發明領域 10 本發明關於收集各式各樣垃圾及/或回收物的容器及 關於易於清除其中置放物的容器。 I：先前技術3 發明背景 垃圾容器通常内襯有内襯袋。當容器填滿時，其内容 15 物藉著移除填滿的内襯袋而移除。然而，於一些垃圾容器 中，特別是當該容器接近滿載時，由於容器内壁上内容物 壓力之故，移除内襯袋變得困難。當袋被拉出時，由於在 容器内部形成低壓力“真空”，所以内襯袋的移除變得更為 困難。更複雜地，在一些容器中，當内襯袋被填滿時，它 20 會落入容器中，如此使得移除内容物變得更加困難。 【發明内容】 發明概要 於一態樣中，一般而言，一種垃圾及/或回收物容器包 括界定凹洞及具有蓋的外殼，蓋可打開以產生接近凹洞的 3 200951046 開口。箱設置於在一端具有打開部的凹洞中。箱具有形成 内部區域的多個部分。該等部分互相嚅合以允許箱從第一

首先參考第1至5Β圖，其中顯示數個容器1〇〇的外 ^圖。容器包括分別在其左側及右側具有提起把手1〇4R及 1〇4L的直線狀外殼1〇2。在外殼的水平頂表面上蓋 一有内門108。如第6至8B圖所示，蓋在鉸鏈112處樞轉 〇地連接至外殼，如此其可向上旋轉而打開並且完全地暴露 外殼内部。按壓另外作為蓋之釋放鈕的標識板113開啟蓋 並容許其向上旋轉而打開。於一些實施例中’在連結著蓋 之较鏈的扭轉彈簧的偏壓下，蓋旋轉打開。 亦如第6至8B圖所示，内門108藉由典型的“推-推” 9 200951046 閃上機制而開啟及再閃上。於—些實施例中，藉由扭轉彈 簧’門關於將_合至蓋的趁鏈114(未顯示）而偏堡地打 開，而且藉由Μ上機制保持門的關閉與問上。輕輕下推靠 近門的前半部處造錢辦_並料彈簧以大約九十度 角向上及後提㈣來有限度地進人外㈣，諸如將垃圾: 入该處。對抗彈簧偏壓，將蓋推回至其關閉狀態則關閉門 並且再閃上問上機制。 10 15 參考第15Α及15Β圖’於一些實施例中蓋ι〇6包括多 個對準調整片31〇,例如在容器—側上—個的兩調整片。調 整片吻合外殼中的凹處，當_其可提供穩定性給蓋。各 凹處在其基部包括彈簧32G，#片31”凹處吻合時， 彈簧320被壓縮，如第以圖所示。當蓋被釋放時，例如 當藉著按壓釋放叙113開啟蓋時，蓋至少部分地被彈簧強 迫=上’如第15B圖所示。此容許使用者可以將其手指插 入蓋與外殼之間形成的空隙中而更進—步打開蓋子。 於一些實施例中，藉由—或多個典型的腳踏板致動件 可打開蓋仙Η或兩者，㈣必科_。踏板相對於外 殼的前表面可部分地或較佳地全部地凹下。蓋或内門也可 裝有可替換的異味減少系統’諸如異味吸收活性碳墊。 參考第16圖，於一些實施例中，腳踏板致動件400被 用以打開内門’一或多個連鎖件410連接踏板槓桿420與 内門⑽。當蓋⑽關閉時(如第16圖所示），下壓腳踏板 使踏板槓桿上升，藉此向上推連鎖件。連鎖軸合至内門， 如此當連鎖件被向上推時，内門打開㈣16 _示）。當 20 200951046 蓋106被打開時，蓋中的内門仍然關閉，連鎖件410輕合 至内門處的點414與連鎖件410耦合至踏板槓桿處的點412 之間的距離增加。為了容納這個增加，連鎖件410由兩套 疊段構成，當蓋106打開時，該兩套疊段被拉開；然後當 5 蓋關閉時，該兩套疊段再次縮短。 現在參考第9至13圖，設置於外殼内部中者為收集箱 116，當蓋106打開時，藉由向上地拉它穿越外殼頂部，它 可從外殼上任意地移除。箱包括具有底表面122與直立周 圍124的基盤118。於一些實施例中，基盤形成用於捕捉濺 1〇 出液體的不透水容器而不需要整個箱都是防水的。第一及 第二週邊壁部126A及126B被收納於基部的直立周圍中而 且從該處向上延伸以界定環狀的打開頂緣128及空的内部 腔132。當箱被適當地放置於外殼102中時，環狀打開頂緣 128與内部腔132被直接地設置於内門108下方，如此通 過打開的門而落下的垃圾將掉入腔中。 較佳地，箱的垃圾儲存能力大約為10加侖，且大約12 英吋寬乘以17英吋深乘以28英吋高。 箱適合於收納一次使用性的内襯袋（未顯示），其内襯於 内部腔132且具有向外地垂置於環狀緣128上方的上開口 20 端。當箱被設置於外殼中時，環狀頂緣垂直地位於打開之 蓋106所產生之開口的上方，如第9圖所清楚顯示的。開 口及緣共同合作地形成用以收受内襯袋之垂下-上方 (draped-over)部的環狀間隙。本揭露實施例之整個環繞的間 隙為1.5至2英吋寬，較佳地至少〇 5英吋寬，以容許使用 200951046 者的指尖下推内襯袋之垂下-上方部且推入其中，不管該垂 下-上方部有多長。這可以防止當蓋關閉時，袋的端部延伸 超過外殼的難看外觀。 蓋1〇6具有適於嚅合環狀間隙142及環狀緣128之向 5下延伸的環狀壁144以強迫内襯袋的垂下-上方端3〇2進入 間隙中並且當蓋處在關閉狀態時，使垂下-上方部固定至 環狀緣。 參考第20圖，於一些實施例中，箱116包括形成在周 圍124上方、面向外部分的内襯袋儲存囊7〇2。於一些實施 10例中，儲存囊702位於面對外殼102前面之周圍124的表 面上。設計儲存囊702的尺寸與形狀以收納及儲存數個摺 疊的内襯袋（未顯示）。例如，儲存囊702沿著其側邊緣7〇3, 703與底邊緣705被固定至箱表面。上邊緣7〇4未固定至箱 表面且與箱表面空間上分離以提供到達儲存囊7〇2内部空 15間的通路。當整個袋已經被從箱110上移除時，儲存囊702 的位置及安排提供了使用者替換内襯袋的便利途徑。 箱116的週邊壁部126A及12δΒ兩者在鉸鏈i46A及 146B處分別樞轉地嚅合基盤，使得各個壁部可向外地旋 轉，而且藉著延伸開口、緣128及當箱仍然在容器中時裂開 20 開口緣，各個壁部可相當地分離。 於顯示的實施例中，箱116被分段，如此週邊壁部126A 及126B大致對應至前及後部分。然而，於其他實施例中， 箱116可被分段，使得週邊壁部126A及126B大致對應相 對的側部分，諸如左及右側部分。 200951046 於第9圖中’箱116與壁部一起顯示，其中箱116與 外设102之間具有可供箱擴張的空間。處於擴張狀態且無 外殼的箱116顯示於第11圖中。例如，當内襯袋已經被垃 圾過度塞滿時，向上漸次擴張（亦即，逐漸朝向頂部加寬) 5的内部腔132可容許内襯袋更容易被移除。於一些實施例 中，於袋被移除之後，鉸鏈的置放容許重力去造成壁部的 一起後墜。於一些實施例中，壁部彼此相同，如此僅需要 一個模件就可以製作兩個壁部。於其他實施例中，壁部具 有不同的形狀且使用不同的模件。延伸從各部分朝向其他 10的蓋並於展開開口期間避免間隙的形成。於一些實施例 中，蓋106與箱116的嚅合抑制了箱之壁部的展開且當 蓋106打開時，使壁部脫離。來自聚集於箱中之内襯袋内 之垃圾或回收物的重力及/或壓力造成壁的分離。