DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This invention relates to a container for rubbish particularly suited for both domestic and industrial use.
The common type of rubbish container for domestic rubbish disposal is of extremely simple and basic design to minimise manufacturing costs and hence retain cost in order to make the purchase of such containers attractive to the general public. Such types of containers have been found deficient for many reasons and in recent times there is a growing trend amongst City and Shire Councils alike to supply a modular mobile bin to facilitate rubbish collection. Such mobile bins are of a larger volume than the common types of rubbish containers and hence have found wide appeal amongst the general public since they are completely sealed from the exterior when the lid of the bin is closed, reducing problems such as fly infestation and reducing the level of malodour exuding from the bin. Unfortunately, however, this type of bin cannot handle wet garbage as the liquid in the bin is recycled. Thus, in the warmer months of the year, the bin is exposed to relatively high external temperatures causing the temperature of the contents of the bin to elevate, increasing the propensity of the rubbish to decompose and thus creating a malodorus and humid condition within the bin. Accordingly, when the lid of the bin is opened, the user of the bin may be presented with a highly obnoxious malodour which is much more concentrated than is generally the case with common types of rubbish containers and also can be blast by the malodorous air due to its elevated temperature and pressure within the bin. The user is thus left with the choice of carrying on using the bin as described above or trying to enclose the rubbish in plastic bags or the like creating environmental problems at the tip, (biodegradability of plastic is poor).
It is an object of the present invention to provide a container for rubbish which overcomes substantially all of the aforementioned problems associated with common types of rubbish containers and mobile bins for the collection and removal of rubbish.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided a container for rubbish comprising: discharged therethrough; lower confines of said compartment; the outside of said container; and
Preferably, said outlet is integrally formed with said closure and said inlet is integrally formed with said compartment.
Preferably, said inlet comprises an inlet passageway defined by a cavity interposed between inner and outer walls of said compartment, said inlet passageway having an entry port provided in said outer wall to allow the ingress of air into said cavity and an outlet port disposed circumferentially around the interior of said compartment proximate to the base of said compartment to allow the egress of air into said compartment, whereby said inner and outer walls and said cavity insulate said compartment.
Preferably said inlet passageway is involuted, whereby said entry port is disposed towards the bottom of said compartment and said inlet passageway extends initially circumferentially from said entry port upwardly towards the top of said compartment to be defined by an outer cavity and subsequently involutes to extend circumferentially from said top towards the base of said compartment to be defined by an inner cavity, whereby said inner and outer walls and said inner and outer cavities doubly insulate said compartment.
Preferably said outlet comprises an outlet passageway defined by a cavity interposed between inner and outer walls of said closure, said outlet passageway having an entry port provided in said inner wall to allow the ingress of air from said compartment into said cavity, and an outlet port disposed circumferentially around the exterior of said closure and being cowled to allow the egress of air from said outlet passageway, whereby said inner and outer walls of said closure insulate the top of said compartment.
The invention will be better understood in the light of the following description of two specific embodiments thereof
