Definitions

  • the invention relates to a garbage can with an injection-molded plastic body comprising side walls and a bottom wall, which are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that they jointly delimit a cavity with an opening opposite the bottom wall, in which the side walls merge in one piece into this bottom wall at their lower ends facing the bottom wall and in which two side walls facing one another merge integrally into one another in a common corner area.
  • Garbage cans of this type are already known from the prior art. Such garbage cans can be provided with different capacities of about 60 l, 120 l, 240 l, 360 l or the like, for example by municipalities for households, in order to collect household waste, biowaste or the like and make it available for disposal against payment.
  • a garbage can known which is made in one piece from a plastic by injection molding.
  • This garbage can essentially consists of a floor and four towering walls from this.
  • At the bottom of the floor there is a vertical ledge running around three sides of the garbage can, on which the garbage can stands when it is properly placed on a surface.
  • This vertical ledge points below from corner areas between the front wall and the side walls of the rubbish bin on curved vertical ledge sections, to which the vertical ledge long sections of the vertical ledge are connected.
  • EP 2 052 991 A2 shows a garbage can according to the preamble of claim 1, in which in a lower side wall area straight sections spring back behind the rest of the wall in the manner of a step. Both the recessed sections and the non-recessed wall sections are intrinsically straight or flat.
  • the invention is based on the object of developing garbage cans of the generic type and improving them for everyday use in such a way that a high level of stability is achieved.
  • a garbage can with an injection-molded plastic body comprising side walls and a bottom wall, which are arranged to one another in such a way that they jointly delimit a cavity with an opening opposite the bottom wall, in which the side walls are in one piece at their lower ends facing the bottom wall merge into this bottom wall and in which two mutually facing side walls merge integrally into one another in a common corner area, with the side walls of the garbage can between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall being curved several times in opposite directions, the side walls of the garbage can between the two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall have alternating concave and convex areas, and wherein the side walls of the garbage can between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall on wave crests and wave troughs show which are less curved than the corner areas of the garbage can.
  • the garbage can can be demolded from an appropriately designed injection molding tool without undercuts in terms of plastic and injection molding tools.
  • the course of multiple oppositely pronounced bulges in the width direction of the side walls is aligned from a first corner area to a corner area opposite this first corner area. That is, the width direction of the bulges runs in the direction of the total height of the garbage cans.
  • these side walls of the garbage can are each designed with multiple arches only in their lower third.
  • a bead-like construction can advantageously reinforce the corresponding side walls, whereby forces introduced into the plastic body of the garbage can when the garbage can impacts, especially in one of the corner areas, on a substrate or the like, are distributed particularly gently to the more planar side wall areas above.
  • a preferred embodiment variant provides that the side walls of the garbage can are designed to be wave-shaped between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall.
  • the multiple opposing curvatures run between two corner regions with a certain periodicity in the width direction.
  • the course of wave crests and wave troughs in the width direction of the side walls is aligned from a first corner area to a corner area opposite this first corner area. That is, the width direction of the wave crests or the wave troughs runs in the direction of the total height of the garbage cans.
  • side walls of the garbage can have alternating concave and convex areas between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall. As a result, a larger amount of material can be accumulated in relation to the width of the respective side wall, as a result of which the side wall is overall more stable.
  • the front side wall and the side side walls between two corner regions in the width direction of the respective side wall have a different number of wave crests or wave troughs
  • the front side wall which is often more heavily loaded, can be made more stable with a correspondingly larger accumulation of material in relation to its width.
  • material can be saved on the side walls, which are less heavily loaded; nevertheless, these lateral side walls can advantageously be arched several times in opposite directions or configured in a wave-like manner.
  • a total of at least six, preferably seven, wave crests or troughs are preferably provided between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall, whereas only a maximum of five wave crests or wave troughs are formed on the lateral side walls between two corner areas in the width direction.
  • side walls of the rubbish bin have wave crests and troughs between two corner areas in the width direction of the respective side wall, which are less curved than the corner areas of the rubbish bin, so that these side walls can continue to be relatively flat despite increased stability.
  • the side walls of the garbage can expediently each have a meandering side wall cross section in their lower third in the width direction of the respective side wall. In this way, extremely stable and solid transition areas can be created between these side walls and the bottom wall.
  • the front side wall has a more closely meandering side wall cross section than that of the lateral side walls.
  • the front side wall which is usually more heavily loaded, can be designed to be more stable and solid, but the less heavily loaded side side walls can be made lighter in weight, but still more stable and stronger than before due to a further meandering side wall cross-section.
  • a further advantageous embodiment variant provides that a transition area between the side walls and the bottom wall is arched several times in opposite directions or configured in a wave-like manner.
  • the garbage can be advantageously reinforced especially on its underside.
