Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dustpan housing.
  • the dustpan is usually placed outside the litter container; thus, insufficient or lacking cleaning at the end of the use can cause the presence of litter residues outside the container, with consequent hygienic problems.
  • the idea at the basis of the invention is that of providing a litter container wherein a dustpan may be housed without coming into contact - when put into the housing - with the litter present into the container.
  • the container of the present invention comprises a cover which, in closed position, leaves a substantially horizontal access free, intended for inserting a dustpan.
  • the container is thus designed so as to house a dustpan inside it, in a simple, functional and hygienic way. Moreover, the dustpan is not in direct contact with the litter.
  • the access intended for inserting the dustpan is obtained in a wall of the container.
  • the access is obtained into the cover.
  • Said embodiment is particularly - but not exclusively - applied to containers provided with a pair of superimposed covers, wherein the space obtained between the two covers is adapted to house various accessories, such as, typically, bin liners.
  • the housing intended for the dustpan is obtained under the cover which first closes the container.
  • the housing adapted to house the dustpan in a substantially horizontal position, is obtained into the inner wall of said cover.
  • the housing of the dustpan is provided inside the container, under its cover, that is to say, in the portion where the possibility of contact between dustpan and litter present in the container is minimum.
  • the housing comprises two shelves associated to the inner wall of the cover, said shelves being substantially parallel to one another and to the direction of insertion of the dustpan into the housing.
  • Said shelves integral with the inner wall of the cover of the container, are advantageously adapted to serve as guide and support for the introduction of the dustpan into the container.
  • said housing is associated to a dustpan cleaning device.
  • the dustpan cleaning device comprises a tongue mounted on a rotating horizontal support arranged in a substantially orthogonal way with respect to the direction of insertion of the dustpan into the housing, mobile from a raised rest position to a lowered cleaning position, wherein the tongue is substantially in contact with the dustpan inserted into the housing.
  • the tongue retracts into a raised position, whereas upon its extraction, the tongue comes down, up to touching the dustpan surface so as to allow cleaning it.
  • the rotating support is provided with a locking device for holding said tongue in cleaning position during the extraction of the dustpan from the cover.
  • the locking device of the rotation of the support which activates when the dustpan is extracted from the cover of the container, allows locking the tongue in a substantially orthogonal position with respect to the dustpan, thus allowing the removal - through scraping - of possible residues present on its surface.
  • a preferred embodiment provides for the application, on at least one outer wall of the container, of a coupling system adapted to support a broom in a substantially vertical position.
  • the lower portion of the container is provided with a dust collector shelf.
  • reference numeral 101 indicates as a whole a litter container according to the invention.
  • Container 101 comprises a cover 102 wherein there is provided a housing 103, adapted to house a dustpan 104.
  • Housing 103 includes two L-shaped shelves 105a, 105b, parallel to one another, and a bearing wall 105c, all integral with an inner wall 117 of cover 102.
  • the access for inserting dustpan 104, when cover 102 is closed, comprises, in the illustrated example, apertures 118 and 119 arranged in the front side of container 101, respectively in the front portion of cover 102 and in the upper portion of a front wall 106 of container 101.
  • Dustpan 104 can be housed into housing 103 both in straight or upside down position indifferently.
  • the container 101 is provided with a coupling system 109, in se conventional, for supporting in a vertical position a broom 110, preferably with folding handle.
  • a coupling system 109 in se conventional, for supporting in a vertical position a broom 110, preferably with folding handle.
  • a dust collector shelf 111 In the lower portion of wall 108, at said coupling system 109, there is obtained a dust collector shelf 111.
  • a container 201 provided with a pair of covers, an inner cover 202 and an outer cover 212.
  • the illustrated dustpan 204 is provided with a grip handle 205 in place of the common handle.
  • an aperture 207 obtained in the front side of cover 202, thus allowing inserting dustpan 204 into housing 203 independently of the position taken by the outer cover 212.
  • the housing 203 is associated to a dustpan cleaning device 214, comprising a tongue 216, suitably sized on the basis of the geometric characteristics of dustpan 214.
  • Tongue 216 preferably made of rubber or of other flexible material, is mounted on a horizontal pivot 215, turnably carried by walls 222 of cover 202; on the same pivot 215, behind wall 222, there is also mounted a gusset plate 220, provided with a stake 221 protruding into housing 203 through an arched slit 223 formed into wall 222.
  • the dustpan (indicated with reference numeral 204b as it is different from dustpan 204 of figure 2) has side walls with increasing height starting from the litter-collection side; then, said side walls are divergent towards the litter-collection side, so that dustpan 204b has a maximum width at the litter-collection side, and minimum width at the handle.
  • Tongue 216 is mobile between a raised rest position (non represented) and a substantially vertical lowered cleaning position, such as that one illustrated in figures 3-5, so as to be in contact with dustpan 204b and allow its cleaning through scraping when the latter is extracted from housing 203.
  • the vertical position of tongue 216 causes the removal of possible residues of dirt from the surface of dustpan 204b.
  • the maintenance of the vertical position of tongue 216 during the extraction of dustpan 204b is guaranteed by the engagement of the stake 221 into the slit 223.
