Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Abfallbehälter entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a waste container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Ein Abfallbehälter der gattungsgemäßen Art ist beispielsweise aus der DE-A-43 41 095 bekannt. Dieser Abfallbehälter weist einen zylindrischen Grundkörper auf, dessen obere waagerechte Öffnung durch ein kuppelförmiges Oberteil abgedeckt ist, das eine im Zenit des Oberteils liegende Einwurföffnung aufweist. Die Einwurföffnung nimmt einen zweiarmigen Schwingdeckel auf, dessen Außenseite der Kuppelkontur des Oberteils angepaßt ist. Der Schwingdeckel ist in seinem First schwenkbar am Oberteil gelagert und nimmt die Verschlußlage unter Einwirkung der Schwerkraft selbsttätig ein. Zum Freigeben eines Teils der Einwurföffnung kann der Schwingdeckel gleichermaßen entweder in der einen oder der anderen von zwei zueinander entgegengesetzten Schwenkrichtungen in den Innenraum des Abfallbehälters hineingeschwenkt werden.A waste container of the generic type is known for example from DE-A-43 41 095. This waste container has a cylindrical base body whose upper horizontal opening is covered by a dome-shaped upper part, which has a lying in the zenith of the upper part insertion opening. The throw-in opening takes on a two-armed swing lid, the outside of the dome contour of the upper part is adapted. The swing lid is pivotally mounted in its first on the upper part and takes the closure position automatically under the action of gravity. For releasing a part of the insertion opening of the swing lid can be pivoted either in one or the other of two opposite pivot directions in the interior of the waste container.

Die DE-U-296 23 858 zeigt ebenfalls einen Abfallbehälter mit einem unter Einwirkung der Schwerkraft die Verschlußlage selbsttätig einnehmenden Schwingdeckel, der von einer im Oberteil des Abfallbehälters befindlichen Einwurföffnung aufgenommen wird und der zur Freigabe eines Teils der Einwurföffnung ebenfalls gleichermaßen entweder in der einen oder der anderen von zwei zueinander entgegengesetzten Schwenkrichtungen in den Innenraum des Abfallbehälters hineingeschwenkt werden kann. Der Schwingdeckel dieses Abfallbehälters ist eben ausgebildet und weist einen runden Grundriß auf.DE-U-296 23 858 also shows a waste container with a self-engaging under the action of gravity, the swing lid, which is received by a located in the top of the garbage container insertion and the release of a portion of the throw opening also equally either in the one or the other of two mutually opposite pivoting directions can be pivoted into the interior of the waste container. The swing lid this garbage bin is flat and has a round outline.

Ferner sind Abfallbehälter mit Schwingdeckel auf dem Markt erhältlich, bei denen der Schwingdeckel zur Freigabe eines Teils der Einwurföffnung nur in dem einen Sinne um einen gewissen Winkel in den Innenraum des Abfallbehälters hineingeschwenkt werden kann, während sich der Schwingdeckel im Zuge der unter Einwirkung der Schwerkraft selbsttätig erfolgenden, entgegengesetzten Schwenkbewegung bei Einnahme der Verschlußlage an einen Anschlag im Bereich der Einwurföffnung anlegt.Furthermore, litter bins with swing lids are available on the market, in which the swing lid can be pivoted to release a portion of the throw opening only in one sense by a certain angle in the interior of the waste container, while the swing lid in the course of under the action of gravity automatically Successful, opposite pivoting movement when taking the closure position to a stop in the region of the insertion opening applies.

Aus der DE-A-199 01 159 schließlich ist es bekannt, einen Abfallbehälter mit kuppelförmigem Oberteil mit zwei im Oberteil schwenkbar gelagerten Deckeln auszustatten, wobei die beiden Deckel von der einen bzw. anderen von zwei in Umfangsrichtung etwa 120° distanzierten Einwurföffnungen aufgenommen werden, die sich jeweils außerhalb des Zenits des Oberteils befinden.Finally, it is known from DE-A-199 01 159 to equip a waste container with a dome-shaped upper part with two lids which are pivotally mounted in the upper part, wherein the two lids are received by the one or the other of two opening openings spaced approximately 120 ° in the circumferential direction, each located outside the zenith of the upper part.

