Description

UNIVERSAL WASTE DISPOSAL APPARATUS

This invention relates to a universal waste disposal apparatus.

Waste disposal chutes are well known. The class type which make possible the transference of refuse from top stories of tenements, down through a series of zig zag chutes into heavy duty bins within basements areas below, have become of greater interest.

Accordingly, waste disposal chutes have been adapted for use with houses, making it possible to transfer refuse from the inside of a building via the wall, into a bin outside.

These chutes are unreliable, labour intensive and messy, and none contributive to environmental hygiene. Moreover in use, they provide a germ generating breeding ground for harmful bacteria unless continually cleaned and disinfected.

Kitchen waste is ejected out through the wall hatch or drawer in its raw state, soiling the wall chute, the outer chute and the receptacle outside. Hence, the decomposing waste becomes trapped within the system.

A waste disposal chute is known in accordance with prior art portions of 3232590 in which; the apparatus comprises a rubbish receptacle mounted on a fixed structure, wherein a collar is fixed to a wall to support a bin bag.

Waste is out into a backless drawer which is then closed to allow tae waste to fall into a bin bag outside. With apparatus of this kind, the hand is easily lacerated by the sharp edges of metal the collar or rim, and further lacerations are easily inflicted to the head by the corners of the liftable cowl when changing the bag.

To gain access to the bin bag or receptacle, the said cowl must be lifted, and a lower casing opened. Once the neck of the hag has been cleaned and tied, it must then be lifted out of the casing and after cleaning the apparatus, a new bin bag replaced.

The upper cowl has then to be lowered, the lower casino closed to conceal the bin bag.

A second arrangement is known in accordance with prior art portions of GB 2 106 61A A in which; The arrangement has a well known, down turned cowl with an outlet flap fixed to the inlet thereof. This specification is commonly known and widely used as an outlet. The cowl has a flexible conduit attached to its outlet and the elbow of the down turned cowl, as with the earlier mentioned backless drawer, prevents large amounts of sealed refuse from passing through the arrangement. Thus the rubbish is put through the system in its raw state, soiling the transverse wall duct, the flexible conduit and the dustbin.

In both cases, the heavy stench of decomposing refuse backs up into the kitchen when the wall hatch is opened, especially in climates of humidity. This is because the receptacle is covered completely by the cover means or flexible conduit, with no means for the free circulation or escape of air except, into the kitchen. The end result is that both the refuse and air trapped inside becomes increasingly hotter from the suns rays, and the oven like temperatures cause the moistures to evaporate, and the insides of the systems begin to sweat. This is the very environment in which fly blown insects thrive, and where harmful, germ generating bacteria begin to swarm and multiply to dangerously high levels.

These aspects and more are especially highlighted with infants and elderly persons in mind. As they are more susceptible to infection resulting from bacteria, and would be at risk if such systems were incorporated for use.

Food waste has almost always been put into small bins within the kitchen. This method is also dangerous, even if emptied frequently. A good example is that when tinned goods, meat, eggs and other perishables are opened and put into the bin, the residual matter reacts immediately with the atmosphere.

This triggers "RACTRRIUM" consisting microsconic microbes which reproduce rabidly by cross division. To add to this danger, their is "SCWIZOMYCETES" . The spores of which being one of a class of nitrogenous compounds derived from animal tissues.

These spores are almost always associated with the decomposition of albuminoid substances found in animal and vegetable bodies. In climates of humidity, the reproduction of microbic and albuminoid substances magnifies, and risk of disease from salmonella poisoning and listeria is increased significantly.

Fly's, insects and germs sometimes invisible to the human eye, after feeding on the decomposing matter within the kitchen bin naturally attract to the food preparation worktop, leaving behind minute traces of tae bacteria. In an elderly persons home for example, this could well prove to be fatal.

It would be advantageous to produce a ergonomic and environmentally friendly waste disposal unit capable of maximising hygiene levels to one hundred per cent efficiency. It would be beneficial also to produce a waste disposal system for use when building hospitals for example. Where the need to incorporate internal, lime susceptible base metal chutes, can be superseded by a modern, state of the art, British system with the capacity to successfully overcome the above objectives and more besides.

A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention there is provided a universal waste disposal apparatus for the disposal of hygienically sealed matter comprising a vertically adjustable wall traversing body in the form of a hollow shaft 1 fixable to the outer masonry or fabrications of domestic and industrial architecture at first or ground floor level 17 with a canopy 2 at the lower end, a slide valve mechanism or shut off plate 52 for self containment of the body 1 a movable lid 3 at the top of the body 1 replaceable by a couple 5 in the form of twin ferrules, one inside the other, joined at the waist by a ring, to form a cavity 31 in to which a series of further symmetrical body sections 1 and couples 5 cojoin in telescopic allineation to form a substantial bond. The apparatus further comprising polycladouse off shoots 21 to the body 1 the body sections communicating with and accessing one or more independent stories at different levels of elevations simultaneously, with state of the art, wall traversing refuse intake means, incorporating hand operated and mains electric powered central control board and sliding intake panels with hand operated function control key board with fibre optic, independent zone functions incorporating audio visual means and universal satellite communications. The invention comprises an open ended cylindrical or square buttressed shaft section 1 fixed to the brick wall of a building at ground floor level. A large fixably removable, radiused convexo, concave canopy 2 is fixed to the tail of the pillar section, and a movable lid 3 locates at the top thereof.

One or more glassade rubbish chutes 4 pass through the brick work or masonry of a house for example, to connect openly with the back panels of the buttressed pillar sections 1. Food waste, rubbish and general refuse is put into plastic disposable bags of variable sizes and is sealed therewithin. Because the bags are long, the neck can be sealed with the tape, ties or other means, and the remaining open end portion of the bag doubled back over itself and sealed again at the other end to form a double skin and a stronger bag for one hundred per cent hygiene efficiency..

The full bags are ejected out of the building via the wall chute into a receptacle comprising a dustbin, skip or any other type of receptacle which locates below the principal shaft section 1. Neither the system, nor the receptacles require of cleansing as the waste is sealed within the bags for maximum environmental hygiene.

Upon removal of the lid 3 a couple frame 5 having vallecula to encircling the top 6 and bottom 7 pieces thereof, fits on to the top edges of the a first buttress or pillar section 1 and a second pillar section 1 in turn fits into the top vallecula 6 of the couple frame 5. The process of addition of couple frames 5 and pillar sections 1 is repeated to a required height whereupon the lid 3 replaces at the top.

The buttressed pillar or shaft sections 1 as with the rest of the system are absolute in terms of scope of assembly, composition, usage, size variation permutation and configuration. As an example of the configurational scope of the cubically oblong or cylindrically hollow buttressed shafts 1 and the couple frames 5. The systems can be fully timbered and comprise at least Hexagonal, or omega shaped with the wings inverted or other wise, quartered, quadrate, hemispherical, polyhedral cylindrical, gore, diagonally shaped, hemicycular, corrugated, octagonal pentagonal, and Hippocrepian sections.

To increase the union between the couple frames 5 and the shaft ends 1 the vallecula encircling the top 6 and bottom 7 of the couple frame 5 can be perforated, and the shaft ends 1 furnished with corresponding diamond type teeth, so that when connected, any body torque or twist is checked, and further grin against dislocative jumping of the couple frame 5 enhanced. The couple frame will be described more fully in later paragraphs. The pile shaft or body sections 1 are moulded, extruded or formed comprising resilient, solid, pliable, warp resistant flexible or collapsible, permeable and impervious flat or curved panel lengths. Ribbed for strength, the sections have a minimum wall thickness of 0.5cm and a variable hollow inner bore diameter of 1,400mm. All corners of the pillar sections 1 as with the rest of the system, although not drawn as such, are particularly radiused for purposes of safety and aesthetic appeal.

Each panel section 1 is of a variable standard length at 1m, 1½m and for larger applications, 3m and 6m sections and with major applications comprising base metal sections of 10m to 80m in pile shaft form. When assembled the panels have a variable breadth of 305mm and a depth of 330mm. The sections are absolute in scope of length, diameter, breadth, height and depth. The main body or trunk 1 is of the or each system is fixed out of doors to the brick work or masonry of houses, tenements or structures at ground floor level to either the sides, gables, areas or facades.

A opening 8 is moulded out or cut through the top face of the back panel. This can be formed during the moulding process, or cut away using a sharp cutting tool. The opening 8 has a variable inner diameter of 340mm and is formed between the tongue and groove joints at the flanks of the back panel 9-10. The opening 8 is of such dimension as to be commensurate with, or slightly larger than the dimensions of the aperture within the brick wall. The said openings, as with the openings through the brick wall, can be square, oblong, round or rectangular or other as appropriate to the dimensional requirements upon fitting the apparatus.

The top edge of the opening 11 is positioned approximately 70mn from the top edge of the panel 12. The opening has an inner diameter of 2ό0mm. When fixed to the brick wall, the opening allows hygienically bagged and sealed refuse to pass freely out of the traversing wall chute into the upright trunk section.

Each panel has a tongue 9 running one inner length edge and a groove 10 its opposite parallel, The channels of the groove sections are packed with impermeable impervious seals. The tongue and groove sections are core pulled or placed as inserts within the mould to resemble at least a double headed arrow configuration, or diamond set lengths.

The opposite panels have corresponding groove 10 sections into which the tongue 9 sections fit. The tongue and groove joints can be moulded integrally with, or fixably removable to the said panels using strong thermal cement where required. The end pieces of the tongue and groove sections 13,14 when connected have a minimum variable end piece diameter of 8mm increasable with enlargement of the system. The tongue and groove joints 9,10 extend from the base of the panels to approximately 5cm below the top thereof so as not to obstruct the couple frame 5 from freely bearing down onto the top edges of the main body 1.

