RU2359891C2 - Container for collection of spent oil filters - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: containers.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to containers for collection of spent oil filters. Container for collection of spent oil filters comprises container body and lock for container opening. Lock for container opening and direct passage of spent oil filters through it is arranged in the form of opening with convex and concave edges that correspond to convex and concave surfaces of spent oil filter, which performs function of key to lock for container opening.

EFFECT: provision of possibility to sort spent oil filters according to dimension types for further utilisation, increased reliability and safety of container operation, simplification of container design and manufacturing technology.

Description

The invention relates to the automotive industry, and more specifically to the development and production of container designs for collecting waste oil filters, at least consisting of a metal housing, a lid and a filtering element for filtering oils.

A well-known container for storing and transporting fuel elements (fuel rods), which contains a housing, a cassette installed in the housing with cells for receiving fuel rods, a device for hermetically closing the housing and a cover, the device and the cover are attached to the housing using bolts (US patent N5406601, C21P 5/008, 1994).

The disadvantage of this design is the presence of a threaded connection, because it is known that as a result of long-term storage (about 50 years), the threaded connection becomes one-piece - corrosion and diffusion of metals occur, which, in turn, can cause the container to be depressurized.

Also known is the construction of a container for transporting and automatically unloading bobbins of yarn (RF patent No. 95104714, IPC 6 B65H 9/38, publ. 11/27/1996).

This design contains at least a housing (capacity) and a lock.

The disadvantage of this design is the limited application, the inability to reuse.

The well-known container design, as the closest in technical essence and functional purpose, was adopted by me as a prototype.

The objective of the invention is to develop such a container design for collecting waste oil filters, which would provide the ability to sort them by size for subsequent disposal, increasing the reliability and safety of operation of the container, simplifying the design and manufacturing technology of the container.

This problem is solved as follows: in a container for collecting used oil filters, comprising a container body and a lock for unlocking the container, according to the invention, a lock for unlocking the container and directly passing through it the used oil filters is made in the form of an opening with convex and concave edges corresponding to convex and concave surfaces of the used oil filter, which acts as a key to the lock to unlock the container.

The container is designed to collect used oil filters, at least consisting of a metal housing, a cover and a filter element.

The lock for unlocking the container is located in the upper part of the container container or one of its side surfaces.

General design features:

- housing;

- a lock to unlock the container;

Features:

- the lock for unlocking the container is made in the form of an opening with convex and concave edges corresponding to the convex and concave surfaces of the used oil filter, which acts as a key to the lock for unlocking the container.

The proposed constructive implementation of the container meets the criterion of "novelty", because when checking the prior art did not find a similar solution.

Figure 1 shows a General view of the container, figure 2 is a top view; figure 3 is a General view of a variant of execution of the container (rectangular case); figure 4 is a top view of an embodiment of the container.

The container comprises a housing 1, a lock in the form of an opening 2, convex and concave edges of the opening 3.

The operation of the container is as follows.

In the container 1 of the container, a filter is inserted into the lock 2 with convex and concave edges, which has the same profile on its outer surface as the container lock. The filter in this case performs the function of a key that unlocks the container lock. Thus, the used oil filter enters the container.

The technical significance of the container design lies in the fact that only used filters of a certain size and design and no others can get inside.

Accordingly, the technology developed for such filter designs will be applied for the subsequent disposal of used oil filters.

The container body may be cylindrical, rectangular and

another form.

The internal cavity of the container may be hollow, and may contain cells for accommodating waste oil filters.

Claims (2)

1. A container for collecting used oil filters, comprising a container body and a lock for unlocking the container, characterized in that the lock for unlocking the container and directly passing through it the used oil filters is made in the form of an opening with convex and concave edges corresponding to the convex and concave surfaces of the used an oil filter that acts as a key to the lock to unlock the container. 2. The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the lock for unlocking the container is placed in the upper part of the container body or one of its side surfaces.
