Description

L'invention concerne les bacs pour la collecte de déchets et plus particulièrement les bacs destinés à faciliter le tri sélectif.The invention relates to bins for the collection of waste and more particularly to bins intended to facilitate selective sorting.

En général, pour permettre à un utilisateur de trier ses déchets, on dispose, à proximité, plusieurs bacs qui sont chacun destinés à accueillir un type de déchets. Ainsi, de façon connue en soi, on dispose, en un même emplacement, un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en verre, un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en plastique et un bac dont la fonction est de collecter les déchets principalement en papier. Dans cette configuration, le nombre de bacs est relativement important.In general, to allow a user to sort his waste, there are several bins nearby which are each intended to accommodate one type of waste. Thus, in a manner known per se, there is, in the same location, a bin whose function is to collect mainly glass waste, a bin whose function is to collect mainly plastic waste and a bin whose function is to collect waste mainly in paper. In this configuration, the number of trays is relatively large.

Pour faciliter le tri sélectif, on utilise également des bacs pour la collecte de déchets qui comprennent au moins une paroi de séparation qui délimite plusieurs espaces distincts. Chaque espace est ainsi dédié à la collecte d'un type de déchets. Par exemple, l'un des espaces est dédié à la collecte du verre tandis que l'autre espace est destiné à recueillir du papier. Dans cette configuration, le nombre de bacs nécessaires pour permettre à l'utilisateur de trier ses déchets est plus réduit.To facilitate selective sorting, bins are also used for collecting waste which include at least one dividing wall which delimits several distinct spaces. Each space is thus dedicated to the collection of a type of waste. For example, one of the spaces is dedicated to collecting glass while the other space is intended to collect paper. In this configuration, the number of bins required to allow the user to sort his waste is smaller.

Chacun de ces espaces est accessible à un utilisateur par l'intermédiaire d'un couvercle. Ainsi, le bac comprend au moins deux parties formant le couvercle, chacune des parties obturant (ou donnant accès) à un espace de stockage de déchets.Each of these spaces is accessible to a user via a cover. Thus, the bin comprises at least two parts forming the cover, each of the parts closing off (or giving access) to a waste storage space.

On connaît par exemple des bacs de collecte de déchets comprenant un couvercle en deux parties, les parties étant fixées sur des parois du bac de collecte opposées l'une à l'autre et se rejoignant au niveau de la paroi de séparation lorsque les deux parties obturent l'accès aux deux espaces de stockage de déchets. Le brevet FR 3 045 020 un bac de collecte de déchets comprenant deux parties montées mobiles en rotation au niveau de la paroi de séparation, avec deux axes de rotation parallèles entre eux.For example, waste collection bins are known comprising a cover in two parts, the parts being fixed to the walls of the collection bin opposite to one another and joining at the level of the separation wall when the two parts block access to the two waste storage spaces. The patent FR 3 045 020 a waste collection container comprising two parts mounted movable in rotation at the level of the partition wall, with two axes of rotation parallel to each other.

Cependant, ce type de bac peut présenter un inconvénient en termes de qualité de stockage des déchets.However, this type of bin can have a drawback in terms of the quality of waste storage.

En effet, ces derniers peuvent être stockés à l'extérieur et alors être exposés aux différentes conditions climatiques. En cas de pluie, de l'eau peut alors s'infiltrer au niveau de la zone au niveau de laquelle les deux parties du couvercle se rejoignent, qu'il s'agisse de la zone d'articulation des deux parties ou non.Indeed, these can be stored outdoors and then be exposed to different climatic conditions. In the event of rain, water can then infiltrate at the level of the area at which the two parts of the cover meet, whether it is the area of articulation of the two parts or not.

Dans le cas où les déchets contenus dans le bac comprennent du papier ou encore du carton, ces derniers peuvent être altérés et difficilement voire non exploitables dans le cadre d'un éventuel recyclage.In the event that the waste contained in the bin includes paper or even cardboard, the latter may be altered and difficult or even not usable in the context of possible recycling.

L'invention a notamment pour but de remédier à l'inconvénient précité en fournissant un couvercle en deux parties empêchant l'infiltration d'eau entre les deux parties du couvercle.The object of the invention is in particular to remedy the aforementioned drawback by providing a cover in two parts preventing the infiltration of water between the two parts of the cover.

