Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL FIELD

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Aufnahmesystem für Abfälle, insbesondere für kompressible Abfälle, insbesondere für Papierabfälle, umfassend einen Aufnahmebehälter.The present invention relates to a receiving system for waste, in particular for compressible waste, in particular for paper waste, comprising a receiving container.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Insbesondere in öffentlichen Bereichen oder in Bereichen, die von einer Vielzahl von Personen frequentiert werden, sind sanitäre Einrichtungen vorgesehen wie Waschbecken, etc.. Um sich nach dem Waschen die Hände zu trocknen, werden häufig Spender für Papierhandtücher bereitgestellt. Das Abtrocknen der Hände mit Einweg-Papierhandtüchern entspricht hohen hygienischen Standards.Especially in public areas or in areas that are frequented by a large number of people, sanitary facilities such as sinks, etc. are provided. In order to dry your hands after washing, dispensers for paper towels are often provided. Drying your hands with disposable paper towels meets high hygienic standards.

Hygieneartikel wie Einweg-Handtücher werden in der Regel aus Papier o.ä. Materialien hergestellt. Nach der Benutzung werden die gebrauchten Handtücher vom Benutzer meist an Ort und Stelle entsorgt. Dazu werden in der Nähe des Spenders Abfallbehälter aufgestellt. In den Behälter werden in der Regel Hilfsbehältnisse wie Plastiktüten oder Kunststoffsäcke einbracht, um ein einfaches und hygienisches Entfernen des gesammelten Abfalls und ein Leeren des Behälters zu ermöglichen.Hygiene items such as disposable towels are usually made from paper or similar materials. After use, the used towels are usually disposed of on site by the user. For this purpose, waste containers are placed near the dispenser. Auxiliary containers such as plastic bags or plastic bags are usually placed in the container to enable the collected waste to be removed easily and hygienically and the container to be emptied.

Problematisch ist allerdings die Menge an Abfall, die anfällt, nachdem eine Vielzahl von Nutzern von Papierhandtüchern Gebrauch gemacht hat. Insbesondere kann das Volumen des Abfalls erheblich sein, da Papier zwar komprimierbar ist, die Benutzer jedoch die gebrauchten Handtücher meist in den Abfallbehälter werfen, ohne diese vorher ausreichend zu komprimieren. Die Volumenkapazität des Abfallbehälters ist daher begrenzt. Der Inhalt des Behälters muss folglich in kurzen Zeitabständen geleert und abtransportiert werden.What is problematic, however, is the amount of waste that is generated after a large number of users have used paper towels. In particular, the volume of waste can be significant because although paper is compressible, users usually throw used towels into the waste bin without first compressing them sufficiently. The volume capacity of the waste container is therefore limited. The contents of the container must therefore be emptied and transported away at short intervals.

Die Druckschrift KR 2009 0127009 A offenbart eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, die Abfall kompakt presst und bindet. Die Vorrichtung weist einen Behälter und ein Presselement auf.The publication KR 2009 0127009 A discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1, which compacts and binds waste. The device has a container and a pressing element.

AUFGABE DER ERFINDUNGOBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Ausgehend davon besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, ein Aufnahmesystem mit einer höheren Kapazität für Abfälle bereitzustellen.Based on this, the object of the present invention is to provide a collection system with a higher capacity for waste.

TECHNISCHE LÖSUNGTECHNICAL SOLUTION

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die Bereitstellung eines Aufnahmesystems für Abfälle, insbesondere für komprimierbare Abfälle, insbesondere für Papierabfälle gemäß dem Anspruch 1 und einem Verfahren nach Anspruch 13.

  2. b) Manuelles Komprimieren des Abfalls im Behälter mittels eines Kompressionselements;
  3. c) Befestigen des Kompressionselements in einer Endstellung mittels dafür vorgesehener Mittel zum Halten des Kompressionselements gegen den vom komprimierten Abfall ausgeübten Druck.
A method according to the invention for the space-saving collection of compressible waste using a recording system as described above comprises the steps.
  1. a) introducing a first amount of waste into the interior of the container;
  2. b) Manually compressing the waste in the container using a compression element;
  3. c) fixing the compression element in an end position by means of means provided for holding the compression element against the pressure exerted by the compressed waste.

Insbesondere werden die Schritte a) bis c) ein- oder mehrmals wiederholt werden. So werden, bevor das System entsorgt wird, mehrere Kammern mit komprimiertem Abfall gebildet.In particular, steps a) to c) will be repeated one or more times. Thus, before the system is disposed of, several chambers with compressed waste are formed.

