Abstract

Container of urban waste of great capacity and improved access, of the type that incorporate a container body proper, whose capacity can exceed 2,400 liters, body that is closed by a pair of hinged top covers and a pair of arms tilters that relate said covers to the body and that allow the lateral and simultaneous tilting of both covers during the unloading maneuver of the container, in which in addition said covers are practicable manually and individually, at least one of them with the collaboration of a pedal, characterized in that the perimeter edge of the body corresponding to the mouth of the same, has a wide recess, centered on the tilting lid intended to be operated by users, so that the level of loading height of the container is substantially displaced downwards in this zone, at the same time as the corresponding lid incorporates a skirt, one piece with said lid, for badly, positionally and dimensionally coincident with the recess of the body.

Description

Large capacity urban waste container and improved access.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a container of urban waste, specifically to a large container capacity, of those constituted by a container body proper, with which a couple of tapas collaborate trained to swing sideways and in conjunction with the collaboration of two lateral arms, or to swing together operated manually by a pedal.

The object of the invention is to achieve a container that, maintaining this high load capacity, facilitate in a very considerable way the deposition of waste in its bosom by disabled people, mainly people in wheelchairs.

Background of the invention

The applicant herself is the owner of the Model Utility with application number U 200601838, in which it is described a large capacity urban waste container, in which a container body of configuration itself participates inverted trunk-pyramid, which closes superiorly through a pair of tilting and profile covers arched, which swing on a common and intermediate axis, established between its minor side walls, so that both covers swing in the direction of openness and by simple gravity when reverses the position of the container, during the unloading of the same, lids that are also individually and manually practicable, one of them with the collaboration of a pedal that allows the user keep your hands free during the deposition maneuver of waste.

This type of large capacity container, which satisfactorily fulfills the function for which it was intended, however, and due to its remarkable height, derived from its carrying capacity, difficulties for a person in a chair wheels can access the upper mouth of the same, after the opening of the corresponding lid, during the deposition of the trash.

This problem, which does not affect containers of lower capacity, and consequently have lower height, has been resolved by the applicant herself, as shown in the Model Utility with application number U 200601838, with some structural and general characteristics similar to those of large capacity container just described, incorporates an auxiliary front mouth located at a considerable height substantially away from the main loading mouth of the container, so that this auxiliary mouth results from ideal positioning to be used by a disabled person in Wheelchair.

However the layout of this auxiliary mouth forces the existence of an interior compartment in the container, to prevent the exit of the waste that access the same through your upper mouth, when it is full or mostly full.

Description of the invention

The container that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory manner the aforementioned problem, facilitating access to the interior thereof by people in a wheelchair, without the need for an interior compartment in this regard and without appreciably reducing its
Loading capacity.

For this and more specifically the container which is recommended, based on the basic structure described for Utility Model U 200601838, focuses its characteristics on the fact that the body of the container, in correspondence with its mouthpiece, and more specifically in correspondence with the edge on which closes one of its covers, the one destined to be used by the public and operable by the corresponding pedal, presents a recess of adequate depth to lower, also in the proper magnitude, the effective height of the mouth of the container, while the lid has an extension or skirt descending, one piece with it, formal, dimensional and positionally coinciding with the recess of the body, to keep the container tight, with the collaboration of the classic joints established between body and covers.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, said recessed adopts a trapecial configuration inverted isoscelic, like the complementary skirt, to facilitate the self-centering of the lid during the emptying maneuver Of the same.

It is achieved in this way, without participation of complementary piece, that is, maintaining the structure Basic container consisting of a combination of a body and a double lid, facilitate access to the interior without impairment of its carrying capacity.

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 an overview in perspective of a large capacity urban waste container and improved access made in accordance with the purpose of this invention, by its zone of access to it by the users

Figure 2.- Shows an elevation view side of the same container in the previous figure.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the container that is recommended is constituted, like any conventional container of this type, with a capacity equal to or greater than 2,400 liters, by a body (1) or container itself, which rests on the floor through skates (2) and that has a wide upper opening that closes by means of a pair of covers (3 and 4) manually and independently operable, of which the cover (3) is specifically designed to be used by the users in the waste disposal action, for which it is actionable by means of a
pedal (5).

Well, according to the invention, the mouth (6) of the body (1), which has a height level constant on three sides of the container body, presents in correspondence with the fourth side, the one shown in figure 1, a recessed defendant (7) who descends remarkably in height the level of the loading mouth in this area, and that consequently it facilitates access to the container by Wheelchair disabled or similar.

Complementarily the cover (3) has a skirt (8) that fits tightly within the recess (7) and that consequently maintains the necessary tight seal for the container.

As also seen in Figure 1, both the recessed (7) as the skirt (8) adopt a configuration trapecial, isoscelic and inverted, so that through said configuration the closing characteristics of the container, when the lid (3) falls by gravity, as it occurs the self-centering of it through the slanted edges defined between cover and recess.

Claims (2)

1. Container of urban waste of great capacity and improved access, of the type of those that incorporate a body of container itself, whose capacity can exceed 2,400 liters, body that is closed by a pair of hinged top covers and a pair of arms swingarms that relate said covers to the body and that allow the lateral and simultaneous tilting of both covers during the container unloading maneuver, in which said covers are also manually and individually practicable, at least one of them with the collaboration of a pedal , characterized in that the perimeter edge of the body corresponding to the mouth of the same, has a wide recess, centered on the tilting cover intended to be operated by the users, so that the level in height of container load is substantially displaced downwards in this area, while the corresponding cover incorporates a skirt, monopieza with said cover, for badly, positionally and dimensionally coinciding with the recess of the body. 2. Container of urban waste of great capacity and improved access, according to claim 1, characterized in that both the recess of the body of the container and the skirt of the lid adopt an inverted isoscelic trapecial configuration, determining the self-centering of the lid in the closing maneuver by gravity of it.
