Der kendes forskellige kompostbeholdere af denne type, for eksempel fra europæisk patentskrift nr. 94.094, tysk fremlæggelsesskrift nr. 1.657.005, tysk patentskrift nr. 2.007.755 samt US patentskrift nr. 4.105.412. Imidlertid er de kendte kompostbeholdere ufordelagtige, 15 idet deres konstruktion ikke gør det muligt at hindre indtrængning af skadedyr, som mus og rotter. De er endvidere ufordelagtige ved, at konstruktionen ikke hindre indtrængning af spyfluer, bananfluer og andre insekter, som er uønskede i kompostmassen.Various compost bins of this type are known, for example, from European Patent No. 94,094, German Patent Specification No. 1,657,005, German Patent No. 2,007,755, and U.S. Patent No. 4,105,412. However, the known compost bins are disadvantageous in that their construction does not prevent the entry of pests, such as mice and rats. Furthermore, they are disadvantageous in that the construction does not prevent the penetration of spear flies, banana flies and other insects which are undesirable in the compost pulp.
20 Det er formålet med den foreliggende opfindelse at afhjælpe ulemper ved de kendte kompostbeholdere ved at anvise en kompostbeholder, der har en omslutning, der gør det umuligt for skadedyr, som mus og rotter samt insekter at trænge ind i kompostbeholderens indre. Dette opnås ifølge den foreliggende opfindelse med en kompostbeholder af den ind-25 ledningsvis nævnte type, som er kendetegnet ved de i krav 1 angivne særpræg.It is the object of the present invention to remedy disadvantages of the known compost containers by providing a compost container having an enclosure which makes it impossible for pests such as mice and rats as well as insects to penetrate the compost bin interior. This is achieved according to the present invention with a compost container of the type mentioned in the introduction, which is characterized by the distinctive features of claim 1.
Idet beholderens ydre omslutning er fremstillet af metalplade, vil det være umuligt for mus eller rotter at gnave sig igennem omslutningen, 30 og da de største ventilationsåbninger i beholderen er dimensioneret, således at mus og rotter ikke kan trænge igennem åbningen, vil beholderens indre kunne holdes fri for mus og rotter. Da de store ventilationsåbninger udelukkende placeres i beholderens bund eller den nedre del af beholderens sider, vil det være muligt at placere disse ved 35 stillinger i beholderen, som ved normal drift vil være dækket af omdannet kompostjord. Dette bevirker, at spyfluer, bananfluer og andre insekter ikke søger at trænge ind i beholderens indre gennem disse åb- . ninger. Det har overraskende vist sig, at insekter ikke søger at trænge ind til det friske affald i kompostbeholderens indre, når de skal DK 168331 B1 2 passere et lag af kompostjord.Since the outer casing of the container is made of sheet metal, it will be impossible for mice or rats to gnaw through the casing, and since the largest ventilation openings in the container are sized so that mice and rats cannot penetrate through the opening, the interior of the container can be held. free of mice and rats. Since the large ventilation openings are placed exclusively in the bottom of the container or the lower part of the sides of the container, it will be possible to place these at 35 positions in the container, which in normal operation will be covered with transformed compost soil. This means that spear flies, banana flies and other insects do not seek to penetrate the interior of the container through these openings. costs. Surprisingly, it has been found that insects do not seek to penetrate the fresh waste into the interior of the compost bin when they need to pass a layer of compost soil.
Af hensyn til den nødvendige lufttilførsel og ventilation for kompostering, skal der anbringes ventilationsåbninger ved beholderens top.For the necessary air supply and ventilation for composting, ventilation openings should be placed at the top of the container.
5 Disse ventilationsåbninger vil således være placeret ud for frisk affald i beholderen eller ud for et mellemrum over det affald, som befinder sig i beholderen, og det vil derfor være den naturlige vej, hvor insekterne søger at trænge ind i beholderens indre. På grund af dimensioneringen af åbningerne ved beholderens top, kan insekterne ik-10 ke trænge ind gennem disse ventilationsåbninger.Thus, these ventilation openings will be located near fresh debris in the container or at a gap above the debris contained in the container, and therefore will be the natural pathway where the insects seek to penetrate the interior of the container. Because of the sizing of the openings at the top of the container, the insects cannot penetrate through these ventilation openings.
