Definitions

• the present invention relates to a drawer for separate waste collection.
• a drawer for separate waste collection is constituted by a guide installed inside the cabinet compartment wherein the drawer operates, a sliding frame along the guide and adapted to support one or more waste holding buckets, a front door fixed to the frame and a backboard fixed to the frame.
• the cabinet, the guide, the door and the backboard is built by the cabinet maker while said frame and buckets are manufactured by a company supplying the cabinet maker.
• the purpose of the present invention is to provide a drawer for separate waste collection that is free from the above mentioned drawbacks.
• a drawer for separate waste collection installed inside a compartment made in a cabinet and delimited by two side walls that support a respective guide along which slides a frame that supports a plurality of holding waste buckets is provided, characterized in that said frame has a rectangular perimeter and comprises two elongated side bodies parallel to each other and two bars parallel to each other for connecting together the longitudinal ends of said bodies; each of said bodies having a covering member of the corresponding said guide.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of a drawer according to the teachings of the present invention.
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of a part of the drawer of Figure 1;
• Figure 3 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of a detail of the part shown in Figure 2;
• Figures 4 and 5 are perspective views on an enlarged scale of a member of the part shown in Figure 2 wherein in figure 4 two portions of said member are separated and wherein in figure 5 said portions are connected together;
• Figure 6 is a front view, partial and in enlarged scale of the member shown in Figure 5 coupled to a guide of the drawer of Figure 1;
• Figure 7 is a view on an enlarged scale of a detail of the member shown in Figure 6.
• a drawer for separate waste collection installed inside a compartment 2 made in a cabinet 3 is indicated as a whole; the two side walls 4 bounding the compartment 2 supporting a respective guide 5 (figure 6) .
• the drawer 1 comprises a frame 6 which supports a plurality of holding waste buckets 7 and which is slidable along the guides 5 during opening and closing of the drawer 1.
• the frame 6 has a rectangular perimeter development and comprises two side elongated bodies 8 parallel to each other and two bars 11 parallel to each other for connecting together the ends of the longitudinal bodies 8; the bodies 8 being preferably made of plastic material and the bars 11 being preferably made of metallic material.
• each sleeve 12 internally hollow and having a rectangular inner section.
• the sleeves 12 housing the longitudinal ends of the bars 11.
• the upper wall of each sleeve 12 has a through slot
• each bar 11 has a threaded hole 14 inside the sleeve 12 and exactly in correspondence to the slot 13.
• a corresponding screw 15 creates the fastening between the sleeve 12 and the bar 11 which has its longitudinal end housed inside the sleeve 12.
• the threaded shank of the screw 15 passes through the slot 13 and is screwed into the hole 14.
• the screw head 15 has a diameter greater than the width of the slot 13.
• the guide 5 is supported by way of a bracket 16 from the corresponding side wall 4 of the compartment 2.
• the solid line illustrates a guide 5 and the dashed lines illustrate other types of guides 5.
• the parts in common to all these guides 5 are, apart from the connection by way of the bracket 16 to the wall 4, a side projection 17 having a substantially triangular shape that reaches a recess 18 which also has a triangular shape formed on the face of the body 8 facing the guide 5. It is evident that the projection 17-recess 18 coupling constitutes the supporting device and the guide of the drawer 1.
• the geometric development of various guides 5 is different and therefore is important as stated above to achieve a correct and precise adjustment of the distance between the bodies 8.
• each body 8 has an integral tab 21 of the same length as the body 8 extending in a horizontal plane towards the corresponding wall 4.
• a tab 22 shaped as an inverted L and of the same length as the tab 21.
• the tab 22 has a first portion 23 defined in a horizontal plane which in use is inserted between the tab 21 and the upper part of the guide 5 and a second portion 24 defined in a vertical plane and that laterally covers the upper part of the guide 5.
• the tab 22 is substantially at the same level of the tab 21 and above all covers the guide 5 carrying out both an aesthetic function and a barrier function against any dust or anything else that comes to rest in the area occupied by the guide 5 with consequent sliding problems of the drawer 1.
• each body 8 at its front longitudinal end supports a corresponding bracket 31 to which, by means of screws not shown, a door 32 of the drawer 1, shown in dashed lines, is fixed.
• each body 8 at its rear longitudinal end supports a respective bracket, not shown, for the fastening of a backboard (not shown) of the drawer 1.
• the frame 6 has a support area for the buckets 7.
• This support area is defined by the upper face of the bars 11, by the upper face of a bar 33 parallel to the bodies 8 and which connects the centerlines of the bars 11 and by the upper face of a portion 34 which extends from the wall of the body 8 facing the other body 8.
• the buckets 7 have an upper edge 35 folded towards the outside by way of which each bucket 7 rests on the upper face of the corresponding area of the bars 11, of the bar 33 and of the portion 34.
• a drawer 1 which has a cover system of the guides 5 not only easy to assemble but also provided with simple fastening means and with means for adjusting the position of the tab 22 with respect to the tab 21 that allows to obtain a cover adaptable to dimensions of the guide 5 which may be different from cabinet maker to cabinet maker as already mentioned.
• the cover system besides an aesthetic function, protects the guides 5 from the collection of dust or anything else that could affect the sliding quality of the drawer 1.
• the drawer 1 has means for fastening the bodies 8 and the bars 11 one to the other that are also means for adjusting the distance between the bodies 8 so as to adapt to the width of the compartment 2 and to the dimensions of the guides 5. It should be noted that the adjustment is made using simple screws 15 screwed from above and overall without disassembling the various parts of the drawer 1.
