Description

Waste bin

The invention relates to a waste container with a cassette receiving area in which a refill cassette containing tubular material can be inserted, a locking mechanism with which a bag section of the tubular material protruding from a refill cassette inserted in the cassette receiving area can be closed, and an actuating device by means of which the locking mechanism can be manually operated is.

The invention also relates to a disposal system with a waste container which has a cassette receiving area and a refill cassette which contains tubular material and is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container.

The invention also relates to a refill cassette with a cassette housing within which tubular material is arranged.

Generic waste containers, which are to be used in conjunction with a refill cassette, are used to dispose of waste products that occur regularly and / or in comparatively large quantities in households. Corresponding waste containers are used, for example, to dispose of odor-intensive waste products such as diapers or cat litter. Via a locking mechanism, by means of which a bag section protruding from a refill cassette of a tubular Material can be closed, the odor escape from the waste container is avoided with appropriate waste containers. This means that appropriate waste bins can also be positioned and used in the living room area.

When inserting a new refill cassette into the cassette receiving area of a waste container, the tubular material from the refill cassette has to be passed through the closure mechanism of the waste container so that the bag section of the tubular material can be closed by the closure mechanism. In the known waste containers, the locking mechanism is in a locked state before a new refill cassette is inserted. The locking mechanism of known waste containers can thus be opened manually by a user against a not inconsiderable locking force so that the tubular material from the refill cassette can be passed through the locking mechanism. The necessity of having to manually keep the locking mechanism in an open state while changing the cassette makes changing the cassette time-consuming and impairs the comfort of use of the waste container. Particularly in the case of locking mechanisms with a high locking force, limbs, such as a finger, can be trapped when changing the cassette.

The object on which the invention is based is thus to simplify the insertion of a new refill cassette into a waste container or the replacement of a used refill cassette. The object is achieved by a waste container of the type mentioned at the outset, the waste container according to the invention having a locking device by means of which the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device can be blocked.

The invention makes use of the knowledge that by blocking the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device of the Lock mechanism can be blocked in a state in which the insertion of a new refill cartridge or the replacement of an exhausted refill cartridge is simplified. The locking device can act either directly on the locking mechanism or indirectly, in particular via the actuating device, on the locking mechanism. In particular, the locking mechanism can be blocked in an at least partially opened state by means of the locking device, so that the tubular material from a refill cassette to be inserted can be passed through the at least partially opened locking mechanism without the user having to hold it open manually.

By blocking the locking mechanism and / or the

Actuating device, a specific condition of the waste container can also be displayed to the user. For example, the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are blocked by the locking device when no refill cassette is inserted. The user is through the blocking of the locking mechanism and / or the

Actuating device in this case indicates that the insertion of a refill is required. Furthermore, the waste container can be protected from improper use by the locking device.

The waste container preferably has a waste insertion opening through which the bag section can be passed from the refill cassette inserted in the cassette receiving area into a bag receiving area of the waste container and via which waste can be introduced into the bag section. The waste container can be designed, for example, as a diaper pail for disposing of soiled diapers. Alternatively or additionally, the waste container can be used to dispose of cat litter. The waste to be introduced into the bag section of the tubular material can be, for example, diapers or cat litter. In a preferred embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the locking device is set up in a locked state To block the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device and / or to release the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device in a release state. The locking mechanism and / or the actuating device preferably each have one or more movable parts. If the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are blocked, the movement of at least one movable part of the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device in at least one direction of movement is preferably blocked by the locking device. If the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are not blocked by the locking device, the moving parts of the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are not blocked by the locking device.

A refuse container according to the invention is also advantageous in which the locking device is set up to be transferred from the locked state to the unlocked state by an unlocking member, which is compatible with the locking device, of a refill cassette inserted in the cassette receiving area. An unlocking of the waste container can consequently be implemented by means of the unlocking element of the refill cassette. The unlocking member can be, for example, a material projection or a material recess on an outer surface, for example on the bottom or the side surface, of the refill cassette. The unlocking member can be, for example, a material web protruding downward or laterally outward or a material pin protruding downward or laterally outward. The unlocking member can be designed at least partially circumferentially. The cassette receiving area preferably has an at least partially circumferential receiving groove for the unlocking member. The receiving groove is preferably designed to be compatible with the unlocking member.

A refuse container according to the invention is also advantageous in which the locking device is in the locked state when no refill cassette or a refill cassette without an unlocking member compatible with the locking device is inserted in the cassette receiving area. The release member can be used to ensure that the waste container with suitable refill cassettes is used. Damage to the waste container through the use of unsuitable refill cassettes is thus effectively avoided. In addition, the blocked state informs the user of the waste container that no refill cassette or only an unsuitable refill cassette is in the cassette receiving area of the

Waste container is used.