於一些實 施例中，當蓋106打開時，壁部可被例如彈簧機制偏壓而 打開，或者壁部可被偏壓來對抗來自内容物的壓力而避免 過度的展開。於-些實施例中，例如，如果各壁由於部分 地填滿的箱的壓力已經務稍展開一些，則蓋i 〇 6的任意= 閉造成各壁聚集在一起。 當塞滿的袋被移除時，週邊壁部與基盤合作形成氣孔 2〇 148會容許空氣進入内部腔132的下部份，如此藉著消除真 空的產生使得袋更容易被移除。氣孔具有在週邊壁部外邊 的空氣吸入開口 152，以及設置於空内部腔中且在空氣吸入 開口下方的空氣排出開口 154,如此不慎濺入箱中的液體被 留存於基盤内，而不容許其流進外殼1〇2中。 13 200951046 於一些實施例中，容器包括防止箱從容器中移除的的 解開限制機制。例如，當從容器中移除填滿的内襯袋時， 容器100的使用者能夠使機制維持嚆合狀態來防止箱U6 隨著袋被拉出。於一些實施例中，腳踏板被用於解開該機 5 制。於一些實施例中，其中下壓腳踏板400打開内門，下 壓踏板400也解開限制機制而容許箱116被移除^參考第 17A圖，限制機制的其中一形式為鉤510,當踏板4〇〇下壓 時’鉤510樞轉並脫離箱基部中的狹縫530。參考第17B 圖’當踏板400釋放時，鉤520嚅合狹縫530。於一些實施 10 例中’限制機制利用磁鐵，該磁鐵可脫離以允許箱被移除。 例如，箱在其基部具有第一固定的磁鐵，且第二磁鐵貼附 至主體，使得下壓踏板造成第二磁鐵與第一磁鐵分開，藉 此減少遏制箱的力量。於一些實施例中，限制系統利用一 或多個彈性構件以嗡合形成於外箱表面中的對應制動器， 15 藉此克服彈性力量之後箱可被移除。例如，可以提供一種 被偏壓而朝著與箱側表面成垂直方向延伸之裝有彈簧的栓 來喝合制動器。 參考第19圖，另一形式的限制機制包括鉤610，其經 過鉤61〇的移動運動而不是樞轉運動而噶合狹縫530。在此 20 形式中’藉由使用靠近容器100底部的開關（未顯示），鉤 61〇可用腳致動，或藉由使用靠近容器100頂部的開關 620’鉤610可用手致動。為了達成手動啟動，備置有連接 鉤610至位於靠近容器1〇〇頂部之開關620的連鎖件605。 於一些實施例中，連鎖件605被構形成繞著位於鉤610與 14 200951046 開關620之間的樞轉點615樞轉，如此朝一方向致動開關 620會導致鉤610朝相反方向運動。例如，向内推開關61〇 會導致鉤610從狹縫53〇中縮回。 5 ❹ 10 15 20 壁部126A及126B可由基盤118上移除以更容易被清 潔’基盤118可由高溫材料製成以容許洗碟機的清洗。 參考第14圖，容器100更包括具有定時器與指示器的 電氣系統，當容器内容物應該被清空時，電氣系統的指示 器會發出警報。控制/顯示器面板156容許使用者操作並觀 察系統的電子功能。定時器較佳地係被程式化以設定“垃圾 天”的七天定時器，諸如當垃圾處理服務的排程已經設定或 當使用者正常地將垃圾帶往垃圾場時。LCD顯示器164正 常地顯示現在的時間與現在是星期幾。當今天是“垃圾天” 時，指示器警報圖示變得可見且閃爍於LCD顯示器上而且 會產生聲音訊號。使用“現在日期/時間，，選擇器開關162可 以設定現在的日期/時間，而且使用警報時間選擇器開關 160也可預設警報時間。於其他實施例中，其他產生警報的 規則包括，例如依據自從上次清空容器迄今的時間及/或依 據内門108被打開的次數。 電氣系統較佳地係電池操作的，其中⑽顯示器包括 低電池電力圖示，當電池電壓下降至低於駭程度時該 低電池電力圖示變成可見及/或閃燦。 參考第18圖，其顯示用於容器之箱的另-實施例。箱 216具有-初始箱部226A及—第二箱部226b，初始箱部 226A含有底表面222與直立的初始壁224A，第二箱部226丑 15 200951046 含有直立的第二壁224B，其與初始壁合作形成直立週邊 壁’其中初始壁與第二壁相對樞轉地嗡合於鉸鏈246處， 如此兩個箱部分係相對可分離而使得填滿之内襯袋的移除 變知谷易。亦即，與此實施例中，具有兩個壁部，其等關 5於彼此相互分開，其中一個壁部關於外殼102移動，但是 另一個壁部維持固定。於其他實施例中，基盤的使用不是 必要的，例如，兩個壁部可以嚅合，如此其等即可一起形 成基部。 於其他實施例中’壁部不必然必須樞轉地互相貼附。 10可以使用其他嚅合壁部的方式，同時提供壁部可相對於彼 此移動的能力來加大内腔132體積及/或增加内腔呈錐形形 狀的程度。例如，壁部可滑動地耦合。 現在參考第27-29圖，其中描述用於容器10〇的阻尼 機制，該阻尼機制提供蓋116内門1〇8的阻尼式關閉。阻 15尼機制包括流體阻尼器450,其連接至連鎖件410以控制腳 踏板一被釋放之時，内門108關閉的速率。 流體阻尼器450係利用支撲架460安裝於容器外殼1〇2 的内壁表面上（第28圖）。於一些實施例中，流體阻尼器450 係女裝於外设1 〇2中等南度之上方位置處（例如，鄰近外殼 20 1〇2之上端處）的外殼後、内壁表面上。於一些實施例中， 流體阻尼器為空氣阻尼器。然而，於流體阻尼器450中使 用其他流體也落入本發明的範圍内。 流體阻尼器450包括流體阻尼器外殼456與設置流體 阻尼器外殼456中的活塞452。支撐架460包括開口 462 , 16 200951046 流體阻尼器450置於支撐架460上，使得阻尼器臂454從 活塞452延伸穿越開口 462。阻尼器臂454的一端通過水平 延伸的橫越桿432連接至連鎖件410 (第27圖）。 5 10 15 ❹ 如前所述，各連鎖件410由兩套疊段416，418組成， 且連鎖件410沿著鄰近外殼200後壁的各容器1〇〇側大致 垂直地延伸。特別地，各連鎖件410由圓柱管狀構件形成 且包括上連鎖件416及下連鎖件418。上連鎖件416比下連 鎖件418具有較大的直#，下連鎖件418 #上端被收納於 上連鎖件416下端的空内部空間内，且上連鎖件416沿著 下連鎖件418軸向地滑動（第29圖）。 如第27圖所示，橫越桿432延伸於兩連鎖件41〇之間。 橫越桿432各端436備置有穿越洞434,其尺寸可收納穿越 的下連鎖件418。使用時，下連鎖件418的個別上端延伸穿 過穿越洞434’且停止構件43〇被固定於下連鎖件418上以 於連鎖件上保持橫越桿432在所要的最小高度。一旦 橫越桿432被安裝在連鎖件彻之間，則下連鎖件418 S 上端被插入上連鎖件的416的内部”中，藉此橫越桿扣 及上連鎖件416沿著下連鎖件418的上端自由地滑動直到 被停止構件430所阻擋為止。 20 一 ΓΓ 傲上推時，内門 2動至第16圖所示的打開位置。於連鎖件彻向上移動 至Hr件418在上連鎖件116内垂直地向上移動直 =件43()緊抵橫越桿432及上連鎖件416的下端。 此時’由於停止構件430存在之故，上連鎖件416及 17 200951046 桿432也跟著下連鎖件418被向上驅動。 由於橫越桿432隨著連鎖件410上升，所以活塞幻2 在流體圓柱外殼456内經由阻尼器臂454的對應移動而.皮 向上驅動。於-些實施例中’構形流體阻尼使得活 5塞452在流體圓柱外殼456内的向上移動不會有阻礙。 當腳踏板釋放時，由於其連接412至腳踏板横桿· 之故，下連鎖件418被向下拉動。此外，内n 1〇8經由重 力開始返回關閉位置。當内門1〇8關閉時，橫越桿幻2下 降，使得流體阻尼器450内的活塞452也下拉。然而，由 © 10於流體阻尼器450的阻尼作用’所以内門1〇8回復的速率 變慢。特別地，流體阻尼器450被構形成對於流體圓柱夕卜 殼456内之活塞452的向下運動提供阻力。

