Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to the improvement of waste containers installed in toilets, washrooms, etc., for example.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional waste containers consist of a simple container with a lid, and when used, a so-called waste storage bag such as a plastic bag is placed inside the container with the lid open, expanded inside, and then the waste storage bag is placed inside the container. The filth storage bag is set in the container by folding the opening edge of the bag outward from the opening end of the container, and in the set state, the filth is dumped into the filth storage bag. When collecting the filth storage bag, the folded part is removed from the open end of the container, the bag is pulled up from inside the container, and then the upper part of the filth storage bag is tied up and disposed of.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In conventional waste storage containers, each time a waste storage bag is collected, a cleaning worker holds the container itself with his/her hand and pulls out the waste storage bag from inside the container. The bag must be placed in a container and the user must put their hands inside the container to expand it, which creates a sense of uncleanness and makes it impossible to replace the waste storage bag in a hygienic manner. There were problems such as the above-mentioned replacement work being disliked. Furthermore, since the lid of the container does not have a sealed structure, there is a problem in that a bad odor is emitted to the outside even when the lid is closed. This idea was created by focusing on the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to eliminate the feeling of uncleanness when changing waste storage bags, and to create a sanitary waste container that does not emit a bad odor when the lid is closed. The purpose is to provide.

[Means to solve the problem]

The filth container according to this invention has a mounting frame that is mounted on a rising wall so as to float above the floor surface, and a bottomed box shape with a filth inlet on the top surface and an open rear surface. a holding means, which is combined with a decorative cover that is removably fitted from the front, and that holds the upper opening edge of the garbage storage bag for disposal that is removably fitted to the outside of the mounting frame from below; The device is provided with an opening/closing lid that can be rotated to open and close for sealing the waste inlet, a locking means for locking the opening/closing lid in the closed position, and a lock release means for unlocking the opening/closing lid.

[Effect]

In the waste container of this invention, the mounting frame is attached in advance to the rising wall surface of the installation location so as to float above the floor, and a waste storage bag is placed on the outside of the mounting frame from below, and the open end of the waste storage bag is placed on the outside of the mounting frame. After the sides are held by the holding means, the decorative cover is fitted onto the mounting frame from the front to be assembled and set for use. In this state, the user unlocks and opens the opening/closing lid, dumps waste from the waste inlet, and closes the opening/closing lid. By sealing the area, bad odors are prevented from emitting to the outside. Furthermore, the waste thrown from the waste input port is stored in the waste storage bag via the attachment frame. In this case, the dirt load applied to the bottom of the waste storage bag is supported by the bottom wall of the decorative cover. When replacing the waste storage bag mentioned above,
First, the cosmetic cover is removed, and then the upper end of the dirt storage bag is released from being held by the holding means, and then the dirt storage bag is lowered and removed from the mounting frame. Incidentally, when the upper end of the dirt storage bag is released from being held, the dirt storage bag often falls under its own weight due to the load of dirt inside it, and therefore, it can be easily removed from the mounting frame.
After its removal, a new dirt storage bag is set in the manner described above, thereby completing the replacement of the dirt storage bag. Therefore, when replacing the waste storage bag, there is no need for the cleaning worker to put his/her hands inside the bag as in the conventional case, which eliminates the feeling of uncleanliness and makes it possible to replace the waste storage bag easily and hygienically. .

