Description

CONTAINERS, ESPECIALLY ABSORPTION CONTAINERS, ULF VESSELS OR RUNNING CONTAINERS

description

The invention relates to a container and method for receiving waste or bulk materials, in particular settling containers, rolling containers or Umleerbehälter.

Containers for collecting waste are usually made of metal or plastic and are e.g. for household waste, recycling material collection and industrial waste as well as rubble application. Well-known types of containers are settling containers, which are often used in clearing out or for building rubble, or disposal containers for the continuous disposal of waste and valuable materials.

In order to protect the container contents, in particular from rain, such containers usually have one or more lids or the like on the top of the container, which can be opened or opened upwards. Such lids are also usually made of metal and therefore very heavy. Therefore, such containers are usually equipped with a spring relief, which generates a torque for opening the lid. In the open position, the spring relief is relaxed and tensioned in the closed position, ie with the lid closed. Therefore, the lids for closing the container are usually locked in the closed position.

FIG. 6 shows a standard spring relief device with a round tube as housing in the pivot axis of the cover. The tube contains a rectangular torsion bar spring. The torsion bar is in the middle of the tube with the tube and on both outer sides firmly connected to the container. The tube is in turn welded to the lid.

If the cover is moved manually or by gravity towards the closed position, the torsion bar spring stretches in the tube and counteracts the closing movement.

A common defect is damage to the steel cover. When repairing the steel lid is usually replaced by a plastic lid A plastic lid can be made cheaper with less effort is more flexible and This is not so easy to demolish and can also be easily mounted by the lower weight. The spring relief is then riveted to the cover with the round tube, screwed or otherwise connected. However, the plastic often rips on the rivets or screws. The same problem also occurs in new containers with Kunststoffde- disgust, in which the same spring relief is installed with round tube.

Currently available on the market alternative solutions to a spring discharge or rear part means for facilitating opening a container lid, for example, based on a coil spring _"which is arranged parallel to the pivot axis of the lid and in which a

End has a long, straight spring arm, which is mounted on the lower side of the lid. However, such a back device is very complex in construction, expensive and expensive to install. In addition, the otherwise flexible and adaptable plastic lid is stiffened on one side by the long, metallic spring arm and it can come in operation to a plastic deformation as a steel lid, whereby the advantage of the flexibility of a pure plastic lid is taken. For the maintenance, repair and restoration of containers or container lids there is also the problem _» that the container widths are not standardized and thus spring reliefs or rear part facilities for all container widths must be produced and kept.

The abovementioned features known from the prior art can be combined individually or in any desired combination with one of the objects according to the invention described below.

It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a container with a further developed restoring device for solving the problems described above and a simplified assembly method. The object is achieved by a container having the features of the main and secondary claim and mithitfe the method according to the independent claims. Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims.

To solve the problem, a container for receiving waste or bulk materials, in particular settling, Abrollcontainer or Umleerbehilter, with a lid for opening and closing the container and a restoring device for a self-serve permanent opening of the lid, comprising a housing and a return means, in particular spring, preferably torsion bar spring, wherein the housing can be positively connected to the lid.

Self-contained opening essentially means the function of a conventional spring relief explained in the introduction to a simplified opening of the lid of a container.

In particular, a form-locking connection between the housing and the cover means a connection in which a certain shape, e.g. Rectangular shape, oblong shape, ellipse, oval, spline profile, polygon profile, serration, or additional entrainment elements, e.g. Feather, a power transmission or torque transmission can be achieved. The positive connection between the housing and cover is basically such that alone by the immediate (without driver) or indirect (with driver) positive connection torque of the return device for an independent opening of the lid can be transferred to the lid.

An independent opening of the lid can be achieved by providing the positive connection of the housing according to the invention with the lid thus without additional compound or compound methods such as rivets, screws or welding in metal lid. The number of parts and especially the effort during assembly can be significantly reduced. In addition, no steel is mounted under the lid. Thus, unlike a solution with a coil spring, the flexibility of the lid, in particular plastic lid, is maintained.

The planar force transmission obtained with the positive connection also ensures particularly high resistance to wear and longevity, especially with plastic lids.

