Pat. No. 2,521,126; C. O. Bailar, U.S. Pat. No. 2,839,990; M. B. Seligman, U.S. Pat. No. 1,720,449;D. D. Price, U.S. Pat. No. 2,965,016; E. E. Elrod, U.S. Pat. No. 3,171,347; R. L. Binder, U.S. Pat. No. 1,254,878; A. Sherer, U.S. Pat. No. 2,636,432; and H. H. Burns, U.S. Pat. No. 1,250,558.
Current concern over the waste of natural resources has brought about an increased awareness of the amount of paper discarded which might profitably be reused. Out of some 50 million tons of paper produced in the United States each year less than million tons are being reclaimed for recycle. Practically no paper is reclaimed from municipal refuse even though approximately one half of such refuse consists of paper products.
It has been estimated that by doubling the amount of reused waste paper in the United States over million cords of wood or the annual growth of 15 million acres of land could be saved. Increasingly, paper manufacturers are developing the technology to enable them to produce 100 percent reprocessed paper at prices competitive with paper made from virgin fiber and of similar quality.
Because waste paper is an important resource and because, on the average, each person in the United States discards about 575 pounds of paper annually, a need exists for a convenient, low-cost, paper collection and bundling device whereby individuals may become personally involved in the solid waste recycling effort.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A principal object of the subject invention is to provide a household device which may conveniently be used for the collection, storage, and compacting of newspapers and magazines whereby the compacted papers may be more easily transported.
Another object of the invention is to provide a bin and paper compactor which is of simple construction and which may thereby be economical to manufacture.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a bin and paper compactor which is strong and structurally able to withstand the compressive forces used to bundle newspapers yet is light enough to be easily portable.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bin and paper compactor which will permit convenient bundling of paper into bales without removing said paper from the bin.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a bin and paper compactor which might easily be incor porated into a functional article of furniture such as a foot stool or end table and which might thereby serve two purposes.
The invention, accordingly, comprises the apparatus possessing the construction, combination of elements and arrangement of parts which are exemplified in the following detailed disclosure and the scope of which will be indicated in the foregoing claims.
Further features and objects of the invention will be apparent from an examination of the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a device embodying the invention partly broken away the better to show the construction thereof.
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the device of 'FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the device of FIG. 1 taken as of the line 33 in FIG. 2 to show compression being applied to a stack of newspapers or the like.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a portion of FIG. 2 taken as of the line 44 showing operational details of the compression bar retaining ratchet.
FIG. 5 is a side view of the wire winding tool utilized in this invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Having reference to the drawings in detail there is presented in FIG. 1 a perspective view of the invention showing a rectangular box of a size somewhat larger than a folded newspaper comprising a bin or body portion 10 and a cover portion 11 which may be manufactured from wood or metal or formed by molding a plastic composition. The body portion 10 comprises a base 12, two end walls 13, a front wall 14 and 'a rear wall 15. Cover portion 11 is attached by hinges 9 to rear wall 15. Disposed on the inner surface of rear wall 15 are two vertical ratchets 16 having a plurality of teeth 17 on one surface, said teeth slanted at an angle of approximately 45 toward base 12 and facing toward front wall 14 whereby compression lever 20 having a rear ratchet-engaging portion 21 may be engaged therein.
In the preferred embodiment front wall 14 is providedwith two vertical openings 30 whereby side members 23 of compression lever 20 can extend therethrough thereby enabling said compression lever 20 to operate downwardly to compact newspapers or the like and subsequently, when the bundle is tied, said compression lever 20 can be moved upwardly and thereupon be removed for storage.