removal of the contents therein. I: Prior Art 3 Background of the Invention Garbage containers are usually lined with a lined bag. When the container is full, its contents are removed by removing the filled liner bag. However, in some garbage containers, particularly when the container is nearly full, it becomes difficult to remove the liner bag due to the pressure of the contents on the inner wall of the container. When the bag is pulled out, the removal of the liner bag becomes more difficult due to the formation of a low pressure "vacuum" inside the container. More complicatedly, in some containers, when the liner bag is filled, it 20 will fall into the container, making it more difficult to remove the contents. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In one aspect, in general, a trash and/or recyclate container includes a recess defining a recess and a cover that can be opened to create an opening that is adjacent to the recess. The box is placed in a recess having an opening at one end. The box has a plurality of sections that form an interior region. The portions are joined to each other to allow the box to be changed from the first configuration to the second configuration such that the volume of the interior region of the tank is greater in the second configuration than in the first configuration. 5 Various aspects may include one or more of the following features. The box has two walls that are pivotally coupled to each other to allow for a change from a first configuration of the box to a second configuration by pivoting the wall relative to each other. The upward extent of the box in the second configuration is progressively smaller than in the first configuration. 10 When the lid is open, the box can be removed through the formed opening. When closed, the lid maintains the box in the first configuration. The lid may include a door that, when opened, while maintaining the lid closed, provides access to the interior region of the tank. The lid, when closed, can be fitted with the box to secure the liner bag of the box. In another aspect, in general, a waste container includes a housing defining a recess 15 and a cover, the cover being openable to create an opening to access the recess, the case being disposed in the recess and permeable to the opening Remove from the hole. The box may have a bottom surface and an upstanding peripheral wall, the wall having two portions, a portion or portions of the wall pivotally kneading the bottom surface such that the two