【Example】

An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings. Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the filth container according to the first embodiment of this invention, Fig. 2 is a vertical side view showing the installed state, and Fig. 3 is a front view of the mounting frame. is a mounting frame 1 that is attached in advance to a rising wall surface W (see Figure 2) in the manner described later.
It consists of a combination of a dirt storage bag 2 which is removably attached to the mounting frame 1 from below, and a decorative cover 3 which is removably fitted onto the mounting frame 1 from the front. The mounting frame 1 includes a pair of left and right side plates 10, a horizontal member 11 that integrally connects the two side plates 10 at the upper end front portion, and an upper end rear portion of the both side plates 10. The main part is constituted by the rear mounting plate 12. In such a mounting frame 1, a waste storage bag 2 such as a plastic bag is placed on the outside of both side plates 10 from below and set, and the waste storage bag 2 is placed in the mounting frame 1 during the setting or in the set state. In order to prevent the side plates 10 from being attracted by static electricity, the side plates 10 are coated with an antistatic agent, have partially curved concave portions or convex portions, or are provided with ventilation holes or cutouts. etc. Further, the side plates 10 may have any shape as long as they are flexible or have a shape that allows the dirt storage bag 2 to be easily inserted and removed. The mounting frame 1 also has an upper hooking protrusion 13 for removably hooking the upper rear end of the decorative cover 3, and a lower rear end of the decorative cover 3 for removably locking. and bag holding means 15 for holding the open end of the waste storage bag 2 on the outer side surfaces of the side plates 10. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned upper latching protrusion 13
is provided at the upper part of the rear end of the mounting frame 1, and as shown in FIG. 2, is a stepped portion forming a hooking groove 13a with the rising wall W. The lower locking portion 14 is an upward hook-shaped snap locking means that is integrally formed at the lower end of the hanging wall portion 12a of the rear mounting plate 12 toward the front. In this case, the lower locking part 14 is a lower horizontal member 14a provided slightly above the lower part of the rear end of the both side plates 10, as shown by the dashed line in FIG.
An upward hook-shaped thing integrally formed with the above-mentioned mounting frame 1, or an upward hook-like thing formed separately from the above-mentioned mounting frame 1 and attached to the above-mentioned rising wall surface W.
In either case, it is sufficient that the locking means has a hook portion or other shape and can be elastically deformed in the locking/unlocking direction. In the illustrated example, the bag holding means 15 is comprised of a pair of left and right clamp arms whose base ends are horizontally rotatably supported on both lower sides of the rear mounting plate 12. It is biased by a spring in the closing direction so as to come into pressure contact with the outer surfaces of the both side plates 10. With the clamp arm 15 opened outward, the waste storage bag 2 is attached to both side plates 1 of the mounting frame 1.
The open end of the waste storage bag 2 is pulled up to the clamping position by the clamp arm 15, but at this time, the clamp arm 15 is kept out of the way. As a means for this purpose, a gap S is provided between the shaft support 12b of the clamp arm 15 on the rear mounting plate 12 and the rear ends of the side plates 10. This gap S allows the open end of the waste storage bag 2 to be easily pulled up to the clamping position by the clamp arm 15. By closing the clamp arm 15 with a biasing force, the open end side of the dirt storage bag 2 is held between the outer surfaces of the side plates 10 and the open end side of the dirt storage bag 2. In this case, in order to further strengthen the holding force, the opening edge of the waste storage bag 2 sandwiched between the clamp arms 15 can be folded back to the outside of the clamp arms 15. As a means for this purpose, a cutout stepped portion 15a is provided at the upper portion of the base end side of the clamp arm 15. Due to the notch step 15a, the opening edge of the waste storage bag 2 can be folded back from the inside to the outside at the upper end of the clamp arm 15.
The open end of the waste storage bag 2 can be pressed and engaged with elastic tension. As a result, the holding force of the open end of the waste storage bag 2 is further increased. The clamp arm 15 has a spring dead center in the middle of opening and closing, and by exceeding the spring dead center,
It may have a toggle spring type biasing force that is rotationally biased in the opening direction or the closing direction. In addition, only the clamp arm 15 is attached to the waste storage bag 2.
The bag holding means 15 may be, for example, a fixed arm that is integrally connected to the rear mounting plate 12 and projects forward in parallel with the outer surfaces of the side plates 10 with a gap therebetween. Even in this case, the open end of the waste storage bag 2 can be folded back from the inside to the outside at the upper end of the fixed arm and held only by elastic tension. In short, the bag holding means 15 may have any shape or configuration as long as it can hold the open end of the waste storage bag 2 on the outside of the side plates 10. On the other hand, the decorative cover 3 is formed in the shape of a bottomed box with a dirt inlet 31 provided on the top surface and an open rear surface, and is removably fitted onto the mounting frame 1 from the front through the rear opening. It is becoming more and more like this. Such a decorative cover 3, as shown in FIG.

