    Le bord extrême 11 comporte de part et d'autre des oeillets 21 un lien élastique 26 en forme de boucle constituant des anses pour l'accrochage et le maintien de l'élément couvrant 1 sur la paroi de la benne ou du conteneur se trouvant à l'opposé de la porte 4, lorsque la bâche ou le filet ou le tissu 2 est positionné(e) sur la benne ou le conteneur 3.The extreme edge 11 has on both sides of the eyelets 21 an elastic link 26 in the form of a loop constituting handles for hooking and maintaining the covering element 1 on the wall of the bucket or container located at the opposite of door 4, when the tarpaulin or net or fabric 2 is positioned on the bucket or container 3.

    L'autre bord extrême 12 de l'élément couvrant 1 comporte à chaque extrémité un lien élastique 27 en forme de boucle constituant des anses pour l'accrochage de la bâche ou du filet ou du tissu 2 sur la benne ou le conteneur 3.The other extreme edge 12 of the covering element 1 has at each end a elastic link 27 in the form of a loop constituting handles for the attachment of tarpaulin or net or fabric 2 on the bucket or container 3.

    L'élément couvrant 1 comporte au niveau de ses bords extrêmes 11 et 12 des zones de repérage 28, 29 permettant de différencier le dessus et le dessous de la bâche ou du filet ou du tissu 2 avant sa mise en place sur la benne ou le conteneur 3, connu en soi.The covering element 1 has, at its extreme edges 11 and 12, marking zones 28, 29 making it possible to differentiate the top and the bottom of the tarpaulin or net or fabric 2 before placing it on the bucket or container 3, known per se.

    Les zones de repérage 28, 29 sont réalisées dans une matière différente de celle utilisée pour la partie principale de l'élément couvrant 1. Les zones de repérage 28, 29 sont cousues ou collées, en fonction de la matière utilisée pour l'élément couvrant, uniquement sur une seule face de l'élément couvrant.The marking zones 28, 29 are made of a material different from that used for the main part of the covering element 1. The marking zones 28, 29 are sewn or glued, depending on the material used for the element covering, only on one side of the covering element.

    Les zones de repérage 28, 29 peuvent présenter un profil et une surface de forme quelconque permettant de visualiser la face externe de l'élément couvrant 1, c'est à dire, celle qui est opposée à celle recevant les bords 9 et 10 en position pliée et rabattue avant la mise en place de la bâche ou du filet ou du tissu 2 sur la benne ou le conteneur 3, connu en soi. The marking zones 28, 29 may have a profile and a shaped surface any one allowing to visualize the external face of the covering element 1, it is that is, the one opposite the one receiving the edges 9 and 10 in the folded position and folded down before placing the tarp or net or fabric 2 on the bucket or the container 3, known per se.

    En figure 3, on a montré une variante de l'élément couvrant 1 qui comporte à l'intérieur de son fourreau 24 prévu au niveau de son bord extrême 11 des moyens de traction qui sont constitués d'un tube 30 permettant le pliage de la bâche ou du filet ou du tissu 2 le long de son axe longitudinal, afin que les bords 9, 10 de plus grande longueur se trouve l'un au dessus de l'autre.In FIG. 3, a variant of the covering element 1 has been shown which comprises the inside of its sheath 24 provided at its extreme edge 11 of traction means which consist of a tube 30 allowing the folding of the tarpaulin or net or fabric 2 along its longitudinal axis, so that the edges 9, 10 of greater length is one above the other.

    Le tube 30 comporte sur sa longueur au moins une liaison souple 31 permettant de suivre le nombre de pliage de l'élément couvrant 1 le long de son axe longitudinal. La liaison souple 31 peut être constituée par un manchon en caoutchouc 32 ou tout autre élément souple permettant de raccorder ensemble chaque partie rigide du tube 30 afin de former à l'intérieur du fourreau 24 un tube 30 continu sur toute la longueur du bord extrême 11.The tube 30 has along its length at least one flexible connection 31 allowing to follow the number of folding of the covering element 1 along its axis longitudinal. The flexible connection 31 can be constituted by a sleeve made of rubber 32 or any other flexible element allowing connection together each rigid part of the tube 30 in order to form inside the sheath 24 a tube 30 continuous over the entire length of the extreme edge 11.

