Anti-tip device for 2-wheel garbage bin with magnetic anchoring

Abstract

The device presented consists of transforming any type of garbage bin (new or existing) by adding a magnetic anchoring device, thus protecting the garbage bin from tipping over and therefore from the dispersion of waste into the environment. This device allows the bins to be anchored on public property. It guarantees that they remain in an upright position, resisting bad weather (wind storms) but also attempts at tipping by animals, for example. This device connects and disconnects only by human action and manipulation. Once the collection has been carried out, the bin is stored in its private location, and only the metal plate in its casing remains on public property. The latter, very discreet and customizable as needed, represents no risk for people with reduced mobility, pedestrians or all users of public roads.This magnetic anchoring device for garbage bins is, according to the invention, intended for the comfort of city users, garbage collectors, and city sanitation and hygiene service agents, but also represents an additional shield in the preservation of the environment by preventing any pollution by the dispersion of waste.

Description

Title of the invention: Anti-tip device for 2-wheel garbage bin using magnetic anchoring

[0001] The present invention consists of the transformation of individual two-wheeled garbage bins by integrating an anti-tilt device by magnetic anchoring. During their storage [Fig.l], this device will prevent any accidental tipping [wind, storm, stray animals, etc.] and consequently the dispersion of waste into the environment.

[0002] The day before collection day, each household equipped with an individual two-wheeled bin places it on public property so that the collection agents can collect it. This immobilization of the garbage bin makes it very vulnerable to climatic hazards as well as stray animals.

[0003] The purpose of the magnetic anchoring device for the garbage bin is to neutralize any accidental tipping of the collection bin before the collection period.

[0004] This device is composed of a magnetic plate placed in a plastic casing whose particularity is to adapt by its design to the underside of the bin [Fig.2], this is bolted to the underside of the garbage bin. A metal plate placed in a plastic casing equipped with a stop facilitating the guidance of the bin towards its housing [Fig.5] the assembly is fixed to the ground by dowels adapted to the support material. This device guarantees that the collection bins are kept in a vertical position.

[0005] Once the collection is complete, the bin is placed in its private location, leaving only the metal plate remaining on public property. The latter, which is very discreet and can be personalized as needed, represents no risk for people with reduced mobility and all users of public roads.

[0006] This magnetic anchoring device for garbage bins is, according to the invention, intended for the comfort of city users, garbage collectors, and city cleaning and hygiene service agents, but also represents an additional shield in the preservation of the environment by eliminating the risk of scattering in the event of the bin being overturned.

[0029] Brief description of the drawings

[0030] Notwithstanding any other form which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0031] [Fig.l] shows a front and side view of a magnetic anchoring anti-tilt device for a garbage bin according to one embodiment;

[0032] [Fig.2] shows in section the detail of fixing the magnetic device on the underside of any type of garbage bin according to one embodiment;

[0033] [Fig.3] shows in section the detail of the fixing on the underside of the garbage bin with a flat bottom and rounded or deformed bottom;

[0034] [Fig.4] shows in section the detail of the fixing of the magnetic plate and its adaptation to any type of container;

[0035] [Fig.5] shows in section the detail of fixing the metal plate to the ground according to one embodiment;

[0036] [Fig.6] shows a top view of the method of fixing the metal plate to the ground;

[0037] [Fig.7] shows in detail the complete assembly of the device; Description of the embodiments

[0038] Anti-tilt device for garbage bins by magnetic anchoring comprises a magnetic plate 4 housed in an articulated casing 14 assembled to a ball joint 13 allowing adaptation to each bin base 19 20 even if it is deformed. The assembly is screwed onto a waste bin 5. A metal plate 2 housed in a housing casing 15 screwed with materials suitable for the floor 1.

[0039] The magnetic plate 3 is housed in an articulated housing casing 14 then combined with a ball joint 13 which, by its rounded shape and its ovoid drilling 17, allows orientation in three directions and thus adaptation to any type of garbage bin with a flat bottom 19 and a deformed bottom 20. The assembly is fixed to the garbage bin 5 by a threaded screw with a countersunk head 10 placed on the magnetic plate 3 side, a nut 9, a metal washer 8 and a sealing washer 11 on the bottom side of the inner bin 12.

[0040] The metal plate 2 is housed in a floor plate casing 15 pierced in its center 12, the assembly is fixed to the floor 1 by a countersunk head screw 7 and a dowel 6 adapted to the floor covering materials 1.

[0041] The metal plate 2 housed in its ground plate casing 15 has a thickness of five millimeters, a rounded shaped bead 16 with a height of five millimeters is superimposed to give a maximum height of ten millimeters which does not represent any danger on the public domain in particular for people with reduced mobility and pedestrians.

[0042] The bead 16 present on the floor plate casing 15 allows, when installing the waste bin 5, to guide the user towards the anchoring complex; it acts as a stop.

[0043] The magnetic anchoring device has the particularity, due to the design of the assembly parts, of adapting to any type of new and old garbage bin; it does not require the bin to be replaced.

[0044] Thus, in the manner illustrated in [Fig.l], the waste bin 5 can be magnetically anchored to the magnetic plate 3 thanks to the metal plate 2.

[0045] The metal plate 2, the magnetic plate 3 as well as all the fixing elements are resistant to corrosion.

[0046] The disconnection of the magnetic anchoring device is done by a pulling force 18.
