Definitions

  • This invention concerns bins for used paper products and general light waste, especially hand towels.
  • Paper towels are commonly used for drying hands, as wipes in kitchens, hospitals, trains, planes and many other places. Used wet towels are commonly disposed of in a bin placed close to the area where they are dispensed. In the bin they occupy a considerable volume in relation to their mass and the packing density is low because there is no convenient way of compressing them. They recover their shape as they dry out and soon fill the bin causing used towels to spill from the bin mouth.
  • Health regulations are strict concerning hygienic disposal of waste.
  • Business proprietors like the convenience of paper products but confining them until collection is possible can be a problem.
  • GB Patent 1343549 describes a compactor cabinet with a door. Two open trash bags stand inside, side by side, each with an overhead compactor. Twin rams descend and compress the trash in each bag. The bags are supported in U-shaped bag supports and after compaction the bags are exchanged so that essentially the bags must be brought to the cabinet for compaction.
  • GB Patent 2347919 describes a clip on compactor which can be taken to a bin and after the compaction operation, the compactor is removed and taken to another bin.
  • a mechanical pump action jack drives the waste to the bottom of the bin by reacting against the rim of the bin.
  • GB 1325659 combines a compactor with a pedal bin.
  • the bin has a down lid and an electric rotary compressor in the lid which inflates a bellows.
  • the bellows reacts against the lid and drives a platen downwards against the pile of trash in the bin.
  • the platen is mounted on four telescopic arms.
  • the apparatus aspect of the invention provides a compactor bin comprising a hollow body with an aperture through which waste is deposited and a compactor mounted inside the body which in use moves between a normal compacting position in which the aperture is closed preventing further deposits and tending to compact the waste and an intermittent raised position in which the aperture is open allowing deposits into the body space beneath the compactor and means to move the compactor between the said positions.
  • the upper part of the body may be separable from but supported on the lower part of the body.
  • the lower part may be free of internal obstruction enabling the lower part to take a liner which allows the compacted waste to be lifted out of the lower part conveniently without spillage.
  • the lower part may have supports such as hooks or clips which assist the retention of the bag.
  • the upper part may be a housing which is in effect an extension of the body.
  • the housing may accommodate the compactor at least which the compactor is in the RECEIVE mode.
  • the upper part may contain the compactor and the waste aperture.
  • the lower part may support the means to operate the compactor.
  • the means to operate the compactor may be outside the body space.
  • the compactor may be hollow and of quadrant section. Instead the compactor may be of substantially L-section with a metal billet fixed to the surface to give the necessary mass.
  • a smaller capacity version may be modified to more closely resemble a standard pedal bin while retaining the compactor action.
  • the lower body shell may have a front wall and a rear wall.
  • the lower body shell has a front wall and rear wall, a second aperture in the rear wall, the rear wall defining a second aperture, a compactor operating arm projecting through the second aperture, mounts extending from the rear wall adjacent the second aperture, compactor pivots located in the mounts supporting the compactor operating arm and at least one pedal actuated link reacting against the compactor operating arm whereby the upper and lower shells remain unconnected and separable and the compactor is movable manually to the intermittent position in order to empty the lower shell space.
  • the compactor may be substantially L-shaped in section, with a curved front wall which mimics the curvature of the housing and a base which projects into the mouth of the lower shell in order to keep the waste level below the main aperture when the bin is in CLOSED mode. As the waste pile grows in height, the compactor rests on the top of the pile, a band of contrasting surface markings gradually comes into view at the main aperture indicating the bin is full and ready for emptying.
  • the bin is capable of operating as a kitchen and/or general purpose pedal bin and this is the purpose of the modified version described above.
  • a second aspect of the invention provides a compactor assembly for installation with a portable bin comprising support means providing a pair of pivots for a tilting compactor, the support means defining a space beneath the pivots for a portable bin, pedal actuated means for tilting the compactor from a lowered position to a raised position, whereby repeated operation of the compactor impacts waste tipped into the bin, the compactor having an underneath face for contacting and impacting waste and an upstanding front face both acting as barriers to waste admission in the lowered position.
  • This version is intended for washrooms and toilets, for example in offices and hotels, where towel dispensers are installed on the wall. An alcove beneath the dispenser is closed by a panel containing a waste aperture and a door for bin exchange.
  • Figure 1 is a front view of the compactor bin.
  • Figure 2 is a side view showing the compactor raised to allow the disposal of a used towel and in its customary position closing the bin.