Hed beholderen ifølge opfindelsen kan man således forhindre indtrængning af såvel rotter og mus som indtrængning af insekter.Thus, the container according to the invention can prevent the entry of rats and mice as well as insect infestation.
15 Beholderen ifølge opfindelsen er fortrinsvis fremstillet af metalplade, der er korrosionsbeskyttet, som for eksempel varmgalvaniseret eller aluminiumsbelagt plade. Det foretrækkes at anvende aluzinkplade eller plastbelagt galvaniseret plade, idet man herved undgår, at kon-taminere kompostmassen med tungmetaller, som for eksempel bly og cad-20 mium, som ellers ville kunne afgives fra et korrosionsbeskyttende lag.The container according to the invention is preferably made of sheet metal which is corrosion protected, such as hot-dip galvanized or aluminum-coated sheet. It is preferred to use aluzinc sheet or plastic coated galvanized sheet, thereby avoiding contaminating the compost pulp with heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, which could otherwise be emitted from a corrosion-protective layer.
Ventilationsåbningerne kan have en hvilken som helst form, idet de kan være runde, ovale eller mange kantede. Det skal blot sikres, at den mindste diameter for en af de store åbninger ikke overstiger 14 mm, og 25 i de tilfælde hvor de store ventilationsåbninger snarere kan betegnes sprækker, rektangulære huller, gæller og lignende, skal sprækkerne fortrinsvis have en maksimal bredde på 5 mm. For de små ventilationsåbninger vil den maksimale diameter for runde, ovale eller mangekantede åbninger være på ca. 2,5 mm, og såfremt der er tale om sprækker, 30 vil den maksimale bredde af sprækkerne ligeledes være ca. 2,5 mm.The vents may be of any shape, being round, oval, or many angular. It is only to be ensured that the minimum diameter of one of the large openings does not exceed 14 mm, and 25 in the cases where the large ventilation openings can rather be termed cracks, rectangular holes, gills and the like, the cracks should preferably have a maximum width of 5 mm. For the small ventilation openings, the maximum diameter for round, oval or polygonal openings will be approx. 2.5 mm, and in the case of cracks, the maximum width of the cracks will also be approx. 2.5 mm.
Da en kompostbeholder som oftest fyldes med en spand eller skovl, der kan støde mod oversiden, ligesom den tømmes via en åbning i den nedre del af beholderens side, er det hensigtsmæssigt at indfyldningsåbnin-35 gen i toppen samt tømmeåbningen ved bunden er dækket af slagfast materiale, som for eksempel profi 11 ister af plast eller gummi lister med en indstøbt metal forstærkning. Såfremt de enkelte dele, som benyttes ved kompostbeholderens fremstilling er profileret eller korrugeret, vil kompostbeholderen blive mere stabil og robust overfor slag og stød.As a compost bin is usually filled with a bucket or bucket that can bump against the top, as well as emptied via an opening in the lower part of the container, it is convenient that the top opening and the bottom drainage opening are covered with impact resistance. material such as plastic or rubber moldings 11 with a molded metal reinforcement. If the individual parts used in the production of the compost bin are profiled or corrugated, the compost bin will become more stable and robust to impact and impact.

En kompostbeholder ifølge opfindelsen kan være fremstillet med dobbelt sidevæg, hvor den ydre sidevæg er fremstillet af metalplade med de store ventilationsåbninger, og hvor den indre sidevæg er forsynet med de små ventilationsåbninger, i hvert fald ved den øvre del af inder-5 væggen. I denne udførelsesform vil der kunne placeres isolationsmateriale i mellemrummet, således at det i køligere omgivelser vil være muligt at opretholde et rimeligt temperaturniveau i kompostbeholderens indre til at mikroorganismernes aktivitet opretholdes, og komposteringen fortsat kan foregå. Såfremt der anvendes isoleringsmateriale, vil 10 dette fortrinsvis være et granulat af ekspanderet polystyren, da man herved sikrer, at vand frit kan fordampe ud fra kompostbeholderen, samtidig med at luft frit kan cirkulere gennem kompostbeholderen.A compost container according to the invention may be made with a double sidewall, the outer sidewall being made of metal plate with the large ventilation openings and the inner sidewall provided with the small ventilation openings, at least at the upper part of the inner wall. In this embodiment, insulating material may be placed in the gap so that in cooler environments it will be possible to maintain a reasonable temperature level in the interior of the compost bin to maintain the activity of the microorganisms and to continue composting. If insulating material is used, this will preferably be expanded polystyrene granules, thereby ensuring that water can freely evaporate out of the compost bin while allowing air to circulate freely through the compost bin.