portions are relatively separable to allow removal of the filled liner bag It's easy. In addition, the box may have an initial box portion having a bottom surface and an upright initial wall, and a second box portion having an upright second wall, the second box portion cooperating with the initial wall to form an upstanding peripheral wall, wherein the initial and second The walls can be pivoted relatively pivotally such that the two box portions are relatively separable to facilitate removal of the filled liner bag. 200951046 • The perimeter wall terminates at the top of the annular rim and the box can be adapted to receive the liner bag inside the perimeter wall of the liner and hang outwardly above the annular rim. The lid may have a downwardly extending annular wall adapted to engage the annular rim of the box to secure the hanging-upper portion of the inner bag to the annular rim when the lid is in the closed condition. The 5 bar can have a timer and a combined indicator that alerts when the time to process the garbage arrives. In one general aspect, the container includes a housing having a hinged lid that is pivoted to an open position via a foot-actuated lifting mechanism to provide access to the interior of the container. The lifting mechanism includes a pivoting lever that is fixed to the foot pedal. The pivoting 10 rod includes one or more damper devices that are configured to form a swirling movement of the damped pivot rod. The damper device allows the cover to slowly return to the closed position when the foot-actuated lifting mechanism is released. In some aspects, a container comprising a container outer casing is provided. The outer casing includes side walls that are arranged in the closed section and a bottom that extends between the lower ends of the side walls. The cover is rotatably connected to the upper end of one of the side walls. The container includes a lifting mechanism having an actuating pedal that recurs in unison with the horizontally extending pivoting lever. The pivoting rod is configured to rotate about the pivot axis about the container housing, the traverse rod extending between the planting rod and the vertical struts, the struts being connected across the rod to the lid. The lifting mechanism is configured to allow the cover to move between the closed position and the open position by converting the rotary motion of the pedal about the pivot axis into a translational motion of the struts. In addition, the lifting mechanism includes a damper configured to dampen the rotational movement of the pivoting lever. Embodiments of the barn may include one or more of the following features: the damper includes a dish containing an axially traversing hole; a closed damper housing having a size and shape suitable for receiving a space in the disk of 5, 2009, 510, 46; Viscous fluid inside.

