Description

[0001] The invention relates to a waste collection container, and more particularly to a waste collection container carrying additional bins.

[0002] It is known to use, for private individuals and professionals, overhead waste collection containers to store their waste prior to collection by a suitable vehicle.

[0003] Typically, waste containers are wheeled bins as defined in standard EN 840:2020. In particular, 2 wheels bins have volumes of less than 500 liters, typically ranging from 60 liters to 400 liters, or 120 liters to 370 liters. Optionally, 2 wheels bins can have a third wheel on the front of a lower wall of the bin. Typically, 4 wheels bins have volumes less than or equal to 1700 liters, with volumes typically ranging from 400 liters to 1700 liters, or from 500 liters to 1100 liters.

[0004] In order to ensure selective waste sorting by a user, it is possible to provide several waste collection containers in order to create several waste collection flows. However, this leads to the creation of a large volume of different containers, even for small-volume waste streams. As a result, it is also difficult to provide each user with a waste collection container for each waste stream, as the number of waste streams can be important.

[0005] It is also known to equip a waste collection container with a dividing wall in order to divide its storage volume into several waste storage compartments for different types of waste. This solution, while interesting, limits the number of streams that can be created from a single waste collection container.

[0006] Finally, it is known to arrange one or more additional bins inside a waste collection container, these additional bins forming waste storage sub-volumes. Each additional bin may form a single sub-volume or be divided into several waste storage sub-volumes. In this solution, a holder is attached to the waste container, with one or more additional bins attached to the holder so as to extend into the waste collection container. They thus create waste storage sub-volumes, the number of which can vary, in addition to the main storage volume of the waste collection container.

[0007] However, existing solutions can be limited in terms of modularity, particularly in terms of the possibility of adapting a variable number of additional bins to a waste collection container and the positioning of these bins relative to the holder, regardless of the latter shape.

[0008] The invention is intended to provide a holder for additional waste collection bins for a waste collection container, allowing greater modularity when additional waste collection bins are added to a waste collection container.

[0009] To this end, the invention has as its object a holding device for additional waste collection bins intended to be arranged in a waste collection container, the holding device being formed as a linear profile and being intended to be arranged on only one top edge of a wall of the waste collection container, the holding device comprising a main body designed so as to extend around the top edge of a waste collection container, the holding device being intended to be supported by only one top edge of the wall of a waste collection container.

[0010] In this way, a holding device is obtained whose installation on a waste collection bin is facilitated by the fact that it rests on only one side of a top edge of a waste collection container. It is therefore possible to place the latter wherever you wish on said side (in the center, off-center, etc.) without being constrained by the shape of the waste collection container. In addition, and depending on the size and position of the holding device on the waste collection container, it is possible for one or more additional bins to be added so as to face the holding device in their entirety, or, on the other hand, to have part of them offset from the support.

[0011] The holding device according to the invention can also comprise at least one of the following features : the main body comprises a first side wall intended to extend along an inner face of a side wall of a waste collection container, the first side wall comprising at least one first receiving element for at least one additional bin, the first receiving element comprises at least one slide provided on the first side wall, the first side wall is intended to extend along an inner face of a side wall of a waste collection container over a length of at least 100 mm and typically comprised between 120 and 160 mm, the main body comprises a second side wall intended to extend along an outer face of a side wall of a waste collection container over a length of at least 100 mm and typically comprised between 120 and 160 mm, the main body comprises a top wall extending from the first side wall to the second side wall and intended to cap a top edge of a waste collection container, the top wall comprises at least one second receiving element for receiving at least one additional bin, and the second receiving element is formed by at least one receiving hole for receiving an additional bin and a fastening mean and / or at least one receiving groove for receiving at least one additional bin and / or at least one receiving shoulder for receiving at least one additional bin.

[0012] The invention also has as its object an assembly of a holding device according to the invention and at least one additional bin intended to be arranged on a waste collection container.

