Definitions
- the invention relates to an improved apparatus for garbage collection, more specifically for the odour-free disposal of domestic garbage, garden garbage and such.
- this invention relates to an apparatus for odourless garbage collection, comprising means for de-odourizing and/or a deodorant, for the purpose of neutralising bad- smelling fumes originating from the garbage, directly or indirectly via chemical and/or biological processes.
- garbage or waste such as domestic garbage, garden garbage and the like are disposed of in plastic garbage bags, put at the disposal of community members by the council for instance. Once you bring into use such a plastic bag, it is handy to hang it in an apparatus comprising a body frame and a cover, or in a closed container. If a bag partly filled with garbage is left like that for a certain time, the bad smell increases rapidly, especially when opening the lid. One is then tempted to throw away a halfly filled bag.
- a great disadvantage of such an apparatus is the difficulty to produce it in one piece, thus resulting in either a complex expensive manufacturing process or a work-intensive and costly assembly of the different pieces after the actual manufacturing.
- Another disadvantage is that the space between the two sides is so narrow and profound that it cannot be cleaned effectively if garbage is dropped in it by accident.
- the present invention is an improved apparatus for garbage collection whereby it is simple to manufacture said apparatus and whereby the space that holds the fluid can be filled and cleaned easily.
- US 1 ,490,314 and US 2,425,612 use a disinfectant or a deodorant for solving the odour- problem.
- a disadvantage is however that the odour-reduction is limited.
- the present invention has a greater odour-reduction due to its active de-odourising elements.
- the improved apparatus for garbage collection mainly comprises a container for temporary storage of substances, e.g. garbage, comprising a supporting body and a corresponding lid, said container further comprises means for housing a mixture of bacteria.
- the mixture of bacteria comprises Clostridium, Lactobacillus and Entero- bacteria. This mixture results in a very efficient de-odourisation of garbage, in particular organic waste.
- the reservoir is ring-shaped and detachable from the container, comprising a collar that can be hooked at the top of the container.
- the apparatus comprises an extra reservoir for fluids situated at the bottom of the container.
- the ring-shaped reservoir can be made in parts, namely it can exist of several reservoirs with air passages in between that allow circulation of condensation.
- watertight passageways could be made in the ring-shaped reservoir, e.g. tubes mounted at the bottom of the ring-shaped reservoir that reach just above the level of fluid.
- the reservoir is made detachable comprising a pumping means for dispersing the fluids directly onto the content of the container.
- the inner edge of the reservoir is provided with an edge with a groove, with which a binding agent, elastic or not, can be combined, so that the upper part of the garbage bag can be housed between said edge and said binding agent.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a longer duration of odour-free housing of the garbage in the container, which results in a compactation, allowing more waste (kg) to be contained in the same container volume.
- Figure 1 is a vertical cross-section of an apparatus according to the invention.
- Figure 2 represents part F2 of Figure 1 on a larger scale.
- Figure 3 is a cross-section following line Ill-Ill of Figure 1 .
- Figure 4 shows a cross-section similar to that of Figure 1 for a variant.
- Figure 5 is a cross-section following line V-V of Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a cross-section following line VI-VI of Figure 4.
- Figure 7 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a detachable reservoir.
- Figure 8 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a grid for a detachable reservoir of Figure 7.
- Figure 9 is a planview of a grid-structured handle for the grid of Figure 8.
- a first embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention comprises, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, a reservoir 1 with a side 2 and a bottom plate 3.
- the container 1 can be closed off by a lid 4, comprising a surrounding edge 5 for the purpose of well closing off the container 1.
- the container 1 also comprises a handgrip 6 for opening and closing the lid 4.
- Figures 2 and 3 show the container 1 comprising a ring-shaped reservoir 7 for fluid 8, said reservoir 7 extends over an angle of 360° and consists in this embodiment of an outer side 9 and an inner side 10, connected in this case to an inward running bottom 11.
- the outer side 9 of the reservoir 7 comprises on nearly its entire outer side 12 a U-shaped collar 13, which is interrupted only by a hinge 14, by which the said lid 4 is connected to the reservoir 7, said U-shaped collar 13 is made so that it fits exactly on the upper edge 15 of the side 2 of the container 1.
- the inner side 10 of the reservoir 7 comprises at its top edge 16 a surrounding groove 17 which can be combined with a binding agent 18, elastic or not, e.g. a cord, a ribbon, a rubber band or similar.
- the upper side of reservoir 7 is preferentially covered by a ring-shaped grid 19, a gauze or similar.
- the ring-shaped reservoir 7 can be made so that it extends over an angle of less than 360°.
- FIGS 4, 5 and 6 illustrate a second embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention.
- This embodiment also comprises a container 1 , similar to that of the first embodiment, but it now comprises an extra reservoir 20 situated at the bottom 11 of the container 1.
- the reservoir 20 comprises a ring-shaped collar 21 at the inner side of the container 1 , whereby on top of said collar 21 there is a grid 22, a gauze or similar, for the purpose of appropriately covering the extra reservoir 20.
- collar 21 comprises an edge 23.
