A sealable refuse receptacle, in particular for medical or chemical purposes, has a receiving receptacle having an upper open end and a lid which seals the upper end and which has a double-walled outside rim which can be slipped onto the rim, which surrounds the upper end, of the receiving receptacle, latching devices being provided for locking the lid with respect to the receiving receptacle. The latching devices include a bead (11) disposed at the upper rim of the receiving receptacle (10) and extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the receiving receptacle (10). The double-walled outside rim of the lid (20; 20') is formed by a circumferential outside wall (30) and a circumferential inside wall (31) which are at a distance from each other such that they can receive between them the upper rim of the receiving receptacle (10) having the bead (11). The outside wall (30) and the inside wall (31) are linked at the top of the lid (20; 20') by a covering wall (32) extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the receiving receptacle (10). The latching devices furthermore comprise strong straps (21) which extend from the wall adjacent to the bead (11) of the receiving receptacle (10) upwards in the direction of the other wall and whose upper edge is disposed at a distance from the bottom of the covering wall (32) such that the bead (11) is able to latch in said distance. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Abfallbehälter der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a waste container of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Abfallbehälter werden in medizinischen oder auch im chemischen Bereich verwendet, um gefährliche Abfälle sicher aufzubewahren und eine sichere Vernichtung dieser Abfälle zusammen mit dem Abfallbehälter zu ermöglichen.Waste containers of this type are used in the medical or also in the chemical field in order to store dangerous waste safely and to enable a safe destruction of this waste together with the waste container.

Aus diesem Grunde ist es erforderlich, daß dieser Abfallbehälter nach seiner Befüllung sicher und dicht schließend verschlossen werden kann, wobei ein erneutes Öffnen erschwert werden soll.For this reason, it is necessary that this waste container can be closed securely and tightly after it has been filled, with the aim of making it difficult to open it again.

Es ist bereits ein Abfallbehälter der eingangs genannten Art bekannt (DE-U 87 10 452), bei dem am oberen Rand des Aufnahmebehälters eine Vielzahl von Nasen angeordnet ist, die in entsprechende Aussparungen eines doppelwandig ausgeführten Außenrandes des Deckels eingreifen. Die Herstellung dieses Aufnahmebehälters sowie des Deckels bedingt jedoch einen erheblichen Aufwand an Formenausrüstungen, was um so mehr unerwünscht ist, als derartige Behälter für den einmaligen Gebrauch bestimmt sind und daher in der Herstellung billig sein sollen. Da beim Füllen des Aufnahmebehälters der Deckel noch nicht aufgesetzt ist, weist dieser Aufnahmebehälter weiterhin eine relativ große Öffnung auf, so daß die Gefahr besteht, daß bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung Material aus dem Behälter wieder herausfällt.A waste container of the type mentioned at the outset is already known (DE-U 87 10 452), in which a multiplicity of lugs is arranged on the upper edge of the receptacle and engage in corresponding recesses in a double-walled outer edge of the cover. The production of this receptacle and the lid, however, requires a considerable amount of mold equipment, which is all the more undesirable since such containers are intended for single use and should therefore be cheap to manufacture. Since the lid is not yet in place when the receptacle is filled, this receptacle continues to have a relatively large opening, so that there is a risk that material will fall out of the receptacle if it is handled improperly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Abfallbehälter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der einen vereinfachten Aufbau und eine vereinfachte Herstellung aufweist und dennoch eine sichere Handhabung ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a waste container of the type mentioned, which has a simplified structure and manufacture and yet allows safe handling.

