Description

I. Area of ​​application

[0001] The present invention relates to a holding device for theft-resistant restraint of a flexible container with an opening having an opening edge, wherein the opening edge is dimensionally stable by means of a band-like flat material that is elastically bendable and the flat material assumes a curved shape with a curvature. The band-like flat material can in particular be a flat material such as is found in the Figs. 1 to 10 This is shown in WO 2021 / 228991 A2. The flexible container can be, in particular, a container such as those shown in the Fig. 22 and 23 The WO 2021 / 228991 A2 is shown. II. Technical Background

[0002] From WO 2021 / 228991 A2, it is known to hold flexible containers, for example in the form of sacks, bags or pouches, for collecting waste of any kind, the opening edge of which is stretched by means of an elastically bendable, band-like flat material, using holding devices. For example, the one in Fig. 11 The holding device shown in WO 2021 / 228991 A2 is fundamentally suitable for holding the flexible container with its opening rim open in a location in a public space. Public space in this context refers to public places and squares that are permanently or temporarily accessible to a large number of people. Examples of such places or squares include football stadiums, event arenas, market squares, swimming pools, schools of all types, and the like.

[0003] The known holding device has the disadvantage that the flexible container it holds, along with the flat material that spans its opening rim, can be removed and stolen with a relatively simple movement. Such thefts are particularly likely to occur in publicly accessible places. III. Description of the invention a) Technical task

[0004] It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a holding device for holding a flexible container with an opening having an opening edge, with the aid of which the flexible container, the opening edge of which is stretched by the elastically bendable, band-like flat material, can be held in a theft-resistant manner in public places. b) Solution of the task

[0005] This problem is solved by means of a holding device with the features of claim 1. Further embodiments of the present invention are set forth in the dependent claims.

[0006] According to the invention, a holding device for theft-resistant securing of a flexible container with an opening having an opening rim is proposed. The opening rim of the container is stretched in a dimensionally stable manner by means of a band-like flat material that is elastically bendable. This causes the flat material to assume a curved shape. The flexible container is preferably a sack, bag, or pouch for collecting waste of any kind. The flat material can, for example, consist of elastically bendable metal, plastic, or composite material, in particular fiber-reinforced composite material.

[0007] The mounting device includes a fastening device for attaching the mounting device to a substrate, such as a wall, a masonry structure, a lamppost, another post, or any other suitable substrate. Fastening aids such as screws or cable ties may be used for attachment to the substrate, working in conjunction with the fastening device.

[0008] The holding device further comprises at least one support surface onto which a section of the curved flat material, together with an opening edge region of the opening edge abutting the section, can be placed upright. The support surface lies in a support plane or forms a support plane. The at least one support surface bears the weight of the flexible container together with the flat material.

[0009] At least one retaining element for holding the section of flat material from the rear, together with the opening edge region adjacent to the section, projects from the support plane. The retaining element is positioned, in particular, at an angle greater than 0° and less than 180° relative to the support plane, preferably at an angle of substantially 90° relative to the support plane, i.e., substantially perpendicular to the support plane.

[0010] The holding device according to the invention also comprises at least one locking device with a locking bar that is movable between a release position, in which the section of the flat material together with the opening edge area of ​​the opening edge adjacent to the section can be removed from the holding device, and a locking position, in which the section of the flat material together with the opening edge area of ​​the opening edge adjacent to the section cannot be removed from the holding device.

[0011] The holding device according to the invention further comprises a lifting stop device to prevent the removal of the section of the flat material together with the opening edge area of ​​the opening edge adjoining the section from the holding device by lifting in a direction away from the support plane.

[0012] According to the invention, the at least one support surface, the retaining element, the locking device with its locking bar and the lifting stop device are arranged relative to each other in such a way that, in the release position of the locking bar, a slightly curved section of the flat material, together with a slightly curved section of the opening edge area abutting the section, lies in a plane ora gap can be created between the retaining element and the bolt, and that in the locking position of the bolt the section of the flat material together with the opening edge area of ​​the opening edge adjacent to the section is positively locked on the one hand between the retaining element and the bolt and on the other hand between the support plane and the lifting stop device, so that the flat material and the container cannot be removed from the holding device without moving the bolt from its locking position.

[0013] The holding device according to the invention advantageously prevents the flexible container, together with the flat material spanning its opening edge, from being removed from the holding device by a simple tilting movement of the flat material. The locking mechanism provided according to the invention, with its locking bolt in the locked position, prevents a passerby in a public space or square from stealing the flexible container and the flat material as they pass by. The bolt thus provides the desired theft-inhibiting effect of the holding device according to the invention.

[0014] The section of the flat material, together with the adjacent portion of the opening edge, can be held with some play, i.e., loosely, between the locking bar and the retaining element. Preferably, however, a gap is designed between the locking bar and the retaining element such that the section of the flat material, together with the adjacent portion of the opening edge, can be clamped securely between the locking bar and the retaining element. This eliminates play between the retaining element and the section or portion on the one hand, and between the section or portion and the locking bar on the other. This advantageously ensures stable holding of the container, thus preventing any wobbling within the holding device.