Frequently, the installation is carried out as part of the maintenance or repair by the customer himself, who generally has less experience. Due to the particularly simple assembly, assembly errors can now be reduced by the customer and premature damage due to incorrect installation can be avoided. The positive connection also allows a non-destructive in terms of the lid replacement of the rear part. Thus, if only the return device damaged, it is sufficient only the replacement of the return device and the lid can be used. This also saves costs and effort. The above benefits extend to metal lids like plastic lids alike. In the case of plastic lids, it is even more advantageous that, in contrast to other special constructions available on the market, the flexibility remains unrestricted.

Typically, the lid has a shape complementary to the housing. Preferably, such an opening in the housing extends only over one or more subregions over the entire width of the lid, in order to save material and to keep production costs low. An opening over the entire lid width is still possible.

Preferably, in the housing relative to a pivot axis or axis of rotation of the lid a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour is provided in cross-section, in particular a rectangular profile.

By providing a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour, the positive connection according to the invention can be produced in a particularly simple manner. A rectangular profile can be produced with very little effort.

Experiments have shown that due to the deformability of the plastic material some outer contours are particularly well suited for reliable torque transmission.

In a further development, therefore, a rectangular profile is used, which provides a ratio of the width to the height in cross section of at least 1.2, preferably 1, 3, particularly preferably 1, 4. For example, the rectangular profile can be designed with the dimensions 70 mm x 50 mm (width x height). In one embodiment, a plug for closing an opening of the housing or a housing part is provided, wherein the plug has a passage for receiving an outer pin. The plug ensures that the return means remains aligned in the particular non-rotationally symmetrical housing in the pivot axis and remains connected reliably and captively coupled in rotation with the outer pin. In addition, the plug forms, so to speak, the pivot bearing for the outer pin when opening and closing the lid, Finally, the plug protects the housing interior from environmental influences such as rainwater.

In particular, the plug has a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour, preferably rectangular. This achieves a particularly precise, reliable and robust alignment of the outer journal with the housing. Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for installing a Rückstelleinrich- device to a container for receiving waste or bulk goods in particular according to the above description, preferably settling or Umleerbehälter, with a lid for opening and closing the container, the back part means for a independent opening of the cover comprises a housing and a return means, in particular spring, preferably torsion bar spring, and the method provides at least the following steps:

- The housing is pushed with mounted plug in an opening of the lid,

- The housing connected to the lid is positioned between two suspensions on the container, in particular tabs, - on at least one side an outer pin is inserted through one of the suspensions on the container in a passage of the plug, such that the outer pin with the

Return means is rotatably coupled.

In particular, then the restoring device is tensioned by turning the outer pin with held in position cover or held the lid in an open position.

Finally, preferably the outer pin with the suspension on the container fixed hundred, in particular by means of screwing. This method allows a particularly simple installation of the restoring device, which can be carried out by inexperienced end customers in self-executed maintenance measures without high error rates. Additional steps such as riveting, screwing or welding can be omitted. It is a further object of the invention to provide a further developed container as well as a simplified mounting system.

The object is achieved by a container according to the main claim and additional claim and the method according to the independent claims.

To solve the problem, a container for receiving waste or bulk goods, in particular settling or Umleerbehälter, with a lid for opening and closing the container and a lid suspension device, in particular Rück- stelieinrichtung for autonomous opening of the lid with a return means, in particular Spring, preferably torsion bar spring, comprising a housing, wherein the housing can be positively connected to the lid. This aspect of the invention, that is, a container with lid suspension device, may be combined with the features of the other aspects of the invention described above to form further advantageous embodiments encompassed by the invention.

For example, according to such an advantageous embodiment, the lid suspension device is a restoring device for an independent opening of the cover, comprising a housing and a return means, in particular a spring, preferably a torsion bar spring.

The container with lid suspension device according to the just described aspect of the invention may, however, be freely combined with the additional features of the embodiments explained in connection with the above-described other aspects of the invention and thus form further embodiments encompassed by the invention.

An example of a further embodiment formed in such a way is a container with lid suspension device, wherein the housing relative to a pivot axis the cover provides a non-rotationally symmetrical outer contour in cross-section, in particular a rectangular profile,

Incidentally, the following developments of a container with lid suspension device are mentioned: In particular, a plug for closing an opening of the housing is provided, wherein the plug has a passage.

