Abstract

The container for the collection of piece goods (clothing, electronic waste, metal scrap, etc.), which consists of a metal container with a special throw-in box, is characterized in that the attachment of the inclined throw-in plate (6) prevents the unauthorized removal of the scrap and the design of the throw-in box at the same time protects the general cargo from bad weather conditions.

Description

Basic problem / idea

The collection of general cargo (eg small electrical appliances, power cables, scrap metal, etc.) so far mainly takes place via central collection points of the municipalities. However, a large part of the valuable waste fraction is still likely to end up in household waste and is thus largely lost to recycling and value creation. The idea now is to set up a network of collection points in parallel with the public collection points for, for example, waste glass or paper, in order to facilitate the delivery of certain waste to the citizen, thereby increasing the return rate.

State of the art

Although the already existing collection containers are probably partially closed with flaps / doors, but it usually lacks a safeguard against unauthorized removal of thrown in collected goods. For variants that work with a rotary bed, such. As the used clothes, the built-in and quite movable parts of this construction are susceptible to defects and also offer no complete removal safety.

Problem Solution / Benefits

The technical solution, the drop box as an attachment to the actual container, offers complete freedom from maintenance and defect due to the lack of moving parts in the area of the throw. The user can not injure himself on doors or flaps or other exposed components of the construction. Due to the design and installation of the inclined insertion plate also the unauthorized removal of the groupage is effectively prevented because the container interior can neither be viewed nor can be achieved with normal technical aids (grippers). In contrast to existing solutions with flaps, which must be opened for use, and then possibly remain open, the groupage in this container can not be damaged by weather conditions. Another advantage is the new locking mechanism of the container. While always an internal lock is used in all existing collection, this container is constructed so that the interior of the container is not touched by the lock, but the locking system is mounted externally. This offers the great advantage that the (power) cables, which are still attached to the broken electrical appliances, can not entangle with mechanical components of the container.

Finally, the flexible container receptacle is a very significant advantage over already developed containers. On the container lid different recording systems (1-hook system, Schäfersystem, Ruthmannsystem, etc.), consisting of a counter-plate and the respective hook system, by means of a screw, are attached.

Claims (8)

The container for the collection of general cargo (clothing, electronic waste, metal scrap, etc.), which consists of a metal container with a special box, is characterized in that the attachment of the oblique insertion plate ( 6 ) prevents the unauthorized removal of the bulk scrap and the design of the throw-in box at the same time protects the cargo from bad weather conditions. The container according to claim 1, characterized in that the sliding plate ( 6 ) at least 63.5 cm wide, 50.1 cm long and 0.03 cm thick. The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that below the cover plate, a base plate is welded onto which different receiving systems (eg 1-hook , Grumbach, Kinshofer, Rühland etc.), consisting of a metal plate and the respective hook system, by means of a screw, attach. ( 4 ) The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that, in contrast to other collecting containers, the receiving and locking system are independent of each other, so that the interior of the container can be used barrier-free. Ie. there are no chains, other mechanical devices or obstructions within the plenum. The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that it has a special external lock ( 5 ) possesses, which comes into play when emptying the container. When emptying the locking bracket must be placed on a trailing edge, so that the steel tube of the locking system is pushed up and at the same time solve the three L-shaped angle iron and the bottom of the container opens. Three tension springs ensure that the container opens only with a specific opening, and not by burping during lifting or other vibration. To close the bottom flap of the container after emptying on the ground The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the protective system around the locking system ( 2 ) is attached, which protects against unintentional opening during the lifting process. The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the drop box has no moving parts, so is not so prone to repairs and maintenance and there is no risk of injury to the user. The container according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that its construction has been chosen so that collection instructions can be mounted on the container at eye level.
