Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abfallsammelbehälter mit einem den Behälterinnenraum bildenden, hohlen Rumpf größerer Höhe als Breite oder Tiefe, an dessen Oberseite ein Deckel und in dessen unterem Bereich zwei Räder über eine Konsole befestigt sind, die als getrennt herstellbares Teil den Rumpf an den Außenwänden umfaßt.The invention relates to a waste collection container with a hollow hull forming the container interior of greater height than width or depth, on the upper side of which a lid and in the lower region of which two wheels are fastened via a console which, as a separately producible part, comprises the hull on the outer walls.

Es sind die unterschiedlichsten Abfallsammelbehälter bekannt. Die kleineren Behälter mit größerer Höhe als Breite oder Tiefe werden in verschiedenen Größen hergestellt, wobei der Deckel und die Radkonsole an die unterschiedlichen Größen angepaßt werden müssen, so daß ein hoher Fertigungsaufwand erforderlich ist.A wide variety of waste collection containers are known. The smaller containers with a greater height than width or depth are produced in different sizes, the lid and the wheel console having to be adapted to the different sizes, so that a high manufacturing outlay is required.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, bei einfacher Konstruktion den Herstellungsaufwand verschiedener Abfallsammelbehältergrößen zu verringern.The object of the invention is to reduce the manufacturing outlay of different sizes of waste containers with a simple construction.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst,

  • daß die Konsole aus Kunststoff besteht,
  • daß die einteilige Wandung der Konsole den Rumpf unterbrechungsfrei durchgehend umgibt und
  • daß der/die Durchmesser des den Rumpf aufnehmenden Konsoleninnenraums sich nach unten hin verringert(n).
According to the invention, this object is achieved by
  • that the console is made of plastic,
  • that the one-piece wall of the console continuously surrounds the fuselage and
  • that the diameter of the console interior accommodating the fuselage decreases downwards.

Eine solche Radkonsole ist einfach herzustellen und zu montieren und kann an verschieden hohe Behälterümpfe im unteren Bereich befestigt werden, ohne unterschiedliche Konsolengrößen zu erfordern. Die Radkonsole kann somit in gleicher Bauform in hohen Stückzahlen für verschiedene Rumpfgrößen gefertigt werden, so daß der Herstellungsaufwand verringert ist. Auch ist der Abfallsammelbehälter in der Konstruktion, Herstellung und Montage besonders einfach und von hoher Wasserdichtheit.Such a wheel console is simple to manufacture and assemble and can be attached to different height container sumps in the lower area without requiring different console sizes. The wheel console can thus be manufactured in the same design in large numbers for different hull sizes, so that the manufacturing effort is reduced. The waste collection container is also particularly simple in design, manufacture and assembly and is highly watertight.

Von größtem Vorteil ist es, wenn in der Konsole der Rumpf formschlüssig und insbesondere klemmend einliegt. Auch kann die Konsole am Rumpf durch eine Rastverbindung oder durch Clipse befestigt sein. Ferner sollte die Konsole ein bandförmiges Flachmaterial aufweisen, dessen Höhe mit größer werdendem Abstand von den Rädern abnimmt.It is of the greatest advantage if the fuselage lies positively and in particular clamps in the console. The console can also be attached to the fuselage by a snap-in connection or by clips. Furthermore, the console should have a band-shaped flat material, the height of which decreases with increasing distance from the wheels.

Von größtem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Deckel an einem den Behälterrand bildenden oberen Abschlußrahmen angelenkt ist, der vom Rumpf getrennt herstellbar und am Rumpf befestigt ist. Hierdurch können sowohl die Radkonsole als auch der Deckelbereich, d.h Deckel mit Abschlußrahmen, in hohen Stückzahlen stets in der gleichen Art gefertigt werden und nur der den Abfall aufnehmende Rumpf wird in der Größe verschieden, in den erforderlichen, insbesondere kleineren Stückzahlen im Blasverfahren hergestellt, um hierdurch die unterschiedlichsten Abfallsammelbehältergrößen zu erhalten.It is of the greatest advantage if the lid is hinged to an upper end frame forming the container edge, which can be produced separately from the fuselage and is attached to the fuselage. As a result, both the wheel console and the lid area, ie lid with end frame, can always be manufactured in large numbers in the same manner and only the hull that receives the waste is manufactured in different sizes, in the required, in particular smaller, numbers using the blow molding process to obtain a wide variety of waste container sizes.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn der Abschlußrahmen eine, insbesondere leistenförmige Aufnahme für eine Hebevorrichtung bildet. Hierbei können auf dem Behälter verschiedene Abschlußrahmen mit unterschiedlich ausgebildeten Aufnahmen befestigbar sein, so daß der Behälter an die verschiedensten Hebevorrichtungen leicht anpaßbar ist.It when the end frame forms a, in particular strip-shaped receptacle for a lifting device is particularly advantageous. Various end frames with differently designed receptacles can be attached to the container so that the container can be easily adapted to a wide variety of lifting devices.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Figur 1:
Eine erste Seitenansicht und
Figur 2:
eine zweite Seitenansicht.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
Figure 1:
A first side view and
Figure 2:
a second side view.