Dieser Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des An­spruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Aufnahmebehälters bzw. des Deckels wird eine sichere und praktisch unlösbare Verriegelung des Deckels auf dem Aufnahmebehälter nach dem Aufsetzen auf den Aufnahmebehälter erzielt, wobei sowohl der Aufnahmebehälter als auch der Deckel einen sehr einfachen Aufbau aufweisen und mit geringem Formenaufwand herstellbar sind.Due to the inventive design of the receptacle or the lid a secure and practically permanent lock of the lid on the receptacle after placement on the receptacle is achieved, wherein both the receptacle and the lid have a very simple structure and can be produced with little molding effort.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Neuerung ist der Deckel des Abfallbehälters mit einer Durchbrechung versehen, die einen kleineren Querschnitt als die obere Öffnung des Aufnahmebehälters aufweist und durch einen getrennten Hilfsdeckel verschließbar ist.According to a preferred embodiment of the innovation, the lid of the waste container is provided with an opening which has a smaller cross section than the upper opening of the receptacle and can be closed by a separate auxiliary lid.

Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Aufnahmebehälter zunächst mit dem Deckel zu verschließen, den Hilfsdeckel jedoch noch fortzulassen, so daß die Gefahr eines ungewollten Herausfallens vom Material aus dem Behälter verringert ist, da der Öffnungsquerschnitt der Durchbrechung sehr klein ist. Die Durchbrechung kann vorzugsweise teilweise durch eine Abdeckwand abgedeckt sein, die die Kerben oder Aussparungen aufweist, mit deren Hilfe Injektionsnadeln oder dgl. abgestreift und in den Abfallbehälter geworfen werden können.In this way, it is possible to initially close the receptacle with the lid, but still leave out the auxiliary lid, so that the risk of unintentional falling out of the material from the container is reduced, since the opening cross section of the opening is very small. The opening can preferably be partially covered by a cover wall which has the notches or cutouts, by means of which injection needles or the like can be stripped off and thrown into the waste container.

Der Deckel kann weiterhin Rasteinrichtungen aufweisen, die zur Aufbewahrung des Hilfsdeckels vor dessen Gebrauch dienen. Diese Rasteinrichtungen können entweder durch nockenartige Vorsprünge auf der Oberseite des Deckels gebildet sein, die neben dem Bereich der Durchbrechung angeordnet sind, oder der Deckel kann eine über seinen Außenumfang hinaus vorspringende Lasche aufweisen, die Eingriffsteile ausweist, die mit Eingriffsteilen an einer Verlängerung des Hilfsdeckels zusammenwirken, wobei diese Eingriffsteile in einfacher Weise durch eine Bohrung und einen damit zusammenwirkenden Rastzapfen gebildet sein können. Im letzteren Falle ist es möglich, den Hilfsdeckel vor Gebrauch zunächst seitlich von der Durchbrechung fort zu verschwenken.The cover can also have latching devices which serve to store the auxiliary cover before it is used. These locking devices can either be formed by cam-like projections on the top of the lid, which are next to the Area of the opening are arranged, or the cover may have a tab projecting beyond its outer circumference, which has engagement parts that cooperate with engagement parts on an extension of the auxiliary cover, these engagement parts can be formed in a simple manner by a bore and a locking pin cooperating therewith . In the latter case, it is possible to pivot the auxiliary cover laterally away from the opening before use.

Da sowohl der Deckel als auch der Hilfsdeckel mit Einrichtungen versehen sind, die ein nachträgliches Öffnen sehr stark erschweren bzw. unmöglich machen, ergibt sich eine sichere Aufbewahrung des in den Abfallbehälter enthaltenen Materials, der dann der Entsorgung zugeführt werden kann.Since both the lid and the auxiliary lid are provided with devices which make subsequent opening very difficult or impossible, there is a safe storage of the material contained in the waste container, which can then be disposed of.

