Definitions

  • the present invention relates to apparatus and in particular, although not exclusively, to apparatus for use in a bomb resistant bin.
  • Refuse bins are typically provided in public places in town and city centres. However, security concerns have resulted in the removal of refuse bins from some public areas causing inconvenience to the public and an increase in cost for those charged with litter clearance.
  • apparatus comprising first and second sheet components each formed with a hole and a third sheet component provided with a corresponding tab, each of the first and second components having an inner surface and an outer surface on the opposing side, the inner surfaces of the first and second components being located against each other, wherein the third component is located against the outer surface of the first component and the tab is received in the holes of the first and second components such that the tab protrudes at least to the outer surface of the second component, and wherein the tab is secured to the outer surface of the second component.
  • This 'tab and hole' configuration allows for the centre of the first and the second components to be joined in a layered fashion, which adds structural integrity to the device. Moreover, the third component may provide improved resistance to bending across the planes of the first and second components. In addition to the tab and hole configuration, fillet welding may be performed along the edges of two components so as to further increase the strength of the device.
  • the tab is welded to the outer surface of the second component.
  • the first and the second component are of similar shape and thickness. This creates a double thickness adding strength to the structure.
  • first and the second components lie in parallel planes and the tab lie in a plane perpendicular to the planes of the first and second
  • the tab extending through the holes of the first and the second components prevent any movement of the components relative to one another in a direction parallel to their planes.
  • the fact that the third component is located against the first component and the tab is joined to the outer surface of the second component prevents the first and the second component to move away from each other in a direction parallel to the plane of the tab.
  • the tab may protrude past the outer surface of the second component.
  • the tab protrudes by an amount that is such as to cause the tab to be levelled with said outer surface of the second component when the tab is welded to the outer surface of the second component.
  • This can allow the outer surface of the second component to be provided with a relatively smooth surface, assisting alignment or engagement with another part.
  • the third component includes multiple tabs each of which extends through holes in the first and second components at least to be level with the outer surface of the second component and each of which is secured to the outer surface of the second component.
  • the apparatus comprises a fourth sheet component joined against the third components, the fourth component having one or more tabs each of which extends through holes in the first and second components at least to be level with the outer surface of the second component and each of which is secured to the outer surface of the second component. This provides further reinforcement, to complement the third component, and also provides further securing of the first and second components against one another.
  • the holes in the first and second components that receive tabs of the third component may be disposed at different locations along the length of the third and fourth components to the holes that receive tabs of the fourth component.

