Abstract
The retaining collar is seated on the upper edge of a container and has the same shape as the upper edge. The collar has a pair of side walls between which the upper edge is accommodated. The upper margin of a liner is also accommodated between the side walls of the collar.
The collar is composed of resiliently deformable material such that when the upper edge of the container and the upper margin of the liner are between the side walls of the collar, the side walls resiliently and releasably secure the liner to the container.

Description
This invention relates to containers having inner liners and more particularly to a container suitable for holding organic matter in a leak-proof disposable bag within the container.
Plastic containers are generally used in a kitchens to hold compost and other organic matter. The containers are usually closed to confine objectionable odours from the organic matter within the container and usually contain disposable liners for the organic matter to facilitate easy disposal.
Liquid may leak from disposable liners unless the liners are properly attached within the containers. To avoid leakage, the entire mouth of the liner must be attached to the rim or top edge of the container. If the perimeter of the m.outh is less than the perimeter of the top edge, some portion of the mouth of the liner will not be attached to the container and liquid may leak from there. If the perimeter of the mouth of the liner is larger than the length of the top edge of the container, leakage may occur from portions of the mouth not attached to the top edge of the container.
I have invented means for attaching a liner within a container so that leakage of liquid from the liner is minimized even if the mouth of the liner is larger than the perimeter of the rom of the container. My invention consists of a retaining collar which extends along the entire top edge or rim of a container. The entire top margin of the liner is confined within the retaining collar whether it is the same length as the top edge or rim or larger. The collar is removably attached to the container by resilient deformation of the collar in the same manner as attachment of two components by a conventional snap fastener.
Briefly, the retaining collar of my invention has a top wall which is adapted to be seated on the upper edge or rim of a container and which follows the contours of the upper edge. The retaining collar is provided with a pair of outer and inner side walls which extend downwardly from the top wall and which are separated from one another by a space which is adapted to receive both the upper edge of the container and the top margin of the liner.
The side walls are composed of resiliently deformable material such that the space between the side walls expands to receive the upper edge and top margin of the liner and releasably retain them within the space.
The retaining collar of the invention is described in detail with reference to the accom-panying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the retaining collar in conjunction with an open container;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the retaining collar and the container when closed;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the retaining collar;
Figure 4 is an elevation of the retaining collar on line 4-4 of Figure 3; and

Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the description of the drawings.
With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the subject retaining collar, generally 10, is shown attached to the upper edge or rim of a container 12 which is of conventional construction except for a latch 14 which is described below. The rim is in the shape of an oval but it may be other shapes such as circular, square and rectangular.
A lid 16 is interconnected by a hinge 18 to the container. The container has a handle 20 which, when the container is not being carried, is angled downward as illustrated but swings upward for use. A conventional disposable liner 26 is disposed within the container, typically for compost, fruits and vegetables. The liner has an upper margin 26a which overlaps the upper edge of the container and which defines the mouth of the liner.
With reference to Figures 3 and 4, the retaining collar is seated on the upper edge or rim of the container and follows its contour. The collar has a top wall 30 which is seated on the upper edge while outer and inner side walls 32, 34, respectively, extend downwardly from the top wall.
The side walls are located adjacent to the outer and inner vertical walls respectively of the container. The space 36 between the two side walls is slightly less than the thickness of the vertical wall 38 of the container.

The side walls are located adjacent to the outer and inner vertical walls respectively of the container. The space 36 between the two side walls is slightly less than the thickness of the vertical wall 38 of the container.
3 The retaining collar is composed of resiliently deformable material and deforms slightly to fit over the upper edge or rim of the container and remains snugly attached to it. It also deforms slightly more when the top margin of the liner is wrapped over the upper edge as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2. The retaining collar accordingly secures the liner to the container until the side walls of the retaining collar are separated sufficiently to allow the retaining collar to be removed from the container. Since the retaining collar is resiliently deformable, lifting the retaining collar relative to the container will cause the side walls of the collar to separate so that the collar can be removed from the container. The collar is designed so that only a slight upward force is sufficient to separate the two.
With reference to Figures 1-3 and 5, a gap 40 is formed in the outer side wall of the retaining collar to receive a plate 42 for pivotal connection of the handle 20 to the container. A
larger gap 44 is also formed in the outer side wall to accommodate hinge 18. A
tab 48 extends downwardly from the side of the remaining collar opposite gap 44 to hold the liner flat against the front wall of the container opposite the hinge.
With reference to Figures 1 and 2, latch 14 is provided in the front wall of the container.
The latch consists of a lever 50 which is attached to handle 52 of the lid and swings upward to engage the upper edge of the container. The lever, when engaged to the container applies

The latch consists of a lever 50 which is attached to handle 52 of the lid and swings upward to engage the upper edge of the container. The lever, when engaged to the container applies
4 downward pressure on the handle and causes the lid to bend downward to close or substantially close the gap between the lid and the upper edge of the container. In the absence of the latch, there is a gap because of the additional height of the rim resulting from the retaining collar. The latch accordingly functions to reduce the odour from the contents of the liner that escape through the gap.
It will be understood, of course, that modifications can be made in the structure of the subject retaining collar without departing from the scope and purview of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