In Figur 1 ist eine teilweise geschnittene Ansicht des Deckels (20) des Abfallbehälters dargestellt, wobei diese Schnittlinie I - I in Figur 3 angedeutet ist. Wie aus Figur 1 zu erkennen ist, weist der Deckel (20) einen doppelwandigen Außenrand auf, der durch eine Außenwandung (30), eine Innenwandung (31) und eine Deckwandung (32) gebildet ist, die zusammen einen nach unten offenen U-förmigen Querschnitt bilden, von dem der obere, mit einem Wulst (11) versehene Rand des Aufnahmebehälters (10) aufgenommen wird. Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform erstreckt sich dieser Wulst (11) des Aufnahmebehälters (10) nach außen und entsprechend sind an der Außenwandung (30) sich schräg nach oben und in Richtung auf die Innenwandung (31) erstreckende federnde Laschen (21) ausgebildet, die noch näher erläutert werden und zur Verriegelung des Deckels (20) auf dem Aufnahmebehälter (10) dienen.FIG. 1 shows a partially sectioned view of the lid (20) of the waste container, this section line I - I being indicated in FIG. 3. As can be seen from Figure 1, the cover (20) has a double-walled outer edge which is formed by an outer wall (30), an inner wall (31) and a top wall (32), which together have a U-shaped opening which is open at the bottom Form a cross section from which the upper edge of the receptacle (10) provided with a bead (11) is received. In the embodiment shown, this bead (11) of the receptacle (10) extends outwards and, accordingly, resilient tabs (21) are formed on the outer wall (30) and extend obliquely upwards and in the direction of the inner wall (31) are explained in more detail and serve to lock the lid (20) on the receptacle (10).

Selbstverständlich ist auch eine umgekehrte Ausführungsform möglich, bei der sich der Wulst (11) nach innen hin erstreckt, und die federnden Laschen (21) sich von der Innenwandung (31) aus in Richtung auf die Außenwandung (30) erstrecken.Of course, a reverse embodiment is also possible, in which the bead (11) extends inwards and the resilient tabs (21) extend from the inner wall (31) in the direction of the outer wall (30).

Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform sind diese federnden Laschen (21) durch eine umgekehrte U-förmige Ausnehmung (22) von dem Material der Außenwandung (30) getrennt, wie dies in der Mitte der Figur 1 zu erkennen ist. Diese Laschen (21) weisen eine erhebliche Steifigkeit auf, die gerade das Hindurchschieben des oberen Randes des Aufnahmebehälters (10) mit dessen Wulst (11) in den Zwischenraum zwischen die Außenwandung (30) und die Innenwandung (31) ermöglicht, die jedoch kaum ein nachträgliches Lösen des Deckels selbst unter Zuhilfenahme von Werkzeugen ermöglicht, da die federnden Laschen mit erheblicher Kraft gegen die Wandung des Behälters (10) drücken und unter den Wulst (11) greifen. Zu diesem Zweck endet die Oberkante der Laschen (21) in einem Abstand von der Unterseite der Deckwandung (32), der etwa der Höhe des Wulstes (11) entspricht oder geringfügig größer ist.In the embodiment shown, these resilient tabs (21) are separated from the material of the outer wall (30) by an inverted U-shaped recess (22), as can be seen in the middle of FIG. These tabs (21) have a considerable rigidity, which allows the upper edge of the receptacle (10) with its bulge (11) to be pushed through into the space between the outer wall (30) and the inner wall (31), but this is hardly a problem subsequent removal of the lid even with the aid of tools, since the resilient tabs press with considerable force against the wall of the container (10) and under the bead (11) to grab. For this purpose, the upper edge of the tabs (21) ends at a distance from the underside of the top wall (32) which corresponds approximately to the height of the bead (11) or is slightly larger.

Wie aus Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, kann der gleiche Deckel mit einer Vielzahl von Aufnahmebehältern (10) verwendet werden, die eine unterschiedliche Höhe, jedoch einen gleichen Durchmesser des oberen Randes mit dem Wulst (11) aufweisen. Aus diesem Grund ist in Figur 2 sowohl eine Bodenwand (12) als auch eine strichpunktiert eingezeichnete Bodenwand (12′) des Behälters (10) dargestellt, so daß zu erkennen ist, daß dieser Behälter unterschiedliche Höhen aufweisen kann.As can be seen from Figure 2, the same lid can be used with a plurality of receptacles (10) which have a different height but a same diameter of the upper edge with the bead (11). For this reason, both a bottom wall (12) and a dash-dot bottom wall (12 ') of the container (10) is shown in Figure 2, so that it can be seen that this container can have different heights.