In a further development of the refuse container according to the invention, the closure mechanism comprises at least one movable closure body which can be brought into an open position, into a closed position and / or into a cassette change position. In the open position is the

Bag section of the tubular material protruding from the refill cassette released for the introduction of waste. In the closed position, the bag section of the tubular material protruding from the refill cassette is closed. In the cassette change position, the closure body is preferably located between the open position and the

Locking position. Thus, the locking mechanism is in the

Cassette change position preferably only partially open. During the cassette change, the at least one movable closure body preferably assumes the cassette change position after a used refill cassette has been removed and before a new refill cassette is inserted. Because the at least one movable closure body is in the cassette change position, the user is informed that there is no refill cassette in the cassette receiving area and that a new compatible refill cassette must be inserted. In the open position of the at least one movable closure body, the

Bag section preferably completely released. In the open position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste introduction opening of the waste container is preferably completely open. In the closed position of the at least one movable closure body, the bag section is preferably completely closed. In the closed position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste introduction opening of the waste container is preferably completely closed. In the cassette change position of the at least one movable closure body the bag section is preferably partially or not completely released. In the cassette change position of the at least one movable closure body, the waste introduction opening of the waste container is preferably partially open. The refuse container according to the invention is further developed advantageously in that the locking device is set up to hold the at least one movable closure body of the closure mechanism in the cassette change position. The locking device is preferably designed to hold the at least one movable locking body of the locking mechanism in the cassette change position when the locking device is in the locked state and / or when no or no suitable refill cassette is inserted in the cassette receiving area of the waste container. If the at least one movable closure body is in the cassette changing position, the user is informed that there is no or no suitable refill cassette in the cassette receiving area of the waste container. During the cassette change, the at least one movable closure body consequently assumes the cassette change position after a used refill cassette has been removed and before a new refill cassette is inserted. In another embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the locking device has a movable locking body, which can be brought into engagement and / or abutment with a movable and preferably spring-loaded part of the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device in order to block the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device. The movable locking body of the

The locking device thus blocks at least one movable part of the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device in the locked state of the locking mechanism, the blockage being implemented by an engagement and / or a stop. The waste container according to the invention is also advantageously developed in that the locking body is provided with a return spring with a Restoring force is applied, which is set up to move the locking body into a blocking position in which the locking body blocks the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device when no unlocking member acts on the locking body. If the unlocking member has to be arranged on a refill cassette, the blocking body is in the blocking position when no or no suitable refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container. In this case, the locking body is held in the blocking position by the restoring force of the restoring spring, so that the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are blocked.

In a further preferred embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the locking body can be moved by an unlocking member against the restoring force of the restoring spring into a passive position in which the locking body does not block the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device. If the unlocking element has to be arranged on a refill cassette, the insertion of the refill cassette leads to the locking body being moved from the blocking position into the passive position by the unlocking element against the restoring force of the restoring spring. The locking body is then held in the passive position by the unlocking member of an inserted refill cassette, so that the locking mechanism and / or the

Actuating device are not blocked. The blocking body preferably has an inclined contact surface, so that the blocking body is moved horizontally, for example, when an unlocking member moves along the inclined contact surface during a vertical movement. The unlocking member is preferably pressed against the locking body by a vertical movement, so that the locking body is displaced from the blocking position into the passive position by the unlocking member.

In a particularly preferred embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the blocking body is arranged below the cassette receiving area. The locking body can thus be moved into the passive position via an unlocking element arranged on the bottom of a refill cassette when the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area become. Alternatively, the blocking body can also be arranged to the side of the cassette receiving area or above the cassette receiving area.

In addition, a refuse container according to the invention is advantageous in which the closure mechanism has two movable closure bodies designed as closure wings, a pivoting movement of the closure wings being able to be initiated by means of the actuating device. Between the two pivotable closure bodies is one of one in the

Cassette receiving area inserted refill cassette protruding bag portion of the tubular material can be clamped. The two pivotable closure bodies are comparatively easy to implement in terms of construction and manufacturing technology, with the pivotable closure bodies simultaneously being able to bring about an excellent closing effect. The production costs of the waste container according to the invention are thus significantly reduced, while at the same time an odor leakage from the

Bag portion of the tubular material of the inserted refill is avoided. The waste container can thus also be positioned in heavily frequented rooms of a household, such as in the kitchen, in a baby changing room or in a children's room. The locking mechanism can also pivot more than two

Have closure bodies, for example when the closure bodies are kinematically coupled to one another in the manner of an iris diaphragm.

In a preferred embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the closure bodies can be pivoted between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the bag section of the tubular material is clamped in by the closure body. In the open position, the bag section of the tubular material is released for the introduction of waste into the bag section. The closure bodies are preferably kinematically coupled to one another so that the closure bodies are always pivoted at the same time. This applies both to an opening movement of the closure body from the closed position into the Open position as well as for a closing movement of the closure body from the open position into the closed position.

The refuse container according to the invention is furthermore advantageously developed in that the closure bodies are each set up to execute a pivoting movement about a pivot axis, the pivot axes preferably running below the cassette receiving area. The pivot axes of the closure bodies preferably run in the horizontal direction. Alternatively, the pivot axes of the

Closure body be aligned upright or extend in the vertical direction. Preferably, the closure bodies are also below the

Cassette receiving area arranged and remain even during the execution of a pivoting movement in its entirety below the

Cassette receiving area. The pivot axes of the closure bodies are preferably arranged at a distance from one another and / or run parallel to one another. In the open position of the closure body there is an opening between the pivot axes of the closure body through which the bag section of the tubular material extends. In the

In the closed position of the closure body, the bag section of the tubular material is clamped essentially at the level of the pivot axes of the closure body.