When using a four squared structure for example 1 the tongue 10 of a first panel 1 is pressed in to, or elapses with the groove 9 of a second to form right angle. The third and fourth panels join in the same manner with the two subsequent angled sections elapsing to form the open ended hollow pillar or shaft. Each panel section can comprise of a single piece, or can be layer moulded or can have cross ply panels stapled or cemented thereto for strength and rigidity.

For ease of assembly a couple frame 5 has a series of known fixably releasable hinged clasps 15 attached around its outer circumferential compass. This permits of releasable communicative attachment with the end pieces of the flat or curved panels 1 so as to radiate from all sides as a satellite. The panels then swing or fall together forming a double body section.

The back panel sections 1 of the buttress fixably abutting the brick wall further comprises a solid bass metal plate 16. The metal panels as with the rest of the system are, or can be covered with a protective plastic or UPVC coating using known methods so as to correspond with the appearance of the remainder of the system, and protect the metal against oxidisation or corrosion.

Where the metal back support plate 16 does not replace the normally plastic back panel, a metal frame formed of a rectangular oblong bar with radiused corners, will sandwich the plastic back panels to the brick wall, so that the side wing length edges do not bow out under the strain exerted by the contents of the main shaft when full. Accordingly, the tongue and groove sections 10-9 can have a series of steel pins or rods down the inner lengths edges thereof which pass through the connected tongue and groove joints to render the joints inseparable.

The steel back supports 16 are of such dimension as to fit tightly between the tongue 10 and groove 9 joints of the back panel 1. The plates 16 sandwich the plastic back panels 1 to the brick wall 17 by rawl bolts 13 which pass through a number of bore holes around the perimeter of the metal plate or frame 19 and through corresponding holes 20 within the plastic back panel 1 leading into the brick wall 17. The fastening nuts located at the ends of the rawl bolts are accessed and tightened from within the top and bottom open ends of the main pillar section using a socket or ratchet spanner or similar, or alternatively, the back panel is fixed to the brick wall with the metal plate and the front and side panels added thereto. As the nut heads tighten, the outer casing of the rawl bolts open out like an umbrella within the brick wall. An open ended threaded nut moves up the shaft of the bolt so as to pack or wedge the said casings of the bolts tightly within, and against the inner diameter bore of the drilled holes.

The protruding nuts are located at the top, middle and bottom sections of the panel and to the left and right flanks thereof. If left uncovered, the nut heads would catch the refuse packager or other items which pass through the shaft or pillar sections when in use. To overcome this, the nut heads are covered using two separate, long and slender corrugations which run from the top to the bottom bolts, pressing or sliding onto or down along the nut heads to give a smooth unobstructing interior when fitted.

When moulded or extruded the open ended pillar sections can be made of a complete ovaluted hollow lengths, not shown, with the back sections thereof being flat so as to fit against the brick wall. As with the flat panels, the hemicycular sections incorporate tongue and groove joints to the length edges thereof. The tongue and groove joints run down the inverted length edges of each curved section, so that when connected the flanges thereof abut each other so as to form an invisible seam from the exterior.

It is possible for the open ended sections to incorporate a series of press stud type joints, to provide access to the inside if the hollow lengths. In such case the hemicycular sections have inverted length edges to form cooperating flanges with stiffening webbs to the back sides thereof thus providing the necessary strength and rigidity. The inverted flanges of the back section have a series of small bore holes or sockets incorporated down each inverted length edge flange. The front section has a series of coacting projecting studs which press into the corresponding holes or sockets, to releasably interlock the front and back hemicycular sections together.

The extremities of each panel as with all external parts of the system are provided with a highly polished glossy surface. The systems will be manufactured in range of bright, solid or metallic, anti corrosive colour finishes to including bright yellow, red, white, blue, green and primary colours. The systems will also be manufactured in opaque, semi ooaque or completely transparent, see through finishes, being produced in a range of coloured tinted and toughened glass reinforced safety materials as perspex for example. The systems can, with full installation be produced in transparent moulded form to permit of full, allround or partial visibility and observation of the interior of the system, or can obscure internal observation as appropriate using at least known electronically controllable, or ultra violate sensitive and responsive colour tint or shading. Such specifications are prerequisite in order to blend with modern architectural and environmental situations.

The panels which form the pillar or shaft sections can be put together using all known tongue and groove, or mortise and tenon, stapled, saddle joint, push fit, snap fit, pop rivet, feral or other known applications including screw thread and plumbing joint applications and as such any permutations including multi sided configurations of any material including card board will be used with the present system, and the system as a whole will have full installation accordingly.

Where required the units will be manufactured in toughned safety glass with the panels, canopy and other parts thereof being formed of sealed units with inner and outer skins and a 6 or 12mm air gap there between The gaps with be filled with argon gas for example. A known method for reducing environmental noise levels. The gas is none combustible, is transparent and is heavier than air, thus providing the noise dampening effect.

The systems could conceivably be out together using freely available shatter proof plastic panels, angled corner sections and pop rivets and as such therefore, the systems can and will be assembled in any or all similar or other available known means. A good example is that the main body can be moulded or extruded of a large section. The section having at least three folds incorporated so as to simply fold together ready for use.

The drum tube or box sections are either injection moulded or extruded or both. With the extrusion process the extruded plastic outer skin membranes can stretch or zip tightly over and around a wire framework of each length section. The panel walls of the sections can be cut away so as to leave the upright corner sections and connected top and bottom rim edges to support the outer skin. For additional support, stretched PVC for example, would be stapled to the section frame work.

Where the system can only be fixed to a brick wall where drain pipes project therefrom, as leading form the kitchen sink inside for example. The main shaft can be moulded to cater for this. In such case, the back, front and side panel sections would be uniformly moulded to a refracted or dogleg angle so that the top 460mm section of the back panel bolt on to the wall in the same way as the perpendicular pillar sections, but the lower 460mm for example, would incline outwardly away from the brick wall and over the projecting pines. The two flanks of the pillar body are moulded in accordance with the dimensions of the front and back oblique panels, with the sections connecting in the same way as the upright sections by tongue and groove means.

The towering superstructure in complete form has diverging off shoot sections at the base 21. When assembly of the main body is complete, and extended vertically, this forms the structural configuration of a rocket with abortive limb sections. Using sources of force, the whole embodiment lifts off the ground to at least a height above of one or more receptacles, with the main embodiment of the system being stellar bound when viewed from below, with the vertex towering above the ground.

The diverging limb sections 21 branch off from the main body 1 in either ascending or descending angles. The limbs lock on by means of square or circular couple frames 22. Each frame comprises a square or circular bar with integral tongue 23 and groove 24 to the side length edges and two channels incorporating impermeable seals run the top 25 and bottom 25 nose edges of the frame 22 to form an air tight connection with the main body 1 when fitted.

A measured piece of each flank of the main pillar 1 is sheered off to accommodate the bar frame 22. The frame bears downwardly in vertical axis to connect with the corresponding tongue and groove 9-10 of the front and back panels of the main pillar 1. The vallecula 26 running the bottom face edge of the couple frame 22 slots onto the top face of the pared down flank or side panel 1.

When fitted to the flank of the main pillar 1 a gap exists between the top of the bar frame and the top of the pillar. A measured piece is cut from the pared down panel, bearing down to connect with the tongue and groove of the front and back panels of the main pillar in vertical axis. The bottom edge of the extra piece thus fits into the top edge vallecula of the couple frame 25 and the top of the spare piece is then flush with the top edges of the main pillar 1 thus sealingly filling the gap.

To link up with the off shoot sections 21 the couple frames 22 have a continuous skewed flange 27 encircling the inner diameter of the frame 2. The 27 flange is of lesser diameter than the inner diameter of the of the branched off shoot section 21 so that the off shoot 21 cementingly pushes up on to, and around the flange 27 so as to engulf it entirely. Once connected to the flank of the main upright pillar 1 the open end of the off shoot is pared off obliquely so that the mouth of the opening is horizontal to the ground. The outlet end of the off shoot 21 is then fixed to the brick or concrete wall 17 by small rawl bolts or masonry screws which pass through eyelets within the the back panel of the off snoot outlet. A radiused canopy 2 with the back centre section cut away sealingly engulfs the off shoot outlet 22 secured thereto by cementing agents and or rivets, although the said canopies can be releasably fixable using catchment means. The canopy 2 is set at a horizontal plane to the ground to cover a receptacle which is placed below. When fixed to the brick wall the canopies give support to the off shoot sections 21 as without such, the limb sections 21 would be subjected to torque distortion from the unsupported front sections which project from the brick wall.

Using the couple frames 22 the off shoot sections 21 branch up and out from any of the pillared sections 1 above the principal pillar or shaft 1. Where such off shoots are used to communicate with all apartments rising on all sides to the top of a tenement, office or tower block for example, known modern elbow type joints will be used where appropriate.

One method of diverting matter into either of the off shoot sections 21 is by loading a conducting means formed of a single flat disc or plate which slots into the criss cross incision 29 where the off shoots 21 join with the principal pillar 1. The decussate section is moulded integrally with, or cut from the facade of the main pillar 1. The four resultant triangular flap sections can open out and close, so as to freely access the inner bay of the main body 1 for removal of objects, or easier insertion of the conductor 28 for example.

The inner flank walls of the main pillar 1 are cut or moulded with supporting channels which traverse the flanks at the top side points of the intersection. The tongue 10 and groove 9 sections to the inside corners of the main pillar 1 are cut away to allow the conducting plate 28 to pass in and out of a gliding free movement.

The conducting plate 28 loads into either slot of the decussate sections 29 at a plane commensurate with the gradient of the limb sections 21. The slots 29 have one way air tight and water proof seals incorporated so as to form a barrier against the elements, at the same time permitting for access of the conducting plate 28. When the conductor 23 is inserted, the falling sealed refuse bags glance off the disc 28 to divert into either the left or right limb off shoots 21. For example, when inserted at an angle flush with the trajectory of the starboard side chute, the waste or rubbish bags glance off the conducting plate and divert into the starboard receptacle therebelow.