A sealing of the housing and a simple realization of a pivot bearing can be made possible.

In particular, an outer pin connected to the container can be arranged in the passage of the plug so that the outer pin and the plug form a pivot bearing for the lid suspension device.

A container with a particularly reliable and easily manufacturable pivot bearing can be provided.

With positively connected is meant in particular rotationally positively connected. A positive connection between the housing and the lid basically designates a connection in which a certain shape, e.g. Rectangular shape, oblong shape, ellipse, oval, spline profile, polygonal profile, serration, or additional entrainment elements, e.g. Feather, a power transmission or torque transmission can be achieved. The positive connection between the housing and the cover is basically such that a torque can be transferred from the housing of the cover suspension device to the cover solely by the direct (without driver element) positive connection.

In particular, the housing with a - preferably along a pivot axis of the lid extending - lateral surface of the housing can be made form-fitting connectable to the lid. A particularly high mechanical robustness and homogeneous, uniform power transmission over the length of the lid suspension can be achieved. In contrast to this, a form-fitting connection at the side edges transversely to the pivot axis would generally have a comparatively low robustness. In an advantageous embodiment, the lid suspension device has a locking device for determining the current pivot position of the lid.

Current pivot position means the currently occupied position of the lid between open position and closed position.

As a result of the fact that the operator can determine the cover in the current pivoting position, easy and comfortable operability can also be achieved without a return device or spring relief, and thus a container with particularly low production costs and costs can be provided. Especially with light lids made of plastic or aluminum, a restoring device can be saved.

Even with containers with restoring device as a lid suspension device, the determination of the current pivot position helps to enable an optimal for the filling or emptying of the container pivotal position of the lid. A higher efficiency in the

Use of the container can be achieved.

In particular, a determination of the pivot position is provided only at a limited number of locking positions, at least 3, preferably greater than 3, preferably greater than 10, more preferably greater than 20. In particular, the locking positions at equal distances from each other.

A lock position is a swing position that allows a lock.

By a limited number of locking positions a determination of the pivot position can be realized particularly easily and with very low production costs. In particular, a disc with radial recesses, preferably a gear-shaped disc or a toothed wheel, is provided for determining a pivoting position of the cover. In particular, the disc is a gear with sawtooth teeth. The area between the teeth then forms as it were the above-mentioned recesses of the disc.

As a result, a determination can be made possible in a particularly simple manner and with low production costs.

In particular, the disc is disposed between the housing and a tab of the container, wherein the disc is preferably rotatably connected to the housing.

This can damage the locking device and a risk of injury can be reduced. In particular, a determination of the pivoting position of the lid can be carried out in a pivoting movement in only one direction, preferably in the direction of open position.

This also makes it possible to detect in a particularly simple manner and with low production costs. In particular, the locking device comprises a locking means, preferably locking lever. Preferably, a Feststellhebelachse is arranged, preferably parallel to the pivot axis of the lid, that one edge of the Feststellmiteis can be rotated in a recess of the disc, that the disc against the particular direction can not be rotated, so it is established. Thus, a determination of the pivot position can be realized particularly simple and with very low production costs.

In particular, the locking lever has a sickle shape, wherein the edge of the fixing means is preferably arranged at the pointed or curved end of the sickle shape. Particularly preferably, the edge forms an acute angle. As a result, a particularly reliable and low-wear detection is possible. In particular, the locking device comprises an energy storage, preferably locking spring, for a continuous pressing or pulling the locking means against the

Disc.

The energy storage enables automatic and reliable detection. In particular, the locking means has a projection, preferably on the other

Side of the edge. Basically, then the locking lever axis between the projection and the edge.

A particularly simple release of the determination can be made possible.

In particular, the locking device on a release lever for releasing a determination, wherein the release lever is preferably designed for a levering of the locking means from engagement with the recesses of the disc.

By a release lever, the ease of use can be increased.

Another aspect of the invention relates to a container for receiving waste or bulk materials, in particular settling or Umleerbehälter, with a lid for opening and closing the container and a lid suspension device, in particular restoring device for an independent opening of the lid with a return means, in particular spring preferred A torsion bar spring comprising a housing, wherein on the housing of the lid suspension device, a control lever for rotating the housing is mounted. In particular, the housing (4) by the operating lever (18) about a pivot axis (5) of the lid (2) are rotated, in particular the housing (4) and the lid (2) rotatably connected to the pivot axis (5) or are connected.