In addition, a refuse container according to the invention is preferred in which a pivoting movement of the closure body can be carried out or caused by manual actuation of the actuating device. A pivoting movement of the closure bodies from the closed position into the open position can be carried out or initiated by means of the actuating device. The actuating device and / or the closure body is preferably spring-loaded, wherein a closing movement of the closure body can be implemented by means of the spring loading.

In another embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the actuating device has a movable actuating unit which can be moved, in particular linearly moved, by an external pressure load. The actuation unit can preferably be pressed down by a user. The actuation unit is preferably partially sunk into a container housing by an external pressure load. The actuation unit can preferably be moved in the vertical direction by an external pressure load. The actuation unit can be constructed in several parts or in one part.

In a further embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the actuating device has one or more transmission members connecting the actuating unit to the closure bodies, with a linear movement of the

Actuating unit is deformable in a pivoting movement of the closure body. A first transmission member is preferably attached in an articulated manner to the actuating unit and a first closure body. Preferably, a second transmission member is hingedly attached to the actuating unit and a second closure body. One or more

Transmission members can be designed as lever elements, in particular as toggle levers.

In a further development of the waste container according to the invention, the actuating device has one or more return springs which apply a closing force to the closure body. The closure bodies can be pivoted from the open position into the closed position by means of the one or more return springs. A first return spring is preferably attached to the actuation unit and a first closure body. A second return spring is preferably attached to the actuation unit and a second closure body.

The refuse container according to the invention is furthermore advantageously developed in that the one or more return springs are articulated to the actuating unit and are set up to move the movable actuating unit back into the starting position by an external pressure load as soon as the external pressure load on the movable actuating unit is released . As an alternative or in addition, the one or more return springs are set up to move the closure body after opening from the open position back into the closed position as soon as the external pressure load on the movable actuation unit is released. Thus, no further spring elements are required to close the closure body and to reset the actuation unit after actuation. The closure construction is thus considerably simplified.

In a further development of the waste container according to the invention, the one or more return springs and the one or more transmission members are articulated to the actuation unit and the closure bodies in such a way that a change in length of the one or more return springs caused when the closure body is opened is shorter than the travel of the actuation unit . In addition, the locking mechanism makes use of the toggle lever effect. In the closed closed position of the closure body, the one or more transmission members are in an upright orientation. The inclination of the one or more transmission members is increased as the opening angle of the closure body increases. The path of travel of the actuating unit is thus longer than the path of movement of the articulation points of the one or more transmission members on the closure bodies. This ratio of the travel distance of the actuating unit and the movement path of the articulation points of the one or more transmission members on the closure bodies results in a lever effect which reduces the force required to actuate the actuation device, i.e. to move the actuation unit.

In another embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the actuation unit is constructed in several parts, with a contact body of the actuation unit being movable relative to a base body of the actuation unit. The contact body is preferably guided in the base body or the base body in the contact body. The contact body provides a contact surface for the actuation of the actuation device by a user, the contact surface for actuation by a user Pressure is to be claimed. The contact body is preferably designed to be operated by one hand of a user. With a relative movement of the contact body and the base body, these are either pushed into one another or pulled apart. In a further preferred embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the contact body and the base body are kinematically coupled to one another, the kinematic coupling of the contact body and the base body having a play of movement so that the contact body can be moved along a section of a movement path without moving the base body. In the event of a movement beyond this subsection of the movement path, the contact body and the base body move uniformly without a relative movement. A return spring is preferably arranged between the contact body and the base body of the actuating unit, by means of which the contact body can be moved relative to the base body.

In addition, a waste container according to the invention is preferred which has a pivotable container lid. The pivotable container lid is preferably designed to cover a waste introduction area of the waste container in a closed state, with the actuating device being able to cause the container lid to open. The container lid is preferably spring-loaded. The actuating device can thus be used to actuate both the locking mechanism and the container lid.

The container lid is preferably locked in the closed state, the locking of the container lid being releasable by means of the actuating device. In particular, the container lid is connected to a lid spring, the lid spring causing the container lid to open as soon as the locking of the container lid is released.

In another embodiment of the waste container according to the invention, the container lid is latched in the closed state, the lid latching mechanism for opening the container lid by moving the Contact body along the section of its movement path in which it can be moved without moving the base body, is resolvable. By releasing the lid latching, an opening movement of the container lid is initiated. The opening movement of the container lid results from a lid spring which is coupled to the container lid. The fact that the lid latching for opening the container lid is released by moving the contact body along the subsection of a movement path in which it can be moved without moving the base body means that the lid can be opened independently of the opening of the closure mechanism without separate Control devices are required. The convenience when using the waste container is thus increased considerably. Furthermore, there is a reduction in the number of parts and thus reduced assembly costs.

