Den foreliggende opfindelse angår en papirkurv af den i indledningen til krav 1 angivne art.The present invention relates to a recycle bin of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 1.

Kendte papirkurve af denne art til brug på offentlige steder indebærer nogle betjeningsmæssige ulemper, der under hensyn 5 til helt aktuel risiko for smitte fra bortkastede sprøjter og kanyler bør afhjælpes, således at det - set ud fra arbejdsmiljø-hensyn - bliver mere sikkert at tømme sådanne papirkurve .Known trash cans of this kind for use in public places have some operational disadvantages which, taking into account the very current risk of contamination from discarded syringes and needles, should be eliminated, so that - from the point of view of working environment - it becomes safer to empty such trash.

Fra beskrivelsen til US-C2-3 224 670 kendes en papirkurv be-10 regnet til opsætning på offentlige lokaliteter og med en bunddel, der med henblik på udtøming af indholdet af papirkurven, er drejelig om en vandret akse forneden ved en bagside. Bunddelen åbnes ved hjælp af en fra forsiden af papirkurven nøglebetjent mekanisme, der udover at betjene bunddelens åbning og-15 så virker som lukkemekanisme for et fladt plakathulrum ved forsiden af papirkurven. Der er altså tale om en ret kompliceret indretning, hvor der yderligere findes særlige organer beregnet til manuelt at nedsvinge bunddelen, hvis denne ikke åbner sig selv, efter udløsningen med nøglen, dvs. at der ikke 20 reelt er skabt sikkerhed imod at komme i kontakt med indholdet af papirkurven ved tømning deraf.From the description of US-C2-3 224 670, a trash can is calculated for installation in public places and with a bottom part which, for emptying the contents of the trash, is rotatable about a horizontal axis at the bottom at a back. The bottom portion is opened by a key operated mechanism from the front of the trash which, in addition to operating the bottom portion opening, acts as a closing mechanism for a flat poster space at the front of the trash. In other words, it is a rather complicated device, where there are further special means intended to manually swing the bottom part, if it does not open itself, after release with the key, ie. that there is no real security against contact with the contents of the trash when emptying it.

Opfindelsen har til formål at angive en papirkurv af den indledningsvis angivne art, og ved hjælp af hvilken udtømning af papirkurvens indhold kan foregå på enkel og sikker måde, uden 25 at personalet kommer i kontakt med papirkurvens indhold.The invention has for its object to provide a trash can of the type initially indicated and by means of which discharge of the contents of the trash can be carried out in a simple and safe manner, without the staff coming into contact with the contents of the trash.

Papirkurven ifølge opfindelsen er ejendommelig ved, at udløsermekanismen udgøres af en første ledarm, der ved en ende er drejeligt forbundet med bunddelen, og som ved den modsatte ende er drejeligt forbundet med en anden ledarm, der modsat 30 førstnævnte ledarm er drejningsstift forbundet med nævnte aktiveringsorganer, der omfatter en ved en side af beholderdelen parallelt med bunddelens svingakse anbragt drejetap, der kan betjenes fra ydersiden af beholderdelen. Herved kan på enkelThe trash according to the invention is characterized in that the triggering mechanism is constituted by a first link arm rotatably connected to the bottom part and which at the opposite end is pivotally connected to a second link arm, which is opposite to the first link arm rotational pin connected to said actuating means. , comprising a pivot pin located at one side of the container portion parallel to the pivot axis of the bottom portion, operable from the outside of the container portion. This allows for easy

2 måde opnås god sikkerhed for personalet, idet papirkurvens indhold kan udtømmes ned i en passende opsamlingsbeholder, uden at personalet overhovedet behøver at komme i kontakt med eventuelt risikobetonet affald. Ved opfindelsen opnås desuden 5 på enkel måde en god og solid udløsermekanisme for bunddelen, der ved tømning af papirkurven yderligere kan aktivt påvirkes til åbning. Med henblik på at beskytte udløsermekanismen mod påvirkning af vejrliget og af indholdet i papirkurven kan papirkurven ifølge opfindelsen hensigtsmæssigt være udformet så-10 ledes, at udløsermekanismen er placeret mellem en ydervægdel og en mellemvæg af beholderdelen, idet nævnte drejetap er lejret i mellemvæggen og er styret i nævnte ydervægdel.In 2 ways, good safety is achieved for the staff, as the contents of the trash can be emptied into an appropriate collection container without the staff having to come into contact with any hazardous waste at all. In addition, the invention provides in a simple manner a good and solid release mechanism for the bottom part, which, when emptying the trash, can be further actively influenced for opening. In order to protect the trigger mechanism from influencing the weather and the contents of the trash, the trash according to the invention may conveniently be designed such that the trigger mechanism is located between an outer wall part and a middle wall of the container part, said pivot being mounted in the middle wall and in said outer wall portion.