When full, the conducting plate is removed and replaced in reverse position within the body of the system so as to be flush with the port side chute section. Waste material then strikes the conducting plate and diverts into the port side chute and receptacle below. When using the centre or principal pillar section only 1 the conducting plate 28 is removed so that the said waste passes directly into the centre receptacle. When redundant, the conductor 28 is disengaged and housed underneath the canopy 2 allowing the falling matter to pass straight through the centre pillar section 1 and into the bin below.

The principal pillar 1 and branched sections 21 are of larger dimension to that of the pillared sections 1 so as not to restrict the flow of bulky refuse packages or sealed matter which require room to turn into the off shoot sections 21.

It would be normal for the diverging side chutes 21 from the main pillar 1 to be moulded integrally as a main body so that the diverging or branched off shoot limb sections and the centre pillar section are as a whole 30.

In such case, the front, side and back sections elapse or interlock using the tongue 10 and groove 9 means as earlier described, but where the concentric incisions may be omitted from the front face of the central section. In the unlikely event of an obstruction within the system, such can be dislodged using a pole for example. Alternatively, the system can be so fixed to the building wall as to gyrate, thus the obstruction would simply fall out.

The front and back sections are formed from a single mould, with one or more core pulled tongue and groove sections incorporated around the side edges. The side chutes and the under side sections thereof are also formed of a single mould and again have means therein to permit the or each section to elapse or interlock to form the said arrow configuration 30.

The channelled sections 31 of the couple frames 5 used to vertically extend the pillared sections 1; push UP into the outlet edges of the off shoot. In turn a separate off shoot in the form of a pillar section 1 is pushed up into the channelled sections 31 of the connecting or joining means 5 to which end a receptacle canopy 2 is then fixed at a horizontal plane to the ground. The ends of the off shoots having been diagonally pared away to accommodate such.

A fixably releasable lid 3 situates at the top of the pillar or shaft section. The lid 3 is moulded to form at least a hollow cuneiform, flat or conical configuration with integral internal strengthening webbs, not shown, and three downwardly extending rims to the front and side lower rim edges thereof. The rims 31 run the inner circumferential diameter of the lid 3 and extend in vertical axis downwardly to approximately 50mm. Also, the bottom edges of the operculum can be formed in symmetrical vertical axis 32 can be commensurate with the dimensions of the couple frames 5 so as to fit into the circular vallecula 31 in the same way as the pillar sections 1. The said lid can, as can the or each connecting part of the system, be furnished with screw threads around the bottom rims so as to form a tight union with the top of the main pillared sections when screwed together.

This also applies with the main shaft sections and couple means so as to again, prevent dislocative jumping of the sections. The lid 3 can also be moulded without the top face so as to facilitate further lids 3 thereon or further pillared sections 1 to fit therein.

The lid 3 can fix to the brick wall as a super canopy above the main pillared sections to form a gap between the top of the towered sections and the supercanopy itself. This to provide where necessary, an up draught of air where appropriately required to reduce condensation within the system during temperatures of humidity.

The atmospheric matter flowing upwards through the towering pillared sections 1 can be controlled by the cut off plate or diaphragm mechanism underneath the main canopy. This will be described later. By opening such, a natural up surge of air is created, and the flow provides natural suction for the extraction of air from within the system, or apartments once the portholes or inlets are opened.

To enhance this, a known extractor fan can be mounted either at the top open end of the extended pillared sections 1 and or the threshold of the interior inlet openings. With the lid 3 and all common joints of the system airtight, the system can incorporate suction means so as to form a sterile interior, or could conceivably incorporate sterilising agents or steam for example for use within the medical profession where pre operation surgical instruments can be temporarily stored in one hundred per cent sterile conditions.

A series of circular or square couple frames 5 or ferrules connect a series of buttresses, tubes or wall mounted pillar sections 1 to form the vertically extended sections.

The couple frame 5 as shown in Fig 8 comprises a reinforced plastic or base metal bar 34 forged or moulded and secured to a circular or square frames. The bar has a variable circumference of approximately 1,350mm and a minimum variable cubed thickness of approximately 1cm. The circular frame can be made smaller or larger to absolute circumferential radii and commensurate dimensional proportions. Two symmetrical ferrules 32-33 encircle the inner and outer circumferential diameters of the circular bar 34 to form at least a 12 mm gap therebetween 37. The first ferrule 32 is of lesser diameter than the inner circumferential diameter face 35 of the circular or square bar 34 so that the inner facial circumference of the circular bar 35 connects with the waist of the outer face of the first said ferrule 32.

The second ferrule 33 is of larger diameter than the outer circumference of the circular bar 36 so that the inner waist of the rim joins with the outer facial circumference of the bar 36.

The circular rims, hoops or ferrules have a minimum edge thickness of 1mm and a minimum depth or vertically axesed proportion of 4.5cm. The ferrules 32,33 can be made smaller or larger to absolute circumferential radii and commensurate dimensional proportions.

The inner ferrule 33 is abortive so that the circular bar 34 can be moulded or formed integrally with the outer rim 32. Thus when linked between two tube sections 1 the inner walls of the tubes and or pillar sections 1 correspond with the inner facial circumference of the circular bar 35 to give a virtually flat impermeable surface across the joint formed where the tube or cubical length ends meet with the bar 34.

To prevent dislocative jumping of the couple frames 5 from the open ended tubes 1 in high winds for example, the couple frames incorporate at least movable spring loaded hooked couplings 15 similar to those as described in Fig 8.

The couplings 15 incorporating drag bars and bolts, positioned at compassed points around the perimeter face of the couple frame 5 situating back to back so as to interlock with co acting couplings at the top and bottom perimeters of the tube or pillar sections 1.

The tubes or pillar sections 1 are of such length as to be pared using a cutting tool to accommodate any situation, structure, brick or concrete wall, partition, wall cavity width or thicknesses. The cubical pillar sections 1 are variable as to length and breadth but are normally of 1 metre length by 340mm width with a variable thickness of 4mm.

To meet varying situations the tube or pillar 1 sections can be sliced horizontally from the vertical into a number of symmetrical square or circular rims 1. The articulations are of symmetrical dimension to the couple frames, with the couple frames and articulations connecting in the same way as with the couple frames and long tubas. As resulting from the reduced length of the tube or pillar section, the play or give, normally associated with long tubular or square sections, is taken up when connected with a couple frame. Thus the connected sections polarise into a concentrated body of such resilience, and toughness as to withstand significant internal and external pressures and impacts.

A good example, is that where a series of symmetrical circular rims and couple frames are connected with the ends sealed. A vacuum can be formed internally of the structure, yet the walls would resist collapse. Moreover, as internal atmospheric evacuation increases, the couple frames draw tight from the suction and the airtight structure becomes virtually impregnable. On large scale tunnelling operations, such a structure would prove ideal to keep out water, and to withstand the pressures of strata bearing on the outer walls of the shell.

Each couple can be formed or moulded of a complete part or of individual pieces. The individual pieces comprise the circular bar frame, the two circular rims and known rubber discs for packing the upper and lower channelled cavities between the hoops or tubes for an air tight, impervious seal. When moulded in plastic the symmetrical edges of the smaller couple frame rim edges invert, to prize open and grip the open end pieces of the inner and outer walls of tubes when inserted.

The couple frames are or can be segmented in to two or more divisions to position in juxtapositional series around the top open end of a tube or pillar sections to form the symmetrical frame. It is envisaged that in use, the couple frames will be quartered, quadrate, quadrant, square, four squared, hemispherical, hemihedral, curved, oval, halved or other as appropriate.

The inner and outer rim faces of the couple frame can be smooth or milled, as can the upper and lower edges thereof, to grip the top correspondingly milled edges of the pillared sections. The upper and lower milled edges of the couple frame can communicate with movable internal or external gearing so as to rotate either separately to, or with the pillared sections. The outer rim face being milled so as to grip external bevel gears.

Used in industry, a fine wire gauze, mesh or filter can be placed over the top open ends of the pillared sections. The connecting means presses down into its engaged position and holds the mesh or gauze in place, facilitating the sift of coarse liquids powders or meal, cereals or other for example. A good example of the proportional and dimensional flexibility of the couple frame 5 is defined where the outer circumference of the circular bar 36 can remain at 1,350mm whilst the bar thickness is expanded. The inner and outer circular rims or hoop. like sections can be drawn out into, or formed separately of tubes 1 or long ferrules 32,33 of approximately 1 metre in length, with wall thicknesses of approximately 1cm. In such case the square or tubular sections 1 which unite with the couple frames 5 are of symmetrical proportions.

The said tubes 1 being symmetrical to the circular bar frame 34 slide in between the outer face 33 of the inner tube 33 of the couple frame 5 and the inner face 39 of the outer tube 32 of the couple frame 5 so as to abut the bulk head of the circular bar 34 when pushed deep into the cavity there between 40.

A further couple frame then sheaths the top projecting half metre of the inserted tube 1. The outer face of the inner tube 38 of the second couple frame 5 and the inner face 39 of the outer tube 32 of the second couple frame 5 slide down along the walls of the half metre tube 1 set in to the first couple frame 5 so as to abut the cylindrical bulk head rims 41 of both inner and outer tubes 32,33 of the first said couple frame 5.

When two additional, separate 1 metre tubes are rammed into the subsequent open cavities 40,40 of the two connected couple frames 5 the couple frames 5 and connected tubes 1 form a substantially solid, cylindrical, three layered, 3 metre long section.

The sections, when connected have tremendous capacity of endurance to withstand internal and external pressures, stresses and impacts. Such means would be ideal in use for the conveyance of water, gases, oils or other matter as the join seams where the outer wall sections connect can he welded thus the whole system would be substantially pipe burst, or leak preventative in use above or below ground.