As used herein, the terms "garbage," and "recycle" are to be taken broadly and include, for example, discarded articles and collections that are reused in various forms (eg, by collection and remanufacturing of plastic bottles, Or it may be collected in such a manner as to be collected for washing or washing, etc.) Referring first to Figures 1 to 5, there are shown an outer view of several containers. The container includes a lifting handle 1 on the left and right sides thereof, respectively.直线4R and 1〇4L linear housing 1〇2. The inner top door 108 is covered on the horizontal top surface of the outer casing. As shown in Figures 6 to 8B, the cover is pivotally connected to the outer casing at the hinge 112, It can be rotated upwards to open and completely expose the inside of the casing. The marker plate 113, which is additionally used as a release button of the cover, opens the cover and allows it to open upwardly to open. In some embodiments, 'the torsion spring of the chain connected to the cover Under the bias voltage, the cover is rotated and opened. As also shown in Figures 6 to 8B, the inner door 108 is opened and reflashed by a typical "push-push" 9 200951046 flashing mechanism. In some embodiments, By twisting the spring's door Open the shackle 114 (not shown) to the cover and open it, and keep the door closed and asked by the squat mechanism. Gently push down the front half of the door to make money _ _ spring Limiting the entrance to the outside (4) with an angle of about ninety degrees and a second (4), such as putting rubbish into the place. Against the spring bias, push the cover back to its closed state and close the door and flash again. Mechanisms 15 15 Referring to Figures 15 and 15 'In some embodiments the cover 〇 6 includes a plurality of alignment tabs 31 , such as on the container side - two tabs. The tabs fit into the recess in the housing Where, when it provides stability to the cover, each recess is compressed at its base including the spring 32G, #片31" recess, the spring 320 is compressed, as shown in the figure. When the cover is released, such as when the cover is opened by pressing the release 113, the cover is at least partially urged by the spring = up as shown in Fig. 15B. This allows the user to insert the finger into the gap formed between the cover and the outer casing to further open the cover. In some embodiments, the lid or both may be opened by - or a plurality of typical foot pedal actuators, (4) Benko. The pedal may be partially or preferably completely recessed relative to the front surface of the outer casing. The lid or inner door may also be fitted with a replaceable odor reducing system such as an odor absorbing activated carbon pad. Referring to Figure 16, in some embodiments, the foot pedal actuating member 400 is used to open the inner door ' one or more interlocking members 410 to connect the pedal lever 420 to the inner door (10). When the cover (10) is closed (as shown in Figure 16), pressing the foot pedal raises the pedal lever, thereby pushing up the chain. The interlocking shaft is closed to the inner door, so that when the interlocking member is pushed up, the inner door is opened (four) 16_show). When the cover 106 is opened, the inner door in the cover is still closed, and the distance between the link 410 and the point 414 at the inner door and the point 412 at which the interlock 410 is coupled to the pedal lever increases. To accommodate this increase, the interlocking member 410 is constructed of two sets of stacked sections which are pulled apart when the cover 106 is opened; then when the cover is closed, the two sets of stacked sections are shortened again. Referring now to Figures 9 through 13, the interior of the housing is provided as a collection bin 116 which can be arbitrarily removed from the housing by pulling it up across the top of the housing when the cover 106 is opened. The case includes a base 118 having a bottom surface 122 and an upright perimeter 124. In some embodiments, the base plate forms a watertight container for capturing spilled liquid without requiring the entire case to be waterproof. The first and second peripheral wall portions 126A and 126B are received in the upright periphery of the base and extend upward therefrom to define an annular open top edge 128 and an empty inner cavity 132. When the box is properly placed in the outer casing 102, the annular open top edge 128 and the inner cavity 132 are disposed directly below the inner door 108 such that the trash falling through the open door will fall into the cavity. Preferably, the bin has a garbage storage capacity of approximately 10 gallons and is approximately 12 inches wide by 17 inches deep by 28 inches high. The case is adapted to receive a disposable liner bag (not shown) that is lined within the interior cavity 132 and has an upper opening 20 that projects outwardly above the annular rim 128. When the case is placed in the housing, the annular top edge is vertically above the opening created by the open cover 106, as best shown in Figure 9. The opening and the edge cooperate to form an annular gap for receiving the drape-over portion of the liner bag. The entire circumferential gap of the disclosed embodiment is 1.5 to 2 inches wide, preferably at least 5 inches wide, to allow the fingertip of the 200951046 to be used to push down the down-up portion of the liner bag and push it into it. No matter how long it is hanging down - the upper part. This prevents the end of the bag from extending beyond the unsightly appearance of the outer casing when the lid is closed. The cover 1〇6 has an annular wall 144 adapted to engage the annular gap 142 and the annular rim 128 extending downwardly 5 to force the hanging-upper end 3〇2 of the liner bag into the gap and when the lid is closed In the state, the hanging-upper portion is fixed to the annular edge. Referring to Fig. 20, in some