    De manière avantageuse le tube 30 est constitué de deux parties rigides de dimension identique réunies l'une à l'autre par un manchon souple 31 disposé au milieu dudit tube afin de permettre un pliage de l'élément couvrant 2 au niveau de l'axe longitudinal.Advantageously, the tube 30 consists of two rigid parts of identical dimension joined to each other by a flexible sleeve 31 disposed at middle of said tube in order to allow folding of the covering element 2 at the level of the longitudinal axis.

    Une autre variante consisterait à prévoir un moyen de traction comportant un tube 23 qui est constitué d'au moins deux manchons 33 libres l'un par rapport à l'autre et formant une liaison souple pour le pliage de l'élément couvrant 1.Another variant would be to provide a traction means comprising a tube 23 which consists of at least two sleeves 33 which are free relative to each other and forming a flexible connection for folding the covering element 1.

    Une troisième variante de l'élément couvrant 1 consisterait à placer dans un autre fourreau ménagé au niveau du bord 12 opposé et parallèle à celui 11 un autre tube 23 ou 30. Cette variante permet de réaliser un élément couvrant 1 qui est symétrique et qui peut être accroché sur la benne ou le conteneur 3 avant sa mise en place définitive soit par les liens élastiques 26, soit par les liens élastiques 27.A third variant of the covering element 1 would consist in placing in another sheath formed at the edge 12 opposite and parallel to that 11 another tube 23 or 30. This variant makes it possible to produce a covering element 1 which is symmetrical and which can be hung on the bucket or container 3 before putting it in place either by the elastic links 26, or by the elastic links 27.

    En figures 1 et 5, on a illustré l'accrochage au niveau de la porte 4 de l'élément couvrant 1 afin de se trouver dans le prolongement de la benne ou du conteneur 3 et avant le recouvrement de ce dernier par la bâche ou le filet ou le tissu 2.In Figures 1 and 5, there is illustrated the attachment at the door 4 of the element covering 1 in order to be in line with the bucket or container 3 and before the covering of the latter by the tarpaulin or the net or the fabric 2.

    Dans cette position, on note que les bords 9, 10, rabattus automatiquement par le lien élastique 18, sont disposés en direction du sol afin de se retrouver sous l'élément couvrant 1.In this position, we note that the edges 9, 10, folded down automatically by the elastic link 18, are arranged in the direction of the ground in order to be found under covering element 1.

    On constate que l'élément couvrant 1 est accroché aux charnières 8 de la porte 4 de la benne ou du conteneur 3 montré(e) à titre d'exemple par l'intermédiaire des liens élastiques 27 en forme de boucle prévus à chaque extrémité du bord extrême 12.It can be seen that the covering element 1 is attached to the hinges 8 of the door 4 of the bucket or container 3 shown (e) by way of example elastic links 27 in the form of a loop provided at each end of the edge extreme 12.

    En figure 6, on a représenté une perche ou gaffe télescopique 50 pour la mise en place et le retrait de l'élément couvrant 1, au dessus de la benne ou du conteneur 3.In Figure 6, there is shown a pole or telescopic hook 50 for setting place and remove the covering element 1, above the bucket or container 3.

    La gaffe 50 comporte un tube 51 en fibre de verre, recevant dans sa partie interne une tige 52 qui peut se déplacer en translation par rapport audit tube afin de régler la hauteur de la gaffe. La tige 52 est immobilisée par un dispositif de blocage 53 qui peut être réalisé au moyen d'un bouton poussoir rappelé par un ressort.The hook 50 has a fiberglass tube 51, receiving in its internal part a rod 52 which can move in translation relative to said tube in order to adjust the height of the hook. The rod 52 is immobilized by a device for blocking 53 which can be achieved by means of a push button recalled by a spring.