[0015] The retaining element can be formed by a substantially linear edge, designed as a projection, or by a retaining surface. The retaining surface can also be designed in the form of a protruding area.

[0016] Preferably, the bolt has a free end that moves towards or away from the support plane when the bolt is moved between the release and locking positions. Advantageously, the free end of the bolt penetrates the support plane, at least in the locking position. In this way, the flat material, including the opening edge of the container, is held in a ring-like manner against the holding device in the locking position. This reliably prevents any forcing of the section of the flat material, including the associated portion of the opening edge, between the free end of the bolt and the support plane.

[0017] Preferably, at least the free end of the bolt is bent or curved in the same direction as the curvature of the flat material in such a way that the insertion of the partial section of the section of the flat material together with the partial area of ​​the opening edge of the opening edge adjacent to the partial section into the plane between the retaining element and the bolt is facilitated when the bolt is in the release position.

[0018] The locking mechanism can include a bolt designed either as a rotary bolt or a linear bolt. The rotary bolt is rotatable or pivotable about a pivot axis between the release position and the locking position. The linear bolt is movable linearly or in a straight line between the release position and the locking position.

[0019] Regardless of whether the locking device comprises a rotary bolt or a linear bolt, it can advantageously exhibit sufficient mechanical self-locking capability such that the bolt can only be moved between the release and locking positions with the aid of a tool wrench, and not by hand. This further enhances the anti-theft effect of the holding device according to the invention.

[0020] Advantageously, the bolt can be pre-tensioned into the locking position. In particular, it can be provided that the bolt can be pushed or moved into the release position against the pre-tension. To assist in this pushing or moving of the bolt into the release position, the bolt can have at least a partial ramp-like surface along which the bolt can be moved against the pre-tension in the direction of the release position by pressing a portion of the flat material against the ramp-like surface. This portion of the flat material then acts as a tool for moving the bolt into the release position.

[0021] If the section of the flat material, together with the adjacent portion of the opening edge, is located between the retaining element and the locking bolt, this tool is no longer available, and the container and flat material cannot be easily removed from the holding device. This is particularly due to the fact that any fingers of a person who pushes the bolt into the release position against its preload cannot be removed from the holding device without the bolt returning to the locked position. If the fingers remain on the bolt while pushing it into the release position, they form a mechanical obstruction that prevents the container and flat material from being removed from the holding device.

[0022] Preferably, the locking device includes a locking mechanism by which the bolt can be locked in its locked position, thus ensuring a positive fit in that position. Removal of the container, including the flat material, from the holding device is only possible if the person performing the removal possesses the key corresponding to the locking mechanism.

[0023] It is particularly advantageous to provide a bolt stop device against which the bolt abuts in the release position. The bolt stop device is designed such that, even when in the release position, the bolt still overlaps a section of the flat material inserted into the holding device and the opening edge area adjacent to that section. This is advantageous because, even in the release position, the bolt exerts a certain holding force on the flat material inserted into the holding device and the opening edge area adjacent to it. This prevents the container from tipping out with its open edge, even if it is released and the bolt has not yet moved from its release position to the locking position.

[0024] In addition to the retention of the container and flat material by the bolt of the locking device, at least one tilt stabilization device can advantageously be provided, which, when the section of the flat material is inserted into the holding device and the opening edge area of ​​the opening edge is adjacent to the section, is located on the same side of the flat material as the bolt in the locking position and thereby additionally counteracts a tilting movement of the flat material and the flexible container, particularly due to gravity.

[0025] Preferably, exactly two tilt stabilization devices can be provided, arranged on diametrically opposite sides of the locking mechanism. This results in a total of three tilt stabilization points: a first at the first tilt stabilization device, a second at the locking mechanism, and a third at the second tilt stabilization device. This advantageously stiffens the mounting of the container and the flat material in the holding device according to the invention.

[0026] Preferably, exactly two lifting stop devices can also be provided, arranged on diametrically opposite sides of the locking device.

[0027] Advantageously, the holding device can be provided with a lid connection device for preferably detachably attaching a lid to the holding device. The lid connection device is designed such that the lid is movable, preferably pivotable, between a closed position in which it at least partially closes the opening of the container and an open position in which the opening of the container is completely open. The lid can be designed as a solid plate, so that it completely closes the opening of the container in its closed position, or it can have a hole for throwing through, for example, waste, so that it only partially closes the opening of the container in its closed position.

[0028] Preferably, the holding device includes a lid stop for positively locking the lid in the open position. This prevents the lid from being unintentionally moved into its closed position, for example by wind forces.

[0029] Advantageously, the lid connection device can comprise two lid pin receptacles arranged on opposite sides of the holding device for receiving one lid pin each.

[0030] The lid pin receptacles can each have a first step and a second step, wherein the respective lid pin can be placed on the first step in the closed position of the lid and on the second step in the open position of the lid.