  • the door 2 is removably attachable to edges formed at the front of the two side walls 4, 5 so as to provide access to the space provided within the container 1.
  • the door 2 is hinged so that is can be swung open and closed.
  • the hinge axis is vertical, and there is no vertical change in the centre of gravity of the door as it hinges.
  • the base 6 is formed with a plurality of holes (not shown) for receiving fastening means such as bolts so that the container 1 can be secured to the ground upon which it stands.
  • an aperture 8 is formed at an opposite end to the base 6, for directing or channelling a blast from an explosion in a direction away from the base 6 and generally vertically.
  • the longitudinal axis of the container 1 is generally vertical in use.
  • the door 2 comprises a front panel 20 preferably made out of a metal sheet.
  • the door 2 of the container is provided with a refuse aperture 9 through which a user disposes of their waste so that the waste is received and contained in the space of the container 1.
  • a refuse aperture panel 21 is fitted on the inner surface of the front panel 20 covering the aperture 9.
  • the refuse aperture panel 21 is removably attachable to the refuse aperture 9 and when it is attached to the front panel 20 a user is prevented from disposing of their waste through the aperture 9. This may be necessary in order to put the container temporarily out of use as a bin, in particular during high security alerts when there is an imminent threat.
  • the refuse aperture panel 21 may be formed with a variety of holes so that the size of the waste received in the space of the container 1 can be controlled.
  • the door 2 is removably attached to the container 1 by cooperating means.
  • the cooperating means of the door 2 includes locking hooks 28 attached to locking plates 25, 26 which are movable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container 1.
  • the locking hooks 28 may also be termed locking pins.
  • the locking plates 25, 26 may also be termed locking pin mechanisms.
  • the locking hooks 28 engage with corresponding cooperating elements, which can be termed locking channels 50.
  • the cooperating means enable the door 2 to be secured to the left and right side walls 4, 5 of the container 1 such that it is retained in its position in the event of an explosion within the container.
  • the cooperating means allow for the door 2 to be opened such as to allow access to the interior of the container 1, in particular when the container is used for refuse and needs emptying or cleaning.
  • the locking plates 25, 26 comprise an upper 25 locking plate and a lower locking plate 26 which are shown in Figures 6 and 7, respectively, and in situ in Figure 3. Both plates 25, 26 have a rectangular profile and are formed of a respective metal sheet. Centrally positioned apertures 27 of the plates 25, 26 have been cut out. This reduces the weight of the plates 25, 26 as well as the quantity of material required without significantly reducing strength where high strength is most needed.
  • the locking hooks 28 are formed. The locking hooks 28 each have a longitudinal axis that extends perpendicular to a line connecting opposite locking hooks. The axes of the locking hooks is vertical in use.
  • An end of an arm 29 is attached to the lower locking plate 26.
  • a rack 30 having teeth 31 is formed.
  • the arm 29 and the rack 30 extend parallel to the locking hooks 28, so vertically in use.
  • the upper locking plate 25 is also formed with a rack 30 having teeth 31.
  • the rack 30 on the arm 29 extending from the lower locking plate 26 is parallel to the rack 30 formed on the upper locking plate 25.
  • the teeth 31 of the racks 30 are opposing one another.
  • a pinion 32 is located between the racks 30 and is rotatable about a central axis. The pinion 30 engages with the teeth 31 of the racks 30 such that rotation of the pinion causes the racks 30 to move up and down respectively.
  • the plates 25, 26 This causes the plates 25, 26 to be moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container 1.
  • the plates 25, 26 have generally the same configuration, and approximately the same weight.
  • the rack and pinion arrangement results in the plate 25 moving upwards by the same amount as the other plate 26 is moved downwards. Because the plates 25, 26 have about the same weight, the force required to move the plates 25, 26 to activate locking or unlocking is relatively low. Moreover the force required is approximately the same for both the locking and unlocking movements.
  • the pinion 30 is further formed with holes (not shown) for receiving a corresponding key (not shown) so that the pinion can be rotated so as to lock and unlock the door 2.
  • a hole 80 is formed in the door 2 exposing the holes in the pinion such that they can be accessed with a corresponding key 81.

  • the second layers 33 lie in a plane parallel to the locking plates 25, 26 and are formed with holes 24. The second layers 33 are secured to the main sheet of the locking plates 25, 26 by fillet welds where the edges of the holes 24 meet the adjacent surface of the main sheet of the locking plates 25, 26. Additionally or
  • the second layers 33 are secured to the main sheet of the locking plates 25, 26 in part by fillet welds at the step formed where the second layers 33 end and the main sheet continues. This is achieved also by the way in which reinforcing members are secured, as is described below.
  • each outer portion of the locking plates 25, 26 is also reinforced with a reinforcing member 34.
  • the reinforcing members 34 each lie in a plane perpendicular to the locking plates 25, 26 thereby adding additional strength in yet another direction.
  • the reinforcing members 34 of each plate 25, 26 also extend over the tips of the locking hooks 28. This provides further strength to the hooks 28 and facilitates self-guiding of the locking hooks 28 into the cooperating elements.
  • the corners 35 of the locking hooks 28 are tapered, and the tapering may be rounded. This further eases the guiding of the hooks 28 into the cooperating elements of the container.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à être utilisé dans une poubelle résistant aux bombes et comprenant des premier et second composants en feuilles constitués chacun d'un trou, et un troisième composant en feuilles pourvu d'une patte correspondante. Chacun des premier et second composants présente une surface interne et une surface externe sur la face opposée. Les surfaces internes des premier et second composants sont placées l'une contre l'autre, le troisième composant étant placé contre la surface externe du premier composant et la patte étant logée dans les trous des premier et second composants de sorte que celle-ci fasse saillie au moins vers la surface externe du second composant. La patte est fixée à la surface externe du second composant de sorte que les premier et second composants en feuilles soient assemblés sous forme de couches, ajoutant ainsi une intégrité structurale au dispositif.