Kompostbeholderens to sidevægge fastholdes i deres indbyrdes stilling 15 ved hjælp af afstandslister, der er fremstillet af et slagfast materiale, som for eksempel plast, træ eller jern. Således bliver kompostbeholderen stabil, samtidig med at kanterne omkring beholderens indfyld-ningsåbning i toppen bliver så robuste, at de ikke deformeres af skovle, spande eller lignende, som anvendes til at fylde materiale i kom-20 postbeholderen. Sådanne afstandslister kan samtidig dække sidevæggenes kanter, således at brugeren er beskyttet mod at skære sig på de skarpe pladekanter omkring beholderens indfyldningsåbning.The two side walls of the compost container are held in their mutual position 15 by means of spacers made of a impact-resistant material, such as plastic, wood or iron. Thus, the compost bin becomes stable while at the same time the edges around the top fill opening of the container become so robust that they are not deformed by buckets, buckets or the like used to fill material in the compost bin. Such spacers can simultaneously cover the edges of the sidewalls so that the user is protected from cutting on the sharp plate edges around the filling opening of the container.
Opfindelsen vil herefter blive forklaret nærmere under henvisning til 25 den medfølgende skematiske tegning, hvor fig. 1A-1F illustrerer en udførelsesform for en kompostbeholder samt enkeltelementer hertil, og fig. 2 et partielt snit gennem en dobbelt sidevæg i en kompostbe-30 holder ifølge opfindelse.The invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying schematic drawing, in which fig. 1A-1F illustrate an embodiment of a compost bin and individual elements thereof, and FIGS. 2 is a partial section through a double side wall of a compost container according to the invention.
Fig. 1A viser et perspektivisk billede af en kompostbeholder ifølge opfindelsen. Kompostbeholderen 1 udgøres af en sekskantet pyramide-stubformet, metallisk sidevæg 2, en bund 3 samt et låg 4. Sidevæggen 2 35 udgøres af to symmetriske halvdele 5. Disse er udløseligt forbundet med hinanden langs deres tilstødende kanter 6. I den viste udførelsesform er sidevæggens halvdele 5 indbyrdes forbundne ved hjælp af strimmelformede forbindelsesstykker 7, der for eksempel kan være fastgjort i udbøjede flige eller i påsatte tappe på sidevæggens halvdele. Side- DK 168331 B1 4 væggens to halvdele 5 kan alternativt være forbundet ved hjælp af en samleliste 8, der er forsynet med et spor 9, hvori ombukkede flige 10 optages, hvilke flige 10 er ombukket langs hvert kantområde af de to halvdele 5. Denne udførelsesform er illustreret i fig. ID. Alternativt 5 kan saml el ister 8 udgøres af en plastliste, der enten er ekstruderet med et spor, eller hvori et spor er tildannet. Et sådant spor kan have andre hensigtsmæssige udformninger end den viste. Det skal blot sikres, at fligene 10 fastholdes udløseligt i et sådan spor.FIG. Figure 1A shows a perspective view of a compost container according to the invention. The compost bin 1 consists of a hexagonal pyramid stub-shaped, metallic sidewall 2, a bottom 3, and a lid 4. The sidewall 2 35 is formed by two symmetrical halves 5. These are releasably interconnected along their adjacent edges 6. In the embodiment shown, the sidewall halves 5 are interconnected by means of strip-shaped connecting pieces 7, which may, for example, be fixed in bent tabs or in tabs on the halves of the sidewall. Alternatively, the two halves 5 of the wall may be connected by means of an assembly strip 8 provided with a groove 9 in which folded tabs 10 are received, which tabs are folded along each edge region of the two halves 5. This embodiment is illustrated in FIG. ID. Alternatively, collector electrics 8 may be constituted by a plastic strip either extruded with a groove or in which a groove is formed. Such a track may have other appropriate designs than the one shown. It is merely to be ensured that the tabs 10 are releasably retained in such a groove.
