Description

Mobile container for waste collection urban.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a container, of the type used for waste collection urban such as organic waste, glass, paper, etc., preferably with a capacity of the order of 360 liters and that have a pair of wheels at their base and a handle to level of its mouth, for its manual displacement in work of pick up

The object of the invention is to achieve a structurally more resistant container against stress that has to endure during the process of emptying it, structurally simpler and that allows greater capacity to stacking without disassembling your wheels, in particular in storage and transport situations.

The invention thus falls within the scope of street furniture, and more specifically in the equipment for the collection and disposal of urban waste.

Background of the invention

There are different types of containers for urban waste collection, but one of the frequently used is the one in which a configuration body participates noticeably trunk-pyramidal, rectangular and divergent towards its mouth, to which it tilts a closing cover, with a pair of wheels at its base rear and at the level of its mouth with a handle or handle which usually materializes on the tilt axis itself of the lid

This type of container, even complying satisfactorily the basic function for which they have been planned, presents in practice certain problems that impact negatively in certain aspects of them. More Specify the wheels for the movement of the container on the soil constitute a major obstacle when stacking these empty containers, such as during storage and transport, generally forcing the dismantling of said wheels to improve stacking conditions, with the negative impact that this brings with having to perform a assembly of the wheels at the end of their distribution.

For the emptying of these containers, the they approach the pick-up truck, which has a kind of "comb" that ties the body of the container to level of its mouth, specifically at the level of a perimeter flange existing in it, so that with a capacity such as previously mentioned for the container, of the order of 360 liters, the said comb causes damage to the mouth of the container, which they greatly shorten the life of the same.

All containers of the aforementioned type they incorporate a shaft axially traversing the tube as a function of handle that has been mentioned before, axis that extends between two lugs conveniently in solidarity with the lid, which determines a complex structure that impacts negatively at cost level.

Description of the invention

The mobile container that the invention proposes solves the problem fully satisfactorily previously exposed, in the different aspects commented.

To do this more specifically and in accordance with one of the characteristics of the invention, the body of the container incorporates, at the level of the back area of its bottom, formally and dimensionally suitable lateral recesses for that the wheels of the container fit within them, of so that when said wheels are not prominent towards the outside, the containers can be stacked empty without need to proceed to disassemble them.

In fact and in front of a conventional container of this type, with a stacking capacity of up to seven heights, with the new arrangement for the wheels that the invention proposes they can exceed twelve heights.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention the perimeter wall that frames the mouth of the body of the container incorporates, in the extreme area of its rear edge, that is to say in those areas of the container on which it will act the comb of the pickup vehicle, sturdy inner nerves that reinforce the structure in this area of the container, while delimit the space of the lifting comb, with the consequent elongation, assured for the life of the container.

Finally, it should also be noted that the tubular crossbar in functions of handle for the body of the container, which also acts as a tilting axis for the lid, simply receive a pair of pivots conveniently in solidarity with said cover, in the absence of the classic metallic axis transverse, which makes the container more expensive from the point of Manufacturing view as subsequent maintenance.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view lower back of the body of a mobile container for collection of urban waste carried out in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, devoid of cover and wheels.

Figure 2.- Shows, also according to a view in perspective, the cover of the complementary container of the body of the previous figure.

Figure 3.- Shows a partial detail and in perspective of the mouth of the container body, at the level of its lower face, on which the comb of the vehicle acts pick up

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a general perspective of the properly assembled container.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the container that the invention proposes is constituted from a body (1) with the classic divergent configuration towards its mouth (2) to facilitate its stacking by majority "plugging" of one another. , mouth (2) equipped with a perimeter reinforcement finished off in a front wall (3) on which the comb of the vehicle or garbage collection truck acts, in the maneuver of lifting and tilting the container inside the same, incorporating in opposition to said front area (3) a handle (4) materialized in a transverse bar conveniently distanced from the body (1) to facilitate its grip, and which in turn coincides with the imaginary tilt axis of the complementary cover (5), incorporating in its lower rear area a transverse recess (6) in which the axle (7) of a pair of wheels (8) is located that allow a relatively easy movement of the container over re the
ground.

From this basic structuring and conventional and according to one of the characteristics of the invention, said recess (6) is finished off at its ends in recessed (9) dimensionally larger, able to receive in their sine mostly to the wheels (8), in turn in diameter slightly reduced with respect to what is conventional, of so that in the situation of assembly of said wheels (8) and such as it is observed in figure 4, these do not protrude neither lateral nor subsequently with respect to the body (1) of the container, which facilitates stacking of empty containers without the need for remove these wheels.

As previously stated on container shifting is done manually through of the handle (4) from its location to the vicinity of the collection vehicle, which acts on the maneuver corresponding on the underside of the front wall (3) of the mouth (2) of the body (1), where according to another of the characteristics of the invention the container body incorporates an inner nerve (10), especially visible in the detail of the Figure 3, which reinforces and limits the space of action of the comb of lifting of the collection vehicle.

Returning again to the handle (4), which it materializes as is conventional in a cylindrical rod or tube fixed to the body (1) by distance brackets (11), this one receives at its open ends to respective pivots (12) that rear projections of the lid (5) are provided, where said pivots (12) are axially facing each other, as it follows from the observation of figure 2.