[0031] In a particularly advantageous manner, the first step can have a greater distance from the support plane formed by the at least one bearing surface than the second step. The relative positions of the first and second steps with respect to the lid stop device are designed such that the lid stop device holds the lid securely in the open position when the respective lid pin rests on the second step, and the lid stop device is bridged in such a way that the lid is freely movable between the open and closed positions when the respective lid pin rests on the first step. c) Examples of implementation

[0033] Identical reference numerals in the drawings denote identical parts or elements of the same embodiment or denote functionally corresponding parts or elements of different embodiments.

[0034] In the Figs. 1 to 11 The combination of a flexible container 6 (see Fig. 11The invention describes, for example, a sack or bag for collecting waste, with an elastically bendable, band-like flat material 1. The holding device according to the invention is designed to hold the combination of the flexible container 6 and the elastically bendable flat material 1 in a theft-resistant manner. It is also conceivable that the device according to the invention could hold other types of containers. It is only necessary that the opening edge has a geometry similar to that of the curved, band-like flat material 1.

[0035] The Figs. 1 to 4Figure 1 shows an example of a strip-like flat material 1 for clamping a flexible container, which can be held by the holding device according to the invention. The strip-like flat material 1 is characterized by being significantly longer and wider than it is thick. Its cross-section preferably has the shape of a flat or thin rectangle. This has the advantage that the flat material 1 can be expanded by a Fig. 3 The bending axis, which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, has such low bending resistance that it can be easily bent elastically around this bending axis by the hands of a user.

[0036] As an alternative to the example shown, other cross-sections of the flat material 1 are also conceivable. For example, a flattened cross-section that is not rectangular can be used. An elliptically shaped cross-section would be conceivable, which, similar to a rectangular cross-section, has one bending axis with a higher bending moment and one bending axis with a lower bending moment. In principle, the flat material 1 has a non-circular cross-section to ensure a tilt-resistant hold in the holding device according to the invention.

[0037] In the example shown, the flat material 1 consists of a one-piece spring steel strip, the strip thickness of which is designed such that bending around the in Fig. 3The bending axis, perpendicular to the drawing plane, can be easily bent by hand. Alternatively, it is conceivable to manufacture the flat material 1 from other one-piece spring elements, for example, from elastically resilient plastic, fiberglass or carbon fiber materials, or other composite materials that have elastically resilient properties. Furthermore, it is also conceivable to manufacture the flat material 1 not as a single piece, but to assemble it from two or more separate sections that are joined together in a suitable manner.

[0038] The flat material 1 exhibits the following characteristics: Fig. 1 marked, free ends 2, 3, each of which has a handling means in the form of an end section 8 or 9, respectively, which is each extended by the Fig. 3 The angle α drawn from the plane of the flat material 1, which is perpendicular to the drawing plane of the Fig. 3 It is bent outwards. In the view of the Fig. 3The longitudinal axis LA of the flat material 1 coincides with its strip plane.

[0039] In the example shown, the angle α is constant over the extent of the end sections 8, 9 and is preferably in the range of 10° to 85°, particularly preferably in the range of 40° to 80°. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the angle α is not constant over the extent or length of the end sections 8, 9, but rather increases and / or decreases to form differently shaped handling elements, so that, for example, circularly or spirally curved end sections would be created. The angle α in Fig. 3 The angle α visible then forms an initial angle at which the final section 8 or 9 emerges from the plane of the band.

[0040] In Fig. 2The flat material 1 projected onto the plane of the drawing is shown. In this view, it has a projected material length in the form of the strip length L, which is slightly shorter than the length that would result if the end sections 8, 9 were bent back into the plane of the strip. Fig. 2 The material width can also be seen in the form of the (actual) bandwidth B of the flat material 1.

[0041] The projected band length L and the band width B of the flat material 1 are to be designed and dimensioned such that, on the one hand, a section of the opening edge of a flexible container is to be held taut in a straight line between the free ends 2, 3 of the flat material 1, and on the other hand, the flexible container is to be held in a dimensionally stable manner, preferably in the area of ​​its opening, while the container preferably remains flexible in its remaining area. The ratio of the projected band length L to the band width B is at least 20:1, particularly preferably at least 40:1. If the flat material 1 is to be used to stretch standard household waste bags for plastic ("yellow bag"), a projected band length L of approximately 1 m and a band width B of approximately 12 mm are suitable.

[0042] In the Figs. 1 to 4The flat material 1 is shown in a non-use position, in which it is not needed to clamp the opening edge of a flexible container and can be stored. From this non-use position, it can be elastically bent into an insertion position, which is shown in Fig. 9 As shown. In the insertion position, the flat material 1 forms a loop in the example shown, the dimensions of which within the plane of the loop allow the flat material 1 to be inserted into the opening of a flexible container that is to be clamped in a dimensionally stable manner.

