Abstract
A lid construction having lid flaps (7, 8) is proposed for compost boxes (1, 2) which are serviced by shovel loaders, said lid construction ensuring improved hygiene for the environment due to a peripheral seal (9, 10), and re-supplying the condensate to its place of origin as a result of a structured cover-layer material (20) having ridge-like elevations (22, 23) with a grid structure on the ceiling of the semi-permeable tarpaulin, and thus improving the humidity retention and the quality of the compost.
Claims10
A lid for enclosing and covering compost in boxes (1, 2) in the form of a bridge-like cover, which rests on a rear wall (5), a partition wall (6), and box-door flaps (3, 4) and preferably comprises lid flaps (7, 8) which can be swung open and closed and comprise at least one lid frame (7′, 8′), a covering layer of breathable tarpaulin (21) and an actuating means, characterised in that the lid frame (7′, 8′) has a preferably peripheral seal (9, 10) and the actuating means (24 to 42) is constructed such that it optionally serves to open the lid flaps (7, 8) or close them in sealed manner.
