Then after the trash can ( 1 ) of the present invention is able to stand by 19 itself, the plastic bags (20) are placed inside the cylindrical body (10) of the trash can (1) to be ready for containing therein waste. It is to be noted that the two opposite ears (21) 21 of the plastic bags (20) can be tied into a knot (as shown in the dashed lines in Fig. 3C) 22 for easy carrying of the plastic bag (20) after the plastic bag (20) is full of waste.
23 With reference to Figs. 4, 5, 6 and 7, due to the trash can ( 1 ) being made of 24 cardboard, the body ( 10) of the trash can ( 1 ) of the present invention may be configured 1 into triangular, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal or, circular forms in cross section. , 2 From the above description, it is noted that the trash can of the present invention 3 has the following advantages:
4 1. Minimum storage space Due to the formation of the longitudinal and latitudinal seams (101,102) on the 6 outer periphery of the body ( 10), the trash can ( 10) may be folded to have a compact 7 dimension so that a required storage space is small.
8 2. Recycling 9 Due to the material of the trash can (1), the trash can (1) of the present invention is able to be recycled such that the environment is protected from contamination.
11 3. Portable 12 After having been folded into a compact dimension, the user may easily carry 13 the trash can to wherever necessary.
14 It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, 16 together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is 17 illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, 18 and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent 19 indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
8 2. Description of Related Art 9 Normally, a trash can is made of either metal or plastic and most of the time, a plastic bag is placed inside the trash can so that the interior of the can does not become 11 contaminated by the waste. These trash cans do have the ability to meet all kinds of 12 requirements concerning disposing waste though, due to their fixed dimension and 13 being not decomposed, users often find it hard to dispose of the used trash cans.
14 Furthermore, every time a plastic bag is full and is taken away from the trash can for disposition, a new plastic bag has to be placed inside the trash can, which is quite 16 troublesome.
