[0005] The device according to the invention attempts to overcome these drawbacks while proposing a product with simple and inexpensive implementation.

[0006] The device according to the invention is a shelter bin used in the field of waste, shelter bin composed of a parallelepiped structure called here box in the lower part and a rectangular roof in the upper part, box C provided with at least one door PI to accommodate at least one 660 liter bin, a bottom wall and two sides, shelter bin which has a sloping roof, shelter bin provided with a TV hatch of the garbage chute type comprising a frame, a drawer articulated around an axis of rotation, drawer provided with an angular sliding ramp RG capable of allowing the bags of waste, deposited by the users, to fall into the at least one bin, TV hatch possibly comprising an electromechanical access control mechanism, shelter bin characterized in that the drawer of the waste deposit hatch of the TV garbage chute type consists of a door P comprising a gripping means,of a sliding ramp RG of which a part RG2 is retractable by a retraction means provided when the door P is closed, in order to minimize, or even eliminate the penetration of the free end of said ramp into the bin of at least 660 liters, provided when the door is open to close the bottom of the drawer at the level of the sliding ramp, in that the roof of the shelter is pivotable on a horizontal axis by a pivoting means in order to be able to enter or exit the 660 liter bin without the highest part of it coming into contact with any part of the roof, so that the maximum height for gripping, operating the hatch and depositing waste is always located less than 1300mm from the ground, standard in force for people with reduced mobility.

[0007] Device characterized in that the means for pivoting the roof is composed of at least two locks VI,V2 each comprising a horizontal cylindrical trunnion T1,T2, trunnions which each cooperate with a cylindrical orifice 01,02 machined in the upper part of the box C or of a part provided for this purpose fixed on the box C, each cylindrical orifice arranged close to one of the two ends of the width of the box, in a plane opposite the vertical plane of the at least one door, beyond this, coupling of the trunnions of the two locks with the cylindrical orifices opposite which allow the roof to be held on the rotation axis side and the roof to be raised on the side opposite the articulation axis close to the plane of the at least one door, thus increasing the height available for removing or replacing the bin in the shelter.

[0008] Device characterized in that the means for pivoting the roof comprises two pairs of locks VI, V2 and V3, V4 which each cooperate with a pair of cylindrical orifices 01, 02 and 03, 04, each pair of locks whose pins are arranged with their respective cylindrical orifice on two horizontal articulation axes, one articulation axis being parallel and close to the vertical plane of the at least one door, the other articulation axis being parallel and opposite the vertical plane of the at least one door, close to the bottom wall of the box.

[0009] Device characterized in that the means for retracting the sliding ramp RG consists of a plate PP1 bordered by two vertical sides CGI, CG2 perpendicular to the axis AX3 of rotation of the drawer of the hatch, plate PP1 terminated on one side by a door P which is the access door to the waste deposit hatch, plate and vertical sides directly opposite a profile comprising a parallel flat part PP2, substantially of the same width as the plate, parallel flat part provided with means for maintaining its position in translation perpendicular to the axis of rotation, parallel part arranged under the plate PP1 directly opposite, parallel flat part continued at least on one side by a parallel flank CG3 and directly opposite one of the two vertical sides CGI, CG2,side CG3 provided with a protrusion EA which cooperates with an angular light LA ​​made in a part of the frame of the trapdoor parallel and opposite the side CG3 in such a way that the angular rotation of the drawer of the trapdoor around its axis AX3 simultaneously generates: , • An identical angular rotation of the sliding plate, • A translation of the RG2 profile linked to the direction of angular rotation by support of the EA protrusion on one of the two edges of the LA angular lumen

[0010] Such an angular rotation conditions on the one hand when the door is completely open a translation of the profile which moves away from the axis of rotation, so that the flat part parallel to the plate almost completely closes the bottom of the drawer thus preventing an attempt at removal without passing through the sliding ramp, and on the other hand when the door is completely closed a translation of the profile RG2 in the direction of the axis of rotation AX3, which reduces the projection of the sliding plate in the bin, thus making it possible to reduce the total height of the shelter bin accordingly, in order to be able to lower the maximum removal height authorized for people with reduced mobility below 1300 mm.

[0011] Device characterized in that the means for holding the profile forming the second part of the sliding ramp on the first part of the latter consists of a longitudinal guide perpendicular to the articulation axis of the hatch, parallel and directly opposite the first part of the sliding ramp.

