Definitions

  • the invention relates to a waste container for mechanical waste collection, which has an openable lid equipped with at least one manually operated gate.
  • the waste containers of the prior art have a single lid, which practically opens only from one side and towards one direction.
  • the waste container is normally oriented so as to expose a frontal openable side adapted to perform the above opening operation always at the roadside.
  • the opening of such a container necessitates muscular power, whatever the material of the waste container or the lid may be. Furthermore, having opened the lid, the user is confronted with the undesirable bulk of waste.
  • the closing movement of the lid of the waste container is also quite inconvenient, not only because of the weight of the lid and the height of its handle, when it is open, but also because of the excessive volume of the waste that might hamper the closing of the lid, especially when the domed lid of the swing type opening process is employed.
  • Another object of the invention is to adapt the proposed waste container for usage with the already known mechanical waste collection systems and washers, since the design of the lid does not require any change on these systems.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rear perspective view of the waste container of the invention, with its basic parts, i.e. the generally rectangular housing, the lid and the manually operated gates.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same view of the waste container, as in Fig. 1, whilst a child is disposing of a household waste bag.
  • Fig. 3 shows a planar view of the top of the lid with the openings, whereupon the gates are mounted.
  • Fig. 4 shows a planar top view of a manually operated gate.
  • the waste container depicted in the drawings comprises a generally rectangular housing 1 with a pair of relatively longer sides and a pair of relatively shorter sides, a closed bottom end and an open upper end whereupon is rotatably mounted a correspondingly generally rectangular and substantially flat, manually and mechanically openable lid 2. It is also possible that a domed lid of curved configuration is employed and still be considered as "a generally rectangular lid”.
  • At least one and preferably a pair of openings 3 are provided on the lid 2, whereupon manually operated gates 4 of the same size are correspondingly symmetrically mounted. It is also possible that a different number of gates 4, of different size and of different, non-symmetrical arrangement on the lid may be employed.
  • the basic parts of the waste container are independently injection moulded plastic cast blocks.
  • Polyethylene of high molecular weight with stabilizers against polymerization from infrareds is preferably used.
  • the lid 2 of the waste container embodies the openings 3 for the respective desired number of gates 4 right from the beginning, without changing its compact form.
  • the unified lid i.e. the lid 2 with the gates 4 mounted thereupon, remains stable without warping, which would be detrimental to its durability and utility after a period of time.
  • Any of the parts of the container may alternatively be made from steel or other metal.
  • the gates 4 are mounted onto the corresponding openings 3 of the lid 2 of the waste container, each gate being provided with a handle means 5 and an arrangement of hinges 6, arranged in such a way that each handle means 5 is located at the proximity of each one of the relatively shorter sides of the container, whereas each one of the arrangement of hinges 6 is located transversely along the lid 2 and close to the middle thereof, so that the opening/closing operation of the gates 4 may be handily practiced with a pulling upwards and pushing downwards operation respectively, whilst the user stands at the sides or the rear of the waste container, opening operation being effected through rotation of the gate in the direction of the arrows (Fig. 1 or 2) towards the middle of the container.
  • the handle means 5 of each one of the gates 4 incorporates the male portion 7A and the rim of the corresponding opening 3 of the lid incorporates the female receiving portion 7B of a simple snapping mechanism, selected from a variety of snapping mechanisms known in the prior art, the said mechanism allowing safe closing and handy opening of the gate, without special muscular requirements.
  • the user only has to pull the handle means 5, whereby the snapping mechanism opens as the male portion 7A is disengaged from the female receiving portion 7B thereof.
  • the snapping mechanism allows mechanical opening operation of the lid 2 without the snapping mechanism being opened, thereby whilst the manually operated gates 4 are maintained at a closed condition.
