Abstract

Un dispositif d'ouverture (1) pour le couvercle d'une poubelle (2) dont l'espace de chargement s'étend depuis un fond (4) jusqu'à une partie supérieure ouverte (5), entre une paroi antérieure (6) et une paroi postérieure (7) placées longitudinalement l'une par rapport à l'autre. Lesdites parois (6, 7) sont raccordées entre elles par des parois latérales opposées (8). Un axe (11) s'étendant transversalement est placé contre l'arrière du fond afin de soutenir deux roues (13, 14) séparées placées axialement l'une par rapport à l'autre, destinées à faciliter le mouvement de la poubelle. Un couvercle (15) peut être déplacé entre une position fermée et une position ouverte par rapport à la partie supérieure ouverte, ledit couvercle comportant des charnières placées le long d'un axe transversal (19) contre l'arrière de la partie supérieure (5). Le dispositif d'ouverture (1) comprend une manivelle manoeuvrée au pied (21) montée de manière rotative sur l'axe (7) de la poubelle (2) et pouvant être déplacée entre une position relevée et une position abaissée. Un ensemble de levage composé d'un premier bras (23) et d'un deuxième bras (24) reliés entre eux s'étend entre la manivelle (21) et le couvercle (15), et permet de soulever le couvercle en position ouverte lorsque la manivelle (21) est placée en position abaissée.
