GARBAGE TRUCK VACUUM PICK-UP SYSTEM

Abrégé anglais

THE GARBAGE TRUCK VACUUM PICK-UP SYSTEM, is a labor saving
device, used in conjunction with a garbage truck, for the removal of garbage from
residential commercial and industrial establishments. This device provides the
operator with the necessary tools to pickup garbage without assistance, and without
leaving the confines of the drivers cab.

Revendications

CLAIMS
1) With THE GARBAGE TRUCK VACUUM PICK-UP SYSTEM, only one
person is required to operate the truck. (two people are required today).
2) Compensation claims would be greatly reduced if not completely eliminated,
while operating a garbage vehicle.
3) Loss of man hours/days or weeks would be greatly reduced because of health
or sickness related to the environment.
4) Productivity would be greatly increased because, less dwell time is required at
each pickup point.
5) Inclement weather would not be such an important factor as is the case
today.
6) Reduced benefit costs, and also reduced overhead with less manpower
requirements.
7) Existing garbage trucks can easily be retrofitted with THE VACUUM
SYSTEM.
8) All new garbage trucks can be easily outfitted with THE GARBAGE TRUCK
VACUUM PICK-UP SYSTEM.

DISCLOSURE
April 2nd, 1996
THE GARBAGE TRUCK VACUUM PICK-UP SYSTEM, is a labor saving
device, when used with a garbage truck, for the removal of residential, commercial
and industrial waste.
The vacuum hose which is guided by a hydraulic boom has a remote camera
fi~ed to the boom. The camera sends images back to a monitor located in the drivers
compartment.
The driver is able to guide the vacuum nozzle to the desired location by means
of a joy stick (control handle) while observing the monitor. Once the v~ um nozzle
is located over the garbage the suction caused by the v ~ul~m will pickup the pay
load and deliver it to the truck.
An alarm alert system would be activated when the truck is making a pickup.
Once pickup has been completed, the truck boom and vacuum nozzle would be
secured in a locked travel mode. The present system of compacting garbage in thetruck hopper would still be an integral part of the process.
This invention is meant to be retrofitted on all e~i~lh-g g,.. bage trucks and
incorporated into all new trucks being produced.