[0012] Device characterized in that the means for gripping the door is constituted by a handle comprising a first part projecting from the door and fixed relative to the latter, substantially at right angles to the plane of the door, the end of the projecting part opposite its connection with the door forming an articulated connection with a longitudinal segment whose end opposite the articulated connection is directed towards the bottom of the shelter by gravitation, thus offering the possibility of opening and closing the door allowing the deposit of waste at least at two possible heights.

[0013] Device characterized in that the first projecting part of the handle PG is U-shaped, the free end of the two branches Ul, U2 of the U are fixed to the door P, substantially perpendicular to it, the base of the U U3 is parallel to the plane of the door P and has two cylindrical parts UC1, UC2 of the same axis also parallel to the plane of the door P, cylindrical parts which are each articulated with the free end of a branch UP1, UP2 of a U whose base UP3 is directed towards the bottom of the shelter by gravity, base of the U UP3 forming a gripping handle which thus offers the possibility of opening and closing the deposit hatch at a height of less than 1300 mm.

[0014] Other aims and advantages of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and which refers to the appended drawings, given solely by way of example, and in which: - [Fig. 1] is a perspective view showing the TV waste disposal drawer - [Fig.2] is a perspective showing the TV waste disposal drawer - [Fig.3] is a perspective view showing the EA outgrowth in the lumen THERE - [Fig.4] is a perspective showing the shelter without the roof T - [Fig.5] is a perspective showing door P and handle PG - [Fig.6] is a perspective showing the four locks in the roof T - [Fig.7] is a perspective view showing a detail of the locks - [Fig.8] is a perspective view showing a detail of the locks - [Fig.9] is a perspective view showing a lock closed in the housing provided in the opposite bracket. - [Fig. 10] is a perspective view showing an open lock with the housing provided in the opposite bracket - [Fig. 11] is a perspective of the shelter with the roof raised on the side of doors PI and P2 with springs RI and R2

[0015] According to a preferred embodiment, the device according to the invention is a shelter bin designed to contain a B bin of at least 660 liters, standardized capacity, while respecting the PMR (Person with Reduced Mobility) standards for depositing waste in a shelter bin which specify that the maximum height for depositing waste is 1300mm.

[0016] Our shelter consists of a rectangular box in the lower part equipped with two doors, two sides and a back wall in order to accommodate a bin of at least 660 liters.

[0017] In the upper part, a roof most often made of lacquered steel sheet is equipped with a garbage chute type hatch.

[0018] This hatch allows the disposal of waste most often contained in plastic bags.

[0019] This hatch is either directly accessible or arranged to be provided with access control.

[0020] The difficulty lies in producing a shelter A for a bin of at least 660 litres, or even 770 litres, whose height characteristics are compatible with the standard in force which provides for a maximum height of 1300 mm for operating the opening and closing of the hatch and depositing waste.

[0021] The box C is made up of four vertical uprights which are connected in the lower part to horizontal crosspieces, by four support brackets, forming the lower horizontal frame placed on the ground and in the upper part to horizontal crosspieces, also by four support brackets E1, E2, E3, E4, forming the upper horizontal frame CH.

[0022] The four retaining brackets in the upper part each have a projecting part of the upper horizontal frame comprising a cylindrical orifice 01, 02, 03, 04.

[0023] The cylindrical orifices 01, 02, 03, 04 are articulated two by two 01, 02, and 03, 04 on a horizontal axis parallel to the vertical plane of the doors PI, P2, for access to the tank in the position of the doors PI, P2, closed and arranged above the upper horizontal frame.

[0024] One of the two axes, AX1, is located directly opposite the vertical plane formed by the two doors PI, P2, providing access to the bin and beyond these outside the box C of the shelter A.

[0025] The other axis, AX2, is located on the opposite side of the doors PI, P2, opposite the back wall PA and beyond it outside the box C of the shelter.

[0026] The top of the box C is closed by the roof T which has, directly opposite each orifice, 01, 02, 03, 04 a lock VI, V2, V3, V4 identical and fixed to the roof.

[0027] Each lock, VI, V2, V3, V4, consists of an angular plate PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4 which allows the fixing of each lock on the roof respectively opposite the cylindrical orifices 01, 02, 03, 04.

[0028] Each plate PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4 is crossed by a cylindrical journal T1, T2, T3, T4, which cooperates respectively with the cylindrical orifices 01, 02, 03, 04.