[0013] The assembly according to the invention can also comprise at least one of the following features : the additional bin comprises at least one first fastening element housed in the first receiving element, the first fastening element comprises at least one protrusion inserted in the slide provided on the first side wall, the protrusion comprising a wall intended to extend substantially parallel to the first receiving element, the protrusion wall (28) being in surface contact with the first receiving element, the additional bin comprises at least one second fastening element interacting with the second receiving element, the second fastening element comprises : ∘ at least one fastening hole aligned with the receiving hole, and / or ∘ at least one fastening tab inserted in the receiving groove, and the additional bin is configured to support at least one lid hinged on the additional bin, the lid being dimensioned to close a storage volume defined by the additional bin.

[0014] The invention also has as its object a waste collection container comprising an assembly according to the invention.Brief description of the figures

Detailed description

[0016] We now refer to figures 1 to 4 illustrating a holding device 2 for additional waste collection bins (herein after named "additional bins") intended to be arranged in a waste collection container (herein after named "container"). The holding device 2 allows to place one or several additional bins inside a waste collection container, allowing to create several waste flows for selective sorting by forming waste storage sub-volumes. The additional bins are attached to the holding device 2 and placed into a waste collection volume of the container.

[0017] The container comprises a tank delimiting a main waste storage volume, the tank being formed by at least side walls and a bottom wall attached to the side walls. The tank comprises an opening intended to be closed by a lid, substantially square in shape (this shape may vary, for example by being rectangular for large-volume waste collection bins), at its upper end, in the vertical direction. In addition, the tank may comprise a flange on a top edge of the container delimiting the opening, which provides mechanical reinforcement for tank, particularly for lifting when emptying the container. In addition, flange can be used to support the contours of a lid. It can include reinforcing ribs. At least one handle can be provided (attached to the tank or made in one piece with it) to enable the container to be easily grasped by an operator. The side walls may include recesses forming reinforcement structures for the side walls. The container can comprise several wheels. The container is well known from a person skilled in the art and will not be described in more details.

[0018] The holding device 2 is intended to be arranged as a linear profile only on a top edge of a wall of the container, for example on a flange arranged on this top edge, the holding device 2 comprising a main body 4 being designed so as to extend around the top edge of the container, the holding device 2 being intended to extend around only one side of the top edge of the container. The holding device 2 can extend only on one part of one side of the top edge, or along the entire length of one side of this top edge. Several holding devices 2 can be arranged on a same side of the top edge of the container. As explained above, This offers greater flexibility in the placement of the holding device 2 on the container, and in the placement of one or more additional bins on the holding device 2. Figures 11 to 16 show different placement of one or more holding devices 2 arranged on different type of containers, with different number and kind of additional bins put on these holding devices 2.

[0019] By "linear profile" we mean a rectilinear or straight profile extending only on one part of one side of the top edge, or along the entire length of one side of this top edge. It forms the only support part of an assembly formed by the holding device 2 and additional bins 24 on the top edge, the additional bins 24 being only in contact with the holding device 2.

[0020] The holding device 2 main body 4 typically have a substantially U-shaped cross section in order to be place on one side of the top edge of the container. Figures 3, 8 and 9 show this U-shaped form. The latter allows an easy placement of the holding device 2 on the container.

[0021] Advantageously, the main body 4 comprises a first side wall 6 intended to extend along an inner face of a side wall of a container, the first side wall 6 comprising at least one first receiving element 8 for at least one additional bin. Figure 2 show the first side wall 6 and the first receiving element 8 alone, figure 9 show them in interaction with an additional bin. This first side wall 6 allows to stabilize the holding device 2 on the container, and provides a support surface for the holding device 2 in regard of the container when the additional bin carried by the holding device 2 is loaded with waste. In fact, the force exerted by the weight of the additional bin will be partially supported by the interaction between the first side wall 6 and the container side wall. For example, the first side wall 6 is intended to extend along an inner face of a container side wall over a length of at least 100 millimeters (abbreviated as mm) and typically comprised between 120 and 160 mm and even between 130 and 150 mm. This range of length allows to ensure a good support of any additional bin loaded with waste.

