Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0348874A1] In a cuboid container which is preferably suitable for receiving refuse and which has an orifice located on one end face, preferably serving for introducing the refuse and closable by means of a flap or lid, it will be possible to move this lid between an opening and a closing position with only a small amount of space required. For this, articulated on the lateral edges of the lid (4) are the outer ends of parallel links (5', 6'), the inner ends of which are mounted on bolts (8, 11) or pins connected to the container side walls (7), and an actuating device for pivoting the lid (4) between its closing position and opening position and a lock for locking the lid (4) in the closing position are provided. The lid is guided by the parallel links at four points, so that, in its closing position with appropriate locking, it can advantageously absorb high forces exerted on it from inside by the filling material. There is no possibility that the container lid will open automatically, for example as a result of forces acting on it during braking and acceleration while the container is being transported. <IMAGE>
