Description

The invention relates to a device for the collection, temporary storage of household and other waste and can be used in everyday life and in public places.

Known multi-section container for separate collection of garbage, including a housing with a bottom, a lid with loading holes and walls, while the internal volume of the housing is divided into separate sections by means of partitions, the housing is collapsible and formed of assembly elements of the bottom, cover and walls, each of which has connection means in the form of slots and protrusions, while the connected body elements are located perpendicular to each other, creating a three-dimensional structure of the container, and are fixed with latches; in addition, an internal sectional cover with a hole for securing a garbage collection bag is additionally installed in the housing (RU 195106 U1, publ. 15.01.2020).

The disadvantage of the container is the lack of the possibility of separate transfer and emptying of the container sections and the need to use waste collection bags for this. In addition, the design provides for the placement of sections only in one row.

The closest to the proposed system is a system for separate waste collection, containing several containers with handles and lids, each container has four walls, while the containers are installed in a common pallet (EP 3263488 A1, published 03.01.2018; Divisione Plast container system http: / /mkomplekt.by/catalog/14-konteinerv-dlva-musora-gigienicheskie-pokrvtiva/142-sistema-konteinerov-dlva-musora-v-vvdvizhnoi-yacshik/sistema-konteinerov-divisione-plast-v- .html). This system is taken as a prototype.

The disadvantage of this system is that the containers are combined into a single system using a pallet that defines the size and shape of the container system.

The technical problem solved by the invention is to provide such a system of containers, which can include any number of containers and which can be given a different configuration depending on the location of its installation, while providing releasable fixation of the containers relative to each other.

The technical problem is solved by a system of containers for the separate collection of waste, containing containers, each of which has a front, back and side walls, a bottom, a handle connected to the side walls and a lid, in which, according to the invention, in the upper part of each side wall and rear wall of each the container is provided with means of engagement with the side walls and the rear wall of other containers, respectively.

In a preferred embodiment, the engaging means on each side wall of each container is a protrusion located on the outside of the side wall between the handle and the front wall and made in the form of a shelf with a vertical groove between the shelf and the side wall, with a free vertical edge on one side wall the shelf is directed towards the front wall, and on the other side wall - towards the rear wall, the shape and dimensions of the shelf being in response to the shape and size of the groove, ensuring engagement when the shelf of another adjacent container is inserted into the groove.

In this case, it is advisable on each side wall of each container, before entering the groove from the side of the vertical edge of the shelf, to perform a sag smoothly conjugated with the surface of the side wall inside the groove.

Also, in a preferred embodiment, the engaging means on the rear wall of each container is made in the form of three projections arranged in a row along the upper edge of the rear wall, two of which have recesses on their facing sides and form a groove, and the third projection has projections on its lateral sides and the shape and dimensions of the third protrusion correspond to the shape and size of the groove between the two protrusions, ensuring engagement when the third protrusion of another adjacent container is inserted into the groove.

In addition, it is preferable that the side walls and the rear wall of each container are perpendicular to its bottom, and the front wall or part of it is located at an angle to the bottom of more than 90 degrees.

In addition, it is advisable to make the lid of each container in which it has two recesses on the outside with a partition between them, forming the lid handle, and the recesses smoothly mate with the edges of the lid to form a double-sided scoop for collecting waste the walls of the container are removable.

The technical result achieved by the invention is that the containers can be connected to each other along the side and rear walls to form a system of various configurations from any number of containers without the use of additional pallet-type limiters.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings.

FIG. 8 is a section along AA in FIG. 7.

The system of containers for separate collection of waste contains plastic containers 1, each of which has a front wall 2, a rear wall 3 and side walls 4 and 5, as well as a bottom 6 (Fig. 1). Each container 1 is equipped with a handle 7 connected to the side walls 4 and 5 and a lid 8 connected to the rear wall 3 with the possibility of folding and removing (Fig. 3). In the upper part of each side wall 4 and 5 and the rear wall 3 of each container 1, means of engagement are made, respectively, with the side walls 4 and 5 and the rear wall 3 of the other containers 1.

In the example below, the engaging means on each side wall 4 and 5 of each container 1 is a protrusion located on the outside of the side wall 4 or 5 between the connection point of the handle 7 and the front wall 2 and made in the form of a shelf 9 with a vertical slot 10 between shelf 9 and side wall 4, 5 (Fig. 2). In this case, on one side wall 4, the free vertical edge of the shelf 9 is directed towards the front wall 2, and on the other side wall 5 - towards the rear wall 3. The shape and dimensions of the shelf 9 correspond to the shape and size of the groove 10 with ensuring engagement when inserted into groove 10 of the shelf 9 of another adjacent container 1 (Fig. 5).

On each side wall 4, 5, in front of the entrance to the groove 10 from the side of the vertical edge of the shelf 9, a bead 11 is made, smoothly conjugated on one side with the surface of the side wall 4, 5 inside the groove 10.

The means of engagement on the rear wall 3 is made in the form of three projections 12, 13 and 14 arranged in a row along the upper edge of the rear wall 3. Two projections 12 and 13 have recesses on the sides facing each other and form a groove 15, and the third projection 14 has on protrusions on their lateral sides (Fig. 2). The shape and dimensions of the third protrusion 14 correspond to the shape and size of the groove 15 between the two protrusions 12 and 13 to ensure engagement when the third protrusion 14 of another adjacent container 1 is inserted into the groove 15 (Fig. 5).

The side walls 4, 5 and the back wall 3 of each container 1 are perpendicular to its bottom 6, and the front wall 2 or part of it is located at an angle to the bottom 6 of more than 90 degrees to facilitate waste discharge. On the front wall 2, an inscription is made or glued with the name of the type of waste. In this case, containers 1 for collecting different types of waste are made of different colors.

The cover 8 of each container 1 can be used as a scoop for collecting waste. For this, it has two recesses 16 on the outside with a partition 17 between them, which form a lid handle. The recesses 16 smoothly mate with the edges of the cover 8 to form a double-sided scoop (Fig. 7, 8). On the rear wall 3 of the container 1, there are slots 18 (Fig. 1) for inserting the staples 19 made on the cover 8.

The system is assembled as follows.

When connecting containers 1 in a row, the shelf 9 on the side wall 4 of one container 1 is inserted into the groove 10 on the side wall 5 of another container. Thus, the required number of containers are connected in a row. When connected to this row of the container 1 from the rear side, the third projections 14 on the rear walls 3 of the two containers 1 are inserted mutually from above and below into the slots 15 on the rear walls 3 of these containers 1, respectively. Thus, it is possible to design systems of different configurations with a different number of containers 1 ( Fig. 3, 4, 6) depending on the place of their installation.

The containers 1 can also be attached to a wall or furniture by means of brackets fixed to it, which have protrusions similar to the protrusions 12, 13 and 14 on the back wall 3 of the container 1.

The described example of the implementation of the engaging means for connecting containers 1 is preferred, but not the only one; other configurations of the protrusions that ensure the engaging of the containers are possible.