  • Figure 3 is an underneath perspective view of the bin top containing the compactor.
  • Figure 4 is a rear perspective of a smaller capacity, pedal bin variant.
  • Figure 5 is a side view of the variant of Figure 4.
  • Figure 6 is a front perspective of the variant of Figure 4.
  • Figure 7 is a diagrammatic perspective of the compactor assembly for a wall recess.
  • a moulded plastic bin 2 of 55L capacity is of rectangular section with normal injection moulding taper.
  • a polyethylene liner bag 4 lines the bin and overlaps the mouth of the bin.
  • the two sides 6 of the bin have integral hollow vertical guards 8, each with a cut away 10 in the area of the mouth of the bin.
  • the bin body has a pair of bores which support a pivot rod 12 which support a pair of levers 14.
  • the levers are joined by a pedal bar 16 at the front of the bin.
  • the unjoined end of each lever is pinned to a lifter rod 18.
  • Each lifter rod rises and falls inside the guards 8 under pedal motion.
  • the top of each rod mounts a concave cradle 20.
  • the cradle 20 exerts a centering action on the rise and fall of the rod 18.
  • the bin top 22 is of generally quadrant section with a rectangular stepped base 24 which overlaps the mouth of the bin.
  • the front curved wall of the top has a rectangular aperture 26 about 200 x 100mm.
  • the bin top has sidewalls 30, each of which has a bore to support the pins 32 of a compactor 34 which lies inside the bin top and tilts about the horizontal axis of the pins 32.
  • the compactor is of L-section with a convex front face which mimics the curvature of the bin top housing.
  • the underneath face has a pair of integral parallel flanges along the edges.
  • a flat steel bar is attached to the compactor. The ends of the bar are pushed between the underneath face and the flanges and slid toward or away from the axis of the pins to achieve the necessary moment about the tilt axis. This raises the mass to l-2kg.
  • the sidewalls 30 each have a curved slot 36 which allows a lug 38 extending from the compactor to reach the cradle 20. Covers 40 close to the guides 8 and hide the moving parts.
  • the rods raise the compactor which rises clear of the waste aperture giving access to the bin interior.
  • the compactor swings downwardly under its own weight and compresses the waste lying in the bin space 42. At first when the bin is empty, no compression occurs. As the bin fills, the waste is progressively compressed until the bin is packed full of compressed waste. At this stage a red line painted across the front of the compactor comes into view in the aperture indicating to the service personnel that the bin needs emptying.
  • the bin top is removed.
  • the liner full of waste is removed.
  • a fresh liner is inserted and the bin top is replaced so that the lugs again rest on the cradles.
  • the compactor assumes its normal position closing the aperture.
  • the top is secured to the bin by a lock.
  • the lift rods 18 are replaced by a single plastic tube which is secured to lever 14 by a pin and to an inverted channel section arm 44 extending from the compactor.
  • the plastic tube 18 is connected to the arm 44 by a further pin.
  • the tube rises and falls inside a housing 46 of tapering depth moulded in the rear wall 48 of the lower shell.
  • the compactor arm 44 is supported for pivotal movement on a rod 50 which spans the housing. In CLOSED mode the compactor rests on the housing 46.
  • the downward pressure on the pedal raises the compactor as in the previous embodiment and opens the main aperture to admit waste. Raising and dropping the compactor which weighs 50Og impacts the top of the waste pile which builds in the lower shell and flattens it.
  • the red paper sticker on the compactor appears, the upper shell is removed and placed on the floor.
  • the compactor is raised by hand or by pedal movement and the full liner is extracted. A fresh liner is inserted in the same way.
  • the compactor is hollow.
  • a washroom wall recess 60 houses a paper towel dispenser 62. Space 64 beneath the dispenser allows towels 66 to be withdrawn. The space beneath the dispenser is closed in by a stainless steel plate 68 provided with an aperture 70 and a door 72. A compactor assembly is accommodated in the space behind the plate 68. Sheet steel housing 74 has bores for supporting the pins 32 of compactor 34. A bin (not shown) underlies the compactor and is inserted and removed through door 72. The pedal activation of the compactor is the same as in Figure 1.
  • the upper part which closes the bin is separable from the lower bin part without disturbing the pedal linkage.
  • the lower bin part is free of obstruction and both insertion and removal of the liner is without hindrance.
  • the mouth of the lower bin part offers no obstruction to the overlap of the edge of the liner when the liner is fitted.