Der Wulst (11) des Aufnahmebehälters (10) ist gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform umlaufend ausgbildet, während der Deckel vier am Umfang verteilte, federnde Laschen (21) aufweist, von denen eine in Figur 1 in der linken Hälfte im Querschnitt dargestellt ist, während in der Mitte eine dieser federnden Laschen (21) teilweise in Seitenansicht zu erkennen ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the bead (11) of the receptacle (10) is formed all around, while the lid has four resilient tabs (21) distributed around the circumference, one of which is shown in cross section in FIG. 1 in the left half, while in FIG the middle of one of these resilient tabs (21) can be seen partially in a side view.

In vielen Fällen sind bereits zwei am Umfang verteilte federnde Laschen (21) ausreichend, um eine sichere Verriegelung des Deckels (20) mit dem Aufnahmebehälter sicherzustellen.In many cases, two resilient tabs (21) distributed around the circumference are sufficient to ensure that the cover (20) is securely locked to the receptacle.

Wie aus einer Betrachtung der Figuren 1 und 3 weiterhin zu erkennen ist, weist der Deckel (20) eine Durchbrechung (33) auf, die von einem Umfangsrand (26) umgeben ist. Diese Durchbrechung (33) ist teilweise durch eine Deckwand (23) verschlossen, die in der in Figur 3 ersichtlichen Weise Aussparungen oder Kerben (28, 29) aufweist, die zum Abstreifen von Injektionsnadeln oder dgl. Verwendung finden können.As can also be seen from a consideration of FIGS. 1 and 3, the cover (20) has an opening (33) which is surrounded by a peripheral edge (26). This opening (33) is partially closed by a top wall (23) which, as shown in FIG. 3, has cutouts or notches (28, 29) which can be used to strip off injection needles or the like.

Der Umfangsrand (26) der Durchbrechung (33) weist in der in Figur 1 erkennbaren Weise eine umlaufende Nut (25) auf, in die ein nach innen gerichteter Vorsprung (41) eines Hilfsdeckels (40) eingreifen kann. Dieser Hilfsdeckel (40) wird bei Nichtgebrauch durch aus den Figuren 1 und 3 erkennbare nockenartige Vorsprünge (24, 27) auf der Oberseite des Deckels (20) gehalten und erst nach dem Füllen des Abfallbehälters über den Umfangsrand (26) aufgesetzt. Der nach innen gerichtete Vorsprung (41) des Hilfsdeckels(40) weist ebenso wie die umlaufende Nut (25) einen scharfkantigen Querschnitt auf, so daß der Hilfsdeckel (40) nach dem Aufsetzen auf den Umfangsrand (26) praktisch nicht mehr entfernbar ist.The peripheral edge (26) of the opening (33) has a circumferential groove (25), as can be seen in FIG. 1, into which an inward projection (41) of an auxiliary cover (40) can engage. When not in use, this auxiliary cover (40) can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 3 cam-like projections (24, 27) are held on the upper side of the cover (20) and are placed over the peripheral edge (26) only after the waste container has been filled. The inward projection (41) of the auxiliary cover (40), like the circumferential groove (25), has a sharp-edged cross section, so that the auxiliary cover (40) is practically no longer removable after being placed on the peripheral edge (26).

In den Figuren 6 bis 9 ist eine zweite Ausführungsform des Deckels (20′) bzw. des Hilfsdeckels (50) dargestellt.6 to 9 show a second embodiment of the cover (20 ') or the auxiliary cover (50).

