Description

La présente invention est relative à un conteneur compartimenté pour la collecte sélective de déchets, notamment d'ordures ménagères.The present invention relates to a compartmentalized container for the selective collection of waste, in particular household waste.

On connaît déjà des conteneurs compartimentés qui permettent de collecter différentes catégories de déchets, notamment d'ordures ménagères en vue de leur recyclage.Compartmentalized containers are already known which make it possible to collect different categories of waste, in particular household waste for recycling.

De tels conteneurs sont classiquement vidés dans des camions qui effectuent régulièrement des tournées de ramassage.Such containers are conventionally emptied into trucks which regularly carry out collection rounds.

Certains camions de ramassage sont spécialement équipés pour vider des conteneurs compartimentés. Par exemple, un camion qui comporte deux volumes séparés par une cloison permet de vider des conteneurs à deux compartiments, chaque compartiment du conteneur se vidant dans le volume correspondant du camion.Some collection trucks are specially equipped to empty compartmentalized containers. For example, a truck which has two volumes separated by a partition makes it possible to empty containers with two compartments, each compartment of the container emptying into the corresponding volume of the truck.

Cette solution présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients, notamment celui de mobiliser pour la collecte des camions de ramassage qui sont inégalement remplis du fait que les quantités de déchets de chaque catégorie collectées par un même camion ne sont pas nécessairement égales.This solution has a certain number of drawbacks, notably that of mobilizing for the collection of pickup trucks which are unevenly filled because the quantities of waste of each category collected by the same truck are not necessarily equal.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, on a imaginé des conteneurs compartimentés aptes à être vidés dans un camion à un seul volume de collecte, le vidage de chaque conteneur s'effectuant en maintenant fermés des couvercles qui obturent les compartiments autres que celui que l'on désire vider.To overcome this drawback, compartmentalized containers have been devised capable of being emptied into a truck with a single collection volume, the emptying of each container being effected by keeping lids which close the compartments other than that which are closed. want to empty.

Toutefois, les conteneurs compartimentés connus comportent des mécanismes de verrouillage des couvercles dont la manoeuvre manuelle est longue et difficile.However, known compartmentalized containers include latch locking mechanisms whose manual operation is long and difficult.

La présente invention vise à fournir un conteneur compartimenté dans lequel le moyen de verrouillage des couvercles est facilement manoeuvrable à la main, et ce, d'une manière particulièrement rapide.The present invention aims to provide a compartmentalized container in which the lid locking means is easily maneuverable by hand, and this, in a particularly rapid manner.

Le conteneur selon l'invention est en outre d'un mode de réalisation simple et économique.The container according to the invention is also of a simple and economical embodiment.

La présente invention a pour objet un conteneur pour la collecte sélective d'ordures ménagères comportant une pluralité de compartiments fermés chacun par un couvercle et des moyens de verrouillage permettant de maintenir individuellement lesdits couvercles en position fermée lors du basculement du conteneur, caractérisé par le fait que les moyens de verrouillage d'au moins deux couvercles de compartiments contigüs sont constitués par une pièce de blocage montée pivotante sur le conteneur autour d'un axe sensiblement perpendiculaire au plan des couvercles, ladite pièce de blocage étant apte à pivoter entre une position où elle se trouve au-dessus de l'un des deux couvercles, et une position où elle se trouve au-dessus de l'autre couvercle.The subject of the present invention is a container for the selective collection of household waste comprising a plurality of compartments each closed by a cover and locking means making it possible to individually maintain said covers in the closed position when the container is tilted, characterized by the fact that the locking means of at least two contiguous compartment covers are constituted by a blocking piece pivotally mounted on the container about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the covers, said blocking piece being able to pivot between a position where it is located above one of the two covers, and a position where it is located above the other cover.

Avantageusement, la pièce de blocage se présente sous la forme d'une poignée allongée dont une extrémité est montée pivotante sur le conteneur tandis que son autre extrémité, qui est libre, peut être déplacée au-dessus de l'un ou l'autre des couvercles.Advantageously, the blocking piece is in the form of an elongated handle, one end of which is pivotally mounted on the container while its other end, which is free, can be moved above one or other of the covers.

Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, la pièce de blocage peut également être positionnée entre les deux couvercles de sorte qu'elle permet l'ouverture simultanée desdits deux couvercles lors du basculement du conteneur.In a particular embodiment, the blocking piece can also be positioned between the two covers so that it allows the said two covers to be opened simultaneously during the tilting of the container.

Selon l'invention, chaque pièce de blocage pivote en demeurant dans un plan parallèle au plan des couvercles, en se trouvant en permanence en appui soit contre l'un des couvercles, soit contre une surface plane située entre lesdits couvercles.According to the invention, each blocking piece pivots while remaining in a plane parallel to the plane of the covers, while being in permanent abutment either against one of the covers, or against a flat surface situated between said covers.

Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, deux couvercles contigüs du conteneur sont articulés sur une même charnière, la pièce de blocage correspondante étant montée pivotante sur la charnière autour d'un axe perpendiculaire à l'axe de ladite charnière.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, two contiguous covers of the container are articulated on the same hinge, the corresponding blocking part being pivotally mounted on the hinge about an axis perpendicular to the axis of said hinge.

Selon une variante préférée de ce mode de réalisation, le conteneur ne comporte que deux compartiments qui sont séparés par une cloison verticale située dans sa partie médiane, en dessous de la charnière commune des couvercles.According to a preferred variant of this embodiment, the container has only two compartments which are separated by a vertical partition located in its middle part, below the common hinge of the covers.

Dans cette variante, le conteneur ne comporte qu'une seule pièce de blocage qui est apte à être pivotée pour verrouiller l'un ou l'autre des deux couvercles, ou pour les libérer tous les deux.In this variant, the container has only one blocking part which is capable of being pivoted to lock one or the other of the two covers, or to release them both.

Selon une autre variante, le conteneur comporte une pluralité de compartiments dont les couvercles sont appariés en étant articulés deux-à-deux autour d'une charnière commune, une pièce de blocage étant prévue sur la charnière commune de deux couvercles ainsi appariés.According to another variant, the container comprises a plurality of compartments, the covers of which are matched by being hinged in pairs around a common hinge, a blocking piece being provided on the common hinge of two covers thus paired.

Avantageusement, deux couvercles appariés d'un conteneur selon l'une des deux variantes ci-dessus comportent, au voisinage de leur charnière commune, une bavette qui s'étend entre les deux couvercles le long de la charnière et en dessous de celle-ci.Advantageously, two matched covers of a container according to one of the two variants above comprise, in the vicinity of their common hinge, a flap which extends between the two covers along the hinge and below the latter. .

Cette bavette permet, lors du vidage d'un conteneur, de protéger la charnière des ordures qui pourraient venir s'y loger.This flap makes it possible, when emptying a container, to protect the hinge from the garbage which could come to lodge there.

Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention, on va en décrire maintenant un mode de réalisation pris comme exemple et donné à titre non limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en élévation d'un conteneur selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la figure 1,
  • la figure 3 est une vue analogue à la figure 2 montrant les différentes positions de la pièce de blocage,
  • la figure 4A représente le conteneur en cours de vidage dans une première position de la pièce de blocage, et
  • la figure 4B est une vue analogue à la figure 4A montrant le vidage du conteneur, la pièce de blocage se trouvant dans une seconde position de verrouillage.
In order to better understand the invention, we will now describe an embodiment taken as an example and given without limitation with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an elevation view of a container according to an embodiment of the invention,
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 2 showing the different positions of the locking piece,
  • FIG. 4 A represents the container being emptied in a first position of the blocking part, and
  • Figure 4 B is a view similar to Figure 4 A showing the emptying of the container, the blocking part being in a second locking position.

Le conteneur 1 représenté sur le dessin présente extérieurement la forme d'un bac roulant traditionnel à deux roues.The container 1 shown in the drawing externally has the shape of a traditional two-wheeled rolling bin.

