Abstract (en)

A container is described (10) with a lid for collecting waste in which the aforementioned lid (6) is opened by moving a lever (1) connected to a rod (5) that moves vertically to rotate the lid (6) to which it is connected at one end, in which between the aforementioned lever (1) and the aforementioned rod (5) a pneumatic system is positioned (2, 12, 3, 8, 4, 9) that is supplied with pressure by the lever (1) and which pushes the aforementioned rod (5) to push it upwards, the aforementioned system comprises a flow-regulating valve (3) with differential action in both directions that is calibrated in such a way that the upward movement (S) of the rod (5) to open the lid (6) brought about by depressing the lever (1) occurs in less time than the downward movement (S) of the rod (5) that is pushed in the opposite direction by the weight of the lid (6) being closed again through the force of gravity. <IMAGE>