embodiments, the bin 116 includes a liner bag storage pocket 7〇2 formed above the perimeter 124, facing the outer portion. In some implementations 10, the reservoir 702 is located on a surface that faces the periphery 124 of the front of the outer casing 102. The storage bag 702 is sized and shaped to receive and store a plurality of folded liner bags (not shown). For example, the storage bag 702 is secured to the tank surface along its side edges 7〇3, 703 and bottom edge 705. The upper edge 7〇4 is not fixed to the tank surface and is spatially separated from the tank surface to provide access to the interior space 15 of the storage bladder 7〇2. When the entire bag has been removed from the bin 110, the location and arrangement of the storage bag 702 provides a convenient way for the user to replace the liner bag. The peripheral wall portions 126A and 12δΒ of the box 116 pivotally mate the base plates at hinges i46A and 146B, respectively, such that the respective wall portions are rotatable outwardly, and by extending the opening, the rim 128 and while the box is still in the container Cracking the opening edge of the 20, the walls can be separated considerably. In the illustrated embodiment, the bin 116 is segmented such that the peripheral wall portions 126A and 126B generally correspond to the front and rear portions. However, in other embodiments, the bin 116 can be segmented such that the peripheral wall portions 126A and 126B generally correspond to opposing side portions, such as the left and right side portions. 200951046 In Figure 9, the box 116 is shown with the wall, with a space between the box 116 and the peripheral 102 for the box to expand. The box 116, which is in an expanded state and has no outer casing, is shown in Fig. 11. For example, when the liner bag has been overfilled with trash, the internal cavity 132 that gradually expands upwardly (i.e., gradually widens toward the top) 5 allows the liner bag to be more easily removed. In some embodiments, after the bag is removed, the placement of the hinge allows gravity to cause the wall to collapse together. In some embodiments, the walls are identical to one another such that only two modules are required to make the two walls. In other embodiments, the walls have different shapes and use different modules. The cover extending from each portion toward the other 10 is extended and the formation of the gap is avoided during the deployment of the opening. In some embodiments, the engagement of the cover 106 with the box 116 inhibits deployment of the wall portion of the box and disengages the wall portion when the lid 106 is opened. The separation of the walls is caused by the gravity and/or pressure of the refuse or recyclate from the liner bag gathered in the tank. In some embodiments, when the lid 106 is open, the wall portion can be biased open by, for example, a spring mechanism, or the wall portion can be biased to resist pressure from the contents to avoid excessive deployment. In some embodiments, for example, if the walls have been slightly expanded due to the pressure of the partially filled bin, any closure of the cap i 〇 6 causes the walls to gather together. When the stuffed bag is removed, the peripheral wall portion cooperates with the base plate to form a vent 2 148 which allows air to enter the lower portion of the internal cavity 132, thus making the bag easier to remove by eliminating the creation of vacuum. The air hole has an air suction opening 152 outside the peripheral wall portion, and an air discharge opening 154 disposed in the empty internal cavity and below the air suction opening, so that the liquid accidentally splashed into the box is retained in the base plate, and is not allowed It flows into the outer casing 1〇2. 13 200951046 In some embodiments, the container includes a disarming restriction mechanism that prevents the box from being removed from the container. For example, when the filled liner bag is removed from the container, the user of the container 100 can maintain the kneading mechanism to prevent the bin U6 from being pulled out of the bag. In some embodiments, a foot pedal is used to unlock the machine. In some embodiments, wherein the depression of the foot pedal 400 opens the inner door, the depression pedal 400 also unlocks the restriction mechanism to allow the can 116 to be removed. Referring to FIG. 17A, one form of the restriction mechanism is the hook 510. When the pedal 4 is depressed, the hook 510 pivots and disengages from the slit 530 in the base of the box. Referring to Figure 17B, when the pedal 400 is released, the hook 520 engages the slit 530. In some implementations, the 'restriction mechanism utilizes a magnet that can be disengaged to allow the box to be removed. For example, the box has a first fixed magnet at its base and the second magnet is attached to the body such that the depression of the pedal causes the second magnet to separate from the first magnet, thereby reducing the force of the containment box. In some embodiments, the restraining system utilizes one or more resilient members to twist the corresponding brakes formed in the outer casing surface, 15 thereby overcoming the elastic forces and the bin can be removed. For example, a spring-loaded peg that is biased to extend perpendicular to the side surface of the tank can be provided to engage the brake. Referring to Fig. 19, another form of restriction mechanism includes a hook 610 that engages the slit 530 via a moving motion of the hook 61〇 instead of a pivoting motion. In this form 20, by using a switch (not shown) near the bottom of the container 100, the hook 61 can be actuated by the foot, or by using the switch 620' hook 610 near the top of the container 100. In order to achieve manual activation, a linkage 605 is provided with a connection hook 610 to a switch 620 located near the top of the container 1 。. In some embodiments, the interlock 605 is configured to pivot about a pivot point 615 between the hooks 610 and 14 200951046 switch 620 such that actuating the switch 620 in one direction causes the hook 610 to move in the opposite direction. For example, pushing the switch 61 向 inwardly causes the hook 610 to retract from the slit 53 。. 