller annet tungt på lokket. Dette medfører at de som skal legge noe ned i dunkene først må løfte av steinen for å kunne åpne lokket, og ikke alltid blir steinene lagt tilbake på lokket. Most waste bins have lids that are hinged and can be swung freely up to 270°. Smaller cans are tall and narrow and therefore relatively unstable. This leads to a well-known problem, namely that the cans topple over in the wind and the waste is scattered around and becomes a gathering place for insects and scavengers. This problem is both polluting and unsightly. A practical solution to prevent this has been to place a stone or something heavy on the lid. This means that those who are going to put something in the cans must first lift off the stone to be able to open the lid, and the stones are not always put back on the lid.

Med økende bruk av kildesortering og dermed antall dunker, øker naturlig nok problemet. With increasing use of source sorting and thus the number of cans, the problem naturally increases.

Det foreligger således behov for en mekanisme som sørger for at lokket ikke blåser opp i vind, men som på en annen side sikrer at lokket enkelt kan åpnes av bru-kerne. En slik mekanisme må også sikre at renholdsverkets behov fullt ut tilfredsstil-les, bl.a. ved lokket selv åpnes når avfallsdunkene tippes rundt for å tømmes i reno-vasjonsbilene. There is thus a need for a mechanism which ensures that the lid does not blow up in the wind, but which, on the other hand, ensures that the lid can be easily opened by the users. Such a mechanism must also ensure that the sanitation authority's needs are fully met, i.a. at the lid itself is opened when the waste bins are tipped over to be emptied into the renovation trucks.

Dette oppnås med sperreanordningen ifølge foreliggende oppfinnelse slik den er definert med de i kravene anførte trekk. This is achieved with the locking arrangement according to the present invention as defined by the features listed in the claims.

På tegningen viser figur 1 et sideriss av baksiden av en utførelse av sperreanordningen ifølge oppfinnelsen, figur 2 viser et sideriss av utførelsen på figur 1, figur 3 viser et frontriss av sperreanordningen, figur 4 viser er grunnriss av anordningen, figur 5 viser en del av en avfallsdunk med anordningen påmontert og lokket lukket, figur 6 viser skjematisk hvorledes sperreanordningen hindrer at vinden åpner lokket, figur 7 viser at lokket i åpen stilling ligger an mot sperreanordningen og figur 8 viser 'øvre del av en avfallsdunk med lokket lukket. In the drawing, figure 1 shows a side view of the back of an embodiment of the locking device according to the invention, figure 2 shows a side view of the embodiment in figure 1, figure 3 shows a front view of the locking device, figure 4 shows a floor plan of the device, figure 5 shows part of a waste can with the device fitted and the lid closed, figure 6 shows schematically how the locking device prevents the wind from opening the lid, figure 7 shows that the lid in the open position rests against the locking device and figure 8 shows the upper part of a waste can with the lid closed.

Sperreanordningen 6 ifølge oppfinnelsen omfatter en mothake 1 på et steg 2 som igjen er forbundet med en festedel 3 for feste av anordningen til avfallsdunken, fortrinnsvis til avfallsdunkens 5 hengseldel 8. Prinsipielt kan sperreanordningen 6 også forestilles utformet som del av avfallsdunken. The locking device 6 according to the invention comprises a barb 1 on a step 2 which is in turn connected to an attachment part 3 for attaching the device to the waste can, preferably to the hinge part 8 of the waste can 5. In principle, the locking device 6 can also be imagined as designed as part of the waste can.

Det er imidlertid vesentlig for bruken at sperreanordningen 6 utformes av et materiale som på den ene side er elastisk og som på den annen side tåler både sterk kulde og sterk varme og relativt røff behandling. However, it is essential for the use that the locking device 6 is made of a material which on the one hand is elastic and which on the other hand can withstand both strong cold and strong heat and relatively rough treatment.

