Description

[0001] The invention relates to a garbage can cabinet with an odor-free sealing lid according to claims 1-13, into which garbage cans with open garbage can lids are placed by only having to touch them on their handles, i.e. not on the opposite, rear side at the receiving lugs for the garbage truck, in order to place them in it for later filling, and which is sealed odor-free by closing the garbage can cabinet door and subsequently closing the garbage can cabinet filling lid with one-hand operation, which simultaneously locks the garbage can cabinet door and can be lockable.

[0002] The existing systems, unless the bin was placed backwards in the enclosure by touching the dirty lifting tabs for the garbage truck, can only be filled by reaching around the filling lids, opening the lids in opposite directions, or tilting or folding the bin out. In most cases, it is necessary to put down the garbage first to open these systems. (Compare DE G 82 25 689.6 and G 79 12 020.0)

[0003] The object of the invention is to manufacture a garbage can cabinet into which the garbage can is pushed by its handles and by closing the garbage can cabinet door and subsequently closing the garbage can cabinet filling lid, with one-handed operation for filling the garbage can, the garbage can is sealed without odor.

[0004] The problem is solved by the subject matter of claim 1. Further developments of the invention are described in the dependent claims.

[0005] This allows the bin to be conveniently wheeled into the bin cabinet without having to touch the dirty and potentially hazardous lifting tabs for the garbage trucks, and when filling the bin later, it does not have to be folded out or reached around the lid, but filling is conveniently done by opening the bin cabinet filling lid of our bin cabinet with one hand.
