Girlahoma City, Okla. Filed June 10, 1960,,Ser. N0..35,254. 7" Claims. (Cl; 34-80) Thi'sinvention relates to 'a novel and improved storage vault for Waste material, especially garbage, having automat1c aerating and deodorizing means.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of an efliciennsanitary, conveniently used device of the kind indicated wherein garbage containers placed therein are protectively enclosed against the weather and against access thereto of animals andinsects, and are readily reached and removed by garbage collectors, and wherein air circulating means provides a forced circulation of outside air within the vault and across the garbage containers so as to maintain the containers and their contents in a dr ycondition; and deodorizingmeans'provides trapping and'neutralizing of the odors generated within the vault, the device being especially suited to use by hotels and other establishments having a relatively large production of waste material.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character indicated above which has a counterweighted lid or cover, affording reliable and complete closure of the vault and easy access thereto for placement and removal of garbage containers.
A further object of the invention is to provide, in a device of the character indicated above, novel air filtering and deodorizing means which involves a filter pad, to which water containingdeodorant-is automatically fed, and through which air is automatically drawn from the vault and deodorized into the outside air in a clean and deodorized condition.
Other important objects and advantageous features of the invention: will be apparent from the following description and the accompanying drawings, wherein, for
line 3-3 ofFIGURE 2, showing the lid or cover in' closed position; and' FIGURE .4 is a vertical transverse section taken on the line 44=of.FlGURE 2, the cover or lid being in open position.
Referringin detail to the drawings, wherein like numerals designate like parts throughout the several views, the illustrated device comprises a longitudinally elongated generally rectangular, open-top, open front casing 10, preferably made up of sheet metal and angle irons. The casingxlt) comprises a flat bottom wall 12, a perpendicular rear wall 14, and perpendicular end walls 18 and 20.
The Walls arejoined together and braced by horizontal angleirons 22 and'vertical angle irons 24', and forwardly declining angle irons 25 are secured on and extend along the upper edges of the end walls 18 and 20. The vertical angle irons 24, atthe corners of; the casing 10, are extended downwardly below the bottom wall 12, and have lateral flanges 26.on their lower ends, through which are threaded vertically adjustable, ground-engaging levelling bolts 28, so thatthecasing 10 canbe supported in a level position on a surface and with'anoutside air spacebetween such'surfaceand thebottom of the casing.
The casing 10 is provided with a sectional lid or'cover 30 which is composed of a-flat closure section 32, slightly larger in area than the open top of the casing, and a hat normally pendant section 34 for covering the open front of the casing. The closure section 32 is suitably hinged, along its elevated rear edge 36', to the'upper edge of the casing rear wall 14, as indicated at- 38', and the pendant section 34 is suitably hinged, along its upper edge 40, and at the innersidethereof, as-indicated at 42, to the underside ofthe closure section 32, along a line spacedinwardly from the depressed forward edge 44 of the latter, so that a protective eave 46. is defined, which extends forwardly beyond the joint between the sections, as shown in FIGURE 3.
Fixed, asindicated at 48, upon the closure section 32 at the ends thereof and reaching rearwardly beyond its rear edge 36, are generally horizontal weights 56), which counterbalance the pendant section 34, and facilitate opening of the cover, from a closed position, in conjunction with the counterweighting effect of a counterweight 52.
The counterweight 52 is. preferably in the form of a vertically elongated weighty body 54 which has a cable 56 suitably connected, at one end, to its upper end, and which is connected, at its other end, as indicated at 58, to the closure section 32 of the lid 34), at a location midway between its end and near its forward edge 44. The counterweight body 54 is slidably confined within a. vertical guide pipe 60 which is fixed, by vertically spaced brackets 62, to the rear side of the rear casing wall 14, andextends thereabove. The, guide pipe 60 has an open upper end 64', whereat a pulley 66 is provided, over which the cable 56 is trained into the pipe. The cover 30 can be-operated without the counterweight 52, but operates more smoothly therewith.
The right-hand or second end wall 20 of the casing 10 is formed with an outside air inlet opening 68 which is located at the lower for-Ward corner thereof, and is covered by a screen 70. The casing rear wall 14 is provided, in the upper corner thereof, adjacent to the first or left-hand end wall 18, with an air outlet or discharge opening 72, around which is suitably fixed to the inner or forward side'of the. rear wall 14, an electric fan. frame; 74, in which is centrally mounted a motor 76 having a horizontal axis fan 78, facing the opening 72, the blades of the fan 78 being pitched to pull air through the casing from the inlet opening 68 to and force the air out through the outlet or discharge opening. 72. Suitable electric connections and switching means for the fan motor 76 (not shown.) are provided for substantially continuously operating thefan 78while the vault is in use. With a row of'spaced garbage containers or cans 82 resting upon the casing bottom wall 12, between and spaced from the wall 38;
casing end walls. 18, .20, operation of the fan 78 pulls outside air through the inlet opening 63, so that the air circulates around and betweenand over the cans, and the. contents thereof, and finally reaches and passes out through the. discharge opening 72, so that odor producing and other: noxious. matter and excess moistureentrained in the air iscarried out of the casing, instead of accumulating in the. casing.
For clearing, cleaning, and. de-odorizing. the air discharged through the opening 72, there is suitably mounted on the exterior of the rear casing wall 14, around the discharge opening 72,, a rectangular pan-shaped housing-84having a sidewall 86, an abbreviated bottom wall 88, and an internal flange 90,, spaced from the. bottom The housing 84 is larger in area than the discharge. opening 72 and extends therebelow, as is a rectangular filtering andideodorizingpad92, which is supported between the housing bottom wall SS'and the flange 99; and extends acrossthe opening '72. The major area of the housing bottom wall 88 is occupied by a circular outlet opening 94, around which is suitably secured the forward end of an elbow 6 on the lower end of an upstanding perpendicular flue pipe 98. The flue pipe 98 has an open upper end 100, which is disposed above the casing 19, and has a conical cap supported thereon.
Liquid cleansing and deodorizing solution is fed to the housing 84 by a pipe or hose 104, leading through the top of the housing 84 and discharging onto the pad 92 from a suitable driven pump 106 which is located within a tank 198 which is mounted on the casing rear wall 14. A return pipe or hose 1G9 leads from the bottom of the housing 84 to the tank 108. Supported on the casing rear wall, above the tank 108, is a solution reservoir 110, having a filling cap 112, which has gravity communication with the tank 108 by means of a pipe 114 leading into the tank through a float-controlled valve 116, whereby a predetermined level of solution is maintained in the tank 168. The pump 106 is adapted to be substantially continuously operated during use of the vault, so that the pad 92 can continuously operate to clean and deodorize air passed therethrough.
As shown in FIGURE 3, the pendant section 34 of the casing cover or lid 30 preferably extends to the bottom of the front of the casing 10, in the closed position of the cover, and the pendant section 34 is provided, at its lower end, with one or more external handles 113. For moving the cover to its open position, the handle 118 is grasped and pulled upwardly and then pushed rearwardly, so that the closure section assumes the acutely angled or perpendicular vertical position, shown in FIGURE 4, with the pendant section 34 depending in perpendicular position. In these positions of the cover sections, the weights 50 are out of position to exert their full cover depressing force, so that the weight of the counterweight 54 is sutlicient to hold the cover in its open position, so as to afford free and unemcumbered access to the interior of the casing 10. Pulling the handle 118 forwardly and downwardly restores the cover to its closed position.
While there has been shown and described herein a preferred form of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not necessarily confined thereto,