[0043] The handling elements, in the form of the end sections 8 and 9 bent out from the plane of the strip, play an important role in connection with the insertion position. They enable the flat material 1, which is in the insertion position, to engage positively with a [missing element] during insertion into the opening of the flexible container. Fig. 9The hand H shown can be held by a user of the flat material 1. As shown in Fig. 9 As shown, it is possible to hold the flat material 1 in the insertion position, in which it is bent into a loop, using only the thumb and index finger and the end sections 8, 9. Due to its elasticity, the flat material 1 in the insertion position tends to conform to the pressure exerted in the Figs. 1 to 4 to assume the indicated non-use position. It is thus pre-tensioned into the non-use position.

[0044] In the Fig. 9 In the shown insertion position, the flat material 1 can be inserted into an opening 5 of a flexible container 6 and released (see figure). Fig 11 The user's hand not required to hold the flat material 1 can keep the opening edge 4 of the opening 5 open as best as possible. After hand H has released the flat material 1, it tends, due to its preload, to return to its position in the Figs. 1 to 4to assume the non-use position shown. Since the flat material 1 is located in the opening 5 of the container 6, this is not possible. Rather, the flat material 1 is prevented from assuming the non-use position by the edge of the opening 4. Instead, it assumes a position that is folded into the Figs. 5 to 8 and especially in Fig. 11The device assumes the shown operating position, in which it rigidly clamps the opening edge 4 of the opening 5 of the container 6. If necessary, the container 6 can then be inserted through the clamped opening 5 to ensure that the flat material 1 is enveloped by the material of the container 6 located in the area of ​​the opening edge 4, thereby further securing the container 6 to the flat material 1. The opening edge 4 has a width corresponding to the strip width B. Due to its elasticity, the flat material 1 is still pre-tensioned in its operating position, but no longer with as strong a restoring force as in the insertion position according to the diagram. Fig. 9 .

[0045] As in the Fig. 5, 6 and 11As can be seen, the flat material 1 assumes approximately a U-shape in its usable position. In this U-shape, the end sections 8 and 9 are spaced apart, so that there is no longer a closed loop as in Fig. 9 is formed. As in Fig. 11 As shown, a section 7 of the opening edge 4 of the opening 5 lies along this distance, which is held in its non-use position in a substantially straight line due to the restoring force of the flat material 1. In its use state, the flat material 1 therefore clamps the opening edge 4 with a straight circumferential section, the length of which is composed of the length of the end section 8, the length of the distance between the end sections 8 and 9, and the length of the end section 9.

[0046] Fig. 10 shows the enlarged detail D from Fig. 3 In the example shown, the area in the Fig. 3 and 10The left side 12 of the ribbon-shaped flat material 1 has an anti-slip coating 13, which can be, for example, a silicone or rubber coating. In its operating position, side 12 of the flat material 1 comes into contact with the opening edge 4, thereby increasing the static friction between side 12 and the opening edge 4. This, in addition to the effect of the pre-tension of the flat material 1 and, if applicable, the wrapping of the flat material 1, makes it more difficult for the opening edge 4 of the container 6 to slip off the flat material 1. Alternatively or additionally, the anti-slip surface can be formed by mechanical projections that protrude from side 12. Furthermore, it is conceivable to also provide the side 10 of the flat material 1 opposite side 12 with an anti-slip surface of the aforementioned type.This further increases the static friction between the opening edge 4 and the flat material 1 if the opening edge 4 is folded into the opening 5 around the flat material 1 onto the side 10 in the sense of the aforementioned wrapping.

[0047] In Fig. 12 A first embodiment of the holding device 20 according to the invention is shown. With the exception of a locking mechanism 23, it is formed in one piece as an injection-molded part made of plastic, as a 3D-printed part made of suitable 3D printing material, or as an aluminum die-cast part. In the embodiment shown, the holding device 20 has an elongated base body 11 which is ribbed on its upper surface. The injection-molded or 3D-printed base body 11 is ribbed on its rear side ( Fig. 12 open design (see right rear) (cf. Fig. 19 , 22 , 25 and 28 ).

[0048] In Fig. 13It can be seen how the container 6, whose opening edge 4 is stretched by the strip-like flat material 1, is held in or on the holding device 20. A curved section A of the flat material 1 and a correspondingly curved opening edge region RB of the opening edge 4 of the container 6 are in a state received in the holding device 20. The section A and the opening edge region RB are also in Fig, 11 marked.

[0049] In the Fig. 14 , 15 and 16Details of the holding device 20 are more clearly visible. Section A of the flat material 1 and the opening edge area RB of the opening edge 4 can be held in or on the holding device 20 in a theft-resistant manner. This offers the advantage that the holding device 20 can be installed in public spaces. The container 6, held by the holding device 20 with its opening edge 4 extended, cannot then be easily removed and stolen by passersby.

[0050] In Fig. 14Two through-holes 31 are visible, which, according to the present invention, serve as fastening devices for attaching the holding device 20 to a substrate (not shown). For this purpose, they can be penetrated by fastening screws (not shown) that can be screwed into the substrate. The substrate can be, for example, a wall, a fence, a post, a lamppost, or the like.