- the ring-shaped reservoir 7 is made by a few, in this case four, reservoirs 25, where in between there are airholes 26. They act as condensation pass throughs.
- the reservoirs 25 and the airholes 26 are covered in between by the ring-shaped grid 19, gauze or similar, so that the garbage can not drop in the reservoirs 25, nor between the garbage bag 24 and the side 2 of the container 1.
- the fluid 8 remains in permanent contact with the odours created in the garbage bag, but said grids also prevent garbage falling in said reservoirs 7, respectively 25 and 20.
- watertight passthroughs can be made in the ring-shaped reservoir 7, e.g. tubes fixed in bottom 11 that reach above fluid level, said tubes making air passages, by which the garbage bag 24 fumes and the fluids 8 with de-odourising under the garbage bag 24 make contact.
- an extra reservoir as shown in Figures 7, 8 and 9 can be added to a container.
- This embodiment allows a mixture of bacteria to be dispersed directly onto the garbage. This improves the de-odourising effect.
- Figure 7 shows the extra reservoir 29 that is fixed to the upper side of the container by means of the holding elements 31.
- Figure 8 shows a grid 34 that covers reservoir 29. Segment 33 of the grid 34 fits into segment 32 of the reservoir 29.
- Grid 34 has an upstanding border 35 that fits into segment 30 of reservoir 29.
- Grid 34 further comprises an opening 36 for a handle, an opening 37 for pumping means and a holder 38 for a deodorant.
- Figure 9 shows a grid-structured handle means 39.
- the grid-structured handle 39 comprises a handle 40 of which the ends are fixed into the holes 41 and further comprises an opening 42 for pumping means.
- the grid-structured handle 39 is first put on top of reservoir 29 whereafter grid 34 is placed onto the handle.
- the grid-structured handle 39 thus enables safe lifting of grid 34.
- the grid-structure of grid 34 and that of the grid-structured handle 39 is identical.
- Reservoir 7 respectively reservoirs 25 and the extra reservoir 20, will be filled with a suitable fluid 8, e.g. water comprising a means for neutralising odours.
- Said means will preferentially comprise a known de-odouriser possibly also a deodorant is added.
- said means will comprise a mixture of bacteria having de-odourising means, and said means will also comprise a deodorant.
- the bacteria take care of neutralising the obnoxious fumes, while the deodorant will spread a nice smell.
- the surrounding temperature reaches above 25°C, the effect of the deodorant diminishes, while the bacteria are growing best en bring about the desired de-odourising effect.
- the mixture of bacteria preferentially comprises Clostridium, Lactobacillus and Entero- bacteria.
- the bacteria have been mutated to live long and to produce enzymes during splitting that neutralise odour-components.
- Said mixture of bacteria comprises non-pathogene bacteria that are as well aerobe, as anaerobe as optionally aerobe and anaerobe.
- a special feed supply is used comprising mainly proteins diluted with sugars and carbohydrates.
- Said mixture of bacteria has the capacity to break down and neutralise smelling components and odours, also pig manure, smelling and polluted waters like ponds and streams. Said mixture of bacteria is resistant against relatively high temperatures.
- a garbage bag 24 or similar, e.g. known for garbage collection, is put in, whereby to keep the garbage bag 24 in place, the free end of the garbage bag 24 is placed over the groove 17, whereafter a suited, elastic or not, binding agent 18 is fixed over the free end of the garbage bag 24 and the groove 17, thus clasping the garbage bag 24 between the inner side 10 of the reservoir 7, respectively reservoirs 25, and the binding agent 18.
- the ring-shaped grid 19 prevents the spilling of garbage in the reservoir 7, respectively the reservoirs 25 or in between the garbage bag 24 and the inner side 2 of the container 1.
- the grid 22 supports the garbage bag 24 and prevents said garbage bag 24 of hanging in the fluids 8 of the extra reservoir 20 with its bottom side 28.
- An additional advantage of an apparatus according to the invention is that, if by accident garbage is spilled nevertheless through the grid 19 in the reservoir 7, respectively the reservoirs 25, said reservoirs can easily be cleaned. If the reservoir 7 or the reservoirs 25 is/are fixed permanently to the side 2 of the container
- reservoir 7 is not fixed permanently to the side 2 of the container 1 , but is hooked over the upper side 15 of the container 1 by means of a collar 13, then reservoir 7 can simply be removed from the container 1 for cleaning and put back afterwards.
- An additional advantage of the apparatus according to the invention is the fact that because reservoir 7, respectively reservoirs 25, contain so little fluid 8, the weight of the apparatus is limited to a minimum, thus enabling that said apparatus can be moved around easily.
- Yet another advantage of the second embodiment, as described in Figures 4, 5 and 6, is that the presence of the extra reservoir 20 improves the entire stability of the apparatus, because the centre of gravity is lower.
- Said apparatus can be used in all possibles places, inside or outside the house, bad smells are eliminated completely, the apparatus can very easily be cleaned, is lightweight and has a good stability. It is self evident that neither the container, nor the reservoirs need to be circle-shaped, but that they can be of any shape, be it e.g. square, hexagonal or any other geometrical or non- geometrical shape.
