Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • such waste containers comprise a container body for picking up waste.
  • the container body comprises a base and at least one container wall.
  • the container body can be closed by use of a container lid which is mounted on the container body.
  • Such waste containers can be used for picking up and storing all kinds of waste.
  • One field of application of such waste containers is the storage of bio waste.
  • the freezing of bio waste in waste containers, so called bio bins, is a since long debated problem especially on the Nordic Markets.
  • the wet bio waste freezes to an ice lump and gets stuck in the waste container causing big problems for the collectors.
  • a common recommendation from the municipalities is to place the bio waste in a paper bag outside the container body or on top of the container lid until coming with next bag. According to such a solution the first paper bag containing bio waste will have been frozen and will not get stuck in the waste container.
  • this solution is neither esthetic nor practical, due to disfigurement of the area around the waste container, damaging to the paper bags by animals and the like.
  • a waste container comprising a container body for picking up waste, said container body comprising a container base and at least one container wall.
  • the waste container is characterized in that at least one shelf device for temporary storage of a waste portion is provided said at least one shelf device being arranged inside the container body on at least one container wall.
  • the present invention is based on the general finding that a shelf device which is capable of temporarily storing a waste portion, a bio waste portion for example, is mounted inside the container body. Therefore, the waste portion is stored inside the container body.
  • a waste container is provided.
  • This waste container is adapted to pick up waste.
  • the present invention is not limited to specific types of waste containers or to specific types of waste or waste fractions that can be picked up and stored by said waste container.
  • the present invention is directed to a waste container for picking up bio waste.
  • waste container can function as a so called "bio bin”.
  • the waste container comprises a container body.
  • the container body preferably comprises a container base. At least one container wall projects from said container base to an upper edge of said container body.
  • the waste container can comprise one single container wall, for example if the waste container body is round shaped, oval shaped or the like.
  • the container wall comprises different, for example four, walls, which are connected to one another.
  • the container wall can comprise a front wall, a rear wall and two side walls.
  • the container body comprising one container wall or more than one container walls can be manufactured and provided as a one-piece container body.
  • the container wall and the container base border or delimit a container internal space, said internal space defining the space for picking up waste.
  • the container body comprises a collecting opening for collecting waste.
  • this collecting opening is bordered or delimited by the container wall or walls. In such a case, the collecting opening extends over the entire cross-section of the container body at the upper ending of the container body.
  • At least one shelf device is provided, said shelf device being adapted for temporary storage of a waste portion.
  • the present invention is not limited to a specific number of shelf devices. According to a preferred embodiment, one single shelf device is provided. However, according to different embodiments, two or more shelf devices could be provided. The number of shelf devices particularly depends on the configuration and size of the waste container.
  • the shelf device is adapted to temporarily storing a waste portion.
  • the present invention is not limited to specific types of waste that can be stored.
  • a bio waste portion can be stored.
  • a waste portion can be an amount of waste that is preferably stored inside a box or a bag, a paper bag for example.
  • a waste portion is an amount of bio waste that is stored inside a paper bag.
  • the present invention is not limited to specific types or arrangements or designs of waste portions.
  • the at least one shelf device is arranged inside the container body on at least one container wall.
  • the shelf device can be fixed or is fixed at the inner surface of the container wall, said inner surface bordering or delimiting the container internal space said internal space defining the space for picking up waste.
  • the shelf device is arranged inside the container body and therefore, inside the waste container.
  • the shelf device is adapted to pick up a waste portion, a waste bag for example, and then when coming with the next waste portion, drop the waste portion stored on the shelf device into the container body and place the next waste portion on the shelf device.
  • the shelf device can be arranged in a way that is swings against the container wall, when the waste container is discharged. Once the waste container has been replaced to the ground after the discharge procedure has been finished, the shelf device can swing into a position where it can pick up a waste portion again. More details of such a preferred embodiment are described in moiré detail further below.
  • the waste container according to the present invention which comprises at least one shelf device inside the container body allows dehydrating the waste, particularly the bio waste, which is stored on said shelf device, during summer, thus reducing the weight of the waste and the occurrence of bad odors.
  • the waste portion freezes to a bloc on the shelf device which facilitates the discharge procedure of the waste container.
  • the waste portion may remain on the shelf device until the next waste portion id delivered.
  • the present invention provides a solution which allows a waste portion, a bag with bio waste for example to be placed on the shelf device for ventilation during summertime and "pre-freezing” on winter time, in order to reduce smell and freezing problems.