5 ❹ 10 15 20 Walls 126A and 126B can be removed from the base plate 118 to be more easily cleaned. The base plate 118 can be made of a high temperature material to permit cleaning of the dishwasher. Referring to Figure 14, the container 100 further includes an electrical system having a timer and an indicator that alerts the electrical system when the contents of the container should be emptied. The control/display panel 156 allows the user to operate and view the electronic functions of the system. The timer is preferably programmed to set a "day of garbage" seven-day timer, such as when the schedule of the garbage disposal service has been set or when the user normally takes the garbage to the landfill. The LCD display 164 normally displays the current time and the day of the week. When today is “garbage day”, the indicator alert icon becomes visible and flashes on the LCD display and an audible signal is generated. Using the "now date/time, the selector switch 162 can set the current date/time, and the alarm time selector switch 160 can also be used to preset the alarm time. In other embodiments, other rules for generating an alarm include, for example, The time since the container was last emptyed and/or according to the number of times the inner door 108 was opened. The electrical system is preferably battery operated, wherein (10) the display includes a low battery power diagram when the battery voltage drops below zero The low battery power diagram becomes visible and/or flashing. Referring to Figure 18, there is shown another embodiment of a box for a container. The box 216 has an initial box portion 226A and a second box portion 226b, an initial box The portion 226A includes a bottom surface 222 and an upstanding initial wall 224A, and the second box portion 226 ug 15 200951046 includes an upright second wall 224B that cooperates with the initial wall to form an upstanding peripheral wall 'where the initial wall and the second wall are relatively pivotally Coupling at the hinge 246, the two box portions are relatively separable so that the removal of the filled liner bag becomes easy. That is, in this embodiment, there are two wall portions. , the equals 5 are separated from each other, one of the walls moves relative to the outer casing 102, but the other wall remains fixed. In other embodiments, the use of the base is not necessary, for example, the two walls can be folded, Thus, the bases can be formed together. In other embodiments, the 'walls do not necessarily have to be pivotally attached to each other. 10 Other ways of merging the walls can be used while providing the ability of the walls to move relative to each other. Increasing the volume of the inner cavity 132 and/or increasing the extent to which the inner cavity has a tapered shape. For example, the wall portion is slidably coupled. Referring now to Figures 27-29, a damping mechanism for the container 10〇 is described, which is a damping mechanism A damped closure of the inner door 1 8 of the cover 116 is provided. The resistance mechanism includes a fluid damper 450 coupled to the interlock 410 to control the rate at which the inner door 108 closes as soon as the foot pedal is released. The 450 series is mounted on the inner wall surface of the container casing 1 2 by means of a brace 460 (Fig. 28). In some embodiments, the fluid damper 450 is placed at a position above the medium south of the peripheral 1 〇 2 (E.g Adjacent to the outer casing surface of the outer casing 20 1 〇 2, the fluid damper is an air damper. However, the use of other fluids in the fluid damper 450 also falls within the scope of the present invention. The fluid damper 450 includes a fluid damper housing 456 and a piston 452 disposed in the fluid damper housing 456. The support bracket 460 includes an opening 462, 16 200951046 The fluid damper 450 is placed on the support frame 460 such that the damper arm 454 is Piston 452 extends through opening 462. One end of damper arm 454 is coupled to interlocking member 410 by a horizontally extending traverse rod 432 (Fig. 27). 5 10 15 如前所述 As previously described, each interlocking member 410 is comprised of two sets of stacked sections. 416, 418 is formed, and the interlocking member 410 extends substantially perpendicularly along the side of each of the containers 1 adjacent to the rear wall of the outer casing 200. In particular, each interlocking member 410 is formed from a cylindrical tubular member and includes an upper interlocking member 416 and a lower interlocking member 418. The upper interlocking member 416 has a larger straight than the lower interlocking member 418, and the upper interlocking member 418# is received in the empty inner space of the lower end of the upper interlocking member 416, and the upper interlocking member 416 is axially disposed along the lower interlocking member 418. Slide (Figure 29). As shown in Fig. 27, the traverse bar 432 extends between the two interlocking members 41A. Each end 436 of the crossbar 432 is provided with a through hole 434 sized to receive a lower interlocking member 418. In use, the individual upper ends of the lower interlocking member 418 extend through the through hole 434' and the stop member 43 is secured to the lower interlocking member 418 to maintain the crossbar 432 at the desired minimum height on the chain member. Once the traversing rod 432 is installed between the interlocks, the upper end of the lower interlocking member 418 S is inserted into the interior of the upper interlocking member 416, thereby traversing the lever buckle and the upper interlocking member 416 along the lower interlocking member 418. The upper end is free to slide until it is blocked by the stopping member 430. 