Abstract

The container has a dismountable assembly comprising an upper plate (2) and lower plate (3) fixing a set of vertical tubes (1). The tubes are made of transparent plastic material and opened at its upper part for permitting the introduction of bottles. The tubes have determined diameter for maintaining the bottles upright and introducing the bottles in the container. The upper plate has openings (10) whose diameter is equal to internal diameter of the tubes.

Description

-1-- La présente invention a pour objet un conteneur pour bouteilleSvidesThe subject of the present invention is a container for empty bottles.

5 en verre.5 glass.

Elle se rapporte d'une manière générale aux équipements de récupération et de transport des éléments destinés à être recyclés. L'objet de l'invention est en particulier destiné au ramassage des l0 bouteilles lors de manifestations temporaires de plein air telles que les réunions sportives ou les réunions musicales connues sous le nom de "rave party", mais peut être utilisé dans tous les cas où des bouteilles vides doivent être envoyées au recyclage, par exemple dans des bars, brasseries ou restaurants. It relates generally to recovery and transport equipment items for recycling. The object of the invention is in particular for the collection of 10 bottles during temporary outdoor events such as sports meetings or musical meetings known as "rave party", but may be used in any case where empty bottles must be sent for recycling, for example in bars, breweries or restaurants.

15 Lorsque des boissons sont distribuées dans des manifestations de plein air réunissant un nombre important de participants, il est souvent fait appel à des sociétés spécialisées pour le ramassage des déchets. Ces entreprises doivent, entre autre, séparer les bouteilles de verre et les transporter jusqu'à des conteneurs publics destinés à les recevoir pour leur 20 recyclage et comportant généralement un orifice de remplissage nécessitant l'introduction des bouteilles une à une, ce qui entraîne un travail important de tri et de manutention. When drinks are distributed at outdoor events with a large number of participants, specialized companies are often called upon to collect waste. These companies must, among other things, separate the glass bottles and transport them to public containers intended to receive them for their recycling and generally comprising a filling orifice requiring the introduction of the bottles one by one, resulting in a important work of sorting and handling.

Le dispositif selon la présente invention a pour objectif de faciliter 25 ces opération. Il permet en effet de séparer immédiatement les bouteilles des autre déchets et d'introduire plusieurs d'entre elles à la fois dans le conteneur de récupération The device according to the present invention aims to facilitate these operations. It makes it possible to separate the bottles from the other waste immediately and to introduce several of them into the recovery container at the same time.

II est constitué d'un ensemble démontable formé de deux platines 30 enserrant des tubes transparents verticaux ouverts à leur partie supérieure de façon à permettre l'introduction de bouteilles, le diamètre de ces tubes étant déterminé pour maintenir les bouteilles debout et pour pouvoir être introduits dans l'ouverture de remplissage des conteneurs publics de récupération. -2- Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif d'une forme de réalisation conforme à la présente demande la figure 1 représente en perspective axonométrique les tubes et les platines assembles, la figure 2 est une vue agrandie d'un tube contenant plusieurs bouteilles vides et la figure 3 montre dans les mêmes conditions un tube vide équipé d'un bloc de mosse amortisseur et d'une collerette empêchant les bouteilles de ressortir. It consists of a removable assembly formed of two plates 30 enclosing vertical transparent tubes open at their upper part so as to allow the introduction of bottles, the diameter of these tubes being determined to hold the bottles upright and to be introduced in the filling opening of the public containers of recovery. In the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting example of an embodiment according to the present application, FIG. 1 represents in axonometric perspective the assembled tubes and plates, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of FIG. a tube containing several empty bottles and FIG. 3 shows under the same conditions an empty tube equipped with a damping boulder block and a collar preventing the bottles from standing out.

Le dispositif, figures 1 à 3, est constitué d'une série de tubes 1 verticaux enserrés entre une platine supérieure 2 et une platine inférieure 3. The device, FIGS. 1 to 3, consists of a series of vertical tubes 1 sandwiched between an upper plate 2 and a lower plate 3.

Les tubes 1 sont réalisés dans une matière plastique transparente 15 telle que le polyrnétacryiate de méthyle ("Aituglas") et sont ouverts en haut pour recevoir les bouteilles à jeter et comportent en partie basse bassse un fond pourvu d'un perçage 4 assurant l'évacuation des liquides résiduels. Les dimensions de chaque tube 1 sont calculées pour lui permettre de contenir plusieurs bouteilles 5 en les maintenant debout et pour pouvoir 20 l'introduire aisément dans les conteneurs de recyclage afin de vider l'ensemble de son contenu en une seule opération. Le fond du tube sera avantageusement pourvu d'un bloc de mousse 6 perméable destinée à amortir la chute de la première bouteille 5 introduite. La partie haute du tube pourra éventuellement comporter une 25 colerette 7 élastique avec diamètre réduit pour empêcher les bouteilles de ressortir. The tubes 1 are made of a transparent plastic material 15 such as polymethylmethacrylate ("Aituglas") and are open at the top to receive the disposable bottles and comprise in the lower part a bottom bottom provided with a bore 4 ensuring the evacuation of residual liquids. The dimensions of each tube 1 are calculated to allow it to hold several bottles 5 while keeping them upright and to be able to easily introduce it into the recycling containers in order to empty all of its contents in a single operation. The bottom of the tube will advantageously be provided with a block of permeable foam 6 for damping the fall of the first bottle 5 introduced. The upper portion of the tube may optionally include a resilient flange 7 with reduced diameter to prevent bottles from emerging.

Les platines supérieures 2 et inférieures 3 comportent sur leur face interne des emplacements creux agencés pour recevoir et maintenir les extrémités respectivement hautes et basses des tubes 1. Les deux platines sont assemblées 30 au moyen d'une tige filetée 8 centrale et d'un écrou 9 permettant un démontage aisé pour le vidage des tubes ou le transport du dispositif. La platine supérieur 2 est pourvues d'ouvertures 10 d'un diamètre sensiblement égal au diamètre interne des tubes 1 afin de permettre l'introduction 10 des bouteilles dans ces derniers. La platine inférieure 3 comporte des perçage correspondant à ceux des tubes pour écouler les liquides. Elle pourra être équipée de roulette ou de pieds, éventuellement du type s enfonçant dans le sol pour l'utilisation du dispositif en plein air. The upper plates 2 and lower 3 have on their inner face hollow locations arranged to receive and maintain the respectively high and low ends of the tubes 1. The two plates are assembled 30 by means of a central threaded rod 8 and a nut 9 allowing easy disassembly for emptying the tubes or transporting the device. The upper plate 2 is provided with openings 10 of a diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the tubes 1 in order to allow the introduction of the bottles therein. The bottom plate 3 has holes corresponding to those of the tubes for flowing liquids. It may be equipped with wheels or feet, possibly of the type s digging into the ground for the use of the device in the open air.

Le positionnement des divers éléments constitutifs donne à l'objet de l'invention un maximum d'effets utiles qui n'avaient pas été, à ce jour, obtenus par des dispositifs similaires The positioning of the various constituent elements gives to the object of the invention a maximum of useful effects that had not been, so far, obtained by similar devices