An operating lever allows a particularly simple and comfortable swinging of the lid, especially with less rigid lids of eg plastic, which can deform and fluctuate elastically upon manual actuation on the lid itself. An operating lever can thus also counteract unwanted deformations of the lid, which otherwise arise over a prolonged period of use. In addition, can be kept or changed by a control lever on the housing a current pivot position of the lid particularly convenient and targeted for a short-term opening, loading or unloading. Especially upon actuation of a release lever for releasing the cover from a detected pivotal position, the control lever allows comfortable and secure retention of the cover position during actuation of the release lever, whereby an abrupt and dangerous closing of the cover can be counteracted. In particular, a latching device for holding the operating lever in the closed position of the lid is provided, preferably by means of a releasable latching connection.

In this way, the lid can be kept closed in a particularly simple and comfortable way to avoid unwanted opening.

A further advantage comes in particular in one embodiment of the container for wearing, in which the lid suspension device is a back part device. Because then acts in the closed position of the lid continuously a torque for pivoting in the open-slope direction on the associated with the housing portion of the lid, while the lid by about a aufwand ig to be activated and relatively uncomfortable locking means usually on the opposite side is held close to the container edge of the container in the closed position. Especially with less stiff lids made of thin sheet or plastic then ensures the applied torque for deformation or bulging of the lid. High outside temperatures and direct sunlight intensify the effect described above, especially with plastic lids. By the operating lever, which is preferably held in the closed position by means of a releasable latching connection, there is a recording of the torque of the return means by the latching connection or the latching device. It thus attacks no torque on the lid. Deformation can thus be avoided particularly easily and effectively. For a closed-hold the lid activation of a possibly additionally present locking means, so locking by means of the locking means, no longer required.

In particular, the latching device has a hook shape, wherein preferably a U-shaped or V-shaped region of the latching device is provided for latching and holding the operating lever. In particular, the latching device is aligned so that the base of the U-shaped or V-shaped portion is attached to a chain. The chain is attached by screwing or welding to the upper edge profile of the container. The hook is flexible due to the chain insert and therefore can not be damaged so quickly. Preferably, the stop of the operating lever against the stop surface for a locking of the operating lever from the inside of the container to the outside.

A particularly simple control of the operating lever in the locking position can be made possible above all by the aforementioned three embodiments.

In particular, when the lid suspension device is not a rear-end device, as a spring-back force for engaging and holding the operating lever in the latching device (instead of the restoring force of the return means of the return device), the resilient force of the lid can be utilized in elastic deformation. That the operating lever and the lid are then such that the operating lever can be manually pressed onto the lid in the closed position in such a way that a spring-back force for locking and holding the operating lever in the latching device can be effected.

In particular, the length of the control lever corresponds to 0.2 to 1 times the length of the cover (transverse to the pivot axis), preferably 0.3 to 0.8 times, most preferably 0.4 to 0.6 times the lid length. Due to the specified length proportions of the operating lever a particularly good usability and low risk of injury is possible.

In particular, the operating lever is designed as a metal rod or rectangular profile, wherein preferably a minimum thickness of 3 mm, preferably 4 mm, particularly preferably 5 mm, is not exceeded. The operating lever can thus be provided particularly low production costs.

In particular, the operating lever has a step shape. In this way, the operating lever can be particularly easily attached to a convenient location on the housing and at the same time an attack point for the user are provided close to the easily accessible container edge. By favorable location is meant a location on the housing which provides sufficient space for attaching the operating lever and reduces the risk of damage to nearby parts, such as outer pegs or discs with recesses.

In particular, the operating lever is connected to the housing by means of welding or screwing.

This allows a particularly fast and cost-effective installation. In particular, the operating lever is not connected to the lid and / or attached next to the lid.

As a result, parts and effort for the production could be saved and at the same time an easier replacement of a lid can be made possible.

In addition, with plastic lids the olle flexibility of the material is maintained because the operating lever is not connected to the plastic and thus does not limit the flexibility of the actual lid.

In particular, the container may be a settling container, dumping container or abrolic container.