Med særlig fordel kan udløsermekanismen ved papirkurven ifølge opfindelsen være udformet således, at afstanden mellem 15 nævnte drejetap og drejepunktet mellem førstnævnte ledarm og den anden ledarm er mindre end længden af førstnævnte ledarm, således at dette drejepunkt kan beskrive en bue eller et cirkelslag med drejetappen som centrum mellem en øverste position - svarende til, at bunddelen enten er placeret ud for 20 bunden af beholderdelen - eller i en nederste position - svarende til, at bunddelen er placeret lodret nedhængende med bunden af beholderd'elen helt åben, dvs. svarende henholdsvis til lukket og åben position af bunddelen.With particular advantage, the trigger mechanism of the recycle bin according to the invention may be designed such that the distance between said pivot pin and the pivot point between the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm is less than the length of the first pivot arm, so that this pivot point can describe an arc or circular stroke with the pivot pin. the center between an upper position - corresponding to the bottom portion being positioned either off the bottom of the container portion - or in a lower position - corresponding to the bottom portion being vertically suspended with the bottom of the container portion fully open, ie. corresponding respectively to the closed and open position of the bottom part.

I en foretrukken udførelsesform er førstnævnte ledarm udfor-25 met med en krum øvre ende, således at drejeleddet med den anden, kortere ledarm kan indtage en øvre dødpunktsstilling bagved/over drejetappen, idet denne fortrinsvis er placeret ca. midt på en smal sidevæg af beholderdelen oven for dreje-forbindelsen mellem den modsatte ende af førstnævnte ledarm og 30 bunddelen.In a preferred embodiment, the first articulated arm is formed with a curved upper end, so that the pivot joint with the second, shorter articulated arm can assume an upper dead center position behind / above the pivot, which is preferably located approx. in the middle of a narrow side wall of the container portion above the pivotal connection between the opposite end of the first articulated arm and the bottom portion.

FIG. 1 - seen from the front - and with closed bottom part.

Den i figurerne 1 - 3 viste papirkurv 2 er fremstillet i gal vaniseret stålplade og består af en beholderdel 4 udformet i 10 et stykke ud fra et pladesvøb, der er bukket i den viste facon med en profileret forside 6 og en lodret, åben samling 8 midt på en bagside 10, idet pladesvøbet ved bagsidesamlingen 8 kun er forbundet med en øvre, tragtformet topplade 12 samt ved hjalp af et midterste rørstykke 14 af et antal tilsvaren-15 de rørstykker, der er fastsvejst forneden på indersiden af bagsiden 10, og som tjener som hængseldele for en bunddel eller bundlem 16, der således langs en langsidekant er hængsel-forbundet med beholderdelen 4, idet bundlemmen 16 er forsynet med tilsvarende rørstykker 18, der er fastsvejst til oversiden 20 af bundlemmen 16. Rørstykkerne 14 og 18 er efterfølgende forbundet indbyrdes ved hjælp af hængseltappe 20, der efter montage er fikseret ved deformation af endedele af rørstykkerne 14, 18.The Recycle Bin 2 shown in Figs. 1-3 is made of galvanized steel plate and consists of a container portion 4 formed in a piece from a plate wrapper which is bent in the shape shown with a profiled front 6 and a vertical open joint 8. in the middle of a back side 10, the plate wrap at the back assembly 8 being connected only to an upper, funnel-shaped top plate 12, and by means of a middle tube piece 14 of a number of corresponding tubes welded to the bottom of the back side 10 and which serves as hinge parts for a bottom member or base member 16, which is thus hingedly connected to the container member along a long side edge, the base member 16 being provided with corresponding pipe pieces 18 which are welded to the upper side 20 of the base member 16. The pipe members 14 and 18 are subsequently connected. by means of hinge pins 20 which, after mounting, are fixed by deformation of end portions of the pipe pieces 14, 18.