Når lokket 4 er lukket, slik det er vist på figur 5, vil sperreanordningen ikke påvirke lokket. Løftes lokket 4 imidlertid noe, vil lokkets hengseldel 7 presses mot mothakens 1 underside og hindre at lokket åpnes. Denne sperre er tilstrekkelig for at vinden ikke skal kunne åpne lokket 4 og hindrer også at lokket 4 åpnes dersom avfallsdunken 5 velter. Dersom det imidlertid utøves et press i størrelsesorden 2-3 kg eller mer mot lokket 4 oppover, vil sperreanordningens 6 skaft 2 bøyes ut og sikre at lokkets hengseldel 7 glir forbi mothaken 1, slik at lokket 4 uten problemer kan åpnes av en bruker. Dette sikrer på den annen side også at lokket 4 åpnes når avfallsdunken 5 snus på hodet for å tømmes i en renovasjonsbil, idet innholdet i dunken dermed vil utøve et press som sikrer at lokket åpnes. When the lid 4 is closed, as shown in Figure 5, the locking device will not affect the lid. However, if the lid 4 is lifted somewhat, the hinge part 7 of the lid will be pressed against the underside of the barb 1 and prevent the lid from opening. This barrier is sufficient to prevent the wind from opening the lid 4 and also prevents the lid 4 from being opened if the waste bin 5 tips over. If, however, a pressure of the order of 2-3 kg or more is exerted against the lid 4 upwards, the locking device 6's shaft 2 will be bent out and ensure that the lid's hinge part 7 slides past the barb 1, so that the lid 4 can be opened by a user without problems. This, on the other hand, also ensures that the lid 4 is opened when the waste can 5 is turned upside down to be emptied into a waste disposal truck, as the contents of the can will thus exert a pressure which ensures that the lid is opened.

Når lokket 4 løftes forbi sperreanordningen 6 og deretter slippes, vil lokkets 4 hengseldel 7, som vist på figur 7, ligge an mot oversiden av sperreanordningens 6 mothake 1 og holde seg oppe slik at en bruker kan legge avfall ned i dunken. Det er et kjent problem at lokket faller 270° bakover dersom avfallsdunken 5 ikke står foran en vegg. Dette problem er løst med anordningen 6 ifølge foreliggende oppfinnelse. Brukeren kan lett trekke lokket 4 ned ved utøvelse av en liten kraft. When the lid 4 is lifted past the locking device 6 and then released, the hinge part 7 of the lid 4, as shown in figure 7, will rest against the upper side of the barb 1 of the locking device 6 and stay up so that a user can put waste into the can. It is a known problem that the lid falls 270° backwards if the waste can 5 is not in front of a wall. This problem is solved with the device 6 according to the present invention. The user can easily pull the lid 4 down by exerting a small force.

Slik det især er vist på figur 4, er haken 1 avskrådd slik at et lokk som kom-mer mot sperreanordningen 6 med en viss hastighet, vil bøye anordningen og presse seg forbi til anlegg på dunken 5. Dette vil være tilfellet når dunken settes ned etter å ha vært tømt i en renovasjonsbil. As shown in particular in figure 4, the chin 1 is beveled so that a lid coming towards the locking device 6 at a certain speed will bend the device and push past to rest on the can 5. This will be the case when the can is set down after being emptied into a waste disposal truck.

Dersom lokket presses ned mot mothaken 1 fra stillingen på figur 7, vil skaftet 2 bøyes og slippe lokkets 4 hengseldel 7 forbi, slik at lokket 4 inntar stillingen på figur 5. If the lid is pressed down against the barb 1 from the position in figure 7, the shaft 2 will bend and let the hinge part 7 of the lid 4 pass by, so that the lid 4 assumes the position in figure 5.

Sperreanordningen 6 er fortrinnsvis utformet symmetrisk, slik det især er vist med figur 4, for at den skal kunne settes på den ene eller den andre siden eventuelt på begge sider av avfallsdunken 5. For større avfallsdunker vil det være naturlig å bruke to sperreanordninger 6. The locking device 6 is preferably designed symmetrically, as shown in particular with Figure 4, so that it can be placed on one or the other side or possibly on both sides of the waste can 5. For larger waste cans, it would be natural to use two locking devices 6.

Sperreanordningen 6 ifølge oppfinnelsen kan enkelt monteres på bestående avfallsdunker av ulike fabrikater, med skruer, dobbeltsidig tape, lim eller liknende. Sperreanordningen 6 kan også utformes som del av selve avfallsdunken eller av lokket, idet også løse sperreanordningen 6 kan tenkes utformet for montering på lokket. The locking device 6 according to the invention can be easily mounted on existing waste cans of various makes, with screws, double-sided tape, glue or the like. The locking device 6 can also be designed as part of the waste can itself or of the lid, since the loose locking device 6 can also be designed for mounting on the lid.

Med en sperreanordning 6 montert på hver side av avfallsdunken sikres i stor grad at den pluggen som holdet lokkets 4 hengseldel 7 til avfallsdunkens hengseldel 8, ikke så lett presses ut av sideveis krefter påført av brukere eller av vind. With a locking device 6 mounted on each side of the waste can, it is ensured to a large extent that the plug which held the hinge part 7 of the lid 4 to the hinge part 8 of the waste can is not easily pushed out by lateral forces applied by users or by wind.