    L'extrémité libre de la tige 52 comporte un autre dispositif de verrouillage 54 pour la fixation d'une potence 55 qui est constituée d'un portique 56 dont l'une des branches 57 est inclinée par rapport au tube 51.The free end of the rod 52 includes another locking device 54 for fixing a bracket 55 which consists of a gantry 56, one of the branches 57 is inclined relative to the tube 51.

    La tige 52 comporte, à proximité du dispositif de verrouillage 54, un crochet 58 permettant la manipulation des liens élastiques 18 et 26 de l'élément couvrant 1 afin de pouvoir l'accrocher ou le retirer des éléments de retenue solidaire sur le pourtour de la benne ou du conteneur 3.The rod 52 comprises, near the locking device 54, a hook 58 allowing the manipulation of the elastic links 18 and 26 of the covering element 1 in order to be able to hang or remove it from the integral retaining elements on the around the bucket or container 3.

    Le crochet 58 est tourné dans une direction opposée à celle de la branche 57 de la potence 55.The hook 58 is turned in a direction opposite to that of the branch 57 of the gallows 55.

    Les moyens de traction de l'élément couvrant 1, constitués soit du tube 23 soit du tube 30, sont destinés à recevoir la branche 57 de la potence 55 formant la perche ou gaffe 50 ou tout autre moyen de traction, permettant, d'une part de soulever l'élément couvrant 1 au-dessus de la benne ou du conteneur 3, et d'autre part de le déplacer pour l'emmener en direction opposée à celle de la porte 4.The traction means of the covering element 1, consisting of either the tube 23 or the tube 30, are intended to receive the branch 57 of the bracket 55 forming the pole or hook 50 or any other means of traction, allowing, on the one hand to lift the covering element 1 above the bucket or container 3, and on the other hand to move it to take it in the opposite direction to that of the door 4.

    En premier lieu, et dans notre exemple de réalisation, l'utilisateur accroche l'élément couvrant 1 sur les charnières 8 des vantaux 5 et 6 de la porte 4 de la benne ou du conteneur 3 par l'intermédiaire des liens élastiques 27 prévus sur le bord 12. L'élément couvrant 1 est positionné et étendu sur le sol dans le prolongement de la benne ou du conteneur 3 de manière que sa face recevant les bords rabattus 9, 10 soit dirigée contre le sol. Dans cette position, la face visible de l'élément couvrant 1 est celle recevant les repères 28 et 29 prévus au niveau des bords 11 et 12.First, and in our example, the user hooks the covering element 1 on the hinges 8 of the leaves 5 and 6 of the door 4 of the bucket or container 3 via the elastic links 27 provided on the edge 12. The covering element 1 is positioned and extended on the ground in the extension of the bucket or container 3 so that its face receiving the folded edges 9, 10 is directed against the ground. In this position, the visible side of the covering element 1 is that receiving the marks 28 and 29 provided at the level edges 11 and 12.

    En second lieu, l'utilisateur introduit la branche 57 de la perche ou gaffe 50 dans les moyens de traction constitués du tube 23 ou 30 de l'élément couvrant1, la gaffe 50 est ensuite retenue à l'intérieur du tube 23 ou 30 au moyen du lien élastique 26 qui coopère avec le crochet 58.Secondly, the user introduces the branch 57 of the pole or hook 50 into the traction means consisting of the tube 23 or 30 of the covering element 1, the hook 50 is then retained inside the tube 23 or 30 by means of the link elastic 26 which cooperates with the hook 58.