[0022] Advantageously, the first receiving element 8 comprises at least one slide 8' provided on the first side wall. This slide 8' is arranged between to walls and is intended to interact with a first fastening element arranged on an additional bin. This kind of interaction (i.e., sliding an additional bin on the holding device 2) is an easy way to assemble additional bin(s) on the holding device 2. Furthermore, this can create a surface contact between the holding device 2 and the additional bin in order to partially supporting the weight of the additional bin loaded with waste. Advantageously, the slide 8' is intended to extend over a length of at least 100 mm and typically comprised between 120 and 160 mm and even between 130 and 150 mm. The holding device 2 main body 4 comprises a second side wall 10 intended to extend along an outer face of a side wall of a container. Once again, this second side wall 10 allows to stabilize the holding device 2 on the container, and provides a support surface for the holding device 2 in regard of the container when the additional bin carried by the holding device 2 is loaded with waste. The force exerted by the weight of the additional bin will be partially supported by the interaction between the second side wall 10 and a wall of the container. For example, the second side wall 10 is intended to extend along an outer face of a side wall of container over a length of at least 100 mm and typically comprised between 120 and 160 mm and even between 130 and 150 mm. This range of length allows to ensure a good support of any additional bin loaded with waste. Preferably, the second side wall 10 can be reinforced with at least one additional rib 10' (see figure 3), for example by two additional ribs 10' in order to reinforce the holding device 2 at a junction between the top wall 12 and the second side wall 10. Preferably, two pairs of two additional ribs 10' are placed on ends of the second side wall 10, preferably in the first quarter of the second side wall 10 from each end of the latter.

[0023] The holding device 2 main body 4 comprises a top wall 12 extending from the first side wall 6 to the second side wall 10 and intended to cap the top edge of a container. The top wall 12 can comprise at least one second receiving element 14 for receiving at least one additional bin. In other words, any additional bin mounted on the holding device 2 can interact with the first side wall 6 and the top wall 12 in order to obtain a greater stability of the additional bin and in order to support an additional bin loaded with waste.

[0024] For example, the second receiving element 14 is formed by at least one receiving hole 16 (only one part are referenced in the figures) for receiving a second fastening element. The second receiving element 14 can also comprise : At least one receiving shoulder 17' (only one part are referenced in the figures) for receiving at least one additional bin. At least one receiving groove 17 (only one part are referenced in the figures) for receiving at least one additional bin

[0025] Preferably, the second receiving element 14 is formed by a combination of at least one receiving hole 16, at least one receiving groove 17 and at least one receiving shoulder 17'.

[0026] For example, figure 1 shows a holding device 2 comprising several receiving holes 16, these receiving holes 16 being placed on different blocks, each block comprising a shoulder 17', the different blocks being separated by receiving grooves 17. As described below, an additional bin can comprise a second fastening structure allowing an interaction with the receiving holes 16 (for example a fastening hole aligned with the receiving hole 16 and through which a fastening device as a pin can pass) and with the shoulder 17' / grooves 17 (for example a hollow structure extending around the shoulder 17' and the grooves 17, i.e. around the blocks in the example illustrated).

[0027] Preferably, the interaction between the second receiving element 14 and a second fastening element (described below) extend in a vertical direction when the holding device 2 and an additional bin are assembled on a container, and more generally in a direction perpendicular to the force exerted by an additional bin loaded with waste. Once again, this allows to partially support the force exerted by an additional bin loaded with waste.

[0028] Typically, the holding device comprises means for gripping it in order to empty the additional bin(s) by a lifting device of a vehicle collection. Advantageously, the top wall 12 comprises further at least one opening for gripping the holding device 2 by an additional bin emptying member of a collection vehicle. This allows to empty the additional bin(s) independently of emptying the main volume of the waste collection container. The position of the opening can be different on the top wall 12. Alternatively, the top wall can be manufactured without any opening (as shown on figures). The openings allow the holding device 2 to be compatible with existing lifting equipment. The opening shape can be different from a circle. For example, it may be oblong.

