【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a newspaper and magazine collecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the collecting device. Is.

In the figure, 1 is a collection box, which comprises a front plate 2, a back plate 3, a right side plate 4, an opening / closing plate 5 as a left side plate 5, a bottom plate 6 and a mountain-shaped top plate 7. It is assembled or molded using wooden boards or metal plates.

Further, a lock member 8 for holding the closing of the opening / closing plate 5 and a hinge member 9 for supporting the opening / closing plate 5 in an openable / closable manner are attached at predetermined opening / closing facing portions of the opening / closing plate 5 and the front plate 2. Has been.

A collection container 10 for collecting newspapers and magazines is installed on the bottom plate 6 in the collection box 1. The collection container 10 is opened by opening the opening / closing plate 5 to open It can be moved in and out of the storage box 1.

On the other hand, as described above, the top plate 7 is formed in an inclined shape so as to project upward in a mountain shape, and one or both of the inclined surfaces 7a and 7b are folded newspapers or magazines. A rectangular insertion port 11 into which is inserted is formed.

The inlet 11 is formed as a horizontally long hole having an opening length of, for example, 342 mm and an opening width of 50 mm, as in the conventional case.

On the inclined surfaces 7a and 7b in the vicinity of the inlet 11, characters 12 are displayed by printing or the like to indicate that the collection device is for newspapers and magazines.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a guide cover horizontally provided so as to cover the upper portion and the side surface portion of the charging port 11.

As shown in FIG. 3, the guide cover 15 includes an upper plate 15a and side plates 15b connected to both ends of the upper plate 15a.

At the lower end of each of the side plates 15b, an inclined fixed width mounting piece that supports the upper plate 15a and the side plates 15b so as to extend horizontally from the inclined surfaces 7a and 7b of the top plate 7 is provided. The bent portion 15c is formed.

The attachment piece 15c is bent and formed inward with respect to each of the side plates 15b, and is fixed to the inclined surfaces 7a and 7b in the vicinity of the input port 11 by a fastener such as a screw or by welding. It is designed to get a good design.

Further, the guide cover 15 may be shaped so as to cover not only the upper and side portions of the insertion port 11 but also the lower portion, if necessary.

Further, the horizontal projecting lengths of the upper plate 15a and the side plate 15b are set to be long enough so that wind and rain do not directly enter the input port 11, and are not longer stable than empty bottles and empty cans. It is desirable that the length is such that the article cannot be inserted into the inlet 11.

The shape and size of the inlet 11 can be basically the same as that shown in FIG. 6 of the related art, but in the present invention, it is horizontally guided to the lower part of the guide cover 15. In order to be able to insert a magazine or the like, it is preferable that the opening edge surface of the insertion port 11 is substantially horizontal and vertical.

Therefore, in the recovery container having such a configuration, if the guide cover 15 is close to or slightly longer than the length of an empty bottle or the like, the empty bottle or the like is removed from the guide cover 15. Even if the empty bottle is inserted into the loading port 11 from below, the empty bottle will not reach the loading port 11 or will be in a state close to the loading port 11, so this empty bin is prevented from being loaded into the collection box, and storage for other cans and bins is avoided.

The newspapers and magazines are smoothly stored and collected in the storage container 10 in the storage box 1.

Further, if the shape is not substantially stable, for example, a piece of paper, a vinyl sheet, a vinyl bag, or the like, even if an attempt is made to insert them into the insertion port 11, the lower portion of the guide cover 15 is gravitationally deformed downward due to gravity. However, it cannot be easily inserted into the slender input port 11, and eventually it is urged to insert it into the collection box of the other dedicated collection device for dust.

As a result of the experiment, by dividing the input port 11 into a rectangular shape and providing the guide cover, the division accuracy of newspapers and magazines became about 95%.

As a result, the sorting work in the recycling plant was improved, and the work was shortened.

Further, since the guide cover 15 covers the upper part of the input port 11 sufficiently, it is possible to prevent rain from directly entering the recovery container 10 through the input port 11, and thus the recovery container 10 can be prevented. The advantage is that the newspapers and magazines within 10 can be prevented from getting wet or contaminated with rain.

In the above embodiment, the recovery box using the top plate 7 having the inclined surfaces 7a and 7b on both sides has been described, but a recovery box having an inclined surface only on one side of the top plate 7 may be used. The same effect as that of the above-described embodiment is obtained.