Il repose sur des roues 2 placées d'un seul côté de sa partie inférieure. Des poignées 3 permettent de déplacer le conteneur 1 en l'inclinant légèrement.It rests on wheels 2 placed on one side of its lower part. Handles 3 allow the container 1 to be moved by tilting it slightly.

La partie supérieure du conteneur 1 comporte, à la manière connue, une collerette périphérique externe 4 qui renforce la rigidité du conteneur et permet le basculement de ce dernier dans un camion de collecte (non représenté) au moyen d'un dispositif de préhension qui s'engage sous le bord 5 de la collerette 4.The upper part of the container 1 comprises, in known manner, an external peripheral flange 4 which reinforces the rigidity of the container and allows the tilting of the latter in a collection truck (not shown) by means of a gripping device which s engages under the edge 5 of the collar 4.

Conformément à l'invention, le conteneur 1 comporte deux compartiments internes 6 et 7, qui sont séparés par une cloison plane verticale 1a.According to the invention, the container 1 has two internal compartments 6 and 7, which are separated by a vertical flat partition 1 a .

Dans le cas présent, la cloison 1a s'étend parallèlement au bord 5 de la collerette 4.In the present case, the partition 1 a extends parallel to the edge 5 of the flange 4.

Selon l'invention, chaque compartiment 6, 7 du conteneur est fermé à sa partie supérieure par un couvercle 8, 9.According to the invention, each compartment 6, 7 of the container is closed at its upper part by a cover 8, 9.

Les deux couvercles 8, 9 sont articulés autour d'une charnière commune 10 qui est placée à la verticale de la cloison 1a.The two covers 8, 9 are articulated around a common hinge 10 which is placed vertical to the partition 1 a .

On voit sur la figure 2 que chaque couvercle 8, respectivement 9, est solidaire de deux pattes 8a, respectivement 9a, qui sont traversées par un axe unique 10a pour former la charnière commune des couvercles 8 et 9.It is seen from Figure 2 that each cover 8, respectively 9, is integral with two legs 8a, 9a respectively, which are traversed by a single axis 10 a to form the common hinge of the covers 8 and 9.

On remarque que les pattes 8a, 9a des couvercles 8,9 sont conçues symétriquement de sorte que les deux couvercles 8 et 9 sont identiques et interchangeables.Note that the legs 8 a , 9 has covers 8, 9 are designed symmetrically so that the two covers 8 and 9 are identical and interchangeable.

La partie centrale 11a de la charnière 10 située entre les pattes 8a, 9a, est constituée par une surface plane qui arrive à effleurement des faces supérieures des deux couvercles 8 et 9.The central part 11 a of the hinge 10 situated between the lugs 8 a , 9 a , is constituted by a flat surface which comes to touch the upper faces of the two covers 8 and 9.

Conformément à l'invention, une pièce de blocage 12 est montée sur le conteneur 1 entre les deux couvercles 8 et 9.According to the invention, a blocking piece 12 is mounted on the container 1 between the two covers 8 and 9.

La pièce de blocage 12 illustrée se présente sous la forme d'une poignée allongée qui est montée pivotante à l'une de ses extrémités 12a sur la surface plane 11a de la charnière 10, autour d'un axe vertical 13.The locking piece 12 illustrated is in the form of an elongated handle which is pivotally mounted at one of its ends 12 a on the flat surface 11 a of the hinge 10, around a vertical axis 13.

L'autre extrémité 12b de la pièce de blocage 12 se trouve en appui sur la surface 11a, dans la position représentée à la figure 2.The other end 12 b of the blocking piece 12 is supported on the surface 11 a , in the position shown in FIG. 2.

La pièce de blocage 12, par son extrémité libre 12b, exerce en permanence sur sa surface d'appui une force dirigée vers le bas.The locking piece 12, by its free end 12 b , permanently exerts on its bearing surface a force directed downwards.