All mentioned in the description of the figures, in the claims and the introduction of the description can be used both individually and in any combination. The disclosure of the invention is therefore not limited to the described or claimed feature combinations. Rather, all feature combinations are to be regarded as disclosed.

In the following advantageous embodiment will be explained with reference to Figures 1 to 19. Show it:

Figure 19: Chain 1 shows a rear part 3 of a container, in particular Absetzcontainerers, which allows an independent opening of the lid 2 and a housing 4, a torsion spring 42 as return means, a plug 10 and an outer pin 12 includes. The return device 3 is suspended via two tabs 11 to the container 1 and the lid 2 on the container 1 and firmly connected thereto. The housing 4 is which is positively pushed into a corresponding opening of the cover 2 is a rectangular tube. _" As a rule, the cover 2 has a plurality of projections spaced apart along the pivot axis 5 and having openings which are adapted to the rectangular shape of the housing tube of the rear part device 3 and into which the rectangular tube of the return device can be inserted in order to abut rotationally positively.

In a Absetzcontainer with a width of about 1, 70 m and the length of the housing 4 is about 1, 70 m. The rectangular profile of the housing 4 may then have a height of about 40 mm and a width of about 70 mm in cross-section in order to reliably transmit torque even with a plastic cover can. With such return devices, spring steels with cross-sectional dimensions of approx. 30 mm x 8 mm can be advantageously used. The opening diameter of stopper 10 and tab 11 and the diameter of pin 15 of outer pin 12 are also in the range of approximately 30 mm.

To install the restoring device 3 to a container 1, the blinds 11 are first attached to the container 1, for example by means of welding. For repair of a container it is checked whether the suspensions are in relation to the position and the diameter of the aperture compatible with the to be mounted Rückstelleinn ^'rect. 3 If this is not the case, the suspension is removed and replaced by the tabs 11.

Before delivery to the customer, a spring holder 36 is mounted centrally in the housing 4 and a plug 10 is attached to both sides, for example by means of welding.

Subsequently, the housing 4 is pushed through the opening in the lid 2. The lid 2 is then positioned with the housing 4 centrally between the tabs 1 1 and the spring steel 42 is inserted through the opening in one of the tabs 1 in the housing 4 and guided in the middle of the housing through the slot 37 of the spring holder 36. Thus, the spring steel 42 is fixedly connected to the housing 4. If two or more spring steels are provided, then all spring steels are passed through the openings of the see 11 pushed into the housing 4 and connected to the housing 4 by the spring holder 36.

Next, the outer pins 12 are inserted from both sides through the openings of the tabs 11 into the openings 13 of the plug 10, so that the spring steel 42 engages on both sides in the slot 14 of the outer pins 12 and is thus rotatably coupled. The return device 3 is tightened by turning the outer pin 12 while the lid 2 is held in position, or alternatively, the lid 2 can be brought into an open position and held there. In this position, then the outer pin 12 with the tabs 11 by means of one or more holes 16 and 17, which are arranged around the opening of the tab 1 1 and the pin 15 of the outer pin 12, screwed. The position of the outer pin 12 to the tab 11 is to be adjusted so that the holes 16 and 17 are superimposed.

FIG. 2 shows an exemplary embodiment of a rear part device 3, on which two lids 2 to be opened or closed separately can be mounted. In addition, control levers 18 are mounted on the rear part device in this embodiment.

To install the return device 3 to a container 1, first the tabs 1 1 and then the middle tab 34 are mounted centrally between the tabs 1 1 to the container 1, for example by welding.

Before delivery to the customer, a spring holder 36 is mounted centrally in the housing 4. On one side of each housing 4, a plug 10 and on the other side an operating lever 18 is attached. The assembly takes place for example by means of welding.

Subsequently, the housing 4 is pushed through the opening of the lid 2. The lid is pushed under the tab 39 of the operating lever. Through the hole 41 in the tab 39, the lid - for example by Versch robbery - be fixed so that it can not move laterally on the housing. This serves in particular to the fact that the two lids in the middle can be mounted one above the other lapping and thus no moisture, such as rain, can get into the container 1.