10 Sidevæggen 2 er ved sit øvre kantområde 11, der støder op til låget 4, forsynet med små ventilationsåbninger 12. I den viste udførelsesform udgøres ventilationsåbningerne 12 af rektangulære huller, der er udstanset i metalpladen, og som har en dimension på ca. 1,7 mm x 25 mm. Herved hindres fluer og andre insekter adgang til kompostbeholderen 15 l's indre. De små ventilationsåbninger 12 kan alternativt være runde, ovale, trekantede eller mangekantede. Det skal blot sikres, at diameteren for sådanne åbninger er mindre end 2,5 mm i diameter. De små ventilationsåbninger er anbragt i to rækker langs hele omkredsen og med indbyrdes afstand fra 2-10 mm. De kan alternativt være anbragt i 20 et større antal rækker.The side wall 2 is provided at its upper edge area 11 adjacent to the lid 4 with small ventilation openings 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the ventilation openings 12 are made up of rectangular holes punched in the metal plate and having a dimension of approx. 1.7 mm x 25 mm. This prevents flies and other insects from accessing the compost bin 15 l inside. The small ventilation openings 12 may alternatively be round, oval, triangular or multi-angled. It is merely necessary to ensure that the diameter of such openings is less than 2.5 mm in diameter. The small ventilation openings are arranged in two rows along the entire circumference and spaced from 2-10 mm. Alternatively, they may be arranged in a greater number of rows.
I fig. IB illustreres beholderens låg 4. Dette består af to symmetriske halvdele 13, som er indbyrdes forbundne ved hjælp af hængsler 14. Låget er i hver halvdel forsynet med et håndgreb 15. Låget 4 er bereg-25 net til at slutte tæt til sidevæggen, således at fluer og lignende ikke kan trænge ind i beholderen langs låget.In FIG. 1B, the lid of the container is illustrated. It consists of two symmetrical halves 13 which are interconnected by hinges 14. The lid is provided in each half with a handle 15. The lid 4 is intended to close close to the side wall, thus flies and the like cannot penetrate the container along the lid.
Sidevæggen 2 er ved sin øvre side forsynet med en beskyttelsesliste (ikke vist), der er fremstillet af slagfast materiale, og som beskyt-30 ter brugeren mod den skarpe pladekant.The side wall 2 is provided at its upper side with a protective strip (not shown) made of impact-resistant material and which protects the user against the sharp plate edge.
I fig. 1E illustreres beholderens bund 3. Denne består af to symmetriske halvdele 16. Hver halvdel 16 er forsynet med store ventilationsåbninger 17 (hvoraf kun en del er vist) over hele bunden. Disse er 35 dannet i form af cirkulære huller med en diameter på 9 mm og vil være anbragt i et antal på ca. 360 for en bundflade, der er lidt mindre end en kvadratmeter. Kompostbeholderens volumen vil være ca. 350 liter. De to halvdele 16's kantområde er ombukket dels opefter og dels nedefter.In FIG. 1E, the bottom of the container is illustrated. It consists of two symmetrical halves 16. Each half 16 is provided with large ventilation openings 17 (only one part of which is shown) over the entire bottom. These are formed in the form of circular holes having a diameter of 9 mm and will be arranged in a number of approx. 360 for a bottom surface that is slightly smaller than one square meter. The volume of the compost bin will be approx. 350 liters. The edge area of the two halves 16 is folded partly upwards and partly downwards.
De nedefter ombukkede dele 18 danner understøtningsben og sikrer dan- DK 168331 B1 5 nel sen af et mellemrum 19 mellem beholderens bundplade og et underlag. Dette sikrer luftens adgang via de store ventilationsåbninger 17 til beholderens indre. De opefter ombukkede dele 20 danner styr for korrekt placering af sidevæggen 2 på bunden 3. Bundens to halvdele 16 kan være 5 indbyrdes forbundne ved hjælp af skruer gennem to tilstødende ombukkede dele 18 eller ved hjælp af en saml el iste af den i fig. ID viste type. Idet bundens halvdele både har opefter og nedefter ombukkede kantområder sikres tillige en solid og stiv konstruktion.The downwardly folded portions 18 form support legs and secure the space of a gap 19 between the bottom plate of the container and a support. This ensures access to the air through the large ventilation openings 17 to the interior of the container. The upwardly folded portions 20 guide the correct placement of the side wall 2 on the bottom 3. The two halves 16 of the bottom may be 5 interconnected by means of screws through two adjacent folded portions 18 or by means of an assembly of the one shown in FIG. ID shown type. Since the bottom halves have both up and down curved edge areas, a solid and rigid construction is also ensured.