[0029] The top wall 12 can comprise, as illustrated on figure 4, a set of reinforcing ribs 20 extending along the top wall 12 from the first side wall 6 to the second side wall 8. Indeed, and as explained above, the side walls 6 and 8 and the top wall 12 can be involved in the stability and the support of one or several additional bins attached to the holding device 2. The reinforcing ribs 20 reinforce the holding device 2 to ensure its structural stability over time, despite the almost constant solicitation of the additional bins loaded with waste.

[0030] Centering means can be placed under the placed on the main body 4, preferably placed on the second side wall 10, allowing to center the holding device 2 on a lifting equipment. Centering means can be formed by a V-shaped groove or by any other means known to the skilled person. For example, ribs can be placed between the top wall 12 and the second side wall 10 to create a recess between them, this recess being a centering mean. During a lifting procedure, a part of a lifting equipment can be placed into the centering means, for example into the V-shaped groove, in order to center / index the holding device 2 on the lifting equipment. This allows to ensure a good emptying process of the additional bins 24 carried by the holding device 2.

[0031] Furthermore, the holding device 2 can be made of plastic or metal. For example, it can be made of polyamide, for example polyamide 6, comprising reinforcing fibers. Once again, this allows to ensure the holding device 2 structural stability over time, despite the almost constant solicitation of the additional bins loaded with waste.

[0032] The invention also relates to an assembly 22 a holding device 2 according to the invention and at least one additional bin 24 intended to be arranged on a container. Figures 7 to 11 illustrate assemblies 22 according to the invention.

[0033] Figures 5 et 6 show two variants of an additional bin 24 according to the invention. The two variants differ from each other in the number of fastening elements carried, as well as in the size of the additional bin 24 storage volume.

[0034] The additional bin 24 comprises at least one first fastening element 26 configured to be housed in the first receiving element 8. In the example illustrated, the first fastening element 26 comprises at least one protrusion 26' inserted in the slide 8' (i.e. the first receiving element 8) provided on the first side wall 6.

[0035] Advantageously, the protrusion 26' comprises a wall 28 intended to extend substantially parallel to the first receiving element 8. For example, on figure 9, the protrusion wall 28 is in contact with one of the walls (called herein after "receiving wall 30") between which the slide 8' is laid out. This contact could be a surface contact or a contact via ribs 29.. The receiving wall 30 can be in contact with the additional bin wall 32 via ribs 31. As explained above, this configuration allows to support the additional bin 24 loaded with waste. This contact could also be a surface contact, the aim being to create contact between the receiving wall 30 and the additional bin wall 32.

[0036] Alternatively, the protrusion can comprise ribs for linear contact with the first receiving element 8, and the receiving wall 30 can comprise ribs for linear contact with the additional bin wall 32. For example, on figure 10: the protrusion wall 28 is in surface contact with the receiving wall 30; the protrusion is in linear contact (via ribs) with the first side wall 6 forming the slide with the receiving wall; and the receiving wall 30 is in linear contact (via ribs) with the additional bin wall 32.

[0037] As described above, the additional bin 24 can comprise at least one second fastening element 33 interacting with the second receiving element 14. This second fastening element can comprise: At least one fastening hole 34 aligned with the receiving hole 16. In figure 7, the additional bin 24 comprises as many fastening holes 34 as there are receiving holes 16. The aligned holes can then be crossed by a fastener such as fastening means 38 (such as a pin, a screw, or a rivet, a clip, etc.), as shown on figure 9. At least one fastening tab 36 inserted in the receiving groove 17. On figure 11, several fastening tabs 36 extend in several receiving grooves 17. Furthermore, and as shown on this figure, another fastening tab 36 is put against shoulders 17', the fastening tabs 36 surrounding all the blocks described above.