[0051] In the Fig. 15 and 16 Two curved support surfaces 21 can be seen in the top view, onto which the in Fig. 13 The lower edge of section A of the flat material 1 can be placed on the surface. Between this lower edge and the respective support surface 21, there is still material from the opening edge 4 of the container 6, which is stretched across the flat material 1. Section A of the flat material 1 is located in the Fig. 13The shown state is upright on the two support surfaces 21. The support surfaces 21 essentially bear the entire weight of the container 6 including the flat material 1 and any contents in the container 6, for example waste.

[0052] In the illustrated embodiment, the two support surfaces 21 lie in the same plane, thus forming a support plane for the resting of section A of the flat material 1. The holding device 20 is preferably mounted on the substrate such that the support plane is essentially a horizontal plane.

[0053] In the Fig. 14 , 15 and 16Furthermore, a locking device 23 can be seen. In the illustrated embodiment, the locking device 23 comprises a square 14 which is in a rotationally fixed connection with a bolt 24 designed here as a rotary bolt. By rotating the square 14, the bolt 24 can be moved about a rotational axis 15 between a Fig. 14 release position to be seen and one in the Fig. 15 and 16 The locking position shown is rotatable. The bolt 24 is in its release position as shown. Fig. 14 , section A and the opening edge area RB can be adjusted accordingly Fig. 13 are inserted into the holding device 20 in such a way that the Fig. 13 Section A of the flat material 1, as shown, stands upright on the support surfaces 21. Between its lower edge and the support surfaces 21 is material from the opening edge 4 of the container 6.

[0054] In the illustrated embodiment, the axis of rotation 15 of the bolt 24 simultaneously forms the longitudinal axis of the square 14. The bolt mechanism 23 features a mechanical self-locking function such that the square 14, and therefore the bolt 24, cannot be turned by ordinary hand forces. A separate square key, which fits snugly onto the square 14, is absolutely necessary for this purpose. Therefore, it is impossible for passersby without a suitable square key to move the bolt 24. The self-locking bolt mechanism 23 thus prevents the container 6, along with the flat material 1, from being released from the holding device 20 by simple hand movements.

[0055] The bolt 24 is preferably an elongated piece of sheet metal which has a free end 27 at its end facing away from the axis of rotation 15, which is Fig. 14as can be seen. In the illustrated embodiment, the bolt 24 is removed from its position in Fig. 14 The release position shown rotates clockwise around the axis of rotation 15 into its position. Fig. 15 and 16 As the locking position shown is rotated, its free end 27 approaches the support plane spanned by the bearing surfaces 21 from above until the latter is finally penetrated by the free end 27. In the locking position of the bolt 24, the free end 27 thus lies below the support plane. As shown in the Fig. 15 and 16 As can be seen, for this purpose a recess 16 is provided in the area between the two support surfaces 21, which is formed below the support plane and in which the free end 27 of the bar 24 can lie.

[0056] By having the free end 27 of the bolt 24 in its locking position below the support surface, attempts by unlawful persons to forcibly deform section A of the flat material 1 together with the opening wheel area RB and to force it through a (here non-existent) gap between the free end 27 of the bolt 24 and the support surface are prevented.

[0057] In the illustrated embodiment, the bar 24 is bent at its free end 27 such that the free end 27 approximately follows the curvature of section A of the flat material 1 and the opening edge region RB. This is shown in the Fig. 14 , 15 and 16 Clearly visible. The chamfer has the advantage of facilitating the insertion of section A and the opening edge area RB into the holding device 20, especially when, as here, the distance of a region of the free end 27 from the support plane in the Fig. 14The release position of the bar 24 shown is smaller than the width B of the flat material 1.

[0058] In the Fig. 14 and 16 A linear projection can be seen which, according to the present invention, serves as a retaining element for holding section A and the opening edge region RB in the holding device 20 from the rear. In the illustrated embodiment, the retaining element 22 is located, in the direction of view towards the front of the holding device 20, flush behind the latch 24 in its locked position.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the distance between the retaining element 22 and the back of the bolt 24 in the locked position is designed to be slightly less than the thickness of the strip-like flat material 1 and the adjacent material of the opening edge region RB of the opening edge 4, so that section A, including the opening edge region RB, can be clamped in the space between the retaining element 22 and the back of the bolt 24. This advantageously prevents rotation of the flat material 1, including the opening edge 4, within the plane of the opening 5 of the container 6. Alternatively, however, it is conceivable to hold section A, including the opening edge region RB, with some play and thus loosely between the retaining element 22 and the back of the bolt 24.