Force may be applied to front pressing bar 22 by means of hand or foot pressure. Such pressure as may be required to compact paper or the like is greatly reduced by the utilization of the leverage of side members 23 by the extension of said members 23 through openings 30 in front wall 14 whereby the force applied to front pressing bar 22 is external to body portion 10 and the newspaper themselves, acting as a fulcrum, receive a downward force proportional to the applied force and depending upon the placement of rear ratchet-engaging member 21 below said fulcrum. It is not, however, required that force be applied to compression lever 20 external to body portion 10. It is essential only that compression lever 20 be retained in the compressed state by means of vertical retaining ratchets 25.
A compression lever may, therefore, be used in the subject invention which extends only the width of base 12 and whereupon force is applied at a point within the confines of body portion 10. In such an embodiment vertical openings 30 would not be required. Compression lever 20 is a portable and separate entity which may be foldably or telescopically extendable or may be of unitary construction and thereby be conveniently and easily removed for storage when not in use.
Vertical retaining ratchets are mounted on pivots 26 on the inner surface of front wall 14 between vertical openings 30. Said retaining ratchets 25 have a plurality of teeth 27 on one surface thereof with said teeth slanted at an angle of approximately 45 toward base 12 and with one of each of said retaining ratchets 25 facing toward each end of wall 13.
A spring 28 on the portion of retaining ratchets 25 closest to base 12 provides tension whereby said retaining ratchets will respond to downward pressure by pivoting inwardly toward each other on pivots 26. Pin stops 29 prevent outward rotation of retaining ratchets 25 about pivots 26 and thereby operate to maintain retaining ratchets 25 in a vertical position whereby compression lever 20 can move freely in a downward direction but will remain in the compressed or locked position until released.
Two vertical grooved channels 40 are disposed adjacent and parallel to vertical ratchets 16 along rear wall 15 and continue transversly in .a semicircular path.
' across base 12 and vertically up front wall 14 equidisas rubber, plastic or Tygon and are of a size which will serve to receive and guide twine, wire or other binding material used to tie the compressed bundle of paper.
Two solid hemispherical members made of wood, metal or molded plastic are provided between front wall 14 and rear wall 15 and across base 12 for directional support of grooved channels 40.
In use, newspapers or the like are allowed to accumulate in the bin or body portion of the device until it is desired to tie or bind the accumulated papers into a bundle. Rear ratchet-engaging member 21 of compression lever 20 is engaged within the lowest notch of vertical ratchet 16 which may be conveniently reached consistent with the height of the accumulated papers. The stack of paper is then readily compressed by pressing downward upon front pressing bar 22 with the hand or foot until no further compression occurs. At this point vertical retaining ratchets 25 will automatically retain compression lever 20 leaving the hands free to tie the compressed bundle. Twine, wire or other binding material can be easily slipped through smooth grooved channels 40, or having previously been placed in said channel, is thereupon securely fastened around the bundle.
A means for securing the ends of a strand of wire is shown in FIG. 5 and consists of a peg or rod 50 having a first opening 52 drilled from the base of rod 50 at a 45 angle completely through rod 50 and a second opening 54 drilled from the base of rod 50 at a point approximately opposite opening 52 and at a 45 angle completely through rod 50 but not intersecting the passage of opening 52.
A handle 56 is attached at the end of rod 50 opposite the end of said rod 50 wherein openings 52 and 54 are located. Handle 56 serves to rotate rod 50 in a horizontal plane as shown by the arrow in FIG. 5. Thus, when the two ends of a wire 58 used in binding the bundle of newspapers are inserted into the passages of openings 52 and 54, rod 50 is rotated by means of handle 56 until no slack remains in wire 58 thereby securely binding said newspapers. Rod 50 is then disengaged from wire 58. Compression lever 20 is released by pressing release handles 32 together whereupon the tied bundle can be removed from the bin and thereupon be easily and conveniently transported to a storage or recycle center.
The device embodied by the foregoing description can be moved from place to place by handholds 60 consisting of openings of a size to permit the entrance of the fingers of each hand into end walls 13.
A preferred embodiment of this invention has been set forth in the description and drawings. These descriptions are used in the generic sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Various changes may therefore be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