  • a further preferred embodiment variant provides that the bottom wall has a circumferential edge with multiple oppositely curved or wave-shaped edge sections, so that the bottom wall can also be reinforced within the meaning of the invention.
  • edge sections with multiple oppositely curved or undulating design and the at least partially multiple opposing or undulating side walls are designed to be equally curved, transition areas between these side walls and the bottom wall that are structurally simple and very stable can be created.
  • edge sections of the base wall that are curved in several opposite directions or are wave-shaped are located further inside than the side walls that are several times arched in opposite directions or wave-shaped. In this way, transition areas with a favorable radius can be created, so that an improved flow of forces in the material can be ensured between the bottom wall and the relevant side walls.
  • the bottom wall has a large number of wave crests and wave troughs which, with regard to their respective width direction, extend radially from a central area of the base wall, in particular from an injection point on the base wall, to the transition areas between the base wall and the side walls .
  • the individual wave crests and wave troughs are arranged concentrically around this central area and this injection point.
  • the garbage can 1 shown has an injection-molded plastic body 2. Through this injection molded plastic body 2 side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the garbage can 1 are formed, namely a front side wall 3, a first side wall 4, a second side wall 5 and a rear side wall 6. In addition, the garbage can 1 has on it Underside 7 also has a bottom wall 8 also embodied by the injection molded plastic body 2. The side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 extend upwards from the bottom wall 8 in the direction 9, with the side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 at their bottom wall 8 facing lower ends 10 (only numbered as an example) merge in one piece into this bottom wall 8.
  • the two lateral side walls 4 and 5 go in two front corner areas 11 and 12 of the garbage can 1 into the front side wall 3 facing them and in two rear corner areas 13 and 14 of the garbage can 1 in one piece into the rear side wall 6 facing them.
  • the side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6 and the bottom wall 8 are arranged in relation to one another in such a way that they jointly define a cavity 15 for receiving waste.
  • This cavity 15 is accessible from the top 16 of the garbage can 1 via an opening 17 and can be closed with a cover, not shown here.
  • the cover can be pivotably attached to the garbage can 1 by means of a storage point 18 which is embedded in two handles 19 and 20 of the garbage can 1.
  • the opening 17 is bordered by a pouring rim 21, the pouring rim 21 immediately representing an upper end of the garbage can 1 on which the lid rests when the garbage can 1 is closed.
  • the pouring edge 21 offers the possibility of reaching under by lifting devices for lifting the garbage can 1, for example when emptying the garbage can 1 on a garbage transport vehicle.
  • an axle mounting 22 is also provided, by means of which a wheel axle (not shown) can be mounted so that the garbage can 1 can also be rolled.
  • the front side wall 3 and the two side walls 4 and 5 in this embodiment are each between two corner areas 11 and 12 (front side wall 3), 11 and 13 (first side wall 4) and 12 and 14 (second lateral side wall) in the width direction 25 (only shown as an example with respect to side wall 3, see in particular Figure 3 ) of these side walls 3, 4 and 5, at least in a region 26 of their lower ends 10 facing the bottom wall 8, are designed to be wave-shaped.
  • these side walls 3, 4 and 5 are designed to be more flat, so that they are designed to save material there.
  • This area 26 is characterized in the present exemplary embodiment by an area height 27 which is approximately 1/9 of the total height 28 of the respective side wall 3, 4 and 5 respectively.
  • These side walls 3, 4 and 5 have between the respective two corner areas 11 and 12, 11 and 13 or 12 and 14 in the width direction 25 alternately concave areas 30 and convex areas 31, the convex areas 31 corresponding wave crests 32 and the Concave areas 30 emboss corresponding wave troughs 33 on the side walls 3, 4 and 5.
  • the front side wall 3 between the corner areas 11 and 12 based on the outside 29 of the garbage can 1, three wave crests 32 and four wave troughs 33 are formed on this outside 29.
  • these side walls 3, 4 and 5 each have a meandering side wall cross section 34 in the width direction 25 of the respective side wall, the front side wall 3 having a narrower meandering side wall cross section 35 than the side walls 4 and 5 with further meandering side wall cross sections 36 (only numbered as an example).
  • a transition area 37 (only numbered here as an example) between the side walls 3, 4 and 5 and wave-shaped edge sections 38 (only numbered here as an example) of an edge 39 surrounding the bottom wall 8 is also wave-shaped (see in particular Figure 3 ).
  • the bottom wall 8 is also reinforced, since it has a large number of further wave crests 40 and wave troughs 41, which in terms of their respective width direction 42 (only shown here as an example) starting from a central area 43 of the bottom wall 8 and, in this exemplary embodiment, also starting from an injection point 44 provided on the base wall 8 extend radially into the transition area 37 between the base wall 8 and the side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6.