[0038] Optionally, the additional bin 24 is configured to support a lid hinged on the additional bin. Typically, said lid is placed on a side of the top edge of the additional bin 24. The lid is typically configured to close the storage volume of the additional bin 24. Each additional bin 24 can support a lid to close its storage volume.

[0039] Alternatively, the additional bin 24 can support a double lid form by at least two lid elements intended to close several different storage volumes of different additional bins 24. Optionally, the double lid can be simultaneously supported by different additional bins.

[0040] As shown on the figures 7 to 11, all the interactions described above (wall against wall, ribs against wall, pin(s) crossing aligned holes, tabs against grooves) extend preferably in a direction perpendicular to the force exerted by the additional bin 24 loaded with waste.

[0041] Preferably, and as shown on figures 12 and 13, the additional bin 24 can be divided into a plurality of waste storage sub-volumes in order to create more waste flows.

[0042] Figures 12 to 19 illustrate waste containers according to the invention: Figure 12 shows a first container 40 comprising a first tank 42 forming a first waste storage volume. This volume is divided in two equal parts by a first dividing wall 44. Only one holding device 2 is placed against one side of the top edge of the first container 40 (and centered on this side), extending from both sides of the first dividing wall 44. Each part of the first waste storage volume comprises an additional bin 24 (in this example, the additional bins are divided in several sub-volumes in order to create different waste flows). Only one part of each additional bin 24 is placed in front of the holding device 2, another part being offset in view of the holding device 2; Figure 13 shows the same first container 40 as figure 12, the only difference between figures 12 and 13 being the first dividing wall 44 removal. Indeed, in this example, there is only one waste storage volume and several sub-volumes defined by the additional bins 24, each additional bin 24 being divided in several sub-volumes in order to create different waste flows; Figure 14 shows a first container 40 comprising a first tank 42 forming a first waste storage volume. This volume is divided in two non-equal parts by a first dividing wall 44. Only one holding device 2 is placed against one side of the top edge of the first container 40 (and off-center on this side), extending from both sides of the first dividing wall 44. Each part of the first waste storage volume comprises an additional bin 24 (in this example, the additional bins are not divided in several sub-volumes). Only one part of one additional bin 24 is placed in front of the holding device 2, another part being offset in view of the holding device 2. The other additional bin 24 is fully placed in front of the holding device 2; Figure 15 shows the same first container 40 as figure 14, the only difference between figures 14 and 15 being the first dividing wall 44 removal. Indeed, in this example, there is only one waste storage volume and several sub-volumes defined by the additional bins 24; Figure 16 shows a second container 46 comprising a second tank 48 larger than the first tank 42 and forming a second waste storage volume. This volume is divided in two parts by a second dividing wall 50. Only one holding device 2 is placed against one side of the top edge of the first container 40, extending from both sides of the second dividing wall 50. Each part of the first waste storage volume comprises an additional bin 24 (in this example, each additional bin 24 forms only one sub-volume). Only one part of each additional bin 24 in placed in front of the holding device 2, another part being offset in view of the holding device 2; Figure 17 shows the same second container 46 as figure 16, the only difference between figures 16 being the second dividing wall 50 removal. Indeed, in this example, there is only one waste storage volume and several sub-volumes defined by the additional bins 24, each additional bin 24 forming only one sub-volume; Figure 18 shows the same second container 46 as figure 16, the differences between figures 14 being the placement of two holding devices 2 on a same side of the top edge of the second container 46, each holding device 2 being connected to one additional bin 24, each additional bin 24 forming only one sub-volume. The additional bins 24 are larger than the ones of figures 12 to 17, and each additional bin is fully placed against a holding device 2; Figure 19 shows the same second container 46 as figure 18, the difference between figures 18 and 19 being the placement of two additional bins 24 on each holding device 2, each additional bin 24 forming only one sub-volume.

[0043] Other configurations than the ones of figures 12 to 19 can be possible. For example, it would be possible to use only one large additional bin 24 attached to several holding devices 2, several first receiving elements 8 of different holding devices 2 interacting with the same additional bin 24.List of references