A cet effet l'invention a pour objet un couvercle destiné à être fixé sur un bac de collecte de déchets, comprenant au moins une première et une seconde parties mobiles l'une par rapport à l'autre, la première partie comprenant un premier côté recouvrant un second côté de la seconde partie, le premier côté comprenant une première extrémité s'étendant au moins en partie en direction de la seconde partie lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets, le second côté comprenant une seconde extrémité s'étendant en direction de la première partie en regard d'une extension de la première extrémité en direction de la seconde partie lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets.To this end, the invention relates to a cover intended to be fixed on a waste collection container, comprising at least a first and a second mobile part relative to one another, the first part comprising a first side covering a second side of the second part, the first side comprising a first end extending at least in part towards the second part when the cover is in the closed position on a waste collection container, the second side comprising a second end extending in the direction of the first part facing an extension of the first end in the direction of the second part when the cover is in the closed position on a waste collection container.

On entend par recouvrement le fait qu'un côté s'étend au-dessus de l'autre lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation.By covering is meant the fact that one side extends above the other when the cover is in the closed position.

Ainsi, obtient un couvercle comprenant plusieurs parties qui, au niveau de leur zone de jonction, comprennent des éléments complémentaires (extrémités orientées vers l'autre partie du couvercle) collaborant pour former une zone d'étanchéité s'apparentant à une chicane afin de protéger les déchets présents dans le conteneur lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation. Cette configuration permet aussi d'éviter que des insectes ne pénètrent dans un bac de collecte, par exemple dans le cas où ce dernier comprend des déchets fermentescibles.Thus, a cover is obtained comprising several parts which, at their junction zone, include complementary elements (ends oriented towards the other part of the cover) working together to form a sealing zone similar to a baffle in order to protect the waste present in the container when the cover is in the closed position. This configuration also makes it possible to prevent insects from entering a collection bin, for example in the case where the latter comprises fermentable waste.

De plus, cette solution évite d'avoir à rapporter un élément sur au moins une partie du couvercle, par exemple un joint, pour assurer l'étanchéité de l'ensemble. On évite par conséquent une étape de reprise supplémentaire d'une ou des deux parties du couvercle. Cette solution est dès lors plus économique.In addition, this solution avoids having to attach an element to at least part of the cover, for example a seal, to ensure the tightness of the assembly. One therefore avoids an additional recovery step of one or both parts of the cover. This solution is therefore more economical.

Le couvercle selon l'invention peut en outre comprendre au moins une des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • la première extrémité s'étend intégralement en direction de la seconde partie et la seconde extrémité s'étend intégralement en direction de la première partie lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets ;
  • la première et la seconde extrémités s'étendent dans des directions formant un angle inférieur à 45° avec un axe vertical lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets ;
  • la première et la seconde extrémités s'étendent dans des directions verticales lorsque le couvercle est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets ;
  • au moins une des première et seconde extrémités est formée par une nervure ménagée le long du premier côté ou du second côté ; et
  • au moins une des première et seconde extrémités est formée par un recourbement du premier ou du second côté.
The cover according to the invention can also comprise at least one of the following characteristics:
  • the first end extends entirely in the direction of the second part and the second end extends entirely in the direction of the first part when the cover is in the closed position on a waste collection container;
  • the first and second ends extend in directions forming an angle of less than 45 ° with a vertical axis when the cover is in the closed position on a waste collection container;
  • the first and second ends extend in vertical directions when the cover is in the closed position on a waste collection container;
  • at least one of the first and second ends is formed by a rib formed along the first side or the second side; and
  • at least one of the first and second ends is formed by bending the first or second side.

L'invention a également pour objet un bac de collecte de déchets comprenant :

  • une cuve,
  • au moins une paroi de séparation délimitant des espaces de stockage de déchets dans la cuve, et
  • un couvercle selon l'invention, chacune des parties du couvercle étant agencée pour obturer un espace de stockage de déchets.
The subject of the invention is also a waste collection container comprising:
  • a tank,
  • at least one partition wall delimiting waste storage spaces in the tank, and
  • a cover according to the invention, each of the parts of the cover being arranged to close off a waste storage space.

Le bac de collecte selon l'invention peut en outre comprendre au moins une des caractéristiques suivantes :

  • les première et seconde parties du couvercle sont montées mobiles en rotation sur la paroi de séparation ;
  • les première et seconde parties du couvercle sont mobiles autour d'un même axe de rotation ; et

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • [Fig. 1] la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un bac de collecte de déchets comprenant un couvercle selon l'invention, et
  • [Fig. 2] la figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'une zone d'articulation des parties d'un couvercle selon l'invention sur un bac de collecte de déchets.
The invention will be better understood on reading the description which will follow, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • [ Fig. 1 ] the figure 1 is a perspective view of a waste collection container comprising a cover according to the invention, and
  • [ Fig. 2 ] the figure 2 is a perspective view of an articulation zone of the parts of a cover according to the invention on a waste collection container.

