Description

Title of the invention: ANTI-TIPPING TRASH BLOCK The observation

[0001] Finding your trash can knocked over by an animal (wild boar or other), or the wind is a recurring problem encountered by many of our fellow citizens.

[0002] Besides the fact that garbage collectors cannot pick up an overturned trash can, its owner must clean up any rubbish scattered on the road. The solution

[0003] In order to remedy this problem, I came up with a product that allows us to lock our bins with an easy, keyless locking system that can be used in both directions (closing and opening). Design of the garbage block Materials needed.

[0004] A black metal plate 35cmX16 cm, 2 mm thick. Production of the support.

[0005] Fold the metal plate in two places. Round off the corners.

[0006] Drilling of 4 holes diameter 6mm (for fixing the support). Drilling of 2 holes diameter 8.5 mm.

[0007] Drilling of 2 holes diameter 10 mm. (to insert the hook).

[0008] 2 metal plates measuring 12 cm x 3 cm and 2 mm thick (if using a wire mesh support).

[0009] Drilling of 2 holes of diameter 6 mm on these plates. I Making the hook

[0010] Materials needed. A solid black metal rod, 8mm diameter, 80cm long. A 10.5cm PVC sheath with a diameter of 8.2mm to cover the upper part of the hook which will serve as a handle, bend the rod at 90° at 25.5cm so as to have a height of 9cm, bend it again perpendicularly so as to make a handle of 11cm. Insert the 10.5cm PVC sheath and repeat the operation in reverse.

[0011] Creation of the link between the support and the hook.

[0012] Materials needed

[0013] A plastic-coated steel cable 1mm in diameter and 50cm long. Two aluminum sleeves 2mm in diameter.

[0014] Make a loop on each end using the two small aluminum sleeves provided and crimp (crush) using pliers. Project operating mode

[0015] Fixing the trash unit support.

[0016] On a wooden support: Screw in 4 screws (see diagram 2).

[0017] On a concrete or stone support: Drill 4 holes with a diameter of 8 mm, insert 4 dowels with a diameter of 8 mm into the holes. Secure the support with screws.

[0018] On a fence: Insert the two metal plates provided (see diagram 2) between the support and the fence and attach to the fence using 4 bolts (screws and nuts) and 8 washers.

[0019] Installation of the trash unit.

[0020] Attach the plastic-coated cable to the support, in the hole at the top right reserved for this purpose, and the other end to the top right of the hook. Make a loop on each end using the two small aluminum sleeves provided and crimp (crush) using pliers.

[0021] Direction of installation.

[0022] Place the support by positioning the cable attached to the hook at the top right.

[0023] Screw the support with the appropriate screws.