In a further development of the waste container according to the invention, the closure bodies together form a trough-shaped receiving surface for receiving waste in the closed position. The waste product to be introduced into the bag section of the tubular material can thus be placed on the trough-shaped receiving surface of the closure body by the user before the actuation device is actuated. By actuating the actuating device, a pivoting movement of the closure body is caused, so that the waste product positioned on the receiving surface falls down into the bag section of the tubular material. Because of the return springs, the closure bodies are pivoted back into the closed position after the actuation of the actuating device has ended. A refuse container according to the invention is also advantageous in which the closure bodies each have a contact area, the contact areas of the closure bodies clamping the bag section between them in the closure position. In the closed position, the contact areas of the closure bodies preferably run centrally between the pivot axes of the closure bodies. In addition, a waste container according to the invention is advantageous in which the contact areas of the closure bodies each have a contact contour, the contact contours jointly forming a closure labyrinth in the closure position of the closure bodies. The locking labyrinth defines one or more steps and / or one or more material projections and / or indentations between the locking bodies, through which the tubular material is deflected, kinked and / or folded between the locking bodies one or more times. Thus, the closure labyrinth ensures an increased tightness of the closure of the bag section of the tubular material. In this way, for example, the emergence of unpleasant smells from the bag section of the tubular material is avoided or at least significantly reduced. The contact contours can also increase the opening resistance of the closure body in the event of external stress. As an alternative or in addition to the contact contours, the respective

Closure body, one or more magnets can also be arranged, the one or more magnets in the contact area of one closure body and the one or more magnets in the contact area of the other closure body preferably attracting one another.

In addition, a refuse container according to the invention is preferred which has a refuse introduction opening. Through the waste insertion opening is the

Bag section can be passed through a bag receiving area of the waste container and waste can be introduced into the bag section. The waste introduction opening can preferably be closed by means of the closure mechanism. In particular, the waste introduction opening is closed by the closure body when the closure body is in the closed position. The waste introduction opening is preferably not closed by the closure body when the closure body is in the open position. In the open position of the closure body, waste can thus be introduced into the bag section via the waste introduction opening. The introduction of the waste into the bag section is preferably carried out in that a waste product is accessed by a user in the Closing position located closure body is placed before the actuating device is operated by the user. As a result of the actuation of the actuating device, the closure bodies are pivoted into the open position, so that the waste product falls down into the bag section due to the force of gravity.

The closure bodies can be brought into the cassette change position, in which the closure bodies are preferably in the open position or between the open position and the closed position. By means of the locking device, the closure bodies can be retained in the cassette change position.

The waste container preferably has a container housing. The container housing preferably comprises a bag receiving part which provides a bag receiving area, the bag receiving area serving to receive the bag section to be filled with waste. The container housing preferably comprises a cassette receiving part which provides the cassette receiving area. The locking mechanism and / or the actuating device are attached to the cassette receiving part or integrated into the cassette receiving part. The cassette receiving part is attached to the bag receiving part in a reversible and non-destructive releasable manner. The container housing includes a lid assembly that includes the container lid. The cover assembly is attached to the cassette receiving part in a reversible and non-destructive releasable manner.

The object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a disposal system of the type mentioned at the outset, the waste container of the disposal system according to the invention being designed according to one of the embodiments described above. With regard to the advantages and modifications of the disposal system according to the invention, reference is therefore first made to the advantages and modifications of the waste container according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment of the invention

Disposal system, the refill cassette has a cassette housing, within which the tubular material is arranged. An unlocking element compatible with the locking device of the waste container is preferably arranged on the cassette housing, the locking device being held in a released state by the unlocking element of the refill cassette inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container. When the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container, the locking device is preferably transferred from a locked state to the released state by the unlocking member. In the locked state of the locking device, the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device is blocked by the locking device. in the

In the release state of the locking device, the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device is not blocked by the locking device.

The object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a refill cassette of the type mentioned at the outset, the refill cassette according to the invention being designed to have a

Waste container according to one of the embodiments described above and / or to be used in a disposal system according to one of the embodiments described above. In terms of advantages and

Modifications of the refill cassette according to the invention, reference is therefore first made to the advantages and modifications of the waste container according to the invention and the advantages and modifications of the disposal system according to the invention.

In a preferred embodiment of the refill cassette, an unlocking member is arranged on the cassette housing of the refill cassette, which is set up to unlock a locking device of the waste container that blocks a locking mechanism and / or an actuating device of the waste container. The use of unsuitable refill cassettes can be effectively avoided by requiring an unlocking member on the refill cassette. If the refill cassette does not have a corresponding unlocking element, the locking mechanism and / or the actuation device of the waste container is blocked so that the waste container cannot be used with an unsuitable refill cassette is possible. Damage or permanent functional impairment to the waste container through the use of an unsuitable refill cassette is thus avoided.

The refill cassette can in principle have one unlocking element or also several unlocking elements. The cassette housing can be made in one piece or in several pieces.