The couple frames 5 and interlocking length sections 1 are subjected to quadrature of the circle and as such, will define together as an open ended hollow pillar or trunk 1 with symmetrical couple frames 5.

The pillared sections are polycladouse where appropriate from the sides of, or above the principal trunk 1. Where so, the connected frames 5 and pillar sections 1 articulate to negotiate obstructions, bends and gradients. This is achieved through the lid 3. The lid 3 is hollow, and normally cuneiform in configuration, with the bottom inverted rim edges thereof 31 bearing down into the cavity 40 of the couple frame 5. An incision is made around the inner diameter of the top face of the lid 3 to form an open or hollow frame 3. A second lid engagably inserts into the inner diameter wall sections of the first 3. Thus the the straight line of extent is broken, and the degree of curve or turn increased accordingly. The cuneiform sections can be reversed so as to revert back to the straight line of extent, or can meander to circumduct, surmount or undercut obstructions. This is advantageous when applied above or branching from the pillared sections.

In order to secure the couple frames 5 to the top of the tube or shaft sections 1. One or more rag bolts 42 will transfix symmetrical bar frames 43 and pillar sections 1. As an example, a holes 44 are bored into the corners or side edges of the bar frame 43. Four symmetrical holes 44 are bored into the top corners or sides of the main pillar 1 normally into the tongue and groove joints. And a further four symmetrical holes 44 bored into the four bottom corners of a second pillar 1. The steel or plastic rag bolts 42 are of symmetrical proportion to the bar frame 43 and pillar sections 1. The four bolts 42 bear down into the four bore holes 44 at the top of the main open ended pillar 1. In turn the bar frame 43 bears down over the bolts 42 to abut the top edges of the open ended pillar 1. The second pillar section 1 is then lowered onto the bolts 42 or rods to releasably abut the bar frame 43.

The tail sections of the back panels of the pillared sections 1 which unite with the couple frames 5 are not secured to the brick wall, as access to fixing bolts is prevented by the connection. In high winds this could be dangerous as severe gusts could dislodge the couple frames from between the open ends of the pillared sections. The use of barbed rag polts however, serves to overcome this problem, and prevent jumping, or dislocation of the couple frames.

When the couple frame 5 is positioned at the top of the main pillar 1. A second length section 1 bears down into the top channelled cavity 31 Fig 8 of the couple frame 5. The couple frame 5 defines together with top open end of the first pillar 1 and the bottom open end of the second 1 with all three interlocking to form an elongated section. The process of addition repeats to any given power, vertically, obliquely, or horizontally above or below ground.

When extending the pillared sections 1 in vertical series. Only the top left and right sections thereof are fixed to the brick wall 17 as the tail section is held fast by the socket couple frame 5. In turn, the couple frame 5 is supported by the principal pillar section 1 and the principal pillar section 1 is fixed to the brick wall 17 at the top, middle and tail sections by rawl bolts passing through the back panel at the said left and right inner flanks thereof. To test the symmetrically elongated sections 1 when fixed to the wall of a tenement for example. A sliding cut off plate or valve mechanism which closes off the outlet of the pillared sections 1 will be engaged to its closed position. Boiling water is is then poured into the main vertical body of the system 1 through the interior intakes at each floor level. In doing so, the incumbent load, being heavier than the normal quantities of sealed waste which are to be contained within the system 1 will show up any structural defects through the springing of leaks at weak points. Structural adjustments can then be made before the system goes into commission.

The induction of heavy water will be maintained at boiling point for a given period of time by using an electrified element placed at the bottom of the system. The boiling water, as representative of solar heat, will test the melt threshold of the structure, the expansion of the joints, the impervious seales and materials used.

In addition to weight tests, when fitting to tall buildings. Wind noise would whistle around and amplify within the vertically extended telescopic sections 1 if the couple frame joints 5 were not fully air and water tight. Thus smoke pellets as a further example, will be used so that where a leak exists, the smoke will seep therefrom and structural adjustments made accordingly.

A lightening arrester is fitted to the system. The couple frames 5 and the panel sections of the left and right panels to the sides of the back panels will incorporate insulated copper strips or other. The end pieces of the copper strips overlap as each section 1 of the structure is assembled, to form a continuous length from the vertex to the tail of the system, at which point, the fully insulated copper strip continues deep in to the round to earth the system and building.

A large radiused canopy 2 is located at the bottom of the or each shaft section 1. The canopy 2 fixes to the brick or concrete W3ll 17 in same or similar manner to that of a shelf or awning. The canopies 2 as with the rest of the system nave full installation and are limitless scope of configuration and comprise of at least a hollow, nutently curved, outwardly radiused, shell like shad convex'0 concave or all lens configurations.

The canopies 2 have integral strut support and are limitless. as to contracting or expanding dimension and have a normally variable dimension to project horizontally from a building wall by approximately 600mm with approximate variable circumferential radius of approximately 1,900mm. As with the rest of the system, the canopy 2 is or can be multi layer sandwich moulded for strength, rigidity, durability toughness and resilience, and can be made to limitless configurations to meet architectural and environmental situations. Again for strength and rigidity, the canopy 2 and main pillar sections 1 can be moulded as one piece. Where so, the interior surface of a standard sized unit can be coated with plastic cement or other adhesive agents.

The said unit is then placed over, and on top of a second whole unit of slightly lesser overall dimension to the first, so that the two units fit tightly together to form a double skinned or layered unit. Should three layered system be required, a third unit of slightly larger overall dimension than the first would also be coated with cement to its inner surfaces. In turn this would also be placed on top the first so as to fit tightly thereto forming a substantial three layered bond.

The canopies 2 can be fixed to the brick wall 17 by brackets, and or adjustably suspended by or fixed to the upright shaft sections 1 by fixably releasable plastic or base metal screws or plastic cement. For extra strength, the canopy 2 is also fixed to the brick wall by small rawi bolts which pass through the back downwardly turned section abutting the wall.

The canopies 2 are of larger diameter than the outlet end of the pillar sections 1 and are spoked or ribbed from the nave perimeters to the outer extremity perimeters. The canopies 2 can be cross plied, ribbed or stepped to withstand external stresses impacts and pressures.

A normally back most, centre section of the canopy 2 is cut away 46 or formed in accordance with the configuration of the shaft outlet. This permits hermetically sealed disposable bags or packages of waste to pass through the outlet of the main pillar 1 and through the top of the canopy 43 into a open receptacle below without hindrance.

The open 46 middle front and side sections of the canopy 2 are suspended by flanges 47 which radiate outwardly from the bottom of the principal open ended pillar sections 1.

The wall brackets 45 support the canopy 2 from the back at either side of the main pillar 1. The vertical section of the brackets 45 3re fastened to the brick wall 17 by at least 4cm long rawl bolts. The right angled arm which juts out away from the brick wall slot into rigid sleeves which form part of the strengthening webbs underneath of the canopy 2 and the back most flanks which have downwardly turned peripheral edges are fixed to the brick wall again by rawl bolts and washers.

The canopy 2 is connected to the outlet flanges 47 of the main shaft 1 by strong cement, screws and or plastic rivets. The cement is applied to the underneath inner rim edges of the canopy 2 which mount the flanges at the bottom of the pillar and also to the top areas of the flanges. The canopy 2 then slides on to the flanges 47 so as to engulf the bottom of the pillar 1.

A series of small holes are bored around the edges where the pillar flanges 47 and the inner canopy rims meet. A number of small screws being at least 0.5cm long are screwed up through the flanged sections into the substrata of the canopy shell.

Once connected, a plastic architrave incorporating a india rubber gasket is glued to both the bottom outer walls of the main pillar and the top face of the canopy to form a weather proof seal. The architrave defines together with the bottom outer faces of the main pillar and the top face of the canopy to form an impervious seal where the two connect.

The canopy 2 has at least two downwardly extending fixably releasable side edges or wings 4C. These act as guiding or locating means for a receptacle to be pushed under the canopy 2. The said wings are turned down to a approximate variable measurement of approximately 10cm.

The vertical edges located at the back corners of the inverted wings 49 abut the brick wall to support the weight of the canopy 2 around its outer zones as without such the canopy would sag. The encumbent weight exerted by the outer canopy zones is transmitted along the side wings 48 to the back vertical edges 49. As these are upright the play or sag is absorbed and rigid strut support is provided.

Located at the nose edge of the canopy 2 is a separately engagable, liftable, movably swingable, hanging section 50. The rigid flap 50 is formed of an oblong, rectangular section, suspended between the two peripheral edges 43 of the canopy 2. The hanging plate section 50 is convertibly adaptable to any configuration of the cover means 2 and has a series of small hooks running the top length edge and is connected to the canopy by a releasabley engageable rod or bar which passes through the said hooks. The bar or rod is supported by sockets at the front wing ends of of the canopy.

The hanging plate 50 can also be fixed any number of ways and can fix to the canopy 2 by a series of hinges running the front nose edge. These being fixed by a number of miniature screws and or strong cement. The static portion of the hinge can be integrally moulded between the strata of the canopy or can be cemented to the underneath thereof with the movable part of the or each hinge being connected to the plate in the same way.

A rod or bar passes directly through a cylindrical hinged tube moulded sections formed integrally within the top edge of the said plate. The inner diameter of the tube measuring at least 0.5 cm and the rod or bar being of such diameter to slide therethrough. The supporting bar is of such dimension as to permit the movable plate 50 of a swingable to and fro or up and down tilting movement so as to lift smoothly up to a static position. The plate 50 is held in the open static position by a known catch type means. When lowered a second catch holds the plate 50 firmly in its closed position. A smooth lifting and lowering action is facilitated by known counter balancing springs attached to the side wings of the canopy and the flap .

The downwardly turned side wings 48 can extend to the ground, fixed by at least four, 4cm long rawl bolts which pass through inverted flanges located at the bottom thereof and which lay flat with the ground.