Description détailléedetailed description

On se réfère désormais à la figure 1 représentant un bac de collecte de déchets 2 comprenant une cuve 4 et un couvercle 6.We now refer to the figure 1 showing a waste collection bin 2 comprising a tank 4 and a cover 6.

La cuve 4 comprend une ouverture (ici obturée par le couvercle 6), de forme sensiblement carrée, sur son extrémité supérieure, selon la direction verticale. De plus, la cuve 4 comporte, sur un contour délimitant l'ouverture, une collerette 7 qui permet de renforcer mécaniquement la cuve 4, notamment pour le soulevage lors du vidage du bac de collecte 2. En outre, la collerette 7 sert de support aux contours du couvercle 6. Sur une portion de cette collerette 7, deux poignées 9 sont fixées de façon à permettre une préhension facile du bac de collecte 2 par un opérateur.The tank 4 comprises an opening (here closed by the cover 6), of substantially square shape, on its upper end, in the vertical direction. In addition, the tank 4 comprises, on a contour delimiting the opening, a collar 7 which makes it possible to mechanically reinforce the tank 4, in particular for lifting when emptying the collection tank 2. In addition, the collar 7 serves as a support. to the contours of the cover 6. On a portion of this collar 7, two handles 9 are fixed so as to allow easy gripping of the collection container 2 by an operator.

La partie inférieure, selon la direction verticale, de la cuve 4 peut être de tout type. Le bac de collecte 2 peut notamment comprendre une ou plusieurs roues. En outre, la cuve 4 est ici essentiellement constituée de plastique, par exemple du polyéthylène, de préférence partiellement ou intégralement recyclé, mais peut, selon une variante du présent mode de réalisation, comprendre un autre matériau plastique ou du métal. La cuve 4 peut être issue d'un procédé de moulage par injection, elle est monobloc.The lower part, in the vertical direction, of the tank 4 can be of any type. The collection bin 2 can in particular comprise one or more wheels. In addition, the tank 4 is here essentially made of plastic, for example polyethylene, preferably partially or fully recycled, but may, according to a variant of the present embodiment, comprise another plastic material or metal. The tank 4 can be the result of an injection molding process, it is in one piece.

Le couvercle 6 peut comprendre une première partie 8 et une seconde partie 10 obturant deux espaces de stockage de déchets. Chacune des parties 8 et 10 est assimilable à un couvercle, l'ensemble formant le couvercle 6 qui est assimilable à un dispositif d'obturation de l'ouverture de la cuve.The cover 6 may include a first part 8 and a second part 10 closing off two waste storage spaces. Each of the parts 8 and 10 can be likened to a cover, the assembly forming the cover 6 which can be likened to a device for closing the opening of the tank.

Ces espaces de stockage sont séparés par l'intermédiaire d'une paroi de séparation 12 (visible sur la figure 2) délimitant deux espaces distincts respectivement accessibles par la première partie 8 et la seconde partie 10. Bien entendu, il est possible qu'il y ait plus d'une paroi de séparation délimitant plus de deux espaces de stockage de déchets. Dès lors, le nombre de parties formant le couvercle 6 peut être supérieure à deux, le nombre de parties pouvant être égal au nombre d'espaces de stockage de déchets. On peut envisager une cuve comprenant quatre espaces de stockage de déchets et quatre couverclesThese storage spaces are separated by means of a partition wall 12 (visible on the figure 2 ) delimiting two distinct spaces respectively accessible by the first part 8 and the second part 10. Of course, it is possible that there is more than one partition wall delimiting more than two waste storage spaces. Consequently, the number of parts forming the cover 6 can be greater than two, the number of parts possibly being equal to the number of waste storage spaces. It is possible to envisage a tank comprising four waste storage spaces and four lids

Dans ce qui va suivre, nous décrirons une configuration à une paroi de séparation 12, deux espaces de stockage et un couvercle 6 en deux parties 8 et 10.In what follows, we will describe a configuration with a partition wall 12, two storage spaces and a cover 6 in two parts 8 and 10.

