Description

DESCRIPTION

Trash can

The invention relates to a dustbin according to the preamble of claim 1 of the patent.

Such dustbins have been used in a multitude of applications and in different configurations for decades, for example to collect hair in a hair salon, dust and rubbish in a home, or debris on a construction site. This requires the debris to be swept up and then dumped into a suitable bin, either manually or with the aid of a dustpan. As soon as the bucket is filled with waste products, it can be emptied into an even larger container.

A drawback in these known dustbins has turned out to be that the opening through which the waste products must be dumped into the dustbin is separated from the floor on which the waste products are normally present. Consequently, the waste products must be picked up from the ground and transported or moved in the direction of the bucket opening. Waste products are often diverted during such transfer operations and fall back to the ground.

Also, due to the lack of stability, such buckets can tip over if, for example, waste products are swept away with the help of a broom and the broom hits the bucket causing it to fall.

This has the disadvantageous result that the waste products fall out of the bucket and again have to be swept up and returned to the bucket.

Other waste products consisting of a bucket and a filling chute are known from WO 2016/149275 A1, US 2003/214141 A1, US 2018/032445 A1 and DE 19539387 A1. In these, the filling chutes are designed as individual parts and can be detachably attached to the buckets.

Therefore, the object of the invention is to develop a waste bin of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that, on the one hand, it has a high level of stability, regardless of its positioning, and, on the other hand, that the bin bin is suitable, regardless of its location, to reliably collect the debris swept from the floor and into the bin.

This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the part which is identified in patent claim 1.

Further advantageous developments of the invention result from the dependent claims.

Due to the fact that in some areas in the dustbin a ramp is formed like a filling funnel, that the outer wall of the dustbin and the ramp pass at an angle a of 110° to 170° to each other, they are It achieves that the waste products can be put into the inside of the dustbin through the ramp, since the dustbin is attached to the floor through the ramp so that the waste products can reach the inside of the bin garbage straight through the ramp and stored there; moreover, the open angle between the outer wall of the dustbin and the chute does not hinder the filling operations, so that waste products with completely different sticking or eddy parameters can move on them. Since the material accumulation in the dustbin below the middle level is set to be greater than the material accumulation in the dustbin and the ramp above the middle level, greater stability of the dustbin is ensured.

Since the ramp and the rubbish bin each have a flat bearing area which passes coaxially or flush with each other, both the rubbish bin and the ramp are secured against twisting or side slipping when the rubbish bin is tipped over. The front face of the ramp and the flat support area, which are arranged on the waste bin, in particular on its exterior, support the waste bin and the ramp perpendicular to their longitudinal axis. Therefore, even if the dustbin or the ramp is hit or kicked from the side, they do not slip, so that waste products already inside the dustbin cannot fall out of it. Advantageously, however, the dustbin and the chute can slide in the direction of their longitudinal axis when the waste is swept up, so that no waste is interposed between the chute and the ground, since it enters the dustbin with a broom during the next sweeping operation.

If the dustbin and ramp are installed so that the longitudinal axis of the dustbin is perpendicular to the ground, the dustbin has greater stability, since the center of gravity of the dustbin and ramp is located above below average level. The accumulation of material at the bottom of the dustbin, which is thus related to and passing directly adjacent to the ground, is significantly greater than the accumulation of material in the dustbin above the center point or midplane. formed by the ramp and into the garbage can.

In order to be able to hold, lift or tilt the dustbin manually, a handle is formed on or attached to it, which is advantageously provided in front of the ramp because this enables the dustbin to be tilted around of a virtual pivot axis, so the waste product stuffed inside the bin does not escape out through the chute and can be dumped into a larger bin, for example.

When the dustbin and the chute rest together on the ground, a bulge is provided between the chute and the interior of the dustbin, through which the waste product already introduced into the dustbin is retained, so that it cannot easily reach the outside through the ramp towards the ground. This text was assumed by the DPMA from original sources. Does not contain drawings. The presentation of tables and formulas can be unsatisfactory. Furthermore, by means of the bulge it is advantageously achieved that the interior of the dustbin can be filled to approximately 2/3, even if the dustbin is tilted towards the ground.

Due to the open angle that passes between the ramp and the outside of the bin, a stable position of the bin and the bin is also achieved and, on the other hand, a high bending strength is achieved, so that the bin bin and ramp do not break even if unintentional loading occurs, as the ramp moves elastically.