Bei den bekannten Abfallbehältern mit Schwingdeckel besteht mehr oder weniger stark ausgeprägt der Nachteil, daß der Schwingdeckel nach einer Benutzung des Abfallbehälters nicht oder nicht immer die vorgesehene Verschlußlage mit ausreichender Genauigkeit wieder selbsttätig einnimmt. Das hat seinen Grund darin, daß der vom Schwenklager des Schwinghebels ausgehende Reibungswiderstand die in der Nähe der Verschlußlage des Schwingdeckels erheblich abnehmenden, für die selbsttätig erfolgende Schwenkbewegung des Schwingdeckels verantwortlichen Momente/Kräfte mehr oder weniger überwiegt. Der Schwingdeckel kommt deshalb mehr oder weniger weit vor Erreichen der Verschlußlage zum Stillstand. Das ist nicht nur in ästhetischer Hinsicht unschön, sondern vor allem im Hinblick auf geruchsmäßig möglichst dichten Abschluß der Einwurföffnung des Abfallbehälters nachteilig.In the known garbage containers with swing lid is more or less pronounced the disadvantage that the swing lid after use of the waste container not or not always automatically assumes the intended closure position with sufficient accuracy again. The reason for this is that the frictional resistance emanating from the pivot bearing of the oscillating lever more or less outweighs the moments / forces which are considerably reduced in the vicinity of the closure position of the oscillating lid and which are responsible for the automatic pivoting movement of the oscillating lid. The swing lid therefore comes to a standstill more or less before reaching the closure position. This is not only aesthetically ugly, but especially with regard to odor dense as possible completion of the opening of the waste container disadvantageous.

Aufgabetask

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, im Anschluß an einen üblichen Nutzungsvorgang ein selbsttätig und möglichst präzise erfolgendes Einnehmen der Verschlußlage durch den Schwingdeckel zu gewährleisten.The present invention is therefore based on the object, following a usual use to ensure an automatic and precise as possible taking the closure position by the swing lid.

Vorteileadvantages

Die nach der Erfindung vorgesehenen magnetischen Mittel sorgen dafür, daß der oder die Schwingdeckel nach einer üblichen Nutzung des Abfallbehälters wieder präzise und selbsttätig die vorgesehene Verschlußlage einnehmen; hierzu sind die von den magnetischen Mitteln aufeinander ausgeübten Kräfte selbstverständlich derart bemessen, daß sie schon genügend weit vor Erreichen der Verschlußlage des Schwingdeckels ausreichende, die erwähnten Reibungswiderstände des Schwenklagers des Schwingdeckels im Sinne des Einnehmens der Verschlußlage überwindende Kräfte/ Momente erzeugen. Damit wird gewährleistet, daß die Einwurföffnung nach Nutzung des Abfallbehälters stets bestmöglich verschlossen ist und bleibt.The provided according to the invention magnetic means ensure that the or the swing lid after a normal use of the waste container again and take the intended closure position precisely and automatically; For this purpose, the forces exerted on one another by the magnetic means are, of course, dimensioned such that they generate sufficient forces / moments already enough to reach the closure position of the swing lid, the mentioned frictional resistances of the pivot bearing of the swing lid in the sense of taking the closure position. This ensures that the opening after use of the waste container is always the best possible closed and remains.

Die Ansprüche 2 und 3 nennen zwei alternative, grundsätzlich mögliche Ausführungsarten des erfindungsgemäßen Abfallbehälters im Hinblick auf den Anbringungsort der magnetischen Mittel.The claims 2 and 3 mention two alternative, basically possible embodiments of the waste container according to the invention with regard to the mounting location of the magnetic means.

Bevorzugt wird eine Lösung mit doppelt und symmetrisch vorgesehener Anordnung der magnetischen Mittel nach Maßgabe des Anspruches 4.Preferred is a solution with double and symmetrical arrangement of the magnetic means according to claim 4.

A preferred solution for the mounting location of the magnetic means proposes claim 7.