Les dimensions de la paroi de séparation 22 sont adaptées pour qu'elle définisse, dans la cuve 12, deux espaces de stockage qui ne communiquent pas l'un envers l'autre et de sorte qu'un déchet, même de taille réduite, introduit dans l'un des espaces de stockage ne puisse rejoindre l'autre espace de stockage, même lorsque le bac de collecte 2 est retourné, pour être par exemple vidé.The dimensions of the separation wall 22 are adapted so that it defines, in the tank 12, two storage spaces which do not communicate with each other and so that waste, even of small size, introduces in one of the storage spaces cannot join the other storage space, even when the collection bin 2 is turned upside down, for example to be emptied.

Le volume des deux espaces de stockage peut être équivalent. Alternativement, la paroi de séparation 12 peut être placée dans la cuve de manière à ce que l'un des espaces de stockage soit plus important que l'autre, par exemple parce qu'il est destiné à recevoir des déchets de volume plus important ou encore dont la quantité produite par un ménage est plus importante.The volume of the two storage spaces can be equivalent. Alternatively, the partition wall 12 can be placed in the tank so that one of the storage spaces is larger than the other, for example because it is intended to receive waste of greater volume or yet the quantity produced by a household is greater.

Dans l'exemple illustré, les première et seconde parties 8 et 10 sont montées pivotantes sur la paroi de séparation 12. Il serait alternativement possible de les monter respectivement pivotantes sur des parois opposées de la cuve 4 et qu'elles interagissent entre elles par l'intermédiaire de leurs extrémités libres, le but de l'invention étant de créer une zone d'étanchéité au niveau de l'interface entre les deux parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 10, qu'il s'agisse ou non de la zone d'articulation de ces dernières.In the example illustrated, the first and second parts 8 and 10 are pivotally mounted on the partition wall 12. It would alternatively be possible to mount them respectively pivotally on opposite walls of the tank 4 and for them to interact with each other through the 'intermediate their free ends, the aim of the invention being to create a sealing zone at the level of the interface between the two parts 8 and 10 of the cover 10, whether or not it is the zone of articulation of the latter.

L'avantage d'une articulation des parties 8 et 10 sur la paroi de séparation 12 réside dans le fait que l'encombrement lié au débattement de ces dernières est limité à la surface au sol du bac contrairement à l'autre articulation décrite dans laquelle les parties 8 et 10 peuvent, en pivoter jusqu'à se trouver au-delà de cette surface au sol. De plus, les deux parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6 peuvent être ouvertes et fermées séparément sans que les mouvements de l'une impacte l'autre ou que les mouvements d'une des parties soient dépendants de la position de l'autre.The advantage of an articulation of the parts 8 and 10 on the partition wall 12 lies in the fact that the bulk associated with the movement of the latter is limited to the floor area of the tank unlike the other articulation described in which parts 8 and 10 can pivot until they are beyond this floor area. In addition, the two parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6 can be opened and closed separately without the movements of one impacting the other or the movements of one of the parts being dependent on the position of the other.

Dans ce qui va suivre, nous allons décrire le mode de réalisation selon lequel les première et seconde parties 8 et 10 sont montées pivotantes sur la paroi de séparation 12. La figure 2 illustre ce mode de réalisation à une extrémité de la paroi de séparation 12 (ce que nous allons décrire), le même mécanisme que celui décrit par la suite étant situé à l'autre extrémité de la paroi de séparation 12.In what follows, we will describe the embodiment according to which the first and second parts 8 and 10 are pivotally mounted on the partition wall 12. The figure 2 illustrates this embodiment at one end of the partition wall 12 (which we will describe), the same mechanism as that described below being located at the other end of the partition wall 12.

Un support d'axe 14 est monté sur la paroi de séparation 12. Un cylindre 16 est placé au niveau d'une ouverture présentes sur le support d'axe. Ce cylindre 16 fait saillie de l'ouverture du support d'axe 14 au-dessus de la paroi de séparation 12. Les première et seconde parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6 comprennent des moyens de fixation permettant de les monter pivotantes sur le cylindre 16. Ainsi, les deux parties 8 et 10 sont pivotantes autour d'un même axe de rotation A.An axle support 14 is mounted on the partition wall 12. A cylinder 16 is placed at an opening in the axle support. This cylinder 16 protrudes from the opening of the axis support 14 above the partition wall 12. The first and second parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6 comprise fixing means allowing them to be pivotably mounted on the cylinder 16. Thus, the two parts 8 and 10 are pivoting about the same axis of rotation A.