Zusammenfassend umfasst das erfindungsgemäße Aufnahmesystem für Abfälle, insbesondere für komprimierbare Abfälle, insbesondere für Papierabfälle, einen Aufnahmebehälter, wenigstens ein Kompressionselement, und Mittel zum Halten des Kompressionselements an den Seitenwänden in einer bestimmten Höhe derart, dass das Kompressionselement gegen die durch den unterhalb des Kompressionselements komprimierten Behälterinhalt/Abfall ausgeübte nach oben gerichtete Kraft fixiert ist.In summary, the receiving system according to the invention for waste, in particular for compressible waste, in particular for paper waste, comprises a receiving container, at least one compression element, and means for holding the compression element on the side walls at a certain height in such a way that the compression element is against the compressed by the compression element below the Container contents/waste exerted upward force is fixed.

Als Zubehör wird das Kompressionselement, z.B. ein Kartonblatt zum Herunterdrücken des noch nicht komprimierten Papiers mitgeliefert. Am Behälter sind erfindungsgemäß Mittel vorgesehen, um das Kompressionselement nach dem Komprimieren innen am Behälter zu fixieren, zumindest gegen den Druck von unten.The compression element, e.g. a cardboard sheet for pressing down the not yet compressed paper, is included as an accessory. According to the invention, means are provided on the container in order to fix the compression element inside the container after compression, at least against the pressure from below.

Die Mittel zum Fixieren des Kompressionselements können in unterschiedlichen Abständen vom Boden des Aufnahmebehälters angeordnet sein, sodass das Kompressionselement in unterschiedlichen Höhen gehalten werden kann. Insbesondere werden als Zubehör mehrere Kompressionselemente mitgeliefert, sodass der Vorgang des Komprimierens und Fixierend des Kompressionselements auf unterschiedlichen Höhen wiederholt werden kann.The means for fixing the compression element can be arranged at different distances from the bottom of the receiving container, so that the compression element can be held at different heights. In particular, several compression elements are supplied as accessories so that the process of compressing and fixing the compression element can be repeated at different heights.

Das Kompressionselement kann insbesondere als flaches Element ausgebildet sein, dessen Kontur in etwa der Querschnittskontur des Aufnahmebehälters entspricht.The compression element can in particular be designed as a flat element, the contour of which approximately corresponds to the cross-sectional contour of the receptacle.

In einer Variante wäre es denkbar, dass das Kompressionselement, z.B. Kartonblatt, einen Rand aufweist, der mit den Nasen oder sonstigen Haltemitteln zusammenwirkt, z.B. kann der Kartonrand nach oben gebogen sein, sodass a) das Herunterdrücken sauber erfolgt, und b) der Rand nach oben gefaltet an den Haltemitteln anliegt.In a variant, it would be conceivable that the compression element, e.g. cardboard sheet, has an edge that interacts with the lugs or other holding means, e.g. the cardboard edge can be bent upwards so that a) the pressing down takes place cleanly, and b) the edge follows folded at the top and rests against the holding means.

Das Kompressionselement kann auch Befestigungselemente aufweisen, z.B. nach außen über den Innenraum des Aufnahmebehälters vorstehende Vorsprünge. Beim Einbringen in den Behälter werden diese Vorsprünge nach innen gedrückt. In diesem Fall wären die in der Seitenwand vorgesehenen Haltemittel beispielsweise Durchbrüche, in die die Vorsprünge eingreifen können, sobald sie sich auf der Höhe der Durchbrüche befinden.The compression element can also have fastening elements, for example projections projecting outwards over the interior of the receptacle. When inserted into the container, these projections are pushed inwards. In this case, the holding means provided in the side wall would be, for example, openings into which the projections can engage as soon as they are at the level of the openings.

In einer anderen Variante können die Mittel zum Halten des Kompressionselements Perforationen bzw. Ausstanzungen aufweisen, die im Bereich einer Kante des Behälters ausgebildet sind, und insbesondere an zwei benachbarten Seitenwänden ausgebildet sind. In diesem Fall werden die Nasen im Bereich der vertikalen Kanten des Behälters ausgebildet bzw. über einem Kompressionselement nach innen gedrückt.In another variant, the means for holding the compression element can have perforations or punched outs which are formed in the region of an edge of the container, and in particular are formed on two adjacent side walls. In this case, the lugs are formed in the area of the vertical edges of the container or are pressed inwards via a compression element.

Die Mittel zum Halten des Kompressionselements können scharnierartige Linien bzw. Bereiche zum Abknicken der Mittel, insbesondere in Richtung des Innenraums des Behälters, aufweisen.The means for holding the compression element can have hinge-like lines or areas for bending the means, in particular towards the interior of the container.

Vorzugsweise sind eines oder mehrere Kompressionselemente abnehmbar am Behälter oder im Bereich des Trägers angeordnet.Preferably one or more compression elements are detachably arranged on the container or in the area of the carrier.

Der Aufnahmebehälter und die eingebrachten Kompressionselemente sowie der gesammelte Inhalt können umweltfreundlich in einem entsorgt werden, ohne dass der Inhalt entleert werden müsste. Papier und Pappe bzw. Karton sind zudem recycelbar, sodass das System insgesamt umweltfreundlich ist.The receptacle and the inserted compression elements as well as the collected contents can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner without the contents having to be emptied. Paper and cardboard are also recyclable, making the system overall environmentally friendly.