    En troisième lieu, l'utilisateur soulève l'élément couvrant 1 au moyen de la perche ou gaffe 50 pour l'emmener au-dessus de la benne ou du conteneur 3 afin de le recouvrir. Lors de cette manoeuvre, on constate que la face de l'élément couvrant 1 recevant les repères 28 et 29 passe dessous, c'est à dire, qu'elle vient directement en contact avec les déchets contenus dans la benne ou du conteneur 3. A l'inverse, la face de l'élément couvrant 1 recevant les bords rabattus 9, 10 passe dessus, c'est à dire, tournée vers l'extérieur.Thirdly, the user lifts the covering element 1 by means of the pole or hook 50 to take it over the bucket or container 3 in order to cover. During this maneuver, it can be seen that the face of the covering element 1 receiving the marks 28 and 29 goes below, that is to say, it comes directly in contact with the waste contained in the bucket or container 3. Conversely, the face of the covering element 1 receiving the folded edges 9, 10 pass over, that is to say, turned outwards.

    En quatrième lieu, l'utilisateur amène le tube 23 ou 30 pour le fixer à l'aide des liens élastiques 26 contre la paroi située à l'opposé de la porte 4. Fourth, the user brings the tube 23 or 30 to fix it using the elastic links 26 against the wall located opposite the door 4.

    En cinquième lieu, l'utilisateur déplie et fixe les bords 9, 10 sur les parois latérales de plus grande longueur de la benne ou du conteneur 3 au moyen du lien élastique 18 qui coopère avec des moyens de retenue solidaires desdites parois.Fifth, the user unfolds and fixes the edges 9, 10 on the side walls greater length of the bucket or container 3 by means of the link elastic 18 which cooperates with retaining means integral with said walls.

    La position, le trajet et la tension du lien élastique 18 sur la longueur de l'élément couvrant 1 permet aux rebords 9, 10 de se plier automatiquement en direction de l'intérieur dudit élément 1.The position, the path and the tension of the elastic link 18 along the length of the element covering 1 allows the edges 9, 10 to fold automatically in the direction of inside said element 1.

    Pour le retrait de l'élément couvrant 1, l'utilisateur procède à la libération du lien élastique 18, afin que les bords 9, 10 se plient automatiquement grâce à la tension du lien élastique 18 en direction de l'intérieur de l'élément couvrant 1 et qu'ils ne soient plus retenus contre les parois de la benne ou du conteneur 3.For the removal of the covering element 1, the user releases the link elastic 18, so that the edges 9, 10 fold automatically thanks to the tension of the elastic link 18 towards the interior of the covering element 1 and they are no longer held against the walls of the bucket or container 3.

    Ensuite, l'utilisateur libère le tube 23 ou 30 en retirant les liens élastiques 26 des moyens de retenue solidaires de la benne ou du conteneur 3 et introduit la perche 50 dans le tube 23 ou 30 de l'élément couvrant 1 pour l'emmener du coté de la porte 4, afin de la déposer au sol.Then, the user releases the tube 23 or 30 by removing the elastic ties 26 from the retaining means integral with the bucket or container 3 and introduces the pole 50 in the tube 23 or 30 of the covering element 1 to take it to the side of the door 4, in order to place it on the ground.

    Enfin, l'utilisateur procède au pliage de l'élément couvrant 1 pour son stockage dans un sac ou analogue.Finally, the user folds the covering element 1 for storage. in a bag or the like.

    On constate que la position, la tension et le trajet du lien élastique 18 sur la longueur de l'élément couvrant 1 permettent aux rebords 9, 10 de se plier automatiquement en direction de l'intérieur dudit élément avant son retrait et son stockage.It can be seen that the position, the tension and the path of the elastic link 18 on the length of the covering element 1 allow the edges 9, 10 to bend automatically towards the interior of said element before its removal and storage.

    La benne ou le conteneur 3 peut présenter toute autre forme, sans pour cela modifier l'objet de la présente invention et recevoir l'élément de protection 1.The bucket or container 3 can have any other shape, without this modify the object of the present invention and receive the protective element 1.

    II doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'a titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécutions décrits par tout autre équivalent.It should also be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention which is not not come out by replacing the execution details described by any other equivalent.