A pivotably mounted flat or curved openably closable section is mounted to the front lower region face of the unit. The door extends from the front nose edge rim of the canopy to the ground, and is held in position by a long pin or rod passing through at least four known type small metal or plastic cylindrically formed hinge type members in a vertical axis. The said cylindrically formed hinges measure at least 2cm long and have an open end inner circumference of at least 0.5cm. The pin or rod is of such dimension as to pass freely tnerethrough.

The hinges can be fixed to the side length edges of the opening where the door situates by either incorporating the static portion of the hinges integrally between the inner and outer layers of the side sections or by fixing said static hinge portions to the inside face of the side sections using strong adhesives and screws measuring at least 0.5 cm in length. The canopy 2 can be adjustably turned to face away from either side flank of the main upright pillar 1 to facilitate the passing thereunder of receptacles in use within narrow passages or confined spaces. A good example is where the system is to be installed in an alley where space is limited for a dustbin to be pulled out from the front of the system.

The canopy 2 can be made up of a from two parts, a front and a back piece. The two sections being pivotably connected by a long hinge 53 or a steal rod, or at both ends by small pins. The back piece is fixed to the outlet of the main pillar 1 in the same manner as described in earlier paragraphs. A long impervious hinge 53 is then fixed to the front nose edge thereof either integrally, or by small screws or adhesives from the underneath. The second, or front section of the liftabla section of the canopy is then fixed to the long hinge to form a liftably movable section facilitating the entrance and removal of a receptacle and to act as a further observation means for checking when a bin or receptacle is full.

To prevent the canopy 2 from breaking from its fixed moorings or blowing inside out, as would an umbrella in high winds for example. Two wings, either moulded integrally with, or fixed separably to the canopy, are located at the side flank edges thereof. The said wings are formed of long triangular or cuneiform sections.

The sections run from the back of the canopy to the front, with the larger end situated at the back so as to abut the brick wall, being fixed thereto by rawl holts or similar which pass through integrally inverted flanges into the brick wall. Each section attaches in vertical axis to the canopy with the back vertical edges abutting the briek wall so that should a gust of wind force the canopy upwards. The said wings would retain the canopy in its horizontal position with the said wings absorbing the stress exerted by the up gust.

Where required, the canopy has two utility trays located thereunder. The said trays are oblong and omega type in length configuration and extend movably from the back to the front of the canopy. The trays, which pull out are mounted on runners or supporting tracks and are used for keeping tools, polish and or other odds and ends therein.

A rectangular or oval or other configuratively moulded viewing means 51 of variable size comprises at least a supporting frame into which a toughened glass or perspex or similar type smoke tinted window 51 is fixed or recessed into the top front face of the canopy 2 to provide direct observation therethrough, and into the bin or bucket below. The viewing means 51is fixed to the canopy 2 by small screws and or adhesives, and incorporates a rubberised impervious seal around its perimeters. It should be seen that during manufacture, the said persoex observation or viewing means can be sandwiched between one or more layers which form the outer and inner skins of the apparatus. The canopy has sufficient strength as to support and incorporate a mains electric or hand operated mechanical garden refuse shredder.

An openably hinged door 52 being either oblong, rectangular round or other configuration is removabley fixed to the front or side panels of the main pillar sections 1 to facilitate access of the system should a blockage occur. The said door can or will be of a smoked glass type appearance or clear persoex for example, and as with the canopy 2 a light can be so incorporated and activated within the said hollow pillar 1 so as to allow full observation of the interior.

The canopy 2 incorporates two, known type telescopic legs located at its front under side. The telescopic legs are articulated, fully pivotably, movable and adjustable, and fit into permanently cemented sockets affixed to the side flanks of the said canopy 2. In winter for example, when snow or ice begins to form on the top of the canopy, the weight is taken up by the telescopic legs. The legs, are secured underneath the canopy by simple clip spring means, and are pulled out to full extent in vertical plane to fit into sunken sockets in the concrete or ground below. The said legs are then tightened at the or each joint by allan key means or similar.

The canopy 2 has securing means for a receptacle in the form of movable telescopic arms, of the type normally found in filing cabinets. The telescopic arms are fixed to the briek wall underneath the canopy in the same way as the brackets as earlier described. The extendable arms have a universally known collar or rim fixed to, and between the front inner flanks thereof which provide the necessary support and to and fro movement of a baggy plastic sack for example. The front of the said rim is pulled fro, and the telescopic arms and circular rim glide out from under the canopy.

The neck of the sack, as with all other known bag or sack holding rim means, is turned over and around the rim which protrudes above the extending arms in vertical axis. A large couple frame 5 as described bears down around the rim or collar to sandwich the open neck of a sack for example, thus securing the it tightly in position. When the sack is full, it glides out from under the cover means 2 the couple frame 5 is removed and the bag drops away from the frame to be emptied and replaced without hindrance. The couple frame 5 is used in the same way, with litter bins, baskets, buckets and other means used in and out doors and in leisure environments. Normally litter baskets and similar sack holding receptacles have a complicated procedure of clasping the neck of the plastic bag around the rim of the basket for example, by means of lever collars or similar which have to be released to allow the collar to be lifted. Such means are usually sharp and can inflict severe cuts to the hand.

With the present couple frame 5 however, operation is simplified and because moulded in plastic with rounded edges, will not cut the lacerate hand. The circular or square couple frame simply bears down over the rim of the litter basket and wedges the neck of the plastic sack between the rim thereof, and the circular vallecula at the underside of the couple frame 5. The couple frame 5 is held in position be the known type plastic clip springs which compass the circumferential perimeters of the frame as described, and connect with co acting clip springs fixed to the basket or bucket.

The canopy has two inverted rails, runners or tracks 53 which supports at least one disk shaped semicircular, or rectangular flat shuttle action cut off plate, or sliding valve mechanism 52. The cut off plate 52 is either flexible, pliable or solid and can comprise a net or filter where appropriate.

The shutter plate 52 has a variable length of 280mm, a variable breadth of 300mm and 3 variable plate thickness of 4mm. The plate 52 is operated by hand or by automatic mechanical means. The mechanisms are principally powered by electricity from mains but any other means can be applied for industry for example, such as water or steam and other sources of force. For the purpose of description, clockwork mechanisms will be broadly described.

Depending on the size of apparatus used, any mechanical means can be used to drive the shuttle to include steam, electricity powered, diesel, petrol, W3ter and or any other means an appropriate. The mechanisms or machinery employed can be of smaller, larger or of commensurate dimensions to the canopy, the system, and the task involved. For the purpose of description, a perpetually reciprocating clockwork mechanism will be described for smaller units, and a manually operated bevel geared system of shuttle plates for the upper sections.

The tracks 53 are mounted to either side of the outlet of the main shaft 1 and support continuously looped rubberised drive belts and or bicycle type chains. The cut off plate 52 has a series of spurs running each side length edge. The spurs fit into the notches of the chain. The overall mechanism incorporates friction gearing which imparts motion to the looped belts or chains, which in turn impart reciprocal motion to the cut off plate 52. The actuating means for controlling the mechanisms can be incorporated either within the too or side flanks of the canopy 2 or there below. As an example, the overall mechanism comprises four motors which locate to either outer side of the the runners or tracks 53 and connect with the drive belt by spur wheels. As the first mechanism is wound up and released, the cut off plate 52 moves forward over the outlet of the main shaft 1.

As the movement drives the opposite belt, this action winds up the second mechanism. When requiring to open the outlet of the main shaft 1 the second mechanism is employed and in turn re winds the first. Thus the mechanisms can be employed in perpetually reciprocating shuttle manner. As the cut off plate 52 engages to its closed position, the two lower mechanisms are or can be automatically triggered by the said shuttle plate.

The second two mechanisms, which form part of the first, connect with a second, separate sliding plate also attached between two movable runners. The plate has two bars extending downwardly from the underneath back section of the pla te in vertical axis. The said bars connect with a large circular hinged rim which open out from the front to permit a bin to be clasped thereinto, the front half swings open and shut to receive and embrace the said bin or other receptacle.

When for example, the main cut off plate 52 engages to its closed position. The second means employed pushes the bin out from underneath the canopy 2 aided by a bogey or flat trolley supporting the bin for free movement. The mechanisms communicate with the ceiling, or flanks of the canopy 3 by strong cement and base metal screws measuring at least 0.5cm length. Where the system is to be manufactured to substantial proportions for use in industry the increase in power will be commensurate with the required size of the system. In such cases the drive mechanisms would be substantial, and would he wound up using a large crank handle or external mechanisms.

The cut off plate plate closes off and re opens the outlet opening of the principal Pillar section 1 and the upper floor sections thus permitting the said sections 1 to become a closed reservoir or self contained unit or series of units, for the storage of hygienically sealed refuse or other matter. As the or each section of the system is closed off, the sections become air locked as the lid 3 at the top of the main pillar section 1 and the cut off plate 52 at the bottom to close the system off entirely, with the main body thereof 1 rendered air and water tight by the seales incorporated therein. Whan the cut off plate is opened, the contents fall under gravitational pull to strike the large bucket below. The cut off plate 52 is held in closed position by two grins 54 similar to clip springs located underneath and to the left and right back sides of the outlet of the main pillar or pipe section 1. The grips 54 are separately engageable to the main canopy and are fixed thereto by small but strong screwe or bolts with corresponding nuts which screw onto the said bolts from the opposite side of the back panel thereof.

The cut off plate 52 has two corresponding holes into which the rounded protrusions of the grips lock. This prevents the sliding plate 52 from moving when weight is applied from above but permits the said plate to open with ease when pulled out horizontally.