Ainsi, on comprend que suivant la position de la pièce de blocage 12, l'un des couvercles 8, 9 est soit laissé libre de s'ouvrir lors du basculement du conteneur, soit verrouillé en position fermée.Thus, it is understood that depending on the position of the locking piece 12, one of the covers 8, 9 is either left free to open when the container is tilted, or locked in the closed position.

En effet, on voit sur la figure 4A, qui correspond à la position de la pièce de blocage 12 représentée en traits pleins sur la figure 3, que le couvercle 9 s'ouvre et permet le vidage du compartiment 7 lors du basculement du conteneur 1.Indeed, we see in Figure 4 A , which corresponds to the position of the locking piece 12 shown in solid lines in Figure 3, that the cover 9 opens and allows the emptying of the compartment 7 during the tilting of the container 1.

Dans la position de la pièce de blocage 12 représentée en traits mixtes sur la figure 3, le couvercle 9 est verrouillé en position fermée et le couvercle 8 est libre de s'ouvrir pour permettre le vidage du compartiment 8, comme représenté sur la figure 4B.In the position of the locking piece 12 shown in phantom in Figure 3, the cover 9 is locked in the closed position and the cover 8 is free to open to allow the emptying of the compartment 8, as shown in Figure 4 B.

En position centrale de la pièce de blocage 12, comme représenté sur la figure 2, les couvercles 8 et 9 sont tous les deux libres de s'ouvrir pour permettre le vidage de la totalité du conteneur 1.In the central position of the blocking piece 12, as shown in FIG. 2, the covers 8 and 9 are both free to open to allow the entire container 1 to be emptied.

On remarque que, dans cette position, l'extrémité 12b de la pièce de blocage 12 est maintenue en position grâce à une nervure 12c qui vient coopérer avec une rainure réalisée dans une partie saillante 11b de la charnière 10, solidaire de la surface 11a.Note that, in this position, the end 12 b of the blocking piece 12 is held in position by a rib 12 c which cooperates with a groove made in a protruding part 11 b of the hinge 10, integral with the surface 11 a .

Une bavette 14 est assujettie aux deux couvercles 8 et 9 le long de la charnière 10. Cette bavette 14 permet, lors du vidage d'un compartiment, de protéger la charnière 10 des déchets qui pourraient venir s'y loger, comme représenté sur les figures 4a et 4b.A flap 14 is secured to the two covers 8 and 9 along the hinge 10. This flap 14 allows, during the emptying of a compartment, to protect the hinge 10 from the waste which could be housed there, as shown in FIGS. 4 a and 4 b .

On comprend que, dans le conteneur qui vient d'être décrit, le verrouillage en position fermée de l'un des couvercles 8,9 peut s'effectuer très aisément par l'opérateur qui est chargé d'approcher le conteneur du dispositif de préhension du camion de collecte.It is understood that, in the container which has just been described, the locking in the closed position of one of the covers 8, 9 can be carried out very easily by the operator who is responsible for approaching the container of the gripping device. from the collection truck.

En outre, on remarque que le dispositif selon l'invention autorise le vidage simultané des deux compartiments du conteneur, ce qui permet d'utiliser le conteneur selon l'invention de manière traditionnelle en remplissant ses deux compartiments avec des déchets recyclables de même catégorie ou avec des déchets à détruire.In addition, it is noted that the device according to the invention allows the simultaneous emptying of the two compartments of the container, which makes it possible to use the container according to the invention in the traditional way by filling its two compartments with recyclable waste of the same category or with waste to destroy.

Il est bien entendu que le mode de réalisation qui vient d'être décrit ne présente aucun caractère limitatif et qu'il pourra recevoir toutes modifications désirables sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.It is understood that the embodiment which has just been described has no limiting character and that it can receive any desirable modifications without departing from the scope of the invention.

En particulier, on comprend que la cloison verticale 1a qui vient d'être décrite pourrait être disposée d'une toute autre manière à l'intérieur du conteneur, et notamment perpendiculairement au bord 5 de la collerette 4.In particular, it is understood that the vertical partition 1 a which has just been described could be arranged in a completely different manner inside the container, and in particular perpendicular to the edge 5 of the flange 4.
