Title:
SELF-EMPTYING CONTAINER AND METHOD FOR EMPTYING A CONTAINER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006032247
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a self-emptying bowl-shaped container (10a) which has sidewalls (20), two openings (41, 42), a bottom (11) rotatable with respect thereto, and a web (12) arranged above it which is mounted so as to be pivotable in relation to the bottom (11) and the sidewalls (20). Said web (12) is coupled with the bottom (11) in a nonpositive or positive fit, thereby entraining the web (12) to rotate with the bottom (11). The deflection of the web is limited by stops (23, 24) so that the web (12) can be pivoted between two stop positions by a defined angular degree only. In the one stop position, only the one opening, and in the other stop position, only the other opening is released so that objects present in the container (10) can leave the container (10a) only through the one or only through the other opening depending on the direction of rotation of the bottom (11). The bottom (11) is preferably configured with an elevated center so that objects present in the container (10a) leave the container by the force of gravity.