Preferably a cuneiform deflector is located at the outlet of the main open ended hollow pillar section 1. The said deflector fits and runs the length horizontally between the two flames of the main open ended pillar at the open outlet end thereof. The deflector can be moulded integrally with the back panel of the main pillar or can be fixed to the said back panel of the main pillar by two or three long screws which pass therethrough and into rawl plugs set within the briek wall. The front face of the deflector slopes obliquely toward the receptacle so that down coming containers or bags of refuse hit the deflector and conduct into the receptacle.

As one example, where the sliding cut off plates 52 are to be used at each or different floor levels of tenement or similar buildings for example, the the supporting tracks 53 are doubled up and made in to at least a rectangular frame 55. The frames 55 comprise strong base metal bars or rods coated in plastic for protection against the elements.

For example, a long base metal and or plastic moulded or other type bar 55 with an end diameter of at very least 20mm and measuring 2,750mm in length is forged into a double twin looped frame, to resemble the front lens holding frame of a pair of inverted or reversed spectacles. The unconnected ends are welded together for stability and strength, and a second frame is then laid flat on top of the first, and is welded to the corner sections thereof in such a way as to form a gap between the two connected frames 55.

The gaps exposed to the elements formed between the two mounted frames are sealed off by welding flat rectangular strips of base metal along each external side so as to enclose the frame 55 around its perimeters, and to for a channels or grooves around the inner circumferential perimeters thereof so that two proportioned sliding valve or cut off plates 52 slide freely to and fro to releasably meet each other in the middle of the frame 5 and to close of or open the pillar section 1 in use. The breadth of the frames 55 when fitted around the body of the pillar sections 1 measure 610mm, and the depth is approximately 300mm with a thickness 20mm. The said frames 55 have two integral large steal plate brackets 57 welded to the back left and right sides thereof so as to fix to the brick or concrete wall 17 of the building at either side of the pillared sections 1 in a horizontal plane. The frames 55 can be fixed to the said building wall in series at variable points up the vertical length of the pillared sections 1. Horizontal incisions are made in the flanks of the pillar sections 1 so as to form slots into which the divided cut off plates 52 can slide into and out of freely.

Twin india rubber seals encircle the inner circumferential diameter of the slots so as to form an impervious seal, so that when the rectangular sliding cut off plates 52 are in open or disengaged position, the interior of the pillar sections 1 are protected from the elements.

series of known base metal shafts connected to spur wheels and co acting bevel gearing can be used to close of and open the cut off plates 52 simultaneously. By cranking a handle at the foot of the vertically extended pillar sections 1 the bevel gearing at ground level rotates the shafts and further bevel gearing located at intervals where the cat off plates 52 are housed, rotate accordingly.

The bevel gears connect to a statically mounted ravolvable screw which passes through the sides of the or eaca frame 55 and pivotable connects with a first cut off plate 52. The said screw passing through the frame 55 is held in position by a sleeve or greased feral between the two bars of the frame 55. The second cut off plate 52 is operated by co acting direct action rods and bevel gearing which passes in sections around the pillar section 1 to connect with the bevel gearing of the upright driving shaft, so that when turned at ground floor level for example, the or each cut off plate 52 at each floor level closes off simultaneously. When each closed off section of the main pillared sections 1 are full, the crank handle is turned and the cut off plates 52 open or withdraw from within the centre of the pillared sections 1 allowing the refuse to fall freely into a waiting receptacle below.

Where the systems are to fixed to the brick wall 17 two abreast at ground floor level for example, both cut off plates 52 can be co actingly employed, linked by 3 connecting rod. As an example, where one unit is in use and rubbish falls directly into the bin below. The cut off plate 52 within the second unit is in its closed position so that the rubbish builds up within the body of the second pillar 1. When the first bin under the first open unit is full, the connecting rod pushes across toward the second unit and the cut off plate 52 of the first closes off the outlet of the first unit 1 and the cut off plate or sliding valve mechanism 52 of the second unit opens allowing the build up of waste or refuse therein to fall into the waiting bin below. Both cut off plates 52 can also move in unison. The two units can employ the said slide valve mechanisms 52 in reciprocating manner whereby the first would utilise a rectangular cut off plate 32 pivotably attached to a connecting rod.

The connecting rod in turn connecting with a larje wheel or disc, horizontally suspended below the second unit. The connecting rod movably connects wits the outer perimeters of the disc so that as the first said cut off plate 52 is closed side ways for example, the second, rotating disc tarhis by half, or one revolution. The said disc having gaps locate. spaced intervals there around so as to permit refuse or other matter to pass freely therethrough.

Before the main shaft section il s fixed to the brick, concrete wood or fabricated wall an appropriate area is marked out using a template. An aperture is then cut through the wall internally and externally of the building using manual, electronic, sonic or pneumatic cutting tools.

In use with a single system, the aperture has a normally square opening dimension of approximataly 305mm by 305mm. The brick work 17 is removed from both the outside and the inside of the building. When using a electronically operated angle cutter for example, tie circular revolving disc is aligned with the right hand side vertical line as marked out by the template.

Forward pressure is applied to the angle cutter and tae brick work is neatly preacied. This i s repeated at the left nan side vertical line, and the bottom horizontal markings so that pressure from the brick work is not exerted on the cutting disc. The top horizontal line marking is then cut through and the brick work block drops away from the too coarse of brick, and is removed. When using such high speed cutters, clouds of brick dust throw out from the spinning wheel, thus a industrial type vacuum cleanar is used. The nozzle of the hose is attached to the cutter by clamping means so that as the dust flies off form the spinning wheel, it is sucked directly into the nozzle and of the vacuum to thus reduce health and risks.

With the single unit, the transverse wall chute 5: is assembled in similar or exact manner to that of the larger wall chute sections 1 and are connected either by pressing or sliding each panel section together. The wall chute 58 having a brilliant white high gloss finish to its inside, and incorporating at least a type known internal safety lamp for full vision thereinto passes through the brick wall 17 in either a horizontal plane or decurrent frog the inside of the building. The said safety or other type lamp can be powered from a rechargeable environmentally friendly batteries or mains, and is activated when the door 58 of the refuse intake is opened.

The inlet or intake means 59 can open in any direction and is hinged, pivotably secured to the casement surround 60. The openable inlet 59 comprised of a casement 60 and panel 59 is fitted to the inside work room wall. The outer boarders of the casement 60 mask the rough edges of the opening 61 made through the brick wall 17.

It is possible for a leaf bridge 50 for example, to lift a counter balanced portcullis type partition upwardly across the opening. So that as the leaf bridge is lowered, the portcullis rises from between the face of the interior brick wall, and the back of the casement. In such case the casement 60 would be extended vertically to house the portcullis type panel and pulleys when in its open position. This would be advantageous as a secondary seal to external elements.

The inlet casement 60 the epenable leaf bridge panel 59 and wall chute section 58 are formed of at least of a square or tube section. The wall chute 58 and casement 60 removably interlock by pushing both the casement flange 62 and the wall chute sections 53 together. The circular flange 62 integrally encircles the open inner diameter of the casement 60 and extends from the back thereof to recesses the threshold of the wall aperture 61.

The circular or square flange 62 is of lesser diameter than the inner diameter of the square wall chute 53 and is of such dimension as to push fit, tightly inside the open stepped inner walls of the wall chute 63 so that the wall chute 53 and casement flange 62 releasably connect. Once the wall chute 5 is connected to the casement flange 63 and is in position within the wall opening 61 the openable inlet partition 50 and casement 60 fix to the tile or plaster face of the interior wall by small rawl bolts with covered heads.

Once secured to the inside building wall, a second separate circular or square out side securing flange 65 having two inverted lip type portions 66 is pushed into outlet of the wall chute 67 from within the top open end of the main pillar section 1. When the flange 65 is engaged, inverted lip or flange sections 66 abut the back panel of the main piller section 1 so as to sandwich it against the brick wall 17. The second external flange 55 which acts as a securing and locating means for the outlet of the wall chute 67 has a lesser circumferential inner diameter than the inner circumferential diameter of the wall chute section 67 so as to push fit in to the stepped end section 67 of the wall chute 5.9.

The inlet and outlet wall chute securing flanges when fitted, form a flat, stepped but unobstructed passage through the building wall, with the end pieces of the internal wall chute flange diameter tapering so as to smoothly flow in to the surface of the wall chute.

Where the passage is over 250mm by 250mm square. At least four 1cm thick stanchion bars are placed underneath the top coarse above the opening to support the encumbent coarse work.

The inlet casement and flange 62 and the back panel of the main pillar 1 both have at least two small holes 6 bored through the plastic to permit at least known cement foams, indicated by stacata, to pump into the cavity 69 surrounding the wall chute 58 to thus render the complete section thermally insulated and solid.

This can be carried out from the ground up, and to each side of the building. A thin square wood frame is inserted into the well passage to cover the inner wall cavity and act as a barrier to the foam cement before the main chute section 59 is fitted.

Where two units or systems are to be used side by side in juxtaposition for example, the aperture cut through tae brick wall 17 measures approximately 305mm height by 610mm breadth. Two coarses of brick work above the opening are remove, to a breadth of approximately 600mm.

Two steel gurders 72 of proportionate dimension are then placed into the openings 71 from the outside, and from the inside of the building. The girders 72 are of such dimension as to fit tightly within the long openings 71. When in position, the girders 72 act as surrogate support for the superincumbent down bearing weight of the brick work above 17.

Using a cutting tool, the brick wall 17 is breached externally and internally of the building. The first two inner and outer brick coarses 71 are removed to a length of approximately 305mm. The lm girder is placed transversely through the breadth 71 and a 30mm thick steel plate 73 is positioned to restcross wise on the beam 72 passing through the wall 17 so as tobe f l ush with the under side of the top coarse of bricks when raised. Two accro jacks 74 then position at each end of the beam 72 and the jacks 74 are raised from outside and inside of the building simultaneously. The jacks 74 raise the supporting beam 72 so that the said steel plate 73 pushes up flat against the toy course of brick 75 whereunder sufficient upward pressure is applied by the jacks 74 to support the encumbent weight when further lower brick work 17 is removed.