DETAILLIERTE BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSBEISPIELEDETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Die Figur 1 zeigt eine erste Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Aufnahmesystems 1 für Papierhandtücher.The Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a receiving system 1 according to the invention for paper towels.

Das Aufnahmesystem weist einen Aufnahmebehälter 2 aus Karton oder Pappe, und Kompressionselemente 3 auf, die beispielsweise als Einlegeblätter / Bögen aus Karton oder Pappe bereitgestellt sein können. So kann das Kompressionselement 3 beispielsweise als Einlegekarton ausgeführt sein. Außerdem kann das Aufnahmesystem 1 einen Träger 4, beispielsweise einen Wandhalter, aufweisen. Die Kompressionselemente 3 sind zwischen einer Seitenwand 40 des Trägers 4 und einer Seitenwand 21 des Behälters 2 aufgenommen und können bedarfsweise entnommen werden.The recording system has a receiving container 2 made of cardboard or cardboard, and compression elements 3, which can be provided, for example, as insert sheets/sheets made of cardboard or cardboard. For example, the compression element 3 can be designed as an insert cardboard. In addition, the recording system 1 can have a carrier 4, for example a wall holder. The compression elements 3 are accommodated between a side wall 40 of the carrier 4 and a side wall 21 of the container 2 and can be removed if necessary.

In der Seitenwand 21 des Behälters 2 sind Ausnehmungen/ Öffnungen ausgebildet. Beispielhaft ist in der Figur 1 die Öffnung 210a dargestellt. Die Öffnungen 210a etc. können ausgestanzt oder ausgeschnitten sein. Sie können jedoch auch zunächst verschlossen sein. Beispielsweise können an den Rändern der Öffnung perforierte Bereiche ausgebildet sein, sodass die Öffnung bei Bedarf durch Eindrücken des von der Perforation begrenzten Verschlussbereichs geöffnet wird. Der Bereich innerhalb der Perforierung wird eingedrückt, um den Bereich innerhalb der Perforation zu öffnen und so die Öffnung 210a auszubilden. Alternativ zu Perforationen können andere Arten von Schwächungslinien vorgesehen sein, die Sollbruchstellen ausbilden.Recesses/openings are formed in the side wall 21 of the container 2. An example is in the Figure 1 the opening 210a is shown. The openings 210a etc. can be punched or cut out. However, they can also be initially closed. For example, perforated areas can be formed on the edges of the opening, so that the opening can be opened if necessary by pressing in the closure area delimited by the perforation. The area within the perforation is indented, to open the area within the perforation to form the opening 210a. As an alternative to perforations, other types of weakening lines can be provided which form predetermined breaking points.

Die Figur 2 zeigt den im Träger 4 stehenden Aufnahmebehälter 2. Zwischen der Seitenwand 40 des Trägers ist der spaltartige Raum 41 zur Aufnahme eines oder mehrerer der Kompressionselemente (hier nicht dargestellt) erkennbar. Der Behälter weist vier (4) Seitenwände 21, 22, 23, 24, einen Boden 26 und einen Deckel 25 auf. Der Deckel 25 weist eine Öffnung 250 zum Einwerfen gebrauchter Papierhandtücher auf. Der Deckel 25 kann geöffnet oder verschlossen werden, wie in der Figur 3 dargestellt.The Figure 2 shows the receptacle 2 standing in the carrier 4. The gap-like space 41 for receiving one or more of the compression elements (not shown here) can be seen between the side wall 40 of the carrier. The container has four (4) side walls 21, 22, 23, 24, a base 26 and a lid 25. The lid 25 has an opening 250 for throwing in used paper towels. The lid 25 can be opened or closed, as in the Figure 3 shown.

Die Figur 4 zeigt ein Detail einer der Seitenwände 21 oder 23 des erfindungsgemäßen Behälters 2, die sich gegenüber liegen. In der Seitenwand 21 (wie 23) sind acht (8) Ausnehmungen 210a, 210b, 210c, 210d, 210e, 210f, 210g, 210h ausgebildet, die sich jeweils paarweise auf einer bestimmten Höhe befinden. So befinden sich die Ausnehmungen 210a und 210b im oberen Bereich der Seitenwand 21 in einer Höhe H1, die Ausnehmungen 210c und 210d auf einer Höhe H2 unterhalb der Höhe H1, die Ausnehmungen 210e und 210f auf einer Höhe H3 unterhalb der Höhe H2, und die die Ausnehmungen 210g und 210h auf einer Höhe H4 unterhalb der Höhe H3. Die Abstände zwischen den benachbarten Höhenniveaus sind in etwa gleich groß.The Figure 4 shows a detail of one of the side walls 21 or 23 of the container 2 according to the invention, which lie opposite one another. Eight (8) recesses 210a, 210b, 210c, 210d, 210e, 210f, 210g, 210h are formed in the side wall 21 (like 23), each of which is located in pairs at a certain height. The recesses 210a and 210b are located in the upper region of the side wall 21 at a height H1, the recesses 210c and 210d at a height H2 below the height H1, the recesses 210e and 210f at a height H3 below the height H2, and the Recesses 210g and 210h at a height H4 below the height H3. The distances between the neighboring height levels are approximately the same.