The tubular material is preferably arranged in a compressed and / or folded form within the circumferential material receiving area of the cassette housing. The tubular material is preferably a film tube which is converted into a ring shape by folding. The film tube can be transferred into a bag by making a knot. The tubular material can have a pre-segmentation. In this case, the tubular material can comprise several successive bag segments. In a preferred embodiment of the refill cassette according to the invention, the unlocking member is set up to transfer the locking device of the waste container from a locked state to a released state. In the locked state, the locking device blocks the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device of the waste container. In the released state, the locking device releases the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device of the waste container. When a refill cassette with a suitable unlocking member is inserted into a cassette receiving area of the waste container, the locking device is consequently in a release state, so that the correct use of the waste container is possible. If no refill cassette or only an unsuitable refill cassette without a suitable unlocking element is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container, the locking device blocks the locking mechanism and / or the actuating device so that the waste container cannot be used. Damage to the waste container is thus effectively prevented. In addition, a refill cassette according to the invention is advantageous in which the unlocking member is an integral part of the cassette housing. The cassette housing and the unlocking element can be components of a one-piece body, in particular a one-piece plastic injection-molded part. Because the cassette housing and the unlocking member are part of a one-piece body, the manufacturing process is simplified, so that the manufacturing costs are also reduced. Furthermore, the unlocking element is comparatively robust against external stress, so that the unlocking element can absorb high forces without the refill cassette being damaged. Due to the high load capacity of the unlocking member, the locking device of the waste container can be made robust, since comparatively large unlocking forces can be applied to the locking device with the unlocking member of the refill cartridge without the risk of damage to the refill cartridge. In an alternative embodiment of the refill cassette according to the invention, the unlocking element is connected to the cassette housing in a form-fitting, force-fitting and / or material fit. In particular, in the case of filigree locking devices on a waste container, only low unlocking forces are often required, so that an inexpensive form, force and / or material connection between the cassette housing and the unlocking element is sufficient to enable the unlocking element to withstand sufficient mechanical stress. The unlocking member can also be connected to the cassette housing in a reversible and non-destructive releasable manner. The refill cassette can thus also be used in a waste container which does not have a receptacle for the unlocking member. In this case, the unlocking member can be removed from the cassette housing without damage.

In addition, a refill cassette according to the invention is advantageous in which the unlocking element is arranged on an underside of the cassette housing. If the unlocking member is arranged on the underside of the cassette housing, the locking device of the

Waste container be arranged below a cassette receiving area of the waste container. When inserting the refill into the In the cassette receiving area of the waste container, the locking device is then unlocked, in which case the unlocking member transfers the locking device from the locked state to the released state. The locking member can also be arranged on a circumferential outer wall of the cassette housing. If the unlocking member is arranged on a circumferential outer wall of the cassette housing, the locking device of the waste container can be arranged to the side of a cassette receiving area of the waste container. This can be advantageous in particular in the case of waste containers with a low overall height. Furthermore, a refill cassette according to the invention is advantageous in which the unlocking member is a material projection or a material depression. If the release member is a protrusion of material, the waste container has in

Cassette receiving area preferably a recess for the

Unlocking member into which the unlocking member is inserted when the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container. If the unlocking member is a material recess, the waste container in the cassette receiving area preferably has a material projection which can be inserted into the material recess of the refill cassette. In addition, a refill cassette according to the invention is preferred in which the unlocking member is a material web, in particular a material web having a curvature or a curve. The material web is preferably elongated so that it has increased stability. Due to the increased stability, a comparatively high unlocking force can be applied to the locking device of the waste container via the unlocking member. Alternatively, the locking member can also be designed as a pin or bolt.

In addition, a refill cassette according to the invention is advantageous in which the unlocking member is at least partially circumferential. In particular, the unlocking member is designed to be inserted into an at least partially circumferential receiving groove for the unlocking member in a cassette receiving area of the waste container. The The unlocking element can be designed as a circumferential material web which extends along a circular path on the bottom of the cassette housing. The receiving groove for the unlocking member can be located in a floor segment of the cassette receiving area of the waste container. The unlocking member and the receiving groove can be designed in such a way that a rotation of the refill cassette about its vertical axis is possible, or alternatively is prevented by a stop of the unlocking member on the wall of the receiving groove.

In another embodiment of the refill cassette according to the invention, the unlocking member is designed to push away a locking body of the locking device of the waste container during insertion into a cassette receiving area of the waste container. The locking body of the waste container is preferably spring-loaded so that when the refill cassette is inserted into the cassette receiving area, the spring force acting on the locking body for pushing away the locking body has to be overcome. In order to push away the locking body of the locking device of the waste container, a suitable unlocking force has to be applied from the unlocking member to the locking body.

The refill cassette according to the invention is further developed advantageously in that one or more test elements are arranged on the cassette housing, each of which is designed as a material protrusion and is designed to be inserted into corresponding test recesses in a cassette receiving area of the waste container. Alternatively, the one or more test elements can also be designed as material recesses and be set up to receive corresponding test projections in a cassette receiving area of the waste container. A compatibility test with regard to the refill cassette used can be carried out via the one or more test elements. There is thus a two-stage suitability test of the refill cassette. First of all, the refill cassette needs one or more suitable test elements so that the refill cassette can even be inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container. If the one or more test elements are present and the refill cassette can be inserted into the cassette receiving area of the waste container is, it is also necessary to unlock the locking device of the waste container in order to use the waste container. For this, the

Refill cassette a suitable unlocking member via which the

Locking mechanism and / or the actuating device of the waste container can be unlocked.

The disposal system 200 can be used, for example, to dispose of soiled diapers or to dispose of cat litter. The refill cartridge 100 includes tubular material 104 from which waste bags can be formed. The tubular material 104 can be, for example, a film tube.

The waste container 10 has a multi-part container housing 12 made of plastic. The container housing 12 comprises two bag receiving parts 14a, 14b, which provide a bag receiving area 40. The bag receiving area 40 serves to receive a bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 provided by the refill cassette 100 to be filled with waste. The container housing 12 furthermore comprises a cassette receiving part 16, which provides a cassette receiving area 32. The refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the cassette receiving part 16. The cassette receiving part 16 is pivotally attached to the bag receiving part 14b. Via the pivotable attachment of the cassette receiving part 16 to the bag receiving part 14, the bag receiving area 40 provided by the bag receiving parts 14a, 14b can be made accessible to a user so that the user can remove a bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 filled with waste from the bag receiving area 40.