[0060] The illustrated embodiment of the holding device 20 further comprises two lifting stop devices 25, 26, which are designed to prevent a section A of the flat material 1, including the opening edge region RB, inserted into the holding device 20 from being lifted out of the holding device 20 in a direction away from the support plane. As shown in the Fig. 14 , 15 and 16 As can be seen in the front view of the holding device 20, the lifting stop device 25 is located to the left of and the lifting stop device 26 to the right of the locking device 23. The lifting stop devices 25, 26 are each designed as a material projection of the base body 11 and have stop surfaces 17, 18 against which areas of the Fig. 11 and 13The upper edge of section A of the flat material 1 and the opening edge area RB will strike when section A together with opening edge area RB is lifted in the direction away from the support plane.

[0061] Is container 6 as described in Fig. 13 As shown, held by the holding device 20, a tilting moment naturally acts on section A of the flat material 1, which tends to move the in Fig. 13 to tilt the upper edge of section A forwards, so that the container 6, together with the flat material 1, would fall out of the holding device 20 due to gravity. However, the aforementioned tilting is prevented by the locking position according to the Fig. 15 and 16 The existing bar 24 prevents this.

[0062] For further tilt stabilization of the container 6 and the flat material 1, the illustrated embodiment includes two tilt stabilization devices 29, 30, which, in addition to the bar 24, stabilize section A of the flat material 1 against tilting due to gravity. As can be seen from the Fig. 14 , 15 and 16As a result, the tilt stabilization devices 29, 30 are located in the front view of the holding device 20 essentially in the same positions as the lifting stop devices 25, 26. The tilt stabilization device 29 is located to the left of and the tilt stabilization device 30 is located to the right of the locking device 23. The tilt stabilization devices 29, 30 are designed as material walls of the base body 11, which extend below the stop surfaces 17, 18 of the lifting stop devices 25, 26 in the direction of the support plane formed by the bearing surfaces 21. In the front view, an undercut is created behind these material walls, into which areas of the Fig. 13The tilt stabilization devices 29, 30 have curved contact surfaces 32, 33 against which areas of section A of the flat material 1 and the opening edge region RB can come into contact due to the effect of the gravity-induced tilting moment on the container 6.

[0063] In contrast to the illustrated embodiment, the lifting stop devices 25, 26 on the one hand and the tilting stabilization devices 29, 30 on the other hand, viewed from the front of the holding device 20, can of course also be designed or arranged at different locations on the holding device 20.

[0064] The Figs. 17 to 22 Show front views, rear views and sectional views of the first embodiment of the holding device 20 according to the invention, wherein the bolt 24 is in the Figs. 17 to 19in its locking position and in the Figs. 20 to 22 can be seen in its release position.

[0065] In Fig. 18 It is clearly visible that the free end 27 of the bolt 24, in its locked position, lies below the bearing plane formed by the bearing surfaces 21. Fig. 19 A bolt stop device 28 can be seen, which is formed by a wall section of the base body 11 of the holding device 20. The bolt stop device 28 has a stop surface 19 against which the bolt 24 abuts in its release position, as best shown in Fig. 22 The geometric position of the stop surface 19 thus determines the maximum distance the free end 27 of the bolt 24 has from the support plane in the release position of the bolt 24.

[0066] The Figs. 23 to 28 According to their description, they correspond to the Figs. 17 to 22 , however, in addition the in Fig. 13The visible section of the flat material 1 was drawn in order to illustrate how the flat material 1 is held in the holding device 20. The container 6 and its opening rim 4 were shown in the Figs. 23 to 28 Omitted for the sake of graphic simplification.

[0067] It can be seen that only a relatively small subsection of TA (cf. Fig. 11 ) of the in Fig. 13 Section A of the flat material 1 visible in the direction of view of the Fig. 23 behind bar 24. The same naturally applies to a relatively small sub-area of ​​TRB (see below). Fig. 11 ) of the opening edge area RB of the opening edge 4 of the container 6. The sub-area TRB lies against the sub-section TA of section A of the flat material 1 when the opening edge 4 is open. The lengths of sub-section TA and sub-area TRB measured in the circumferential direction of the opening edge 4 correspond to the in Fig. 23 The width of the bar is clearly visible at 24.

[0068] In the rear view according to Fig. 28 It is clearly visible that even in its release position, in which it rests against the stop surface 19 of the bolt stop device 28, the bolt 24 still prevents the flat material 1 from tipping out of the holding device 20 due to gravity. For this purpose, a portion of the bolt 24 overlaps in the direction of view of the Fig. 28 with the ribbon-like flat material 1. In the front view according to Fig. 26 This overlapping section of the bolt 24 is essentially concealed by a wall of the base body 11 that supports the bolt assembly 23. Only one corner of the free end 27 of the bolt 24 is visible. Fig. 26 still visible.

[0069] The Figs. 29, 30 and 31 show side views of the in Fig. 14 The holding device shown is 20 from the right. In these figures, the... Fig. 13The visible section of flat material 1 is shown in various states during the insertion of section A and the opening edge region RB (not shown here), which abuts section A. At least in the Figs. 29 and 30 The locking bar 24 is in its release position, which is located in the Fig. 14 , 20 until 22 and 26 to 28 can be seen.

