Description
May 31, 1966 J. l. PORTER E AL TRASH COMPACTING APPARATUS Filed Sept. 29, 1964 INVENTORS JAMES l. PORTER CARLS. VOLLMER United States Patent 3,253,537 TRASH COMPACTING APPARATUS James I. Forter, 5203 Augusta St., Washington, D.C., and Carl S. Vollmer, 625 Azalea Drive, Rockville, Md. Filed Sept. 29, 1964, Ser. No. 400,119 2 Claims. (Cl. 100-215) This invention relates to material handling apparatus and more particularly to apparatus for receiving uncompacted material such as trash and for compacting it into a greatly reduced volume and subsequently inserting the thus compacted material into a removable container for subsequent transportation to a point of disposal.
The problem of handling trash, particularly in structures such as modern apartment buildings, has come to be of very significant economic importance to the owners of such properties. Many buildings today are constructed with built-in incinerators but these are objectionable for a number of reasons. First of all, there is the ever present danger of fire spreading from the incinerator into the trash chutes or even into the area surrounding the incinerator proper. Operation of the incinerator requires, in accordance with local codes, some means for controlling the dispersal of ash in the surrounding atmosphere. In addition, such apparatus requires careful and constant attention to maintain it in operating condition in view of the fact that many non-combustibles find their way into incinerators and these must later be removed and separately disposed of. From the trash collection standpoint, at the present time, the trash is collected in trucks in uncompacted form and then hauled to a remote point such as a dump or large-sized, remotely located incinerator. Another solution has been to use trucks which have a trash compacting apparatus as a part thereof so that the uncompacted trash when dumped into the fill hopper of such vehicles is then compacted by the use of a hydraulically operated baffle or gate member. Such apparatus represents a substantial initial expenditure for the operator and a further maintenance expenditure. Further, the compaction apparatus of the type presently in use effects at best a compaction of approximately 3 or 3% to 1.
Accordingly, it is the principal object of the present invention to provide a simple and fool-proof trash compacting apparatus which apparatus is sutficiently compact to be easily housed within the basement area of the average apartment building.
A further object is to provide a trash compacting apparatus of this type which will achieve compaction ratios of the order of 8 to 10 to l.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a trash compacting apparatus which is operative once the compacting operation is complete to insert the compacted material into a disposable container for minimum volume storage prior to collection and such collection may be done in an ordinary truck without any expensive trash handling apparatus carried thereon.
Other objects of the present invention will be apparent from a consideration of the following detailed specification when read in conjunction with the attached sheet of drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side elevation, partially in section, of a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
FIGURE 2 is an end view along the lines 2-2 of FIG- URE l; and
FIGURE 3 is a view on the lines 33 of FIGURE 1.
In general, the objects of the present invention are achieved by mounting within an elongated cylindrical housing, a head member which is mounted within the cylindrical housing for simultaneous, reciprocating and rotary movement. The power source for moving the 3,253,537 Patented May 31, 1966 "ice head member within the housing is supplied by a power cylinder which is'also mounted within the same housing. The working fluid for the power cylinder may be either gas or liquid. The head member includes a trash contacting radial face having an area which is substantially less than the cross-sectional area of the housing in which the head is reciprocated. This results in higher pressures being applied to the material being compacted and the combined reciprocating and rotary motion of the head is effective to complete the compaction process in a simple and economical way. That end of the housing which is remote from the power cylinder is closed by a removable closure member so that once a predetermined amount of trash has been compacted against the closure member, the closure is removed and a disposable container is inserted over the end of the housing. Then the head is again reciprocated toward the compacted trash and is effective to load it into the disposable container and further, to push the container off the end of the apparatus.
Referring now to the drawings, the cylindrical housing is shown at It and the removable closure at 12. As shown most clearly in FIGURES 1 and 2, the removable closure has a plurality of radially extending lugs 14 which engage in bayonet type slots 16 formed in the end of the housing 10. The opposite end of the housing 10 may be closed completely or it may simply have a spider member for supporting the power cylinder 16.
A reciprocating head member 20 which is basically cylindrical in shape and of a size to slidably fit with the cylindrical housing 10 is mounted on the end of a rod 22 which is connected to a piston within the power cylinder 18. As shown most clearly in FIGURE 3, that side of the head member 20 which will contact the material to be compacted is not simply a plain cylindrical surface. Rather, in order to provide a surface of substantially less area than the cross-sectional area of the housing 10, a pair of cross members 24 and 26 are mounted on the head member and the space between the cross members 24 and 26 is preferably filled out with a series of pyramidal surfaces 28 for adding support to the cross members 24 and 26 and further, to provide a desired form of compacting surface.
It has been found desirable to ensure that there is a positive rotation of the head 20 during its power or compacting stroke and for this purpose, it is proposed to utilize a pair of oppositely disposed helical members 30 and 32 mounted on the inner surface of the housing 10. Slots 34 and 36 are formed in the outer periphery of the head 20 to mate with the members 30 and 32 so that when the head is positively driven forward by the power cylinder 18, the head will be rotated as it contacts the material to be compacted. A corresponding rotation will also be present on the return stroke of the power cylinder 18.
- In order to load the housing 10 with material to be compacted, a door or trap member 38 is preferably provided in the upper surface of the housing 10 and positioned between the retracted position of the head 20 and the removable closure member 12.
The foregoing describes the basic portions of the trash compacting apparatus in accordance with the present invention. The controls for operating the power cylinder 18 may be entirely conventional, but should include a means for manually controlling the power and return stroke of the head 20 as well as means for automatically reciprocating the head member. Such controls are diagrammatically illustrated on the control box 40. It is contemplated that for the automatic reciprocation of the head 20 that limit switches 42 and 44 will be positioned to be contacted by the head at opposite ends of its stroke. Such limit switches are indicated schematically by the reference numerals 42 and 44.
The fluid conduits 46 and 48 lead to opposite ends of the power cylinder from an appropriate pump (not shown), and are also connected to the automatic control box 40.
In operation, therefore, the door 38 is opened and a load of uncompacted material deposited within the housing between the head and the removable closure member 12. The head is then reciprocated to compact the material within the housing and then additional material is inserted through the opening 38 and the head again reciprocated until a desired amount of compacted material is contained within the area of the housing 10 which adjoins the removable closure 12. At this point, the head is retracted to the position shown in FIGURE 1, the removable closure member 12 removed and a disposable container 46 is then placed over the opened end of the housing 10 as indicated in FIGURE 1. Using the manual control, the head 20 is then advanced toward the compacted material with the result that the material is pushed entirely out of the housing 10 and in so doing, it is transferred from the housing 10 to the container 50 and the latter is by virtue of the same movement of the head 20 removed from the casing 10. The apparatus is then empty and the removable closure 12 may be replaced and the operation repeated.
From the foregoing, it is submitted that those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that there is herein shown and disclosed a new and useful trash compacting apparatus which will have wide-spread application for the handling of trash and other materials. While a preferred embodiment has been herein shown and disclosed, applicants claim the benefit of a full range of equivalence within the scope of the appended claims.
