Description

La présente invention est relative à un bac roulant, en particulier en matière plastique, pour la collecte des déchets, en particulier des ordures ménagères.The present invention relates to a rolling bin, in particular of plastic, for collecting waste, in particular household waste.

Plus particulièrement la présente invention concerne un bac comportant une cuve montée sur roulettes et un couvercle monté pivotant par rapport à la cuve grâce à des bras latéraux solidaires du couvercle et articulés chacun par une extrémité sur un axe solidaire d'une paroi latérale de la cuve, des ressorts étant disposés entre les bras latéraux du couvercle et la cuve de manière à permettre un retour du couvercle en position de fermeture. Un bac de ce type est décrit dans DE-A-3007507.More particularly, the present invention relates to a tank comprising a tank mounted on casters and a cover mounted pivoting relative to the tank thanks to lateral arms secured to the cover and each articulated by one end on an axis secured to a side wall of the tank. , springs being arranged between the lateral arms of the cover and the tank so as to allow the cover to return to the closed position. A bin of this type is described in DE-A-3007507.

De tels bacs comportent différents organes ou poignées de préhension pour leur manipulation au cours des différentes phases d'utilisation.Such bins have different gripping members or handles for handling them during the different phases of use.

Ainsi, de tels bacs comportent sur la cuve, généralement au voisinage de la partie supérieure de celle-ci, des poignées de préhension utilisées pour faire rouler le bac sur le sol.Thus, such bins have on the tank, generally in the vicinity of the upper part thereof, gripping handles used to roll the tank on the ground.

Il a déjà été prévu de réaliser de telles poignées de préhension sur les faces frontale et arrière du bac.It has already been planned to produce such grips on the front and rear faces of the container.

En outre, pour certaines phases de manipulation, par exemple pour le rangement du bac dans les locaux vide-ordures ou pour amener les bacs pour leur vidage sur un dispositif lève conteneur prévu à l'arrière d'un camion benne de collecte d'ordures ménagères, les bacs ont été pourvus de poignées sur les faces latérales de la cuve.In addition, for certain handling phases, for example for storing the bin in garbage dump rooms or for bringing the bins for emptying onto a container lifting device provided at the rear of a dump truck for collecting garbage household, the bins were provided with handles on the side faces of the tank.

Or, ces poignées latérales se trouvent dans le trajet de déplacement par pivotement du couvercle entre sa position fermée et sa ou ses positions d'ouverture. Des accidents ont été ainsi constatés lors de la manipulation des bacs par suite de l'effet de cisaillement du couvercle sur la main du manipulateur tenant le bac lors du déplacement du couvercle.However, these lateral handles are in the movement path by pivoting the cover between its closed position and its open position (s). Accidents have thus been observed during the handling of the containers as a result of the shearing effect of the cover on the hand of the manipulator holding the container during the movement of the cover.

Pour réaliser l'ouverture du couvercle il a par ailleurs déjà été prévu de ménager des moyens de préhension sous forme d'évidements dans le couvercle au voisinage du bord d'extrémité frontale de celui-ci.To make the opening of the cover, provision has also already been made to provide gripping means in the form of recesses in the cover in the vicinity of the front end edge thereof.

Du fait de la hauteur des bacs, la position de ces évidements ne permet pas à l'utilisateur de tenir le couvercle et d'en contrôler la course jusqu'aux positions d'ouverture du couvercle dans lesquelles l'extrémité frontale du couvercle se trouve très écartée du bord frontal de la cuve.Due to the height of the containers, the position of these recesses does not allow the user to hold the cover and control its travel to the open positions of the cover in which the front end of the cover is located. very far from the front edge of the tank.

La présente invention se propose de fournir un bac qui, par des moyens particulièrement simples et économiques, évite les inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus des bacs actuellement connus.The present invention proposes to provide a container which, by particularly simple and economical means, avoids the drawbacks mentioned above of containers currently known.

Le bac selon la présente invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait qu'il comprend, sur chacune des faces latérales du couvercle, du voisinage du bord d'extrémité arrière de celui-ci, au moins un évidement de préhension réalisé dans la paroi du couvercle et de préférence délimité par deux nervures en saillie vers l'intérieur de la face du couvercle.The container according to the present invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises, on each of the side faces of the cover, in the vicinity of the rear end edge thereof, at least one gripping recess produced in the wall of the cover and preferably delimited by two ribs projecting towards the inside of the face of the cover.

Dans un mode particulier de réalisation, le ou les évidements sont disposés parallèlement à l'axe des bras du couvercle.In a particular embodiment, the recess or recesses are arranged parallel to the axis of the arms of the cover.

En variante, le ou les évidements peuvent être réalisés perpendiculairement à cet axe ou selon une autre direction par exemple horizontalement verticalement ou en oblique.As a variant, the recess (s) can be made perpendicular to this axis or in another direction, for example horizontally vertically or obliquely.

Afin de faciliter la préhension, l'une des nervures délimitant le ou chacun des évidements peut être de longueur plus importante que l'autre et recourbée à son extrémité.In order to facilitate gripping, one of the ribs delimiting the or each of the recesses may be of greater length than the other and curved at its end.

Selon l'invention, les évidements de préhension peuvent être réalisés au cours de l'opération de fabrication par moulage du couvercle du bac.According to the invention, the gripping recesses can be produced during the manufacturing operation by molding the cover of the tank.