The operation is then repeated to either the left or right of the first coarse removal so as to extend the length opening to approximately 690mm, with two further jacks 74 supporting a second beam 72 which also passes through the breached wall 71 to support the upper, coarse work 75. The coarse below the opening is then removed either by hammer and chisel or cutting tools, to the same length dimension as the opening above at 690mm.

A large concrete lintel 76 with depth to rest flat on both inside and outside coarses of brick is then placed within the opening from the outside of the building. The said lintel 75 is packed up by 1cm end diameter steel rods and grouted at the ends using a three to one mixture of welsh or mersey grit, and cement.

A coarse of brick are then laid and pointed in along the top of the concrete lintel 76 to make good the gap between the flat top of the lintel 75 and the bottom face of the brick work above the gap, with small 1mm end diameter bars spaced at intervals above and below the coarse work for extra strength. Once the cement has sat firmly, say after a day or so, the supporting jacks 74 are removed and the subsequent gass filled with closures.

A large section of brick work is then removed from below the concrete lintel 75 measuring approximately 305mm in height by 610mm length. A series of bore holes 77 with an inner bore diameter of 1cm are bored into the brick work 17 around the inner and outer girdle of the coarse work.

A large made to measure steel or iron, open box frame 78 is than positioned within the gape of the wall opening. Rawl bolts which pass through steel lugs 79 on and around the perimeters of the frame 78 fix into the bore holes within the brick work 77 to hold the said frame 78 fast.

The steel frame 78 is comprised of welded T bars or similar s) as to form a narrow gauge track 20 on which the traversing wall chute frame 81 moves. The distance traversed between the said tracks 70 is approximately 290mm. The second steel frame 01 having four saddle type removable wheels 82 attached thereto and being of lesser overall dimension to that of the parent frame 78 is movably fit tewithin. the confines of the larger frame 78 during assembly or manufacture. The smaller frame 81 traverses the brick wall 17 so that the four integral wheels 32 located at the top an : bottom corners thereof fit between the top and bottom length rails 70 of the parent frame which locate along the inner and outer tnresholds of the wall opening.

As one example, a motorisad, reverse action mains powered motorised finch 33 is incorporated within either the left or right middle sections of the brick wall 17 so as to position between the gap air gap between the outer and inner coarses of brick. A continuous looped cable 84 runs form the said winch

83 to pass through eyelets 85 at the bottom middle sections of the wall traversing frame 91.

The cable 81 comes back on itself via a series of pulleyo 84 housed within the middle gap of the wall to encircle the frame 78 entirely, with the said cable 84 being secured to the eyelets 85 on the moving frame 81 by at least toggles at each side of the eyelet 35. Thus when engaged, the wall traversing frame 91 moves along the tracks 80 to either the left or right of the large wall opening as desired. Other wise the traversing wall chute 58 would be moved by hand or by direct drive motors attached to the wheels 82 of the movable frame 81. The distance traversed along the tracks 80 in the wall 17 by the frame 31 is approximately 600mm.

The square or cylindrical plastic wall chute section 58 being complete with installation, is held firmly in position by the steel and or plastic wall traversing frame 91 which has slightly larger inner diameter than the outer diameter of the wall chute 58 so as to hug it when slid into position between

When using the wall traversing chute section 58 a side gap exists when slid across to either the left or right of the opening within the brick wall. This is taken up by means of movable partitions 36 which attach to the sides of the wall chute inlet casement of the larger or double intake frame means 37. The said partitions to slide along thin runners or tracks, which are parallel to, and in front of the main supporting frame casement 37 and integral with the surrounding casement 37.

The casement surround 87 is hollow and protrudes slightly from the kitchen or other room wall to approximately 20mm, and the flames thereof extend to either side of the opening so as to house the sliding partitions 86 when moving the apparatus from side to side. The movable wall traversing chute section 81 is moved to either side of the gap in the wall by clasping the handle located on the inlet panel 59. No exerted effort is required as the whole traversing frame 81 glides freely along the main frame 80 on its oiled wheels 82. Any possibility of torque within the frames when moving the unit is taken up by the rigidity of the steel or toughened plastic or other type frame 80.

The two units or system are then mounted or fixed in juxtaposition to the outside face of the brick wall. The opening within the back panels of each unit are of commensurate dimension to that of the traversing wall chute 58 having a beam of approximately 290mm and a height of approximately 290mm.

External elements can be kept at bay using known india rubber or plastic type gasket seals to surround the wall outlet opening. Waste matter for example is transferred through the traversing wall chute into say the left hand side unit to pass into the bin outside until full. When full the slide valve plate mechanism 52 closes of the outlet of the main trunk 1 and the said trunk or pillar section 1 fills up with sealed waste bags or packages.

When the main pillar section or trunk 1 becomes full, the traversing wall frame 01 and chute 59 glides along the tracks 80 within the brick wall along to the opening within tha second unit. Thus a second receptacle and pillar section 1 can then be brought into used without fuss. The provision of wall openings to house the wall chutes 58 at different stories of buildings is carried out using either scaffolding, staging, cradle or bucket seats, ladders, crane, electronic winches or other known means as appropriate to proper installation of the systems.

Where larger openings are to breached through concrete or brickwalls at towering heights for example, the affore mantioned accro jacks would comprise electronic hydraulic, inverted jackswhich communicate with the ends of the supporting beams which pass transversely through the wall, and extend diagonally and downwardly to fixably abut the internal and external brick or concrete walls. Being fastened thereto be large rawl or other heavy duty 3cm barrel diameter bolts.

The provision of interior inlet means are not restricted to fitting to the left and right sides of the kitchen window for example, or the underneath thereof. A second type of circular or square casement and back flange can be set in to the threshold of window aperture. The flange is made to extend and reach deep into the aperture through the sill to communicate directly with the pack opening of the pillar section outside 1. Both the casement and integral flange are of such configuration as to hug the top horizontal of the window sill, and the front face of the wall below it in vertical axis. Once fitted, an openably closable inlet attaches to the back rim of the surround by at least small screws and hinges or plastic cement.

The traversing wall chute in not restricted to pass solely through a brick wall 17 as the wall chute 59 can be omitted, so that the interior inlet casement 69 and the outlet securing flanges 65 sandwich the perimeters of a opening through a made to measure double glazed window. In such case, the interior inlet casement 58 would communicate directly with the main shaft section outside 1 with the said pillar 1 being vertically inclined to meet with the outlet through the window, being secured thereto by the securing flange 65 which is cemented to the back panel of the lain pillar section 1 at the lip or flange portions 55 and to the vallecule of the inlet casement 60 also by strong plastics cement. Where the system is fitted to the starboard side of the window, and the said window requires of opening, the receptacle canopy 2 can be turned to face away from the side flanks of the main pillar section 1. Before the window is opened, the liftable hinged section at starboard flank thereof is lifted to rest against the upright of the gain pillar 1 so that the window opens freely.

The system adapts for use at work top level, so that food waste or rubbish is dropped down the chute system internally or externally of the building to a bin or receptable located within a basement, caller or garage area below. This would be carried out by cutting an opening through the surface of a kitchen sink draining board, A water proof and air tight inlet means and casement 58-59 ia them fixed firmly into Position within the aperture.

A second hole or aperture is cut through floor area below the said work top, and a shaft or pillared section 1 is then fixed to the underside of the inlet casement 60. Possibly with the use of brackets or other supporting means, the remainder of the vertically extendel shaft or pillared sections 1 are built upwardly or downwardly in series from within the basement or garage area, or from the kitchen to communicate fixably and releasably with the said inlet casement 60.

For disabled or wheel chair bound persons, the inlet 58 and casement 50 can be incorporated in to a cupboard door below work top level. In such case, a branched off shoot section would lead into the the vertical pillar sections 1 in the same way as the arrow section of the vertically extended pillared sections. As one example for ease of use of the system, the upright pillar or shaft section 1 and the canopy fixed thereto can are vertically adjustable so as to glide freely up and down the brick wall when fitted.

Two hydraulic, telescopic light alloy tubes or cylinders 80 are fixed to the brick wall 17 in parallel vertical axis at each side of the aperture 90 within the brick wall 17. The cylinders 09 are fixably mounted to the masonry by rawl bolts or masonry screws 91 which pass through brackets 92. The movable telescopic sections 93 housed within the main cylinders 39 move up or down freely either by hand or electronically.

When using the telascopic system, the back panel of the main trunk of the section 1 is or can be aborted, and the side panels are moulded integrally with hook brackets 94. The brackets 94 are located at or near the too sections of the side panels 1 at approximately 50mm in from the masonry 17 and align at right angles to the telescopic cylinders 93. The male hook brackets 94 variably project from the inner walls of the side panels 1 horizontally to approximately 20mm and variably invert downwardly to approximately 50mm.

The top flank sections of the movable cylinders 99 have co acting female brackets 95 projecting therefrom in to which, the male brackets 94 click into. The ends of each male bracket 94 are have hooked projections 96 so that when inserted into the co acting female brackets, the hooks click under the bottom rims thereof in such 3 way that when the whole unit is lifted, the hooks 95 grip the female supporting brackets 95 and the telescopic cylinders 93 draw upwards in unison.

The static cylinders 89 have a variable length of approximately 600mm from the bottom of the pillar section outlet 1 to the to of the aperture within the brick wall 99 and a variable inner, open and diameter of approximately 30mm with movable clack valves 97 at the bottom ends thereof.

The movable telescopic sections 93 have a variable length of 600mm and a variable outer end diameter of approximately 27mm so as to slide freely in and out of tae static cylinders 80. The bottom ends of the telescopic sections °3 are closed with small wad type or force pump gaskets 98 ehcircling the ends in similar manner to that of a bicycle pump.