In the drawing a dustbin according to the invention is shown, which is explained below. In detail drawing shows:

Figure 1 shows a waste bin with a ramp required for it, in a perspective view,

Figure 2 shows the dustbin according to Figure 1, in an upturned state so that it can be filled with waste products,

Figure 3a shows an enlarged section of the garbage can according to figure 1, in zone X and

Figure 3b shows the garbage can according to figure 3a, in section.

In figures 1, 2, 3a and 3b can be seen a dustbin 1 that can be filled with waste products 7, for example in the form of leaves, paper, hair, debris or the like, in order to collect these waste products 7 from a soil 2 in a way that saves time and to transfer to a larger garbage container.

The garbage can 1 has a perimeter wall 3 by which the interior of the garbage can 1 is enclosed. Between the wall 3 a floor 8 is provided which passes in front of a single opening 6. In the area of the individual opening 6 a ramp 11 is formed which projects outwards. The angle a formed by the dustbin 1 and the ramp 11 is shown schematically in the figures and can be between 110 and 170°. Thus, by means of such a dimensioned open angle a high stability of the dustbin 1 and the ramp 11 is achieved, since both the dustbin 1 and the ramp 11 rest on the substrate 2 and the contact areas respective ones are separated from each other in a corresponding way. In addition, the face of the ramp 11 provided with the reference number 12 is to be considered as the support area 13. Furthermore, on the outside 5 of the wall 3 of the garbage can 1 there is a flat support area 14 and the flat front face 12 and its support area 13 as well as the support area 14 of the dustbin 1 pass coaxially or in alignment with each other, so that the dustbin 1 in its inclined position rests on the support area 14 and the ramp 11 by means of its bearing area 13 on the substrate 2. Therefore, even if the dustbin 1 or the ramp 11 is inadvertently kicked or hit, the dustbin 1 will not roll and the waste product 7 inserted into he will not slide out of trash can 1 to the outside.

In order to be able to raise, lower, tip over or pour out the rubbish bin 1, a handle 15 is integrally formed on it, which is designed as a U-shaped profile. The handle 15 is provided opposite the ramp 11, so that the bin The garbage can 1 can be turned around a virtual pivot axis in order to be able to fill the waste product 7 inserted therein via the chute 11 into a garbage can.

In order to prevent the dumped waste product 7 from falling laterally next to the chute 11, a frame 16 is formed on it which is directed towards the inside of the garbage bin 1. Consequently, the frames 16 which pass laterally and parallel Together they prevent the waste product 7 to be filled from reaching the side next to the ramp 11, but instead it is led inside the rubbish bin 1.

A bulge 17 in the form of a convex curved elevation is provided between the chute 11 and the dustbin 1, so that the waste product already inserted into the dustbin 1 cannot easily return to the chute 11 through this bulge. 17.

The stability of the rubbish bin 1 is improved in the upright state thanks to the fact that the base 8 according to figures 3a and 3b passes at a certain distance from the ground 2, and that a rim 18 is formed around the perimeter of the base 8, which serves as a ring of dustbin holder 1.

Consequently, laterally next to the base 8 passes a rib which is to be considered as a bearing area. In addition, the garbage can 1 points below a middle level 22 which is formed by half the distances between the garbage can 1 and the ramp 11 above the middle level 22. Consequently, the floor 2 is facing a center of gravity 21 which is formed by the sum of the accumulations of material from the garbage can 1 and the ramp 11. Due to the low center of gravity 21 of the general structure of the dustbin 1 and the ramp 11 facing the ground 2, the dustbin 1 is kept securely on the ground 2.

The longitudinal axis 23, on which the center of gravity 21 is located and passes the median plane 22 perpendicular to it, can be translated into two different positions; more precisely, the longitudinal axis 23 passes perpendicular to the ground 2, on the one hand, and on the other, inclined towards it, as can be seen in particular in figure 2.

The dustbin 1, the ramp 11 and the handle 15 formed in the dustbin 1 are made of the same material in a plastic injection molding process, so that the entire structure of the dustbin 1 is unified, the ramp 11 and handle 15.

On the front face 12 of the ramp 11 a rubber lip can be provided to direct the waste products to be swept directly onto the ramp 11 so that they do not come between the ramp 11 and the ground 2 . In addition, the dustbin 1 and the ramp 11 automatically slide slightly in the sweeping direction when a broom hits them, so that the front face 12 slides on the floor 2 and with this the waste products 7 are constantly placed in the space in front of the ramp 11. The opening angle a between the outer side 14 of the garbage can 1 and the ramp 11 determines the angle of inclination a of the garbage can 1 in the tilted state.