Die Form der Ausnehmungen 210a-210h ist in etwa schmetterlingsförmig, d.h. die Ausnehmungen weisen seitlich eine Länge L auf, die sich zur Mitte der Öffnung hin verringert. Der obere und der untere Rand der Öffnung wird durch oben bzw. unten jeweils eine sich konvex in das Zentrum der Ausnehmung (z.B. 210d) erstreckende Lasche 211d, 212d gebildet. Durch die damit entstehende Form der Ausnehmung 210d ist ein einfaches Einbringen bzw. Einfädeln einer Ausbuchtung bzw. einer Lasche des Kompressionselements 3 ermöglicht, wie im Folgenden beschrieben wird. Außerdem gewährleistet die Form der Ausnehmungen 210a-210h eine sichere Fixierung einer eingebrachten Ausbuchtung bzw. Lasche.The shape of the recesses 210a-210h is approximately butterfly-shaped, i.e. the recesses have a length L on the sides, which decreases towards the center of the opening. The upper and lower edges of the opening are formed by a tab 211d, 212d which extends convexly into the center of the recess (e.g. 210d) at the top and bottom. The resulting shape of the recess 210d makes it possible to easily insert or thread a bulge or a tab of the compression element 3, as will be described below. In addition, the shape of the recesses 210a-210h ensures a secure fixation of an introduced bulge or tab.

Die Figur 5 zeigt ein Kompressionselement 3 des erfindungsgemäßen Aufnahmesystems 1 in einer Draufsicht. Das Kompressionselement 3 kann in den Innenraum des Behälters 2 eingebracht und manuell nach unten gedrückt werden, um den kompressiblen Abfall in Richtung des Bodens 26 zu drücken und innerhalb des Aufnahmeraums zu komprimieren. Das Kompressionselement 3 kann beispielsweise als Papp- oder Kartonscheibe oder -bogen ausgebildet sein. Die Größe des Kompressionselements entspricht in etwa den Innenmaßen der Öffnung 26, d.h. das Kompressionselement 3 kann passgenau in den Aufnahmeraum eingelegt und nach unten gedrückt werden.The Figure 5 shows a compression element 3 of the recording system 1 according to the invention in a top view. The compression element 3 can be inserted into the interior of the container 2 and manually pressed down to press the compressible waste towards the bottom 26 and compress it within the receiving space. The compression element 3 can, for example, be a cardboard or cardboard disk or sheet be trained. The size of the compression element corresponds approximately to the internal dimensions of the opening 26, ie the compression element 3 can be inserted precisely into the receiving space and pressed down.

Ist der Behälter 2 zu einem bestimmten Maß befüllt, kann ein Kompressionselement 3 in den Innenraum des Behälters 2 eingebracht und nach unten gedrückt werden, sodass der enthaltene Papierabfall komprimiert wird. Danach wird das Kompressionselement 3 durch Einführen der Ausbuchtungen 31, 32, 33 und 34 in einer gewünschten Höhe H1, H2, H3 oder H4 fixiert werden.If the container 2 is filled to a certain extent, a compression element 3 can be introduced into the interior of the container 2 and pressed down so that the paper waste contained is compressed. Thereafter, the compression element 3 will be fixed at a desired height H1, H2, H3 or H4 by inserting the bulges 31, 32, 33 and 34.

Das Kompressionselement 3 weist einen im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Hauptbereich 30 auf. Lediglich in den Ecken und an zwei sich gegenüber liegenden Seiten sind kreissegmentförmige Ausschnitte 300, 301 ausgebildet. An den Hauptbereich schließen sich vier (4) nach außen hervorstehende Vorsprünge bzw. Laschen bzw. seitliche Ausbuchtungen 31, 32, 33, 34 an. Jeweils zwei der Ausbuchtungen 31, 32, 33, 34 sind an gegenüber liegenden Seiten des Hauptbereichs 30 des Kompressionselements 3 angeordnet. Die Anordnung und Ausbildung der Ausbuchtungen 31, 32, 33, 34 ist so, dass diese in die Ausnehmungen 210a-210h des Behälters 2 eingeschoben werden und so das Kompressionselement 3 an vier Punkten am bzw. im Behälter 2 in einer der Höhen H1, H2, H3 oder H4 fixiert werden kann.The compression element 3 has a substantially rectangular main area 30. Circular segment-shaped cutouts 300, 301 are only formed in the corners and on two opposite sides. The main area is adjoined by four (4) outwardly projecting projections or tabs or lateral bulges 31, 32, 33, 34. Two of the bulges 31, 32, 33, 34 are arranged on opposite sides of the main region 30 of the compression element 3. The arrangement and design of the bulges 31, 32, 33, 34 is such that they are inserted into the recesses 210a-210h of the container 2 and so the compression element 3 at four points on or in the container 2 at one of the heights H1, H2 , H3 or H4 can be fixed.