As the whole connected unit is lifted, air draws up into the main static cylinders 80 from the bottom openable ends with the clack valves 99 opening upwards from the draw of suction from the telescopic sections 98 when lifted.

If required, the whole unit can be removed from its fixed position by depressing the hooked male brackets 94 at the top of the side panels 1 which connect with the female bracksts 95 of the telescopic cylinders 93. As this is done, the the unit lifts out of the female supporting brackets 95 and the systen is then pushed up to the limits of the too of the channel or track sections 103 and is lifted away. When the hydraulic system is not in use, a small bolt can fixed to the brick wall adjacent a flank of the canopy 2 so as to pass there through and hold it in position so that wind gusts do not lift the system.

The system can be wall mounted so as to traverse the brick or other type wall in revolving gyrating manner. The waist section 105 of the main body 1 is held to the wall 17 by a square hollow bracket 106 which surrounds the inner waist 105 of the body 1 entirely. The bracket 106 is movably and pivotably attached to a harizontally mounted supporting bolt 107 which is fixed into the brick work 17. The bolt 107 is screw threaded at the end entering the brick wall 17 and. movably engages with a female screw sheath which is solidly grouted into the said brick work. The end of the bolt 107 attached to the body bracket 106 is capable of swivelling full circle and has a notched projection on the shaft 108 to enable the system to pull out slightly from the brick wall 17 and push back again.

A hole is bored through the back section of the bracket 106 with a corresponding hole through the back panel of the body shaft section 1. The bracket 106 normally comprising steel for strength of support, fits tightly inside the main body or shaft 1 and a second shaft section 1 of lasser dimension to the first fits inside it so as to mask the protrusions of the bracket 106 when in use. The air gap between the walls of the two shaft sections is plugged at the ton and bottom thereof and the unit is then filled with argon gas or other sound matter. The system or unit is then aligned with the tread of the screw on the bolt and revolved to movably connect to position.

The unit is then tested for push pull motion from and to the brick wall. Should a full refuse package become stuck within the main body of the system, the whole unit is turned un side down, bases over apex so as to permit the obstruction to free itself and fall in to the bin. The system, revolving on the screw bolt 107 is then rotated back into normal position as required. To eliminate draughts, a large endless india rubber seal is glued around the outer back edges of the back panel and a smaller seal around the opening within the back panel which communicates with the aperture 109 in the brick wall 17. Thus, when the system is pushed forward in to its engaged position, the said rubber seals becomes depressed and a weather proof seal is then formed. It should be clearly seen that this description relates to one method of vertically adjusting and wall traversing the system, and any other method will be used where appropriate, and will be operated either manually, electronically or in any other way as appropriately desired.

When fixed to a brick or concrete wall in a main street for example, the main receptacle canopy can be removed so that just a slidable flat plate locates in closed position at the bottom of the main shaft. The cuneiforn onarculum or lid has the back panel section thereof removed, and the said lid can be fixed to the top of the main pillar section in revers position. Thus a gap exists into which either litter or possible mail can be so deposited for collection, to thus form a pillar box.

The horizontally locked shuttle plate at the bottom of the shaft would be unlocked so as to access the contents. By withdrawing the said plate, as in normal use, the content s therein are permitted to fall freely into a mail bag or rubbish receptacle.

Standing self supportingly with the canopy fixed to the base in leisure parks and other areas of public recreational interest for example. The cuneiform operculum would remain removably fixed to the main pillar section, so that the litter would then be placed is place 1 through a gap in either of the side panels for example. In such case, the operculum or where the system is made larger, the hoarding of the the panel sections of the main pillar would easily incorporate high technology, digital display signs for directions or other data on which people could rely.

The types of plastics available are many and veriel and as such any future polymer chemical developments and modern will be used where appropriate.

High performance ABS an d thermoplastic resins, Polyoropylene filled grades, high performance acrylics, UPVC for base metal structures, flame retariant PVC, Glass bead or fibre chemically coupled supertough elastomer modified mixed glass fibre and flame retardant mineral and talc filled compomds, will at least be used for the plastic injected moulded parts of the system.

High grade , high performance plas tics will e specia lly be util i sed where the system is to be used in equatorial, sub arctic and polar regions. The super plastics will be capable of enduring ultra violet rays and extreme neat temperatures well in excess of 33 degrees centigrade, and temperatures of 32 degrees fahrenhei t and below in polar regions, and arctic sub zero climate 3 for example. ABS plastics will be used in balanced climates for at least internal aesthetic features of the system and all joints will permit of sufficient expansion and contraction to allow for thermal movement. Where specified the systems will be manufactured in carbon fibre, glass reinforced or straight fibre glass, base metals or any other as required. The systems will also be manufactured in fibre glass with layar upon layer of silica gel coatings or other as appropriate to give a bright sheen and durable finish to the units. The said units will also be manufactured in any type of alloy or base metal as required and the trunk section for example can be calendared into single cylindrical sections and the canopies die stamped as appropriate.

Where the systems are to manufactured from steel, and or plastic, as with motor cars for example, the said steel will be fully electro plated and rust proofed. The steel units will be finished in a full range of special, and primary colours to include colour bleeds such as sun burst or other for example including sparkling glitter paint finishes and will be spray painted by layers to give a polished glossy surface. Each unit can be hosed down as would the household motor car for example, for general removal of dust by soapy warm water, or will where requested, be coated with a special protective film so that the system is self cleaning and protected from the environment with a prolonged paint life.

Where after a number of years should the systems require re sprays for example. The customer can contact the factory and the system will be replaced by a courtesy model. The customers unit will be revamped updated, re sprayed, polished returned and refitted. The systems can also be enamelled, laminated, lacquered or varnished as appropriate.

The extension kit in the more slender form comprises a number of panel section of sufficient quantity to reach a first or second floor of a dwelling. Where three or for stories are to be ascended, then three or four cases will be purchased for example. Further box means containing a quantity of couple frames is also purchasable from the factory or retailers, and the sections are or can be installed to link up with the main unit at ground floor level.

A full range of natural hard wood, as well as man made refuse intake panels will be available to match up with any type of modern kitchen interior where appropriate. The plastic bags, as with the inlet door panels will also be contained in suitable packaging and put on sale in retailers stores, or purchased directly from the manufacturer herein. Provisions will be made so that before each customer runs out of the first batch of plastic bags, bag ties or sealing tape.

The customer can contact the factory or bussines premises or vice versa where upon arrangements will be made for further batch quantities of replenishment bag stocks bag ties and sealing tape, and or any other required items, to be forwarded to customers so as to sustain the continual usage of the system and thus maintain the necessary high standards of hygiene. A normal batch of disposer bags would variably comprise 1,090 standard bags, 1,090 half size bags, and 1,090 quarter size bags. Quantity variations will be supplied where appropriate.

A full colour four, six or eight colour process printed catalogue will be made available for customers and potential customers alike. The catalogue will contain a full range of accessories for use with or indirectly with the present invention. As an example, a host of bright colour coordinated dust bins and other receptacles will be made available for maid order as may tae rest of the system.

Also, barbecue accessories, a selection of audio and audio visual equipment, computers, solid or brass and chrome plated, stainless steel, plastic or other type refuse intake panels and casements, kitchen utensils, garden tools, satellite signal receiving dishes, and numerous other items will be made available. A full financial service to include rental facilities will be available to assist customers.

Also separately available is the triple unit which includes the main system and side chute limb sections. The said limb sections can however, be separately purchasable. A full range of spares including elbow type joints, shuttle plates and other parts will also be made available. The systems can be purchased to order so that where the customer wishes to have interchangeable colour coded parts, for example a red canopy with blue body section, this facility will be available.

The micro processor within the oparculum picks this signal up, transmits it to the monitor control panel in the security wing at ground floor level, and in turn, the monitor control panel within thousandths of a second, sends a reciprocative signal to all refuse intake control panels at each floor level or story of the block. Thus, the system acts as a block system so that only one or so full bags of refuse can free fall through the system to avoid blockages.

As the beam is breached, the reciprocating signal locks each of the refuse intake panels until the pile shafts are free from obstructions. As an alternative, infra red break beans can be located approximately 1 metre below each wall chute outlet, to pass horizontally across from the back panels for example, to the front. Again using the block system to avoid obstructions.

It should be clearly seen that the block system is just one example and normally the system when fitted to tall multi occupant buildings will be of such dimension as take any amount of was e at one time.

Further, at peak meal times for example, the sliding shut off plates at each floor or story can close off automatically, activated by an electronic time switch mechanism by moons so that the numerouse waste packages do not clog up the syste. When the each level of the system is full, or after 2 given time period, the sliding shut off plates slide open, again activated by the time switch and the waste falls as a column into the industrial skip or receptacle below.

When fitting the system to sky scrapers for example, the use of cradles or similar wall scaling means can be dangerous due to high wind gusts at such heights. The system would therefore, as a second method, be winched uo using 3 metre lengths for example, coupled together by the couple framar as described.

On architecturally specified tall structures,

recesses would be incorporated for such use. The winch is fixed to the top of the sky scraper and the steel cord lowered to the ground.

The cord attaches to a strong ring cleat fixed to the top or the first pile shaft section and the winch lifts the said section to its vertical axis. The winch ie then stopped whilst a couple frame is attached to the tail thereof by locking hinges, and the next pile shaft section is then connected to the couple frame. Again being locked tight by the loc hinges. The winch is activated again and the interlocked section rise accordingly. This is repeated until the sky scraper has been scaled.

The above un numbered inventions and applications are described in the broadest terms possible and as such, encompass all or any variations relating to such inventions and applications entirely.

The apparatus is not strictly confined to the disposal of waste and as such will be used where appropriate in agriculture. the plastics industry, flour milling and brewing, military usages,mining, water, gas, aviation shinning and any other industrywhere the apparatus or system can be employed.
