Definitions

• the invention relates to a waste collection container and an insert for a waste collection container.
• the waste collection container has an insert against the wall for reducing the absorption volume.
• the interior volume of the refuse collection container can be adapted by individual displacement of the height of the bottom of the refuse collection container by appropriate shaping of the insert.
• the insert can be a hollow body, preferably made of plastic, the outer contour of which is adapted to the inner contour of the waste collecting container.
• the insert can rest on the bottom of the waste collecting container and, if necessary, be secured with a snap element engaging in a recess in the bottom against unintentional falling out when the waste collecting container tilts.
• the insert can also be trough-shaped, the walls of which are chamfered in such a way that the insert is securely clamped at the desired height of the waste collection container. The insert is guaranteed to fall out by corresponding frictional engagement.
• the insert can also consist of a closure plate which extends over the light width of the interior of the container and can engage in a corresponding snap groove provided in the wall of the waste container or behind a projection. So that not all forces have to be absorbed by the groove, this closure plate is rigidly connected to a support plate, which rests directly on the container bottom, via roller-like connecting elements.
• FIG. 1 a partially broken perspective view of the lower part of a waste collection container according to the invention with the insert removed;
• FIG. 2 shows a detail of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1 in the assembled state
• FIG. 7 a side view of a waste container according to the invention using an insert according to an embodiment according to FIG. 1, which is slightly modified and
• FIG. 8 shows a partial sectional illustration of a further embodiment of the present invention, the insert being removed and shown separately.
• the waste collection container shown in Figure 1 has wheels 24 which are located in retracted wheel wells 26 for better stackability of the waste collection container.
• the insert 14 shown in FIG. 1 is used in the bottom area of the waste collecting container 10.
• the insert 14 consists of a plastic hollow body which is adapted in its outer contours to the corresponding inner contour of the lower region of the waste collecting container 10. So he instructs Ausappelun s / s 28 corresponding to recoveries 26th
• the insert part 14 is essentially supported on the bottom 16 of the waste collecting container 10.
• a snap element 20 is formed on the bottom of the insert 14 and has a corresponding recess 18 in the Bottom 16 of the waste collection container 10 passes through ( Figure 2).
• the snap element 20 can, as shown here, consist of a molded shaft 5 with a thickened end part, which has a longitudinal slot. Resilient legs of the snap element 20 arise through this slot, so that after the shaft is pushed into the opening 18, the snap element engages behind the edge of the opening 18.
• a trough-shaped insert 14, as shown in FIG. 3 can alternatively also be used to reduce the volume of the waste collection container 10.
• the walls 22 of this trough-shaped container 14 are adapted to the respective inner contour of the waste collection container. The choice of the outer contour of the walls 22 thus determines the height of the waste collecting container 10 at which the insert 14 can be firmly clamped.
• An installation example is shown in Figure 6.
• the embodiment of Figure 4 shows an insert 14 which rests essentially on the retracted wheel arches 26 of the waste collection container.
• the waste collection container has wheels 24, but these are mounted on the outside of the waste collection container 10, so that there are no inwardly projecting wheel housings in this embodiment.
• the insert 14 is accordingly made simpler in this case.
• the insert 14 is designed in such a way that it not only has recesses 28 in the area of the retracted wheel arches 26, but also a correspondingly continuously shaped channel.
• FIG. 1 An alternative embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG.
• the waste collection container 10 has a circumferential groove 36 on the inside of its wall 12. On the edges of the The wall 36 is slightly thickened, the flanks of these thickenings running obliquely and thus forming a continuous transition to the wall 12.
• An insert 14 can be inserted into this groove 36, which consists of a closure plate 30, which is connected to a support plate 34 via a columnar connecting element 32.
• the support plate 34 lies in the assembled state on the bottom 16 of the waste collecting container 10. As a result, loads lying on the closure plate 30 are transmitted to the floor 16.
• the edge region of the closure plate 30 lies all around in the groove 36.
• a plurality of groove regions in sections can take the place of a completely circumferential groove 36.
• a corresponding projection which is formed by a corresponding slope, can be provided, behind which the edge region of the plate snaps.
• the invention makes it possible, for example, for the case that the waste collection container is used to collect very light waste, for example polystyrene, foam or the like, to fill sand in or under the insert, for example, to increase stability.
• very light waste for example polystyrene, foam or the like
• the container can also be picked up more easily by a pick-up claw, since this reduces the risk of unintentional knocking over.
• an otherwise conventional waste collection container can be converted more easily to a collection container system which has a receiving pocket.