Die Ausbuchtungen 31, 32, 33, 34 (z.B. Vorsprünge oder Laschen) sind im Wesentlichen formstabil, d.h. sie verbiegen sich beim Einbringen des Kompressionselements 3 in den Behälter 2 gegenüber dem Hauptbereich 30 (der in etwa die Maße der von den Seitenwänden 21, 22, 23, 24 eingeschlossenen Fläche aufweist) nicht. Vielmehr wölben sich die Behälterwände 21, 23 nach außen, sodass die überstehenden Vorsprünge 31, 32, 33, 34 ihre Form beim Herabdrücken des Kompressionselements 3 beibehalten.The bulges 31, 32, 33, 34 (e.g. projections or tabs) are essentially dimensionally stable, i.e. they bend when the compression element 3 is inserted into the container 2 relative to the main area 30 (which approximately has the dimensions of the side walls 21, 22 , 23, 24 enclosed area). Rather, the container walls 21, 23 bulge outwards, so that the protruding projections 31, 32, 33, 34 maintain their shape when the compression element 3 is pressed down.

Dieser Vorgang kann mehrmals mit jeweils einem weiteren Kompressionselement 3 wiederholt werden, im vorliegenden Fall bis zu viermal (Höhen H1-H4).This process can be repeated several times with another compression element 3, in the present case up to four times (heights H1-H4).

Der Behälter 2 ist insbesondere als Faltkarton mit Blitzboden ausgeführt. Ist der Behälter 2 ganz befüllt, kann er als Ganzes mit seinem Inhalt entsorgt werden, da weder der Behälter 2 selbst noch sein Inhalt andere Stoffe enthält als Papier und Pappe bzw. Karton. Die genannten Stoffe können gemeinsam umweltfreundlich entsorgt werden. Ein weiteres Umfüllen des Inhalts ist nicht erforderlich. Außerdem wurde mittels der Erfindung die Aufnahmekapazität des Behälters 2 vergrößert.The container 2 is designed in particular as a folding box with a lightning bottom. If the container 2 is completely filled, it can be disposed of as a whole with its contents, since neither the container 2 itself nor its contents contain any substances other than paper and cardboard or cardboard. The substances mentioned can be disposed of together in an environmentally friendly way. No further decanting of the contents is necessary. In addition, the storage capacity of the container 2 was increased by means of the invention.

In der Figur 6 ist der Träger 4 dargestellt. Dieser ist als Wandhalter aus Holz oder einem anderen festen Material ausgebildet. Er weist Seitenwände 40 und eine höhere wandseitige Rückwand 41 auf. Der Träger 4 wird in einer bestimmten Höhe beispielsweise an einer Wand eines Sanitärbereichs angebracht, um ein Aufweichen des Behälterbodenbereichs durch am Boden des Sanitärbereichs vorhandenes Wasser zu verhindern. Außerdem weist de Träger 4 einen Boden 42 mit einer Öffnung 420 auf, die dafür sorgt, dass Luft zirkulieren kann, die beiträgt, dass die im Behälter 2 aufgenommenen feuchten Papierhandtücher durchlüftet werden können.In the Figure 6 the carrier 4 is shown. This is designed as a wall holder made of wood or another solid material. It has side walls 40 and a higher rear wall 41 on the wall side. The carrier 4 is attached at a certain height, for example to a wall of a sanitary area, in order to prevent the container bottom area from being softened by water present on the floor of the sanitary area. In addition, the carrier 4 has a base 42 with an opening 420, which ensures that air can circulate, which helps to ventilate the moist paper towels held in the container 2.

Die Figur 7 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Aufnahmesystems 1. Es weist einen Aufnahmebehälter 2, insbesondere für Papierabfälle, auf. Der Aufnahmebehälter 2 kann vorzugsweise aus Pappe oder Karton bestehen. Der Aufnahmebehälter 2 ist dazu geeignet, in Abfallbehälter mit Standardmaßen eingesetzt zu werden.The Figure 7 shows a further embodiment of a receiving system 1 according to the invention. It has a receiving container 2, in particular for paper waste. The receptacle 2 can preferably be made of cardboard or cardboard. The receptacle 2 is suitable for being used in waste containers with standard dimensions.