Furthermore, an actuating device 24 and a locking mechanism 36 of the waste container 10 are attached to the cassette receiving part 16. A bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 protruding from the refill cassette 100 can be closed by means of the closure mechanism 36. The locking mechanism 36 can be actuated manually by means of the actuating device 24. The container housing 12 also has a lid assembly 18 which comprises a container lid 20. The container lid 20 is pivotable on one The lid receptacle 22 is attached and is spring-loaded in the closed state, so that an opening movement of the container lid 20 can be caused by the release of a lid lock. The cover assembly 18 is attached to the cassette receiving part 16 in a reversible and non-destructive releasable manner. An opening of the container lid 20 can be caused by means of the actuating device 24.

In the state of the waste container 10 shown in FIG. 1, the pivotable container lid 20 is in a closed state. In the closed state, the container lid 20 covers a waste insertion area 70 of the waste container 10. The waste insertion area 70 of the waste container 10 is used to receive waste to be disposed of before the waste to be disposed of is transferred into the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104.

By manually actuating the actuating device 24, the state of the waste container 10 shown in FIG. 2 can be brought about, in which the container lid 20 is open and the waste introduction area 70 of the waste container 10 is released. A funnel surface 28, which is part of the cover receptacle 22, is located within the waste introduction region 70. The waste container 10 also has a waste introduction opening 30, via which waste can be introduced into the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104.

The waste container 10 of the disposal system 200 shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 has a closure mechanism 36 with two pivotable closure bodies 38a, 38b. Furthermore, the waste container 10 comprises a cassette receiving area 32 (covered) in which a refill cassette 100 containing tubular material 104 can be inserted. A bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 protruding from a refill cassette 100 inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 can be clamped between the closure bodies 38a, 38b. In this exemplary embodiment, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are designed as pivotable closure wings. In the states shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, no refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10.

In the state shown in FIG. 3, the container lid 20 is closed, so that a waste introduction area 70 of the waste container 10 is covered by the container lid 20.

In the state shown in FIG. 4, the container lid 20 of the waste container 10 is open, so that the waste introduction area 70 is released. The closure bodies 38a, 38b are in a partially open state, this state being referred to as the cassette change position. In the cassette change position of the closure body 38a, 38b is the

Waste introduction opening 30 of the waste container 10 is only partially open. The waste container 10 has a locking device 50 (covered) by means of which the closure bodies 38a, 38b are held in the cassette change position when no refill cassette 100 is inserted in the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10. Due to the partially open

With the waste insertion opening 30, a bag section 112 of a refill cassette 100 to be inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 can be conveniently passed through the waste insertion opening 30. After the bag section 112 has been passed through the waste insertion opening 30, the refill cassette 100 can be inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10. By inserting the refill cartridge 100 into the

In the cassette receiving area 32, the blocking device 50 of the waste container 10 is transferred from a blocked state to a released state, so that the closure bodies 38a, 38b execute a pivoting movement to close the waste insertion opening 30.

In the state of the waste container 10 shown in FIG. 5, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are in a closed position in which the waste introduction opening 30 and a bag section 112 of a tubular material 104 extending through the waste introduction opening 30 are completely closed by the closure bodies 38a, 38b become. In this state, a waste product to be disposed of, for example a diaper, can be stored in the waste introduction area 70 can be placed. By actuating the actuating device 24, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are brought into an open position.

In the state shown in FIG. 6, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are in the open position. In the open position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b, the waste introduction opening 30 and thus also the bag section 112 extending through the waste introduction opening 30 are exposed. A waste product positioned in the waste introduction area 70 thus falls under the action of gravity into the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104. After pressing the

Actuating device 24, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are moved back into the closed position, so that the waste introduction opening 30 and the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104 extending through the waste introduction opening are closed. 7 shows a waste container 10, with no refill cassette 100 being inserted into the cassette receiving area 32. Due to the fact that no refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32, the pivotable closure bodies 38a, 38b are held in a partially open cassette changing position by a locking device 50 of the waste container 10.

8 shows that in order to insert a refill cassette 100 into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, the cover assembly 18 must first be removed. The cover assembly 18 is attached to the cassette receiving part 16 of the container housing 12 by means of a clip or clamp connection. The fastening can be released by folding down the lever 84 so that the cover assembly 18 can be lifted off the cassette receiving part 16.

8 also shows a housing hinge 46, via which the cassette receiving part 16 is pivotably attached to the bag receiving part 14b of the container housing 12. The housing hinge 46 allows the cassette receiving part 16 to be pivoted about the pivot axis 48. 9 shows a refill cassette 100 which is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 by a vertical movement.

The refill cassette 100 has a cassette housing 102 which has a circumferential material receiving area 106. Tubular material 104, namely a film tube, is arranged within the material receiving area 106. An unlocking member 108 is arranged on the bottom of the cassette housing 102 and is designed to unlock a locking device 50 of the waste container 10, the locking device 50 blocking a locking mechanism 36 and an actuating device 24 of the waste container 10. The unlocking member 108 is an integral part of the cassette housing 102. The cassette housing 102 and the unlocking member 108 are namely components of a one-piece plastic injection-molded part. In an alternative embodiment of the refill cassette 100, the unlocking member 108 can also be connected to the cassette housing 102 in a form-fitting, force-fitting and / or material fit.