Alternativement, le support d'axe pourrait porter deux cylindres afin que les deux parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6 soient pivotantes autour de deux axes de rotation parallèles entre eux, côte à côte ou l'un au-dessus de l'autre.Alternatively, the axis support could carry two cylinders so that the two parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6 are pivoting about two axes of rotation parallel to each other, side by side or one above the other.

Afin d'assurer une grande ouverture de débattement de ces dernières, les deux parties 8 et 10 peuvent respectivement comprendre un tuilage 18 et 20 ménagé sur toute la longueur des côtés des parties 8 et 10 se chevauchant (on entend par chevauchement le fait qu'un côté recouvre l'autre en s'étendant au-dessus de ce dernier lorsque le couvercle 6 est en position d'obturation). On entend par tuilages des courbures des parties 8 et 10 se chevauchant l'une l'autre. Ainsi, l'extrémité de la première partie 8 située sur la seconde partie 10 peut pivoter au-dessus de cette dernière lors de son ouverture en suivant la forme du tuilage 20. Inversement, l'extrémité de la seconde partie 10 située sous la première partie 8 peut pivoter en-dessous de cette dernière lors de son ouverture en suivant la forme du tuilage 18. Avantageusement, les deux tuilages 18 et 20 ont un rayon de courbure sensiblement égal.In order to ensure a large opening of movement of the latter, the two parts 8 and 10 may respectively comprise a tiling 18 and 20 provided over the entire length of the sides of the parts 8 and 10 overlapping (overlapping is understood to mean the fact that one side covers the other, extending above the latter when the cover 6 is in the closed position). Tiling is understood to mean curvatures of parts 8 and 10 overlapping each other. Thus, the end of the first part 8 located on the second part 10 can pivot above the latter when it is opened by following the shape of the tiling 20. Conversely, the end of the second part 10 located under the first part 8 can rotate below the latter during its opening following the shape of the curvature 18. Advantageously, the two tiles 18 and 20 have a substantially equal radius of curvature.

On observe les tuilages 18 et 20 sur la figure 1 au niveau de la zone ou les deux parties 8 et 10 se rejoignent. Ces derniers peuvent former des jupes de recouvrement de l'axe de rotation A des première et seconde parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6.We observe tiles 18 and 20 on the figure 1 at the level of the zone where the two parts 8 and 10 meet. The latter can form covering skirts of the axis of rotation A of the first and second parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6.

Afin de s'assurer de l'étanchéité du couvercle 6, les côtés des parties 8 et 10 se chevauchant (dans le mode de réalisation décrit ceux autour desquels la rotation des parties 8 et 10 a lieu) comprennent chacun une extrémité, l'extrémité 22 de la première partie 8 s'étendant au moins en partie en direction de la seconde partie 10 (c'est-à-dire vers le bas) lorsque le couvercle 6 est en position d'obturation sur le bac de collecte de déchets 2. La seconde extrémité 24 de la seconde partie 10 s'étend quant à elle vers la première partie 8 (c'est-à-dire vers le haut) en regard d'une extension de la première extrémité 22 en direction de la seconde partie 10 lorsque le couvercle 6 est en position d'obturation de l'ouverture de la cuve sur un bac de collecte de déchets 2. En d'autres termes, le couvercle 6 comprend, lorsque le couvercle 6 est en position d'obturation sur un bac de collecte de déchets 2, et par l'interaction entre les deux parties 8 et 10, au moins une zone dans laquelle la première extrémité 22 s'étend vers la seconde partie 10 (en étant positionnée au-dessus de cette dernière) et la seconde extrémité 24 s'étend vers la première partie 8 (en étant positionnée en-dessous de cette dernière) afin de former une chicane assurant l'étanchéité de la zone.In order to ensure the tightness of the cover 6, the sides of the overlapping parts 8 and 10 (in the described embodiment those around which the rotation of the parts 8 and 10 takes place) each comprise one end, the end 22 of the first part 8 extending at least in part in the direction of the second part 10 (i.e. downwards) when the cover 6 is in the closed position on the waste collection container 2 The second end 24 of the second part 10 extends towards the first part 8 (that is to say upwards) opposite an extension of the first end 22 towards the second part. 10 when the cover 6 is in the closed position of the opening of the tank on a waste collection container 2. In other words, the cover 6 comprises, when the cover 6 is in the closed position on a waste collection bin 2, and by the interaction between the two parts 8 and 10, at least one area in which the p first end 22 extends towards the second part 10 (being positioned above the latter) and the second end 24 extends towards the first part 8 (while being positioned below the latter) in order to form a baffle ensuring the waterproofing of the area.