Der Aufnahmebehälter 2 weist ein Bodenteil 26 und Wandteile 21, 22, 23, 24 auf, die einen Innenraum 27 begrenzen. Am oberen Ende befindet sich eine Öffnung 250 zum Einwerfen gebrauchter Papierhandtücher etc.The receptacle 2 has a base part 26 and wall parts 21, 22, 23, 24, which delimit an interior 27. At the top there is an opening 250 for throwing in used paper towels etc.

Des weiteren weist das Aufnahmesystem 1 ein Kompressionselement 3 auf, das (wie durch den Pfeil K angedeutet) in den Innenraum 27 eingebracht und manuell nach unten gedrückt wird, um den kompressiblen Abfall in Richtung des Bodenteils 26 zu drücken und innerhalb des Innenraums 27 zu komprimieren. Das Kompressionselement 3 kann beispielsweise als Papp- oder Kartonscheibe ausgebildet sein. Die Größe des Kompressionselements entspricht in etwa den Innenmaßen der Öffnung 250, d.h. das Kompressionselement 3 kann in den Innenraum 27 eingeführt und nach unten gedrückt werden.Furthermore, the recording system 1 has a compression element 3, which (as indicated by the arrow K) is introduced into the interior 27 and manually pressed down in order to press the compressible waste towards the bottom part 26 and to compress it within the interior 27 . The compression element 3 can be designed, for example, as a cardboard or cardboard disk. The size of the compression element corresponds approximately to the internal dimensions of the opening 250, i.e. the compression element 3 can be inserted into the interior 27 and pressed downwards.

In den Wandteilen 21, 22, 23, 24 sind auf verschiedenen Ebenen E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 (d.h. in verschiedener Höhe) jeweils mehrere, in dieser Ausführungsform vier (4) im Bereich der Kanten 51, 52, 53, 54 angeordnete Festhaltemittel 61, 62, 63, 64 ausgebildet. Die Festhaltemittel 61, 62, 63, 64 dienen dazu, das eingeführte und nach unten gedrückte Kompressionselement 3 gegen die durch das komprimierte Papier ausgeübte (nach oben wirkende) Kraft unterhalb der Festhaltemittel 61, 62, 63, 64 einer bestimmten Ebene bzw. Höhe zu halten. In der Figur 1 sind beispielhaft nur die vier Festhaltemittel 61, 62, 63, 64 der Ebene E2 bezeichnet.In the wall parts 21, 22, 23, 24 there are several, in this embodiment four (4), at different levels E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 (ie at different heights) in the area of the edges 51, 52, 53, 54 arranged holding means 61, 62, 63, 64 are formed. The holding means 61, 62, 63, 64 serve to hold the inserted and downwardly pressed compression element 3 to a certain level or height below the holding means 61, 62, 63, 64 against the force exerted by the compressed paper (acting upwards). hold. In the Figure 1 For example, only the four holding means 61, 62, 63, 64 of level E2 are designated.

Auf diese Weise kann der komprimierte Abfall nach dem manuellen Zusammendrücken zwischen dem Bodenteil 26 und dem Kompressionselement 3 gehalten werden. Der Vorgang der Kompression und des Festhaltens kann mit mehreren Kompressionselementen 3 in unterschiedlichen Höhen wiederholt werden, sodass übereinander mehrere Kammern von komprimiertem Abfall entstehen. Das oberste Kompressionselement 3 (z.B. in Ebene E5) kann als Deckel dienen, bevor das System 1 aus einem Träger entnommen und entsorgt wird.In this way, the compressed waste can be held between the bottom part 26 and the compression element 3 after manual compression. The process of compression and holding can be repeated with several compression elements 3 at different heights, so that several chambers of compressed waste are created one above the other. The uppermost compression element 3 (e.g. in level E5) can serve as a lid before the system 1 is removed from a carrier and disposed of.

In der Figur 8 ist eines der Festhaltemittel 61 (an der Kante 51 in Ebene E2 der Figur 1) beispielhaft dargestellt. Prinzipiell sind die Festhaltemittel 61, 62, 63, 64 aller Ebenen E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 gleich oder ähnlich aufgebaut. Das Festhaltemittel 61 ist ein in den Wänden 21, 22 perforierter bzw. gestanzter Bereich B, der eine obere, sich um die Kante 51 erstreckende perforierte oder ausgestanzte Linie 610 und eine untere sich um die Kante 51 erstreckende perforierte oder ausgestanzte Linie 611 aufweist. Die angedeuteten seitlichen Abgrenzungen 612 und 613 sind in der Regel ohne Perforation mit der Seitenwand 21 bzw. 22 verbunden. Sie bilden beim Eindrücken des Bereichs B zum Ausbilden einer in den Innenraum 27 ragenden Haltenase (vgl. Figur 3) eine Art Scharnier. Um die Funktion als Scharnier zu verbessern, kann entlang der Linien 612, 613 beispielsweise eine Materialschwächung vorgesehen sein.In the Figure 8 is one of the holding means 61 (on the edge 51 in level E2). Figure 1 ) shown as an example. In principle, the holding means 61, 62, 63, 64 of all levels E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 are constructed the same or similar. The holding means 61 is a perforated or punched area B in the walls 21, 22, which has an upper perforated or punched line 610 extending around the edge 51 and a lower perforated or punched line 611 extending around the edge 51. The indicated lateral boundaries 612 and 613 are generally connected to the side wall 21 and 22 without perforation. When the area B is pressed in, they form a retaining lug that projects into the interior 27 (cf. Figure 3 ) a kind of hinge. In order to improve the function as a hinge, a weakening of the material can be provided along lines 612, 613, for example.