10 I fig. 1C og 1F illustreres mellemstykker 21 og 22 henholdsvis for sidevæg og bund. Der eksisterer tilsvarende mellemstykker (ikke vist) for låget. Ved indskydelse af mellemstykkerne 21 og 22 mellem de symmetriske halvdele for bund, låg og sidevægge kan kompostbeholderens kapacitet således forøges.10 In FIG. 1C and 1F illustrate spacers 21 and 22 for sidewall and bottom respectively. Corresponding spacers (not shown) exist for the lid. Thus, by inserting the spacers 21 and 22 between the symmetrical halves for bottom, lid and side walls, the capacity of the compost bin can be increased.

Samtlige enkeltdele for kompostbeholderen er fremstillet af aluzink-plade, da denne ikke giver risiko for kontaminering af kompostmassen med tungmetaller, således som det kan være tilfældet med galvaniseret plade. Imidlertid kan andre vejr- og korrosionsbestandige metalplader 20 anvendes.All of the individual parts of the compost bin are made of aluzinc plate, as this does not present a risk of contamination of the compost pulp with heavy metals, as may be the case with galvanized plate. However, other weather and corrosion resistant metal sheets 20 can be used.
En kompostbeholder kan fremstilles med en dobbeltvægget konstruktion, som muliggør en isolering mellem yder- og indervæg. Dette er ønskeligt i kølige omgivelser. Det skal blot sikres, at beholderens ydre omslut-25 ning er af metal for at hindre mus og rotter i at trænge ind i kompostbeholderens indre.A compost bin can be made with a double-walled construction that allows insulation between the outer and inner walls. This is desirable in cool surroundings. Just make sure that the outer casing of the container is metal to prevent mice and rats from entering the interior of the compost bin.
I fig. 2 illustreres et partielt lodret snit gennem en dobbeltvægget konstruktion. 23 betegner en ydervæg med store ventilationsåbninger 24 30 ved den nedre del. Størrelsen af de store ventilationsåbninger vil være afhængig af partikelstørrelsen for det anvendte granulat. 25 betegner en indervæg, der er forsynet med små ventilationsåbninger 26 over hele sin højde. Det mellemrum 27, som er dannet mellem de to vægge, er fyldt med et granulat 28 af ekspanderet polystyren. Ved bunden og top-35 pen er der anbragt slagfaste afstandslister 29, som fastholder de to vægge i deres indbyrdes stilling. Afstandslisterne 29 har spor 30, hvori væggenes kantområde er fastholdt. Brugeren vil således være beskyttet mod de skarpe pladekanter.In FIG. Figure 2 illustrates a partial vertical section through a double-walled construction. 23 represents an outer wall with large ventilation openings 24 30 at the lower part. The size of the large vents will depend on the particle size of the granules used. 25 denotes an inner wall provided with small vents 26 throughout its height. The gap 27 formed between the two walls is filled with expanded polystyrene granule 28. At the bottom and the top-35 pen are provided impact-resistant spacers 29 which hold the two walls in their mutual position. The spacers 29 have grooves 30 in which the edge region of the walls is retained. Thus, the user will be protected from the sharp plate edges.

En kompostbeholder kan have andre former end den viste, for eksempel rund, oval, firkantet. Beholderen kan have en tilspidsende form eller have lige stort tværsnit over hele sin højde. Det er også muligt at anvende korrugerede plader i stedet for de viste rette plader. Herved 5 kan beholderens stivhed og styrke forøges.A compost bin may have shapes other than those shown, for example, round, oval, square. The container may have a tapered shape or be of equal cross-section throughout its height. It is also possible to use corrugated sheets instead of the straight sheets shown. Hereby the stiffness and strength of the container can be increased.