[0029] Each plate PV1, PV2, PV3, PV4 has a lever L1, L2, L3, L4 each associated respectively with the pins T1, T2, T3, T4.

[0030] The manual operation of each lever L1, L2, L3, L4 allows a translation of each associated journal T1, T2, T3 or T4.

[0031] The unlocking of two pins which cooperate with two associated orifices is necessary and sufficient to generate an articulation on the two other orifices associated with the two other pins.

[0032] This unlocking allows the roof T to be raised either on the axis AX1 or on the axis AX2 depending on the unlocked locks, these are most often the locks which are opposite the access doors to the bin in order to allow the collection of waste by a collector.

[0033] A complete release of the four locks allows manual rotation of the roof T by simple lifting and pivoting.

[0034] The unlocking of two pins allows the roof to be lifted manually, manual lifting which is made easier by the action of a compression spring RI, R2, arranged on each side of the box substantially at the center of gravity of the roof T.

[0035] The waste disposal hatch consists of a casing which ends towards the front with a door P which, when open, allows access to the housing in which waste is to be deposited.

[0036] This housing is called here TV drawer of the garbage chute type.

[0037] This TV drawer is articulated around an axis of rotation AX3, horizontal and parallel to the plane of the doors PI, P2 in the closed doors position.

[0038] This drawer includes a door continued on the inside of the hatch by a sliding ramp RG which, as its name indicates, allows a bag of waste to slide when the door is closed, a bag of waste which then falls by gravity into the bin provided for this purpose.

[0039] The sliding ramp RG is composed of a first sliding ramp RG1 and a second sliding ramp RG2 parallel to and in the extension of RG1.

[0040] The first sliding ramp RG1 is composed of a first flat part PP1 fixed angularly relative to the door P and directed towards the bottom of the shelter A.

[0041] Flat part PP1 bordered on each side by a return perpendicular to the plane of the door, CGI, CG2.

[0042] The second sliding ramp RG2 comprises a flat part PP2 bordered on each side by a return perpendicular to the plane of the door, CG3, CG4.

[0043] This ramp RG2 is arranged directly opposite the ramp RG1, parallel to it and provided with means for maintaining its position in translation relative to the ramp RG1.

[0044] At least one part EA is fixed protruding on at least one side CG3.

[0045] A vertical wall PL fixed relative to the hatch casing and directly opposite the side is machined with an angular light LA ​​capable of guiding the part EA whose two surfaces opposite each other SOI, SO2 cooperate respectively with the two slices TL1, TL2 of the angular light LA.

[0046] During the manual opening stroke of the door P, the contact of at least one surface SOI or SO2 with one of the two slices TL1 or TL2 of the angular lumen LA causes the second ramp RG2 to slide in such a way that it slides parallel to RG1, in the opposite direction to the axis AX3, in order to offer the largest possible surface area to the ramp RG when the door is fully open, almost completely closing the bottom of the drawer TV, thus preventing any fraudulent bag depositing with the exception of the bag for which the drawer TV has been calibrated.

[0047] The opening and closing of the door P is carried out manually by gripping a handle.

[0048] For less effort, it is necessary to position the handle as far as possible from the axis AX3 of rotation of the door P, namely at the very top of the latter, out of reach for a person in a wheelchair.

[0049] To enable use by people with reduced mobility, particularly in wheelchairs, we have made the first part of the handle in the shape of a U, the end of the branches of the U, Ul, U2 of which are fixed to the door, the base of the U, U3 being arranged horizontally.

[0050] The base U3 is extended on either side of the branches Ul and U2 by a cylindrical part UC1, UC2.

[0051] The second part of the handle is also in the form of a U, the end of the two branches UP1, UP2 of which each ends in a cylindrical orifice which cooperates respectively with the cylindrical parts UC1 and UC2 to form two articulations around the same axis AX4.

[0052] The base UP3 of the second part of the handle is horizontal and its position is linked to the length of the branches UP1 and UP2, a calibrated length of these allows the door to be opened by a person in a wheelchair at a height of less than 1300mm.

[0053] The construction of our shelter thus achieved allows a height of waste deposit in the TV drawer also lower than 1300mm, which was what was needed.

[0054] We have thus described a device according to the invention.

[0055] Of course, the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and shown which has been given only as an example.

[0056] The invention includes all technical equivalents of the means described as well as their combinations, if these are executed according to its spirit and implemented within the framework of the following claims.
