AT526166A2 - Fly + maggot protection attachment with sliding lid function and all-round milling groove - for organic/waste bins - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a closure solution for organic waste bins during filling until emptying, whereby the "fly and maggot protection attachment with sliding function and circumferential milling groove" differs from conventional lids due to its type and design using a sliding lid and circumferential milling groove. Opening and closing works exclusively by pulling and pushing. The precise fit of the protective attachment on the organic waste bin is achieved by the circumferential milling groove.

Description

It's actually the same thing over and over again! When you take out the Bjomüll or residual waste, you get really sick when you notice the smell when you open the bin, but above all you notice the heavy infestation of maggots. This most often occurs on warm or hot days. Basically, the problem is that flies are attracted to the smell and actually get into the bin very easily thanks to the poorly designed lid. Since other organic waste/garbage can owners have a similar situation, I came up with a simple but above all very functional solution to the problem.

The invention relates to a “fly and maggot protection attachment with a sliding lid function and a circumferential milling groove” for organic/waste bins,

As a current state of the art, I know that organic waste or residual waste bins all have a normal lid made of plastic, which, due to its design, quickly deforms due to wear and tear and, due to its low weight, sits very poorly on the edge of the bin and is therefore not complete. completes. There is a lid with a rubber seal specifically for organic waste bins. I have been using this for about 12 years, but it is the same here too. The seal seals poorly and flies get into the bin easily. So this lid doesn't solve the problem either!

I am of the opinion that you have to avoid flies being attracted to the smell and getting into the organic waste bin and thus causing maggot infestation!

My invention is a secure closure option for garbage cans, which is simply designed, but is as tight as possible and absolutely functional! To date, I am not aware of any such secure solution. Furthermore, I am sure that a locking option of this type and design has never been used before.

Thanks to my very simple invention, odor formation due to tightness and lack of oxygen is avoided as much as possible. and thus prevents flies and maggot infestation! Even if flies are attracted, you will NOT be able to get into the closed bin as it is tightly sealed by the sliding lid function. As long as care is taken to ensure that no fly flies into the bin when opening and closing it and that no organic waste previously infested with fly larvae is thrown into the bin 11!

This is a protective attachment that is NOT intended to replace the original hinged lid of the organic waste bin itself.

This protective attachment is intended for use during use and filling until emptying the organic waste bin, so that odor development and maggot infestation are prevented from the start.

1.) After the organic/garbage bin has been emptied and washed, the original hinged lid of the bin is fully opened and therefore no longer has a locking function,

2.) Then the closed “fly and maggot protection attachment” is placed on the frame of the organic waste bin with the milling groove side facing down and pressed firmly so that the attachment seals tightly!

4.} If the organic/garbage bin is full and needs to be emptied by the garbage disposal, the “fly and maggot protection cap” is removed from the organic/garbage bin on the day of collection and the original hinged lid of the bin is closed, between removing the protective cap and the Collection by the garbage collector only takes a few hours. During this period there can be no, at most minimal, maggot infestation or odor development!

Figure 1: shows the protective attachment as a whole from the top, with the attachment housing 1_and the sliding cover! 2 in the closed state, the sliding cover 2 is opened and closed by pulling and pushing in the top housing 1. Precise closing of the sliding cover 2 is achieved by a milled rebate groove in the top housing 2,

Claims (1)

The “fly and maggot protection attachment with sliding function and circumferential milling groove” is characterized by the fact that the closed design ensures that the bin is sealed tightly using the sliding function of the sliding lid. Furthermore, the circumferential milling groove on the underside of the protective attachment ensures a precise and tight seal between the protective attachment and the organic waste bin. It is therefore no longer possible for flies to get into the organic waste bin when the sliding lid is closed. This prevents the development of odors and the resulting maggot infestation! H Unfortunately, the original hinged lid of the organic waste bin is not able to do this because, as already mentioned, it deforms due to wear and tear and the effects of the weather. Due to the light material, it leaks and therefore closes inaccurately! Flies get into the bin so easily. Furthermore, the original hinged lid has little resistance to gusts of wind due to its low weight and is therefore occasionally opened unintentionally. Before you notice, you have an odor and subsequent maggot infestation! The “fly and maggot protection attachment with sliding cover function and all-round milling groove” has been tested several times from filling to emptying, under strong weather conditions such as sunshine, heat and also in rain (emptying interval 1 month). None of these influences resulted in strong odors or maggot infestation! If possible, a shady place should be chosen for the location of an organic waste bin anyway!