Thereafter, the spring steel 42 is inserted through the opening 13 in the plug 10 or through the opening 40 in the operating lever 18 in the housing 4 and passed in the middle of the housing through the slot 37 of the spring holder 36. Thus, the spring steel 42 with the housing 4 firmly connected. When two or more spring steels are provided, all the spring steels are pushed from outside through the openings in the plug 10 or the operating lever 18 into the housing 4 and connected to the housing 4 by the spring holder 38. Next, the covers 2 are respectively connected to the housing 4 positioned centrally between the respective outer tabs 11 and the middle tab 34. The bolts 43 of the middle tab 34 are respectively through the openings 13 of the plug 10 of the two housings

4 introduced and the spring steel 42 is guided in each housing 4 in the respective slot 44 of the central tab 34. Next, the outer pins 12 are inserted from both sides through the openings of the respective outer flaps 11 in the openings 40 of the control lever 18, so that the spring steel snaps into the slot 14 of the outer pin and thus rotationally coupled. To tighten the rear part 3 of the lid 2 must be brought into an open position and held there. In this position, then the outer pin 12 with the tabs 11 by means of one or more holes 16 and 17, which are arranged around the opening of the tab 11 and the pin 15 of the outer pin 12, screwed. The position of the outer pin 12 to the tab 11 is to be adjusted so that the holes 16 and 17 are superimposed.

If the covers are mounted so that they overlap in the middle, for example, two limiters 45 are attached to the inner plug 10 (eg by welding). By this limiter, the opening order of the lid is specified. Thus, at first only the lid can be opened, which is at the top. Especially with plastic lids, this is an advantage because the material of the lid is protected from damage during incorrect operation. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, the container according to the invention is therefore characterized in that the container 1 has at least two covers 2 for opening and closing the container 1, the covers 2 being mounted so as to overlap each cover 2 via a cover suspension device 3, in particular restoring device 3 for an independent opening of the lid 2 with a return means, in particular springs, preferably torsion springs, is connected to the container 1, wherein the lid suspension devices 3 have a housing 4 and between the housings 4 of two adjacent lid suspension devices 3 to the inside stopper 10 limiters 45 are provided, which dictate the opening order of the cover 2. 3 shows a plug 10 for the housing with an opening 13 through which the pivot axis 5 extends.

FIG. 4 shows a tab 11 for fastening the rear part device 3 to a container 1, the tab 11 having bores 17 which correspond to the bores 16 of the outer journal 12.

Figure 5 shows an outer pin 12 with a slot 14 for receiving the spring steel 42 in a bolt 15. The outer pin 12 has to the holes 17 of the tab 11 corresponding holes 16.

FIG. 6 shows a container 1 with lid 2 known from the prior art and a rear part device 3 according to the invention.

Figures 7 and 8 show a lid suspension device with a mounted on the housing 4 cover 2 made of plastic with operating lever 18. The cover 2 forms with the

The lateral surface of the housing 4 is a positive connection, which is capable of transmitting a torque for opening and closing the lid. The housing 4 is a rectangular profile, for example made of metal or plastic, preferably of metal.

The lid suspension device of FIG. 7 is designed as a rear part device 3. The

Torsion spring is arranged so that the torsion bar spring at a pivot position of the lid 2, in which the lid 2 is opened, is relaxed or relieved. Characterized in that the operating lever 18, which is welded to the housing 4, is engaged in the latching device 19 for holding the operating lever 18 in the closed position of the lid 2, no torque is transmitted from the housing 4 of the lid suspension device 3 on the lid 2, but only on the latched control lever 18. Therefore, the lid 2 remains closed despite the open locking means 20.

FIG. 8 shows the latching device I in the opened state. This consists of a hook 21 which can engage in the notch 38 in the operating lever. The hook 21 can either be attached directly to the container or preferably be attached to the container via a flexible connector (preferably a chain). The user can carry the hook 21 by pressing on the operating lever 18 in the notch 38 and thus engage the latching device 19. Will the operating lever 18 manually released by the user by pressing down from the latching device 19, the torque generated by the torsion spring of the rear part 3 device is no longer received by the latching device 19. Upon release of the operating lever 18, therefore, the operating lever 18 and the lid 2 will pivot together upward.

5

The operating lever 18 is connected to the housing 4 next to the lid 2 and separately from the lid 2. Thus, the cover 2 can easily be replaced or replaced by sliding on the housing.