Die Figur 9 zeigt das Festhaltemittel 61 in aktiviertem, d.h. eingedrücktem Zustand, nachdem ein Kompressionselement 3 unterhalb der Ebene E1 plaziert wurde. Das Eindrücken des Bereichs B in den Innenraum 27 ist durch den Pfeil P symbolisiert. Die Bereiche B klappen beim Eindrücken um die Scharniere 612 bzw. 613 nach innen und bilden einen Winkel 614.The Figure 9 shows the holding means 61 in an activated, ie pressed-in, state after a compression element 3 has been placed below the plane E1. The pressing of the area B into the interior 27 is symbolized by the arrow P. When pressed in, the areas B fold inwards around the hinges 612 and 613 and form an angle 614.

An den Stellen, an denen die Bereiche B aus den Wänden 21, 22 herausgebrochen wurden, verbleiben Durchbrüche D in den Seitenwänden 21 und 22. Die durch die eingedrückten Bereiche B gebildete Nase kann einer Ausdehnungskraft A (die entgegen der Kompressionskraft gerichtet ist) des komprimierten, unterhalb des Kompressionselements 3 liegenden Materials entgegenwirken, und so das Kompressionselement 3 unterhalb der Ebene E1 halten.At the points where the areas B were broken out of the walls 21, 22, openings D remain in the side walls 21 and 22. The nose formed by the depressed areas B can withstand an expansion force A (which is directed against the compression force) of the compressed , counteract the material lying below the compression element 3, and thus keep the compression element 3 below the level E1.

Derselbe Vorgang kann wiederholt werden, z.B. in der Ebene E2. Dabei entstehen weitere vier (4) nach innen ragende Nasen, die ein weiteres Kompressionselement 3 unterhalb der Ebene E2 halten.The same process can be repeated, for example in level E2. This creates a further four (4) inwardly projecting lugs which hold a further compression element 3 below the level E2.

Gleiches wird in einer oder mehreren der anderen Ebenen E1, E2, E3, E4, E5 wiederholt.The same thing is repeated in one or more of the other levels E1, E2, E3, E4, E5.

Selbstverständlich sind alle möglichen sinnvollen Formen uns Positionen von Nasen, ähnlich der geschilderten Ausführungsform, denkbar, z.B. Ausstanzungen/Perforierungen in Form eines waagerechten Scharniers und einer darüber oder darunter sich (z.B. halbkreisbogenförmig) erstreckenden Ausstanzung/Perforierung.Of course, all possible sensible shapes and positions of noses, similar to the embodiment described, are conceivable, e.g. punched outs/perforations in the form of a horizontal hinge and a punched out/perforation extending above or below (e.g. in the shape of a semicircular arc).

In den Figuren 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d und 4e sind Draufsichten auf die Öffnungen 26 einiger möglicher Ausführungsformen der Nasen dargestellt.4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e show top views of the openings 26 of some possible embodiments of the noses.

Die Figur 10a zeigt die oben beschriebene Ausführungsform bei in den Innenraum 27 gedrückten Nasen 61, 62, 63, 64 gemäß der Figur 3.The Figure 10a shows the embodiment described above with lugs 61, 62, 63, 64 pressed into the interior 27 according to FIG Figure 3 .

Die Figur 10b zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform von in den Innenraum 27 gedrückten Nasen 61, 62, 63, 64, die aus halbkreisförmig an den Seiten 21, 22, 23, 24 ausgebildeten Perforationen/Stanzlinien über waagerechte Scharnierlinien nach innen gedrückt wurden. Sie befinden sich zwischen den vertikalen Kanten 51, 52, 53, 54.The Figure 10b shows a further embodiment of lugs 61, 62, 63, 64 pressed into the interior 27, which were pressed inwards via horizontal hinge lines from perforations/punched lines formed in a semicircle on the sides 21, 22, 23, 24. They are located between the vertical edges 51, 52, 53, 54.

Die Figur 10c zeigt an den Kanten 51, 52, 53, 54 angeordnete, eingedrückte Nasen, die eine unterschiedliche Form als in Figur 10a aufweisen, d.h. entsprechende Ausstanzungen/ Perforationen sind unterschiedlich zu den in den Figuren 10a, 10b gezeigten ausgebildet.The Figure 10c shows pressed-in lugs arranged on the edges 51, 52, 53, 54, which have a different shape than in Figure 10a have, ie corresponding punchings/perforations are different to those in the Figures 10a, 10b shown.