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention on va maintenant en décrire à titre d'exemples nullement limitatifs différents modes de réalisation en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation latérale d'un bac selon l'invention.
  • la figure 2 est une coupe selon II-II de la figure 1,
  • les figures 3 à 7 illustrent différentes variantes de réalisation des organes de préhension du bac selon l'invention.
In order to better understand the invention, we will now describe, by way of non-limiting examples, various embodiments with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a container according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a section on II-II of FIG. 1,
  • Figures 3 to 7 illustrate different alternative embodiments of the gripping members of the tray according to the invention.

En se référant à la figure 1, on voit un bac selon l'invention qui comprend une cuve qui peut être métallique mais qui est de préférence réalisée en matière platique 1, de forme sensiblement parallélépipédique, montée sur des roulettes 2.Referring to FIG. 1, there is seen a container according to the invention which comprises a tank which may be metallic but which is preferably made of plastics material 1, of substantially parallelepiped shape, mounted on casters 2.

Sur chacune des faces latérales de la cuve 1 est articulé un couvercle présentant une face supérieure galbée 3 s'étendant entre un bord d'extrémité avant 4 et un bord d'extrémité arrière 5. Le couvercle 3 est articulé sur la cuve par des bras inclinés 6 montés pivotants au'voisinage de leurs extrémités 7 sur un axe (non représenté) solidaire de la paroi latérale de la cuve 1, un dispositif à ressorts permettant le positionnement et l'équilibrage du couvercle sur la cuve du bac étant monté entre lesdits bras 6 et les parois correspondantes de la cuve. Un tel dispositif à ressorts est par exemple décrit dans FR-A-2392892 de la société déposante.On each of the side faces of the tank 1 is articulated a cover having a curved upper face 3 extending between a front end edge 4 and a rear end edge 5. The cover 3 is articulated on the tank by arms inclined 6 pivotally mounted in the vicinity of their ends 7 on an axis (not shown) secured to the side wall of the tank 1, a spring device allowing the positioning and balancing of the cover on the tank of the tank being mounted between said arm 6 and the corresponding walls of the tank. Such a spring device is for example described in FR-A-2392892 of the applicant company.

Selon l'invention, il est prévu dans chacune des faces latérales 8 du couvercle 3, au moins un évidement de préhension 9 qui, comme on le voit sur la figure 2, est délimité par deux nervures 10 et 11 en saillie vers l'intérieur de la face latérale 8 du couvercle.According to the invention, there is provided in each of the lateral faces 8 of the cover 3, at least one gripping recess 9 which, as seen in FIG. 2, is delimited by two ribs 10 and 11 projecting inwards of the side face 8 of the cover.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, la nervure 10 est plus longue que le nervure 11 et est recourbée en 12 à son extrémité. Cette configuration de l'évidement 9 facilite la préhension et la manipulation du bac en assurant un bon guidage des doigts de l'utilisateur et une bonne prise.As seen in Figure 2, the rib 10 is longer than the rib 11 and is bent at 12 at its end. This configuration of the recess 9 facilitates the gripping and handling of the tray by ensuring good guidance of the user's fingers and a good grip.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, il est prévu un seul évidement 9 disposé parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal des bras 6, le long et au voisinage du bord d'extrémité incliné des bras 6.In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, a single recess 9 is provided, arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis of the arms 6, along and in the vicinity of the inclined end edge of the arms 6.

Dans la variante de la figure 3, il est prévu deux évidements identiques 19a, 19b disposés horizontalement.In the variant of Figure 3, there are two identical recesses 19a, 19b arranged horizontally.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 4, il est prévu un seul évidement 29 disposé parallèlement au bord d'extrémité incliné 13 des bras mais se différenciant de l'évidement 9 de la figure 1 par le fait que ses portées d'extrémités inférieure et supérieure sont horizontales et non pas perpendiculaires à l'axe des bras comme dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 1.In the embodiment of Figure 4, there is provided a single recess 29 arranged parallel ment to the inclined end edge 13 of the arms but which differs from the recess 9 in FIG. 1 by the fact that its spans of lower and upper ends are horizontal and not perpendicular to the axis of the arms as in the mode Figure 1.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 5, il est prévu deux évidements 39a, 39b disposés perpendiculairement au bord d'extrémité 13.In the embodiment of FIG. 5, two recesses 39a, 39b are provided, arranged perpendicular to the end edge 13.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 6, il est prévu deux évidements 49a, 49b, l'évidement 49a comportant une partie horizontale prolongée par une partie parallèle au bord d'extrémité 13, tandis que l'évidement 49b est disposé horizontalement.In the embodiment of Figure 6, there are two recesses 49a, 49b, the recess 49a having a horizontal portion extended by a portion parallel to the end edge 13, while the recess 49b is arranged horizontally.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 7, il est prévu deux évidements identiques 59a, 59b disposés verticalement.In the embodiment of Figure 7, there are two identical recesses 59a, 59b arranged vertically.

On comprend que grâce à la position des évidements de préhension selon l'invention, sur les faces latérales du couvercle, ces évidements de préhension peuvent servir pour saisir le bac et le faire rouler sur le sol et pour permettre les mouvements de pivotement désirés du couvercle.It is understood that thanks to the position of the gripping recesses according to the invention, on the lateral faces of the cover, these gripping recesses can be used to grip the container and make it roll on the ground and to allow the desired pivoting movements of the lid .

Pour permettre la manipulation du bac par ses faces principales avant 14 et arrière 15, il est prévu sur ces faces des poignées conventionnelles de préhension 16, en saillie des parois correspondantes de la cuve ainsi qu'une poignée de préhension sur chacune des faces latérales de la cuve 1.To allow the handling of the container by its main front 14 and rear 15 faces, there are provided on these faces conventional grip handles 16, projecting from the corresponding walls of the tank as well as a grip handle on each of the side faces of tank 1.