3. Here, the lower locking portion 14
The upper hooking claw 3 is attached to the upper hooking protrusion 13 of the mounting frame 1.
2 may consist of a support plate or a support arm that simply supports the bottom of the decorative cover 3 from below; in this case, the hook-shaped lower locking portion 14 and the lower The locking hole portion 33 can be made unnecessary. Further, an opening/closing lid 34 is pivotally supported on the dirt inlet 31 of the cosmetic cover 3 so as to be able to move up and down, and the opening/closing lid 34 is supported by a spring member 36 provided on its support shaft 35.
is biased in the opening direction by. The spring member 36 may be any material that can bias the opening/closing lid 34 in the opening direction, such as a helical spring, a plate spring, or other elastic body. The opening/closing lid 34 is adapted to seal the filth/filth inlet 31 in the closed position. As a means for this purpose, a locking means 37 is provided inside the decorative cover 3 to lock the opening/closing lid 34 in the closed position of the waste inlet 31. The locking means 37 in the illustrated example is rotatably supported by a lid-side locking claw 37a provided on the inner side of the front end of the opening/closing lid 34 and inside the decorative cover 3, and is located at the closed position of the opening/closing lid 34. The lid side locking claw 37a
It consists of a movable locking claw 37b on the cover side that is locked to the cover side, and a spring member 38 that biases the movable locking claw 37b in the locking direction to the lid side locking claw 37a. It should be noted that the locking means 37 is not limited to the above configuration, and may have any configuration as long as it can lock the opening/closing lid 34 in a sealed state when the opening/closing lid 34 is closed. Moreover, the type of the spring member 38 is not limited. In the locking means 37, the lid side locking claw 37
A and the movable locking pawl 37b are unlocked by an operating knob (lock release means) 39 (see FIG. 1) connected to the rotating shaft of the movable locking pawl 37b and held on the outside of the decorative cover 3. It is carried out by. This operating knob 39 may be any of a rotating handle, a lever, a push button, etc. Note that the operation knob 39 is not essential, and if it is not needed, for example, by pushing the opening/closing lid 34 from the outside and repeating this, the lid-side locking pawl 37a and the movable The locking means 37 may be constructed so that the locking pawl 37b is alternately locked and unlocked. Next, the case of assembling and setting the waste container will be explained. First, the mounting frame 1 is mounted on a rising wall surface W at the installation location so as to be suspended above the floor surface. This installation is performed by fixing the rear mounting plate 12 of the mounting frame 1 to the rising wall surface W by screws or adhesive. Next, the waste storage bag 2 is fitted onto the outside of both side plates 10 of the mounting frame 1 from below, the open end of the waste storage bag 2 is pulled up, the open end is clamped with the clamp arm 15, and the clamp arm Fold outward at the top edge of 15. This completes the installation set of the dirt storage bag 2. Thereafter, by fitting the decorative cover 3 into the mounting frame 1 from the front, the upper hooking claw 32 of the decorative cover 3 is connected to the upper locking protrusion 13 of the mounting frame 1, and the lower locking hole 33 is The decorative cover 3 is held on the mounting frame 1 by being fitted and engaged with the lower locking portions 14, respectively, and the assembly of the entire waste container is completed. When using the filth container, first operate the operating knob 39 to release the locking of the opening/closing lid 34 by the locking means 37, and the opening/closing lid 34 will be opened by force, so that the filth can be removed from the filth inlet 31. Just put it in. After the input, when the opening/closing lid 34 is closed against the urging force, the opening/closing lid 34 is locked by the locking means 37 and the filth inlet 31 is locked.
Seal it tightly. Therefore, when the opening/closing lid 34 is closed, there is no possibility that the odor inside the container will leak to the outside. Then, the filth thrown in from the filth inlet 31 is transferred to the filth storage bag 2 through the mounting frame 1.
stored inside. In this case, the filth load acts on the bottom of the filth storage bag 2, but since the bottom of the filth storage bag 2 is supported by the inner bottom of the cosmetic cover 3,
The dirt load is supported at the bottom of the decorative cover 3. Therefore, the dirt storage bag 2 will not fall due to the dirt load. Next, replacement of the dirt storage bag 2 will be explained. When replacing it, first, after removing the decorative cover 3, the clamp arm 15 is opened to release the clamp on the open end of the waste storage bag 2.
Next, by lowering the waste storage bag 2,
Remove it from the mounting frame 1 above. During this removal,
The waste storage bag 2 often falls under its own weight due to the internal dirt load when the open end is unclamped as described above, and therefore, the removal can be easily performed. After its removal, a new dirt storage bag 2 is set on the mounting frame 1 in the manner described above, and then the decorative cover 3 is fitted onto the mounting frame 1, thereby completing the replacement of the dirt storage bag 2. FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the opening/closing lid 34. In this embodiment, a rising sealing piece 34a that closes the gap with the periphery of the waste inlet 31 is integrally formed on the peripheral edge of the opening/closing lid 34 except for the base end side, and a rising sealing piece 34a is integrally printed on the base end of the opening/closing lid 34. A sealing part 34b such as a gasket is provided inside the decorative cover 3 to close the gap with the edge of the dirt inlet 31. This further improves the accuracy of sealing the dirt inlet 31 with the opening/closing lid 34. FIGS. 5 and 6 show modified examples of the waste storage bag 2. FIG. The waste storage bag 2 shown in FIG. 5 has a structure in which a flexible frame edge 2a is integrally formed at the open end of a plastic bag. In the case of this filth storage bag 2, by clamping it with the clamp arm 15 below the frame edge 2a, the holding power of the filth storage bag 2 in the set state can be further improved. The waste storage bag 2 shown in FIG. 6 has an elastic opening/closing engagement part 2b integrally formed with the same material at the open end of the plastic bag. In the case of this filth storage bag 2, when it is removed after use, the opening end can be easily closed by snapping the elastic opening/closing engaging part 2b. Note that any dirt storage bag 2 can be used as long as it can be removably attached to and set on the mounting frame 1.

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to this invention, the rotatable opening/closing lid provided on the waste inlet of the cosmetic cover is locked in the sealed position of the waste inlet, thereby preventing the odor from inside from leaking to the outside. Therefore, it has the effect of eliminating discomfort caused by bad odors. In addition, the above-mentioned decorative cover is removably fitted onto the mounting frame from the front, but the mounting frame is mounted and fixed on the upright wall surface above the floor surface, so dirt can be stored in the mounting frame from below. The bag can be easily inserted and removed, and since the filth storage bag is placed over the outside of the mounting frame, the filth storage bag can be naturally expanded by the mounting frame when set. Therefore, there is no need to put one's hand inside the waste storage bag to open it, and the waste storage bag can be replaced outside the mounting frame, which has the effect of eliminating the feeling of uncleanness during the replacement work. be. Furthermore, the decorative cover that is fitted onto the mounting frame from the front provides a beautiful design, and since the decorative cover has a bottom, the load of filth in the filth storage bag is absorbed by the decorative cover.