The unlocking member 108 is a material projection on the underside of the cassette housing 102, the material projection being a circumferential material web. In other embodiments, the unlocking member 108 can also be designed as a pin or bolt and / or can be arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the cassette housing 102.

10 shows the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, wherein the refill cassette 100 has to be lowered further to complete the insertion process. The cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10 has a circumferential receiving groove 42 for the unlocking member 108. To complete the insertion process, the encircling unlocking member 108 is to be inserted into the encircling receiving groove 42.

11 shows that a locking body 52 of the locking device 50 of the waste container 10 is located in a section of the circumferential receiving groove 42. The locking body 52 is displaceable along a horizontal movement path between a wall section of the cassette receiving part 16 and a support body 66, which is inserted into the cassette receiving part 16, stored. The locking body 52 has an inclined contact surface 54, so that the locking body 52 is moved along its horizontal movement path when the unlocking member 108 is inserted into the receiving groove 42 of the waste container 10. The locking body 52 is arranged below the cassette receiving area 32, so that the locking body 52 can be moved from the blocking position shown into a passive position via the unlocking member 108 arranged on the bottom of the refill cassette 100. The locking body 52 is held in the passive position shown by the return spring 56, provided that no unlocking member 108 is inserted into the receiving groove 42.

The blocking body 52 blocks a spring-loaded part of the actuating device 24. The part of the actuating device 24 blocked by the blocking body 52 is an actuating unit 26 which, when actuated by a user, can be moved, in particular linearly, in the vertical direction. The

Actuating unit 26 can be pressed down by a user in the unlocked state. In the locked state shown, the actuating unit 26 is already in a depressed state and is held in this state by the locking body 52. An upward movement of the actuating unit 26, which by return springs 82a, 82b to the

Closure bodies 38a, 38b can be caused and could still be supported by a spring between the base body 60 and the support body 66, is avoided by the locking body 52. The actuation unit 26 is formed in several parts and comprises a contact body 58 and a base body 60. The contact body 58 provides a contact surface for the actuation of the actuation device 24 by a user, the contact surface being subject to pressure for actuation by a user. The contact body 58 and the base body 60 of the actuation unit 26 are kinematically coupled to one another in such a way that when the contact body 58 and the base body 60 move relative to each other, they are pushed into one another or apart. 12 and 13 show a state in which the operation of inserting the refill cassette 100 into the cassette receiving portion 32 of the waste container 10 is completed. The unlocking element 108 designed as a circumferential web is now located in the circumferential receiving groove 42. During the insertion into the circumferential receiving groove 42, the unlocking element 108 has deflected the locking body 52 in the direction of the interior of the container.

By moving the blocking body 52 in the horizontal direction, the blocking body 52 was moved from the blocking position to the passive position against the restoring force of the return spring 56, the blocking body 52 not blocking the locking mechanism 36 and the actuating device 24 in the passive position. The locking bodies 38a, 38b of the locking mechanism 36 are therefore no longer in the

The cassette change position is held and pivoted into a closed position via return springs 82a, 82b. 13 also shows a test element 110 arranged on the underside of the cassette housing 102. The test element 110 is designed as a material pin and is received by a recess in the cassette receiving area 32 when the refill cassette 100 is inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10. It can thus be checked via the checking element 110 whether the waste container 10 is compatible with the refill cassette 100.

14 shows the waste container 10 with the completely inserted refill cassette 100. Since the actuating device 24 is no longer blocked by the locking device 50, the actuating unit 26 is in a non-depressed state. Fig. 14 also shows one

Part of a release mechanism 34, via which a jamming of the cassette receiving part 16 on the bag receiving part 14b of the container housing 12 can be released.

After the tubular material 104 has been passed from the refill cassette 100 through the waste insertion opening 30 and the refill cassette 100 has been inserted into the cassette receiving area 32 of the waste container 10, the Lid assembly 18 can be placed back onto the cassette receiving part 16. After the cover assembly 18 has been fastened to the cassette receiving part 16, the cassette change is complete and the disposal system 200 can be used for the disposal of waste products.

To introduce waste products into the tubular material 104 from the refill cassette 100, the container lid 20 must first be opened so that the waste introduction area 70 is exposed.

15 shows that the container lid 20 is latched in the closed state, a lid latching 68 for opening the container lid 20 being releasable by moving the contact body 58. The kinematic coupling of the contact body 58 and the base body 60 has a play of movement, so that the contact body 58 can be moved along a section of its movement path without moving the base body 60. To open the container lid 20, the contact body 58 is to be moved along the subsection of its movement path along which the contact body 58 can be moved without moving the base body 60.

In the state shown in FIG. 16, the contact body 58 was pressed down by a user without the base body 60 moving. The vertical movement of the contact body 58 was the

Lid latching 68 released, so that the spring-loaded container lid 20 is released and is pivoted into an open position due to a spring force. When the contact body 58 is relieved of pressure after the container lid 20 has been opened, the contact body 58 is moved back into the starting position by the additional spring 64.

