METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTION OF NEWSPAPERS FOR RECYCLING
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the method embodied in the present invention, a collection module may be placed in each residence or a number of collection modules may be placed at business establishments for collection of newspapers and other paper products. Each of the collection modules may be in the form of a container having a bottom surface of the size and configuration of typical newspapers. The containers may also incorporate means for retaining binding materials that may be utilized after collection of a suitable amount of newspaper to bind the newspaper into a stabilized bundle that will now become separated during mechanized handling. The container may also be provided with indicia defining markings that reflect the height of the stack of newspaper in the form of weight and which indicia includes a specific marking to indicate the maximum dimension of the stack of bundle of newsprint being collected. For example, the depositor may accumulate newspapers in the container until the level of newspapers reaches the top of the container or an indicia marking indicating that the stack of newspaper is of proper size. When newspaper has been accumulated to define an appropriately sized bundle, the binding mate rial may be utilized to secure the bundle of paper into unitary assembly. The bound bundle of paper may then be transported manually to a collection center where the bundle is accumulated along with other bundles in a collection and storage module pending subsequent transportation to a newspaper recycling facility or regional collection center. The collection and storage module may be provided with a newspaper bundle receiving window within which may be provided weight and/or height inspecting apparatus that insures that the bundle is of proper size and configuration to be handled by mechanized equip ment that accumulates and transports bundles of news paper. Apparatus at the newspaper bundle collection and storage center may incorporate a vending module incorporating the newspaper bundle receiving window and also incorporating a vending window that may be utilized by the depositor for receiving a redeemable coupon, voucher, ticket or the like that may be appropriately marked for entitling the depositor to remuneration based upon the weight of the newspaper delivered and accepted by the newspaper bundle collection apparatus. The newspaper bundle will be placed in the newspaper bundle receiving window of the apparatus and inspected both for proper weight and dimension and, if the bundle is of proper size and weight, the vending module will transfer the bundle to the storage module and issue compensation as well as additional binding material to the depositor. A counter on the vending module will indicate the number of bundles placed in the storage module. When the storage module is full (or at regular intervals) the storage module and its contents may be removed and an empty module may be substituted therefor. The bound newspaper bundles then may be transmitted to a regional collection center or to a recycling facility. As the newspaper bundle is inserted through the receiving window of the vending module, it will be placed on a loading plate which rests upon a spring or other suitable weighing device and which is attached to a base plate. A light source activates a light receiver and is utilized to determine whether the height of the bundle is within proper limits for handling by the mechanized bundle handling system. If the bundle is of a height such that it interrupts a light beam between the light source and receiver, the bundle may be accepted by the vending module. If the bundle is of incorrect height or weight, it is rejected. If accepted, the compensation in the form of an appropriately marked ticket will be issued to the depositor through the vending window of the vending module and additional binding material will also be transmitted along with the compensation ticket. When the newspaper bundle is of proper weight and height, a motor is activated moving a conveyor that transports the loading plate and the newspaper bundle supported thereby, transporting them to the storage module. The loading plate, responsive to switch actuation of the motorized control for the loading plate will return to its position at the receiving window of the vending module and deenergize the power circuitry of the apparatus until the inspection circuitry is again activated for inspection of a subsequent paper bundle. The apparatus will stack the bundle in orderly manner within a storage module or on a pallet and the storage module or pallet will be transported to a recycling or central storage facility at intervals, being replaced by an empty storage module or pallet. In the alternative, the bundles may be loosely deposited within a storage module which will be separated from other apparatus at a collection center and transported to a recycling facility, being replaced with an empty storage module so that collection can be continuous.
OPERATION
A newspaper accumulation or collection module may be provided for the individual newspaper subscriber or at business establishments. The subscriber will place used newspapers in the accumulation module or con tainer and when it is full or when the height of the stack of newspaper within the container reaches a predeter mined level, the subscriber will bind the bundle of newspaper with the binding elements such as tape, heavy string or the like and will remove it from its con tainer for transportation to a collection and storage fa cility. It is considered that storage facilities will be rather small and may be located at places frequented regularly by large numbers of newspaper subscribers. It is considered that parking lots of food stores, shopping centers and the like will be practical places for location of newspaper bundle collection and storage apparatus. The subscriber will take his bundle of used newspa pers to a collection center and will deposit it in the newspaper bundle collection machine. The machine will accept a bundle of proper size and weight and issue compensation to the subscriber as well as issuing new binding material. The compensation may be in the form of trading stamps, cash or a discount coupon redema ble at a retail establishment. It is expected that retail stores will redeem such discount coupons thereby al lowing the depositor to quickly convert the cash value of the discount coupon at commercial locations that are visited frequently. The newspaper bundle collection machine of the present invention consists of an inspection and vending module that may be inter?tted in any suitable manner with the storage module. The newspaper bundle will be placed in the newspaper bundle receiving window and if the bundle is of proper size and weight, the vending module will transfer the bundle to the storage module and activate the vending apparatus for issuance of com pensation and binding material to the depositor. A counting device that is provided on the vending module will indicate the number of bundles placed in the stor age module. When it is full or at regular intervals the storage module and its contents will be removed and an empty module substituted in its place. The bundled newspapers will then be transported to a regional col~ lection center or recycling plant. With regard to operation of the paper bundle inspec tion and storage apparatus, one or more of the light beams between the light sources and light receivers will be interrupted when a newspaper bundle is placed on the loading plate. The compression spring that supports the loading plate in the receiving thereof will be de pressed by the weight of the bundle, thereby causing the appropriate one of the light beams to be interrupted when the bundle is of proper height and weight. Wheen a bundle of sufficient weight is placed on the loading plate, the spring will be depressed activating the switch contacts 50 and 52 thereby giving a signal which is con sidered along with the signal provided by the light sources. The bundle will be accepted if it is of proper height and weight. If it has incorrect weight or height it will be rejected. When newspaper bundles are accepted, the electric motor 67 is activated through appropriate control cir cuitry and movement is imparted to the conveyor mechanism 62 causing the conveyor to transport paper bundles into the storage module. A microswitch 69 that is disposed at the extremity of the conveyor mechanism will be activated when the paper bundle clears the con veyor 62 and when this occurs, the direction of the motor 67 will be reversed and the conveyor will again move the loading plate 46 back to the position illus trated in FIG. 5. The electric motor will be deenergized at this particular position and the mechanism will re main dormant until inspection of a subsequent paper bundle is desired. The depositor after placing the paper bundle on the loading plate of the machine will simply depress a sequence button 47 connected to an appro priate electrical contactor that will energize the control circuitry of the apparatus. The height and weight of the paper bundle will be automatically inspected and if ac cepted, the conveyor mechanism will be automatically energized conveying the bundle to the storage module. The conveyor mechanism will then return to its starting position and, upon engagement of a microswitch 51 or some other suitable control device, the electrical cir cuitry of the machine will be deenergized and will re main so until the start button 47 is again activated man ually by the depositor. In view of the foregoing it is apparent that the present invention is well adapted to attain all of the objects and advantages hereinabove set forth, together with other objects and advantages that will become obvious and inherent from the description of the apparatus itself. it will be understood that certain combination and sub combinations are of utility and may be employed with out reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated by and is within the scope of the appended claims.