Die in den Figuren 6 und 7 dargestellte Ausführungsform des Deckels unterscheidet sich von der insbesondere aus Figur 3 erkennbaren Ausführungsform dadurch, daß der Hilfsdeckel (50) bei Nichtgebrauch nicht seitlich neben der Durchbrechung mit Hilfe der nockenartigen Vorsprünge festgehalten wird, sondern daß der Deckel (20′)eine sich radial über seinen Außenumfang hinauserstreckende Lasche (51) aufweist, in der eine Bohrung (52) ausgebildet ist. Der Hilfsdeckel (50) weist gemäß den Figuren 8 und 9 eine Verlängerung (54) auf, an deren Ende ein Zapfen (53) angeordnet ist, dessen Durchmesser elastisch verringerbar ist, und der einen Rastkopf (55) mit größerem Durchmesser als die Bohrung (52) des Deckels (20′) aufweist, um ein Einrasten in dieser Bohrung zu ermöglichen.The embodiment of the cover shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 differs from the embodiment that can be seen in particular in FIG. 3 in that the auxiliary cover (50) is not held laterally next to the opening with the aid of the cam-like projections when not in use, but rather that the cover (20 ') Has a radially extending beyond its outer circumference tab (51) in which a bore (52) is formed. According to FIGS. 8 and 9, the auxiliary cover (50) has an extension (54), at the end of which a pin (53) is arranged, the diameter of which can be reduced elastically, and which has a locking head (55) with a larger diameter than the bore ( 52) of the cover (20 ') to allow it to snap into this hole.

Selbstverständlich ist auch eine umgekehrte, nicht dargestellte Ausführungsform denkbar, bei der der Zapfen (53) mit dem Rastkopf (55) als Teil des Deckels (20′) ausgebildet ist, während in diesem Fall der Hilfsdeckel eine einfache Bohrung nach Art der Bohrung (52) des Deckels (20′) aufweist.Of course, a reverse embodiment, not shown, is also conceivable, in which the pin (53) with the latching head (55) is formed as part of the cover (20 '), while in this case the auxiliary cover is a simple hole in the manner of the hole (52 ) of the lid (20 ').

Gemäß einer weiteren denkbaren Ausführungsform ist die Lasche (51) nicht an dem Deckel (20′) ausgebildet, sondern im oberen Bereich des Behälters (10).According to another conceivable embodiment, the tab (51) is not formed on the lid (20 '), but in the upper region of the container (10).

Obwohl bei der in Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsform die Oberseite des Deckels gegenüber der Deckwandung (32) vertieft angeordnet ist, ist genauso eine Anordnung denkbar, bei der die Oberseite des Deckels glatt mit dieser Deckwandung (32) abschließt und der Umfangsrand (26) von dieser Oberseite aus vorspringt. Die gezeigte, bevorzugte Ausführungsform hat jedoch den Vorteil, daß sich ein sehr kompakter Deckel ergibt, der leicht stapelbar ist, wobei diese Stapelung getrennt von dem Aufnahmebehälter (10) erfolgt. Um ein einfaches und einwandfreies Stapeln dieses Aufnahmebehälters (10) zu ermöglichen, ist dieser weiterhin mit außenliegenden Vorsprüngen (13) versehen, die beim Ineinanderstecken zweier Behälter auf dem oberen Rand des untenliegenden Behälters zur Anlage kommen und ein zu tiefes Einschieben verhindern, das ggfs. die Trennung zweier Behälter behindern würde.Although in the embodiment shown in Figure 1 the top of the lid is recessed relative to the top wall (32), an arrangement is also conceivable in which the The top of the lid is flush with this top wall (32) and the peripheral edge (26) projects from this top. The preferred embodiment shown has the advantage, however, that a very compact lid is obtained which is easy to stack, this stacking taking place separately from the receptacle (10). In order to allow a simple and perfect stacking of this receptacle (10), this is also provided with external projections (13), which come into contact when two containers are inserted into one another on the upper edge of the container below and prevent them from being inserted too deeply. would hinder the separation of two containers.