Toppladen 12, der er forbundet med pladesvøbet/beholderdelen 25 4 ved hjælp af punktsvejsninger, er udformet med en central aflang ifyldningsåbning 22. I afstand indenfor en smalsidevæg 24 af beholderdelen 4 er der parallelt med smalsidevæggen 24 anbragt en mellemvæg 26, der ved punktsvejsning er fastgjort til for- og bagsiderne af beholderdelen 4, og som har en noget 30 mindre højde end højden af smalsidevæggen 24. Midt på denne og ca. 3/4 del oppe er anbragt en udløser/betjeningsmekanisme 28 for bundlemmen 16, idet en vandret drejetap 30, der er drejeligt lejret i mellemvæggen 26, og som rager ud gennem en sty- 4The top plate 12, which is connected to the plate wrapper / container part 25 4 by spot welding, is formed with a central elongate filling opening 22. At a distance within a narrow side wall 24 of the container part 4, an intermediate wall 26 is arranged parallel to the narrow side wall 24. attached to the front and back sides of the container part 4, which has a somewhat lesser height than the height of the narrow side wall 24. In the middle of this and approx. 3/4 of the top is provided a release / operating mechanism 28 for the bottom flap 16, a horizontal pivot pin 30 pivotally mounted in the intermediate wall 26 projecting through a control 4.

reåbning i smalsidevæggen 24, er drejningsstift forbundet med en kort ledarm 32. Denne er modsat drejetappen 30 drejeligt forbundet med en længere ledarm 34, der igen er drejeligt forbundet med bundlemmen 16.re-opening in the narrow side wall 24, the pivot pin is connected to a short articulator 32. This is pivotally opposed to the pivot 30 by a longer articulator 34, which in turn is pivotally connected to the bottom flap 16.

5 Bundlemmen 16 er til formålet ved en kortside forsynet med en opstående stiver 36 i form af et stykke fladjern, der er fastsvejst til oversiden af bundlemmen 16, og som ca. midt for denne er forsynet med et hængselhul for drejeforbindelsen med den nedre ende af den lange ledarm 34. I øvrigt kan der 10 med fordel forefindes to parallelle ledarme 34.For this purpose, the bottom flap 16 is provided on a short side with an upright strut 36 in the form of a piece of flat iron which is welded to the upper side of the bottom flap 16 and which is approx. in the middle of it is provided a hinge hole for the pivot joint with the lower end of the long articulated arm 34. Moreover, there can advantageously be two parallel articulated arms 34.

Som tydeligst vist i fig. 2 er den lange ledarm 34 udformet med en øvre krum endedel, således at udløsermekanismen - som vist i den punkterede stilling, der svarer til lukket bundlem 16 - kan indtage en udpræget selvholdende "dødpunktsstil- 15 ling", hvilket selvsagt er af betydning, når drejetappen 30 og hængselforbindelsen til bundlemmen 16 er placeret tilnærmelsesvist over hinanden - ca. midt for smalsidevæggen 24.As most clearly shown in FIG. 2, the long articulated arm 34 is formed with an upper curved end portion, so that the trigger mechanism - as shown in the dotted position corresponding to closed bottom lid 16 - can assume a distinctly self-sustaining "dead point" position, which is of course important when the pivot pin 30 and the hinge connection to the bottom flap 16 are positioned approximately one above the other - approx. in the middle of the narrow side wall 24.

Drejetappen 30 består i den viste udførelsesform af en såkaldt UNBRACO-skrue, der umiddelbart inden for hovedet er 20 forsynet med en tværboring, hvori er anbragt en tværstift, der indgriber med et tværspor gennem et frihul i enden af den korte ledarm 32. Mellem den korte ledarm 32 og mellemvæggen 26 er anbragt en formstofskive 38, der tjener både som afstandsskive og friktionsskive, idet drejetappen 30 eller 25 UNBRACO-skruen spændes mod mellemvæggen 26, hvori den er drejeligt lejret ved hjælp af en møtrik 40, som yderligere er fikseret til drejetappen 30 ved hjælp af LOCK-TITE eller ved en svejsning.In the illustrated embodiment, the pivot pin 30 consists of a so-called UNBRACO screw which is provided immediately within the head 20 with a cross bore, in which is mounted a cross pin which engages a cross groove through a free hole at the end of the short guide arm 32. Between the short guide arm 32 and intermediate wall 26 are provided with a plastic washer 38 which serves as both spacer and friction disk, the pivot 30 or 25 of the UNBRACO screw being tightened against the intermediate wall 26, in which it is pivotally supported by a nut 40 which is further fixed to pivot 30 by means of LOCK-TITE or by welding.

Udløsermekanismen inklusiv ledarmene 32 og 34 er således an-30 bragt i mellemrummet mellem mellemvæggen 26 og smalsidevæggen 24 af beholderdelen, og drejetappen 30 eller rettere hovedet af UNBRACO-skruen er desuden styret i et frihul i smalside- , væggen 24, dvs. at betjenings- eller udløsermekanismen erThe release mechanism including the guide arms 32 and 34 is thus arranged in the space between the intermediate wall 26 and the narrow side wall 24 of the container part, and the pivot 30 or more straight the head of the UNBRACO screw is also guided in a free hole in the narrow side wall 24, ie. that the operating or release mechanism is