FIG. 9 shows a detail of a lid suspension device 3, which illustrates the structure of a locking device 22 for determining the current pivot position of the cover 2.

The locking device 22 includes a locking lever! 24 (Figure 10), a locking spring 25 (Figure 9) and designed as a gear 23 (Figure 1 1) disc with recesses. The gear 23 and the locking lever 24 are arranged between the housing 4 and a tab 11 15 of the container 1. The gear 23 is rotatably connected to the housing 4 and is able to rotate together with the housing 4 about the pivot axis 5.

The teeth 26 of the gear 23 have a sawtooth shape, which is oriented so that the steeply sloping surfaces 29 of a tooth 26 in exactly the direction of rotation, in which the gear 23 and the housing 4 and the lid 3 about the pivot axis 5 turn 20 to go from an open position to a closed position of the lid 2.

The locking lever 24 can rotate about a locking lever axis 28, wherein the distance between the locking lever axis 28 and the edge 27 is designed so that the edge 27 can engage in a recess of the sawtooth teeth to a torque for a Rotati- on 5 of the gear 23rd to take to pivot the lid 2 in the closed position.

A majority of the absorbed forces is then transmitted from the steeply sloping surface 29 to the edge 27.

The locking spring 25 generates a torque for rotating the locking lever 24 in the direction of the gear 23. The locking spring 25 is a metallic spiral spring, which is at the La- see 11 can push off. In other words, the locking spring 25 presses the locking lever 24 continuously against the gear 23. When pivoting from the closed position in the direction of the open position of the cover 2, the edge 27 grinds over flat rising surfaces and generates only a slight frictional resistance. If, however, the pivot direction is changed, the edge 27 engages in reaching the next steeply sloping surface 29 in the recess and blocks the rotation of the gear 23 in this direction. The lid 2 is thus determined in its current pivot position.

To solve the finding, a release lever, not shown, can be actuated, which presses a projection 30, so that the locking lever 24 against the force of the locking spring 25, the edge 27 moves away from the gear 23 or lever. Free pivoting of the lid 2 in both directions is then possible. The projection 30 is arranged so that the locking lever axis 28 extends between the projection 30 and the edge 27. Figure 12 shows a spring holder 36 having an opening 37 through which the spring steel 42 is guided. Figure 13 shows a further embodiment of the outer pin 12 with a slot 14 for receiving the spring steel 42, which is formed by two small Stahlpülatten in the cavity of the bolt 15. The bolt 15 is in this case not made of a solid material, which leads to cheaper production costs. The bores 16 of the outer pin 12 are - in contrast to the embodiment of Figure 5 - open to the outside and thus not formed on the inside final. By manufacturing by means of laser plasma system, the outer pin 12 with the holes 16 is inexpensive to manufacture.

FIG. 4 shows an operating lever 18 which can be used on a backrest device 3. The tab 39 of the control lever 18 is used for fixing to a lid of the container 1 by means of the bore 41. Through the opening 40 of the operating lever 18 of the spring steel 42 and the outer pin 12 is guided. In the notch 38, the hook 21 can engage.

Figure 15 shows a further embodiment of the plug 10 with an opening 13 through which the pivot axis 5 extends.

FIG. 16 shows a further embodiment of the lug 11 with half-open bores 17 and a half-open opening for receiving the bolt 15 of the outer plug 12. The design of the lug 11 with a half-open opening simplifies the assembly of the return device 3 on a container 1 you no longer have to run the plug through the tab, but you can easily place this from the top of the tab. Furthermore, the tab 11 is formed so that it can be fastened on the upper side of the container 1 via the intended lower side of the tab 11. This has the advantage that the varying width of the container 1 has no effect on the length of the rear part device 3, while the provided in Figure 7 laterally mounted tab 11 requires a length adjustment of the rear part 3 to the width of the container 1.

FIG. 17 shows a middle tab 34 which can be fastened on the top of the container via the bottom plate 35. The spring steel 42 is guided into the slots 44, which are surrounded by a pin 43.

FIG. 18 shows a cover suspension device with control lever 18 in the locked position. The operating lever 18 is fixed by means of the chain 19.

FIG. 19 shows a corresponding chain 19 used for fixing the operating lever 18 with a hook 21,
