Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for separating and accumulating different matters, the apparatus comprising or being adapted to receive at least a first and a second receptacle, and comprising an opening and a movable element splitting the opening area into a plurality of areas to define a first inlet associated with the first receptacle and a second inlet associated with the second receptacle. The moving element can be moved in one direction to enlarge the first inlet while reducing the second inlet and moved in the opposite direction to enlarge the second inlet while reducing the first inlet.
Claims19
An apparatus for separate accumulation of different matters, the apparatus comprising at least a first and a second receptacle, an opening and a movable element splitting the opening area into a plurality of areas to define a first inlet associated with the first receptacle and a second inlet associated with the second receptacle, whereby the moving element is movable in one direction to enlarge the first inlet while reducing the second inlet and movable in the opposite direction to enlarge the second inlet while reducing the first inlet.
An apparatus for separate accumulation of different matters and adapted to receive a first and a second collapsible receptacles, said apparatus comprising i) a ring defining a peripheral member and a center opening and ii) a movable element mounted to said peripheral member and movable thereabout, said movable element comprising connecting means to attach portions of the first and second receptacles thereto and being movable between a first position wherein an inlet of the first receptacle is larger than an inlet of the second receptacle and a second position wherein the inlet of the second receptacle is larger than the inlet of the first receptacle.
An apparatus for separate accumulation of different matters, said apparatus comprising a rigid enclosure defining an opening and adapted to receive a first and a second collapsible receptacles, a cover adapted to be mounted on the enclosure to close the opening, the cover defining a peripheral member and comprising a lid pivotally and slidebly connected to the peripheral member to provide access to the opening, the lid comprising means for attaching portions of the first and second receptacles thereto, whereby sliding the lid with respect to the peripheral member increases the size of an inlet of the first receptacle while decreasing the size of an inlet of the second receptacle.