[0070] As in Fig. 29 As can be seen, the opening plane of the opening 5 of the container 6, which is spanned by the bent or curved flat material 1, is first determined (cf. Fig. 11 ) inclined upwards (here clockwise by approximately 45° from the horizontal). Then, section A of the flat material 1 is inserted into the holding device 20 according to arrow P.

[0071] In Fig. 30Figure 1 shows an intermediate state of the flat material 1 during the insertion of its section A into the holding device 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the insertion of section A of the flat material 1 is carried out such that the flat material 1 is positioned as shown in the figures. Figs. 26 to 28 This means that section A rests vertically on the support surfaces 21 with its lower edge.

[0072] In the area of ​​the recess 16 for receiving the free end 27 of the bolt 24 in its locked position, section A does not rest on any support surface in the illustrated embodiment. Alternatively, it would be conceivable to support section A with a support surface in this area as well, so that the support plane would not be penetrated by the bolt 24.

[0073] A comparatively small sub-area of ​​section A of the flat material 1 is located in Fig. 26in their line of sight, i.e. in the line of sight of the Fig. 30 from left to right, in a curved plane that runs behind the locking bar 24 in its release position. In addition, further sections of section A of the flat material 1 engage in the undercuts, which extend in the direction of view of the Fig. 26 are located behind the tilt stabilization devices 29, 30.

[0074] As soon as the curved flat material 1, or the plane it spans of the opening 5 of the container 6, has been brought back into a horizontal position, the in Fig. 31 The state shown is reached, which corresponds to the one described in the Figs. 26 to 28 The depicted state of the flat material 1 corresponds to this. Finally, using a square key, the square 14 and thus the bolt 24 can now be moved from its release position according to the Figs. 26 to 28 about the axis of rotation 15 into its bending position according to the Figs. 23 to 25 be turned (in Fig. 31 (not recognizable).

[0075] In the state according to the Figs. 23 to 25 The flat material 1, together with the flexible container 6, is held in the holding device 20 in a theft-resistant, form-fitting manner. The curved, but relatively short subsection TA of section A of the flat material 1 and the adjacent subsection TRB of the opening edge area RB of the opening edge 4 (see Fig. 11 In this state, the free end 27 of the bolt 24 lies in a curved plane or in a space between the bolt 24 and the retaining element 22. Since the free end 27 of the bolt 24 is located below the support plane formed by the bearing surfaces 21 in its locking position, it is reliably prevented that the flat material 1 together with the container 6 can be forcibly forced out of the holding device 20.

[0076] The Figs. 32 to 34Figure 1 shows a second embodiment in the form of a holding device 40 according to the invention. Insofar as the holding device 40 has the same functions and features as the holding device 20 according to the first embodiment, the following are described in the Figs. 32 to 34 the same reference symbols are used as in the Figs. 12 to 31 Regarding the first embodiment, a repetition of the description of the relevant features and functions is omitted. It is merely explained how the holding device 40 differs from the holding device 20.

[0077] The holding device 40 according to the invention differs from the holding device 20, among other things, in that it has a bolt 34 designed as a linear bolt. The bolt 34 is located between its Fig. 32 shown locking position and its in Fig. 34 The release position shown is movable linearly or in a straight line. Fig. 33The bolt 34 is shown in an intermediate position between the locking position and the release position.

[0078] The bolt 34 is part of a locking device 35, preferably made of metal, which is separately installed in the base body 11. The locking device 35 comprises at least one spring element (not shown) which engages the bolt 34 in the Fig. 32 The locking position shown is pre-tensioned. This pre-tension is preferably so great that it cannot be overcome by hand without tools.

[0079] In the second embodiment, the bolt 34 has a ramp surface 36, which in the illustrated embodiment is curved. Alternatively, a flat ramp surface lying in a non-curved plane is conceivable. The ramp surface 36 serves to push the bolt 34 upwards out of its locking position against the preload by means of the flat material 1, which is to be inserted into the holding device 40.

[0080] To introduce the in Fig. 13 Section A of the flat material 1 shown, together with the opening edge region RB of the opening edge 4, can be inserted into the holding device 40, similar to the procedure described in [reference to relevant document]. Fig. 29 As shown, the bolt 34 is brought forward from the front. By forcefully pressing the upper edge of the subsection TA of section A of the flat material 1 against the ramp surface 36, the bolt 34 can finally be moved upwards against the preload directed towards the locking position in the direction of its Fig. 34 The release position shown is pressed. The aforementioned upper edge of the subsection TA slides along the curved ramp surface 36 until, in the direction of a front view of the holding device 40, it enters a curved plane or a gap between the bolt 34 and the holding element 22. At this moment, the bolt 34 springs back into its locking position due to its preload. Fig. 32 .