Der Abfallsammelbehälter weist als Grundkörper einen hohlen, nach oben offenen und nach unten geschlossenen Rumpf 1 auf, der insbesondere im Blasverfahren oder als Spritzgußteil oder als rotationsgegossenes Teil aus Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Dieser Rumpf wird in unterschiedlichen Höhen H geschaffen, wobei aber der Außendurchmesser D1 im Bereich einer unten befestigten, zwei Räder 7 tragenden Radkonsole 2 und der Außendurchmesser D2 im Bereich eines oben befestigten Deckels 3 jeweils gleich groß ist. Somit ist unabhängig von der Größe H dafür gesorgt, daß die Abmessungen des Rumpfes 1 insbesondere Außendurchmesser D1, Breite B1 und Tiefe T1 im Bereich der Radkonsole stets gleich bleiben und in gleicher Weise am oberen Ende des Rumpfes 1 Außendurchmesser D2, Breite B2 und Tiefe T2 die gleichen Maße besitzen.The waste collection container has a hollow body 1 which is open at the top and closed at the bottom and which is produced in particular by the blowing process or as an injection molded part or as a rotationally molded part made of plastic. This fuselage is created at different heights H, but the outer diameter D1 in the area of a wheel console 2 fastened at the bottom, which supports two wheels 7, and the outer diameter D2 in the area of a cover 3 fastened at the top, are each of the same size. Thus, regardless of the size H, it is ensured that the dimensions of the fuselage 1, in particular the outer diameter D1, width B1 and depth T1, always remain the same in the region of the wheel console and in the same way at the upper end of the fuselage 1 outer diameter D2, width B2 and depth T2 have the same dimensions.

Die die Räder tragende, vom Rumpf getrennt hergestellte Konsole 2 umgibt den Rumpf 1 außen an allen senkrechten Außenwänden und bildet damit einen ringförmigen Bereich, der den Rumpf im unteren Bereich außen allseitig umfaßt. Hierbei wird unten von einem Ring auch dann gesprochen, wenn die Innenöffnungen des Ringes, bzw. der Konsole nicht kreisrund, sondern eckig, insbesondere viereckig ist, wobei die Ecken Abrundungen aufweisen.The console 2, which carries the wheels and is manufactured separately from the fuselage, surrounds the fuselage 1 on the outside on all vertical outer walls and thus forms an annular region which surrounds the fuselage on the outside in the lower region on all sides. This is also referred to below as a ring if the inner openings of the ring or the console are not circular, but rather angular, in particular quadrangular, the corners being rounded.

Die Konsole 2 weist als Kunststoffwände ein bandförmiges Flachmaterial 4 auf, dessen Höhe HB gleichbleibend sein kann. Im Ausführungsbeispiel nimmt die Höhe mit größer werdendem Abstand von den Rädern ab. Die Konsole 2 liegt formschlüssig insbesondere klemmend am Rumpf 1 an, wobei die einteilige Wandung der Konsole den Rumpf 1 unterbrechungsfrei durchgehend umgibt und daß der/die Durchmesser des den Rumpf 1 aufnehmenden Konsoleninnenraums sich nach unten hin verringert(n). Auch kann die Konsole am Rumpf 1 durch eine Rastverbindung oder durch Clipse befestigt sein. Ferner können separate Befestigungselemente verwendet werden.The console 2 has, as plastic walls, a band-shaped flat material 4, the height HB of which can be constant. In the exemplary embodiment, the height decreases with increasing distance from the wheels. The console 2 lies in a form-fitting manner, in particular by clamping, on the fuselage 1, the one-piece wall of the console continuously surrounding the fuselage 1 without interruption and in that the diameter of the interior of the console receiving the fuselage 1 decreases downwards. The console can also be attached to the fuselage 1 by a snap-in connection or by clips. Separate fasteners can also be used.

Der Deckel 3 ist an einem oberen waagerechten, vom Rumpf getrennt hergestellten Abschlußrahmen 5 durch ein Scharnier 6 angelenkt. Der Abschlußrahmen 5 bildet eine, insbesondere leistenförmige Frontaufnahme für die Hebevorrichtung eines Müllfahrzeugs. Hierbei ist die Aufnahme 8 an die unterschiedlichen Hebevorrichtungen konstruktiv angepaßt. Der Deckel 3 und der Abschlußrahmen 5 werden vom Rumpf 1 getrennt hergestellt und danach an den verschieden großen Rümpfen 1 befestigt.The lid 3 is hinged to an upper horizontal end frame 5, which is manufactured separately from the fuselage, by a hinge 6. The end frame 5 forms a, especially strip-shaped front receptacle for the lifting device of a garbage truck. Here, the receptacle 8 is structurally adapted to the different lifting devices. The lid 3 and the end frame 5 are manufactured separately from the fuselage 1 and then fastened to the fuselages 1 of different sizes.
