Device for collecting refuse, as well as removal and transport means therefor

摘要

A device for collecting refuse, such as glass, paper, coarse refuse and the like, comprises a rigid refuse container (2) having an insert opening (14) in or near the upper wall which is closable by a closure means. The closure means of the insert opening of the refuse container (2) is provided with a revolving closure means rotatable about an axis and includes two semi cylindrical concentrically rotating elements (49, 50) connected through a reversing transmission so as to rotate in opposite directions. In a first rotational position the semi cylindrical elements form a receptacle allowing refuse to be placed on the inner rotating element (50) and, in a second rotational position, the elements (49, 50) are turned so as to allow the refuse to enter the container (2).