Die Figuren 10d und 10e zeigen Ausführungsformen, bei denen Stäbe 71, 72, 73 und 74 bzw. 71 und 72 oberhalb des Kompressionselements 3 in entsprechende, in einer der Ebene in den Wänden 21, 22, 23, 24 ausgebildete Öffnungen eingeschoben sind, um das Kompressionselement 3 darunter zu fixieren.The Figures 10d and 10e show embodiments in which rods 71, 72, 73 and 74 or 71 and 72 are inserted above the compression element 3 into corresponding openings formed in one of the planes in the walls 21, 22, 23, 24 in order to close the compression element 3 underneath fix.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung zeigen die Figuren 11a und 11b. Hierin ist schematisch eine seitliche Schnittansicht eines Ausschnitts eines Systems 1 mit in den Abfallbehälter 2 eingebrachtem Kompressionselement 3 dargestellt. In dieser Ausführungsform sind die Festhalteelemente in Form von nach innen ragenden Laschen 61, 62 ausgebildet, wobei sich das Scharnier 612, 613 jeweils oben (d.h. oberhalb einer Perforation oder Ausstanzung) befindet, sodass auch bei bereits eingedrückter Lasche 61, 62 (z.B. vorgefertigt bei der Herstellung) das Kompressionselement 3 über die Laschen 61, 62 nach unten geschoben werden kann (Pfeil V). In Figur 11a befindet sich das Kompressionselement 3 oberhalb der Festhalteelemente 61, 62 und das Papier P ist noch nicht komprimiert. In der Figur 11b wurde das Kompressionselement 3 unter die Ebene der Festhalteelemente 61, 62 gedrückt und das Papier P komprimiert. Die Festhalteelemente 61, 62 halten das Kompressionselement 3 davon ab, durch den durch die Kompression des Papiers P erzeugten Druck A nach oben auszuweichen. Die Laschen 61, 62 müssen dazu nach dem Passieren des Kompressionselements 3 bis zu einem gewissen Grad elastisch in den Innenraum 27 zurückschwingen.Another embodiment of the invention is shown in: Figures 11a and 11b . A side sectional view of a section of a system 1 with a compression element 3 inserted into the waste container 2 is shown schematically here. In this embodiment, the retaining elements are designed in the form of inwardly projecting tabs 61, 62, with the hinge 612, 613 located at the top (ie above a perforation or punched out), so that even when the tab 61, 62 is already pressed in (eg prefabricated). during production) the compression element 3 can be pushed down over the tabs 61, 62 (arrow V). In Figure 11a the compression element 3 is located above the retaining elements 61, 62 and the paper P is not yet compressed. In the Figure 11b the compression element 3 was pressed below the level of the holding elements 61, 62 and the paper P was compressed. The holding elements 61, 62 keep the compression element 3 from being compressed by the compression element Paper P generated pressure A to evade upwards. To do this, the tabs 61, 62 must swing back elastically to a certain extent into the interior 27 after passing through the compression element 3.

Die Figur 12 entspricht der Ausführungsform aus Figur 7. Allerdings ist hier zusätzlich dargestellt, dass gefaltete weitere Kompressionselemente 3 am Abfallbehälter 2 abreißbar oder abnehmbar oder (z.B. aus einer am Karton angeordneten Tasche) entnehmbar sind. Auf diese Weise wird sichergestellt, dass stets genügend Kompressionselemente 3 vorhanden sind, um das Papier bei einem bestimmten erreichten Füllstand zu komprimieren und im komprimierten Zustand zu halten. Der Vorgang des Komprimierens und Fixierens wird wiederholt, bis der Behälter 2 gefüllt ist und entsorgt werden kann.The Figure 12 corresponds to the embodiment Figure 7 . However, it is also shown here that further folded compression elements 3 on the waste container 2 can be torn off or removed or removed (eg from a bag arranged on the box). In this way it is ensured that there are always enough compression elements 3 to compress the paper at a certain filling level and to keep it in the compressed state. The process of compressing and fixing is repeated until the container 2 is filled and can be discarded.

Es können in jeder Ausführungsform weitere Kompressionselemente 3 in einer am Karton angeordneten Tasche entnehmbar aufgenommen sein. Die Tasche kann eine obere Öffnung zum Einbringen der Kompressionselemente 3 und einen unteren Ausschnitt aufweisen, der das Entnehmen der Kompressionselemente 3 erleichtert. Das Aufnahmesystem 1 ist insgesamt, also mit der Tasche, zusammenfaltbar.In each embodiment, further compression elements 3 can be removably accommodated in a pocket arranged on the box. The bag can have an upper opening for inserting the compression elements 3 and a lower cutout which makes it easier to remove the compression elements 3. The recording system 1 can be folded up as a whole, i.e. including the bag.