[0081] The subsection TA of the flat material 1 and the subsection TRB of the opening edge 4 (see Fig. 11The flat material 1 and its container 6 are then positively locked between the bolt 34 and the retaining element 22, so that they can no longer be removed from the holding device 40 without exerting a relatively large force capable of moving the bolt from its locked position towards its release position. The aid used here, in the form of the flat material 1, which was used to push the bolt 34 out of its locked position when inserting the flat material 1 into the holding device 40, is no longer available as an aid when the flat material 1 is trapped between the bolt 34 and the retaining element 22.The preload of the spring element in the locking device 35 of the holding device 40 is designed in such a way that, on the one hand, a sufficient anti-theft effect and, on the other hand, sufficient comfort are ensured when inserting the flat material 1 into the holding device 40 as described above.

[0082] To release the flat material 1 and the container 6 from the holding device 40 as intended, the locking mechanism 35 has a square hole 37 into which a suitable square key can be inserted. By turning the square key, the locking bolt 34 can be released from its locked position according to Fig. 32 in its release position according to Fig. 34 The flat material 1 is then no longer trapped between the bar 34 and the holding element 22 and can be removed by hand from the holding device 40.

[0083] In Fig. 32It is clearly evident that, unlike the holding device 20 according to the first embodiment, the holding device 40 has only a single, continuous support surface 21, which forms the support plane within the meaning of the present invention. The bolt 34 does not penetrate the support plane, particularly in its locking position.

[0084] The best place is in Fig. 34It can be seen that the retaining element 22, which projects upwards from the support plane, has a retaining surface which is relatively wide compared to the relatively narrow, linear retaining element 22 of the holding device 20 according to the first embodiment. Furthermore, it is conceivable in both the first and second embodiments that the retaining element projecting upwards from the support plane is formed by a curved wall section of the base body 11, which is exactly as long as section A of the flat material 1. In this case, section A of the flat material 1 rests against a correspondingly long retaining surface along its entire length, measured in the circumferential direction of the opening edge 4.

[0085] In the Figs. 35 to 37A third embodiment is shown in the form of the holding device 50. Insofar as the holding device 50 has the same functions and features as the holding device 20 according to the first embodiment, the following are described in the Figs. 35 to 37 the same reference symbols are used as in the Figs. 12 to 31 Regarding the first embodiment, a repetition of the description of the relevant features and functions is omitted. It is merely explained how the holding device 50 differs from the holding device 20.

[0086] In Fig. 35Two recesses 44, 45 are visible, provided in the opposing end faces of the elongated base body 11 of the holding device 50. The recesses 44, 45 form lid pin receptacles according to the present invention and can receive finger-like lid pins 46, 47 of a lid 42, which here have a rectangular cross-section and thus a flattened geometry. According to the present invention, the two lid pin receptacles in the form of the recesses 44, 45 constitute a lid connection device 41 for attaching the lid 42. The lid 42 has a central hole 51 through which, for example, waste can be thrown into the container 6.

[0087] How best to Fig. 37As can be seen, each of the recesses 44, 45 in the illustrated embodiment has approximately an inverted L-shape. This L-shape forms a first step 48 and a second step 49, on which the respective cover pin 46 or 47 can alternatively rest.

[0088] In Fig. 35 The figure shows how the lid pin 46 or 47 rests on the first shoulder 48. The lid 42 is in its closed position, in which it closes the opening 5 of the container 6 except for the hole 51. Fig. 36 and 37 The illustration shows how the lid pin 46 or 47 rests on the second shoulder 49. The lid 42 is in its open position, in which it completely exposes the opening 5 of the container 6.

[0089] On the upper side of the holding device 50 is a lid stop device 43 projecting from the upper side, which consists of walls of the base body 11, as shown in the Figs. 35 to 37 is recognizable. In the Fig. 36 and 37 In the open position of the lid 42, a small part of the lid 42 abuts the lid stop device 43, so that the lid 42 does not move from its open position towards its closed position according to Fig. 35 can move.

[0090] To move the lid 42 from its open position according to Fig. 36 and 37 in its closed position according to Fig. 35 To move it, it will start from the point in the Fig. 36 and 37The lid pin 46 or 47, in the position shown, rests on the second shoulder 49 and is initially lifted. This causes the lid pin 46 or 47 to move upwards in the recess 44 or 45, i.e., along the long leg of the inverted L, until it reaches the height of the first shoulder 48, i.e., the short leg of the inverted L. The lid 42 can then be opened. Fig. 37 It is pivoted approximately 90° counterclockwise around its cover pins 46 and 47, thereby moving it into its closed position according to Fig. 35 reached.

[0091] The vertical distance between the first paragraph 48 and the second paragraph 49, on the one hand, and the stop height by which the lid stop device 43 projects from the top of the holding device 50, on the other hand, are dimensioned such that the lid 42 is held in the open position by the lid stop device 43 when the lid pin 46 or 47 rests on the second paragraph 49, i.e., is located at the lower end of the long leg of the inverted L, and that the lid 42 bridges the lid stop device 43, i.e., can be pivoted freely towards the closed position, when the lid pin 46 or 47 is at the height of the first paragraph 48, i.e., at the height of the short leg of the inverted L.