After the container lid 20 has been pivoted open, the disposal system 200 is in the state shown in FIG. 17. In this state, the bag section 102 of the tubular material 104 protruding from the inserted refill cassette 100 is clamped between the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A waste product such as a diaper, can now be inserted into the waste introduction area 70 of the waste container 10.

The separating knife shown in FIG. 17 is fastened reversibly and non-destructively inside the container housing 12. The severing knife 44 can be used to sever the tubular material 104 when the bag section 112 has been filled with waste products.

18 shows that the closure bodies 38a, 38b, which are designed as closure wings, jointly have a trough-shaped structure in the closure position

Form receiving surface 72 for receiving waste. The closure bodies 38a, 38b each have a contact area 74a, 74b, the contact areas 74a, 74b of the closure bodies 38a, 38b in FIG

In the closed position, pinch the bag section 112 between you. The contact areas 74a, 74b of the closure bodies 38a, 38b each have a contact contour 76a, 76b, the contact contours 76a, 76b jointly in the closed position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b

Form locking labyrinth. The locking labyrinth defines a plurality of steps between the locking bodies 38a, 38b through which the tubular material 104 between the locking bodies 38a, 38b to

Increase in tightness is deflected several times. As an alternative or in addition to the contact contours 76a, 76b, one or more magnets can also be arranged in the contact areas 74a, 74b of the respective closure bodies 38a, 38b, with the one or more magnets in the contact area 74a of one closure body 38a and the one or more magnets the multiple magnets in the contact area 74b of the other closure body 38b attract each other.

19 and 20 show that the closure bodies 38a, 38b are each set up to execute a pivoting movement about a pivot axis 78a, 78b, the pivot axes 78a, 78b being below the

Cassette receiving area 32 extend. The pivot axes 78a, 78b of the closure bodies 38a, 38b are arranged at a distance from one another and run parallel to one another. A pivoting movement of the closure body 38a, 38b can be initiated by manual actuation of the actuating device 24. The closure bodies 38a, 38b are by means of

Actuating device 24 can be pivoted from the illustrated closed position into an open position. The actuation device 24 has two transmission members 80a, 80b which connect the actuation unit 26 to the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A linear movement is via the transmission members 80a, 80b

Actuating unit 26 can be transformed into a pivoting movement of the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A first transmission member 80a is hingedly attached to the actuating unit 26 and a first closure body 38a. A second transmission member 80b is hingedly attached to the actuating unit 26 and a second closure body 38b.

Furthermore, the actuating device 24 has a plurality of return springs 82a, 82b, which act on the closure bodies 38a, 38b with a closing force. A first return spring 82a is attached to the actuating unit 26 and the first closure body 38a. A second return spring 82b is attached to the actuating unit 26 and the second closure body 38b. By pressing down the actuating unit 26, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are consequently pivoted open. The resulting open position of the closure bodies 38a, 38b is shown in FIG. 21. The bag section 112 and the waste introduction opening 30 are therefore no longer closed by the closure bodies 38a, 38b. A waste product which was placed in the waste introduction area 70 before actuation of the actuating device 24 now falls under the action of gravity into the bag section 112 of the tubular material 104. The bag section 112 is located in the bag receiving area 40 of the container housing 12.

22 and 23 show how the transmission members 80a, 80b have converted the vertical movement of the actuating unit into a pivoting movement of the closure bodies 38a, 38b. After the actuation of the actuating device 24 has ended, the closure bodies 38a, 38b are opened by means of Return springs 82a, 82b pivoted again from the open position into the closed position. After the waste introduction opening 30 and the bag section 112 have been closed, further waste products can be placed in the waste introduction area 70 in order to transfer them into the bag section 112. Figs. 24 and 25 show an actuator 24 and a

Locking mechanism 36. In FIG. 24, the actuating unit 26, which can be moved in the vertical direction, is in an initial position and the locking bodies 38a, 38b of the locking mechanism 36 are in the locked position. In FIG. 25, after actuation of the actuating device 24, the actuation unit 26 is in a downwardly displaced state and the closure bodies 38a, 38b of the closure mechanism 36 are in the open position.

The transmission members 80a, 80b and the return springs 82a, 82b are articulated on the actuating unit 26 and on the closure bodies 38a, 38b. The return springs 82a, 82b are adapted to the movable

Actuating unit 26 according to a method based on an external

To move the compressive stress back into the starting position and to move the closure bodies 38a, 38b after opening from the open position back into the closed position as soon as the external compressive stress of the movable actuation unit is released. One when opening the

The change in length of the return springs 82a, 82b caused by the closure body 38a, 38b is shorter than the travel distance of the actuating unit 26. In the closed closed position of the closure body 38a, 38b, the transmission members 80a, 80b are in an upright orientation. The inclination of the transmission members 80a, 80b increases as the opening angle of the closure bodies 38a, 38b increases. The travel path of the actuating unit 26 is thus longer than the path of movement of the articulation points of the transmission members 80a, 80b on the closure bodies 38a, 38b. This ratio of the travel path of the actuating unit 26 and the path of movement of the articulation points of the transmission members 80a, 80b on the closure bodies 38a, 38b results in a lever effect which leads to the force required to actuate the actuating device 24 being reduced.