20 ΓΓ When the arrogant pushes up, the inner door 2 moves to the open position shown in Fig. 16. The interlocking member moves up to the Hr piece 418 in the upper interlocking piece The upper portion 43 is vertically moved upwardly to the lower end of the traverse rod 432 and the upper interlocking member 416. At this time, due to the presence of the stopping member 430, the upper interlocking members 416 and 17 200951046 are also chained downward. The member 418 is driven upward. As the traverse rod 432 rises with the interlocking member 410, the piston phantom 2 is driven upwardly within the fluid cylindrical outer casing 456 via the corresponding movement of the damper arm 454. In some embodiments The fluidic damping causes the upward movement of the live 5 plug 452 within the fluid cylindrical housing 456 to be unobstructed. When the foot pedal is released, the lower interlocking member 418 is lowered due to its connection 412 to the foot pedal rail. Pull. In addition, the inner n 1〇8 starts with gravity Returning to the closed position. When the inner door 1 〇 8 is closed, the traverse lever 2 is lowered, so that the piston 452 in the fluid damper 450 is also pulled down. However, the damping effect of the fluid damper 450 is 10, so the inner door 1 The rate of recovery of the 〇8 is slow. In particular, the fluid damper 450 is configured to provide resistance to the downward movement of the piston 452 within the fluid cylindrical shell 456. In some embodiments, the resistance characteristic of the fluid damper 450 is Adjustable. In some embodiments, the damping mechanism can be manually separated from the interlocking member 410 15 such that no damping is provided for the closing of the door. Referring to Figures 21 and 22, a description is provided for providing a lid for the container 2 Another mechanism for damped closure. The container comprises a container housing 12 having a hinged lid 14. In some embodiments, the container housing 12 is a generally vertically elongated box that is configured to receive a box or liner therein. The bottom 24 holds two items to be stored. The outer casing 12 includes side walls 2'4'6'8 arranged to form a closed section and a bottom 2'' extending between the lower ends of the side walls 2, 4, 6, 8. Displayed In the embodiment, the outer casing 12 in the horizontal section is linear, however it is also within the scope of the invention to form the outer casing 12 having other horizontal segment shapes (including elliptical and circular). The upper end of the outer casing 12 is opened 'and the cover 14 The upper end of the rear side wall 4 is pivotally attached in a conventional manner, such as the hinge 16 of 18 200951046. The cover 14 can be manually opened and closed. Further, the 'container 200 includes allowing the cover 14 to be in the closed position via actuating the pedal 22 (eg The lifter 5 is rotated between the solid line in Fig. 22 and the open position (shown by the broken line in Fig. 22). In the illustrated embodiment, the pedal 22 is a foot actuated pedal that is disposed in a recess 18 formed in the lower portion of the side wall 2 prior to the outer casing 12. In other embodiments, the pedal 22 can be a hand actuated pedal (not shown) mounted at the upper end of the housing 12. The lifting mechanism 26 is best seen in Figure 26, which shows the container 2〇〇 removed by the side wall 2, 10 4 ' 6 ' 8 . The lift mechanism 26 includes a foot pedal 22 that takes the form of an elongated, generally rectangular plate.

The traverse lever 28 is fixed at its outer end to each outer end of the foot board 22 and toward the rear side wall 4. The pivoting lever 30 extends between the respective central portions of each of the traverse bars 28 and is fixedly secured to the respective central portions of the respective traverse bars 28. The pivoting lever 3 is pivotally supported on the bottom 20 of the outer casing 12 via one or more dampers 40, as described below. The rear end of each of the cross bars 28 is pivotally coupled to the vertically extending struts 32. In some embodiments, the peg 34 connects the crossbar 28 to the strut 32. The post 32 extends between the crossbars 28 disposed adjacent the lower end of the outer casing 20 and extends to a cover 14 disposed at the upper end of the outer casing. The strut 32 is pivotally connected to the cover 14 via a peg 36, for example. The tow bar 30 includes one or more dampers 40 configured to dampen the speed at which the pivot bar 40 is swung. The damper 4〇 allows the cover 14 to slowly return to the closed position upon release of the foot-actuated lifting mechanism. Further, the damper 40 19 200951046 serves as a pivotal fulcrum of the foot board 22. 5 Referring now to Figures 23 and 24, each damper 4A includes a disc 6〇 supported to form a space 44 formed outside the damper 42. The disc 6 is a solid cylinder and includes a through hole 62 formed by its longitudinal axis. The size of the through hole is sufficient to accommodate pivoting; ^ 3G, and the disc 6 is mounted on the pivot lever % so that the disc 60 and pivots; ^ 3G moves like a single unit. This can be achieved in a conventional manner by means of a press-fit body (four) ss between the disc 60 and the pivoting lever % or using a key (not shown) to connect the disc 6G to the pivoting lever 3 。. Disc 6G may also include a groove 66 that extends around the perimeter of its closed surface 64. The viscous fluid is placed within the space 44 of the dish (6) such that the viscous fluid is placed between the damper housing 42 and the dish 6〇. The groove accommodates the viscous fluid and provides a passage through which the viscous fluid can be dispersed in the (four) dish (9) of the damping casing 42 during movement of the disk 60.