Dans le cas de deux parties montées pivotantes sur des parois opposées de la cuve 4 et interagissant entre elles par l'intermédiaire de leurs extrémités libres, les côtés libres se chevauchent et comprennent des extrémités orientées comme décrit ci-dessus.In the case of two parts mounted to pivot on opposite walls of the tank 4 and interacting with each other via their free ends, the free sides overlap and include ends oriented as described above.

Avantageusement, la première extrémité 22 s'étend intégralement en direction de la seconde partie 10 et la seconde extrémité 24 s'étend intégralement en direction de la première partie 8. Dès lors, et au niveau de toute la zone de chevauchement des parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6 (i.e. au niveau des côtés pouvant former des tuilages), la première partie 8 comprend une extrémité s'étendant en direction de la seconde partie 10 du couvercle 6. La seconde partie 10 comprend quant à elle à l'extrémité de son côté situé sous la première partie 8 une extrémité s'étendant en direction de cette dernière. Ainsi, on assure une étanchéité sur l'intégralité de l'interface entre les deux parties 8 et 10 du couvercle 6.Advantageously, the first end 22 extends entirely in the direction of the second part 10 and the second end 24 extends entirely in the direction of the first part 8. Therefore, and at the level of the entire area of overlap of the parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6 (ie at the level of the sides capable of forming tiles), the first part 8 comprises an end extending in the direction of the second part 10 of the cover 6. The second part 10 comprises for its part at the end of its side located under the first part 8, one end extending in the direction of the latter. Thus, a seal is ensured over the entire interface between the two parts 8 and 10 of the cover 6.

La présence de tuilages est avantageuse car elle permet également d'éviter qu'une extrémité 22 ou 24, au moment de l'ouverture d'une des parties 8 ou 10, ne vienne heurter l'autre partie du couvercle.The presence of tiles is advantageous because it also makes it possible to prevent one end 22 or 24, at the time of opening of one of the parts 8 or 10, from hitting the other part of the cover.

Avantageusement, chacune des extrémités 22 et 24 s'étend dans une direction formant un angle inférieur à 45° avec un axe vertical. De préférence, ils s'étendent dans des directions verticales comme cela est visible sur la figure 2. Cette pente verticale ou s'approchant de la verticalité renforcent l'étanchéité en formant une barrière plus efficace.Advantageously, each of the ends 22 and 24 extends in a direction forming an angle of less than 45 ° with a vertical axis. Preferably they extend into vertical directions as can be seen on the figure 2 . This vertical slope or approaching verticality reinforces the seal by forming a more effective barrier.

Les extrémités 22 et 24 peuvent être formées par des nervures parcourant l'intégralité des côtés des parties 8 et 10 se chevauchant. Ces dernières peuvent être conçues lors du moulage des première et seconde parties 8 et 10.The ends 22 and 24 may be formed by ribs running all over the sides of the overlapping parts 8 and 10. These can be designed during the molding of the first and second parts 8 and 10.

Alternativement, les extrémités respectives des côtés des parties 8 et 10 se chevauchant peuvent être recourbées pour obtenir l'architecture désirée au niveau de la zone de chevauchement.Alternatively, the respective ends of the sides of the overlapping parts 8 and 10 can be bent to obtain the desired architecture at the level of the overlap zone.

Dans le cas où les première et seconde parties 8 et 10 sont montées pivotantes au niveau de parois opposées de la cuve 4, les côtés chevauchants sont ceux présents au niveau de la paroi de séparation 12. La configuration des portions terminales est identique à celle décrite plus haut. La présence de tuilages est quant à elle moins avantageuse que pour l'exemple illustré sur les figures 1 et 2.In the case where the first and second parts 8 and 10 are mounted to pivot at the level of opposite walls of the tank 4, the overlapping sides are those present at the level of the partition wall 12. The configuration of the end portions is identical to that described. upper. The presence of tiles is for its part less advantageous than for the example illustrated on the figures 1 and 2 .

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation présentés et d'autres modes de réalisation apparaîtront clairement à l'homme du métier. Il est notamment possible que des fixations des parties du couvercle soient différentes de celles prévues ci-dessus.The invention is not limited to the embodiments presented and other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. It is in particular possible that the fastenings of the parts of the cover are different from those provided above.

Les dimensionnements des différentes pièces peuvent également être différents de ceux visibles ci-dessus.The dimensions of the different parts may also be different from those visible above.