Die aus zwei einander zugeordneten Elementen bestehenden magnetischen Mittel können gemäß Anspruch 8 jeweils ein Permanentmagnet sein, wobei diese Permanentmagnete dann selbstverständlich im Sinne der Erfindung entsprechend "gepolt" an zum Oberteil bzw. zum Schwingdeckel gehörenden Bereichen angeordnet sind. Eine alternative Lösung hierzu nennt Anspruch 9. Eine solche Lösung kann bei entsprechender Gestaltung des magnetisierbaren Anziehungskörpers zusätzliche Vorteile im Hinblick auf Funktion und Herstellungskosten haben.The magnetic means consisting of two mutually associated elements can each be a permanent magnet according to claim 8, wherein these permanent magnets are of course correspondingly "poled" according to the invention to areas belonging to the upper part or to the swing lid. An alternative solution to this is called claim 9. Such a solution may, if appropriate Design of the magnetizable attraction body have additional advantages in terms of function and manufacturing costs.

Der zweiarmig und symmetrisch ausgebildete Schwingdeckel 5 ist in seinem First 7 schwenkbar am Oberteil 4 gelagert.The drawing shows a waste container 1, which consists essentially of a slightly conical base body 2 with base 3 and an upper part 4 with swing cover 5. The upper part 4 is attached to an upper, unspecified horizontal opening of the base body 2. The swing cover 5 is received by a located at the zenith of the dome-shaped upper part 4 insertion opening 6 and is adapted on its outside the dome contour of the upper part 4 such that the outside of the upper part 4 and swing cover 5 in the closed position of the swing lid 5 - as shown in the drawing form a uniform, substantially contiguous outer surface. The two-armed and symmetrical swing lid 5 is pivotally mounted in its first 7 on the upper part 4.

An die beiden im Grundriß geradlinig verlaufenden, mit 8 bzw. 9 bezeichneten Begrenzungskanten des Schwingdeckels 5 schließt der eine bzw. andere von zwei Fortsätzen 10 und 11 an, die sich in Richtung auf den Innenraum des Abfallbehälters 1 zu erstrekken. Die Fortsätze 10, 11 weisen in ihrem oberen Bereich die eine bzw. andere von zwei Lagerbuchsen 12, 13 auf, in denen sich der eine bzw. andere von zwei Lagerzapfen 14, 15 führt. Die Lagerzapfen 14, 15 sind an dem einen bzw. anderen von zwei weiteren Fortsätzen 16, 17 angeordnet, die an die beiden im Grundriß geradlinig verlaufenden, mit 18 bzw. 19 bezeichneten Begrenzungskanten der Einwurföffnung 6 des Oberteils 4 anschließen.To the two in plan outline rectilinear, designated 8 and 9 boundary edges of the swing lid 5 includes one or the other of two extensions 10 and 11, which extend towards the interior of the waste container 1. The extensions 10, 11 have in their upper region one or the other of two bearing bushes 12, 13, in which one or the other of two bearing pins 14, 15 leads. The bearing journals 14, 15 are arranged on one or the other of two further extensions 16, 17, which adjoin the two rectilinear planing edges, designated 18 and 19, of the insertion opening 6 of the upper part 4.

Die Lagerbuchsen 12, 13 und die Lagerzapfen 14, 15 definieren eine Schwenkachse 20 für den in einander entgegengesetzte Schwenkrichtungen in den Innenraum des Abfallbehälters 1 hineinschwenkbar am Oberteil 4 gelagerten Schwingdeckel 5.The bearing bushes 12, 13 and the bearing pins 14, 15 define a pivot axis 20 for the pivotable in opposite directions in the interior of the waste container 1 in the interior of the waste container 1 mounted on the upper part 4 swing cover. 5

Mit vorbestimmtem Abstand von der Schwenkachse 20 ist lotrecht unter der Schwenkachse 20 an den Fortsätzen 16, 17 das eine bzw. andere von zwei magnetischen Mitteln in Form von Permanentmagneten 21, 22 angeordnet, denen das eine bzw. andere von zwei an den Fortsätzen 10, 11 angeordneten, in Form von Permanentmagneten 23, 24 ausgebildeten magnetischen Mitteln zugeordnet ist.
