Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a holder for wastedisposal bag as described in the preamble of claim 1 which is designed to be installed in a confined space, such as the interior of a passenger automobile, so as normally to protrude but slightly from a wall or other support on which it is mounted.
  • the bag holder disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3 841 592 comprises a circular hoop designed to engage the open end of a bag and hinged to a supporting bracket so as to be swingable between a substantially vertical depending position and a substantially horizontal utilization position. In the latter position, a cover normally overlying the hoop can be lifted off to give access to the bag.
  • a more refined version of such a bag holder, adapted to be installed in an automotive vehicle, is the subject matter of Austrian Patent No. 360427.
  • the holder described in this Austrian Patent comprises a rectangular frame articulated to a mounting bracket and provided with a generally rectangular lid biased by a torsion spring into a closure position in which it is in all-around contact with the frame.
  • An edge portion of the lid projects in this closure position beyond the frame and can be pushed by finger pressure.to swing the frame from its depending position into its utilization position in which that frame is arrested by the mounting bracket.
  • finger pressure then lifts the lid off the frame, against the force of the torsion spring, in order to give access to the upwardly facing open end of a bag suspended from a rectangular or square insert within the frame.
  • the mounting bracket preferably consists of aluminum while the frame, the insert and the lid are made of plastic material.
  • Indexing pins serving to retain the insert in the frame are described as metallic. Also shown as metallic is a throughgoing horizontal shaft which traverses an enlargement of the lid and serves as a fulcrum for the latter. The patent does not indicate by what means, if any, this shaft is prevented from accidentally sliding out of the holes in the sidewalls of the frame in which its ends are presumably received. Nor is it apparent how the torsion spring is anchored to the lid since only a stud on one of the sidewalls, engaged by a leg of that spring, has been illustrated.
  • the general object of my invention is to provide an improved bag holder of the type described and shown in the aboveidentified WO Patent.
  • a more particular object is to provide simple and reliable means for articulating a lid of such a holder to its frame without the need for a throughgoing metallic shaft but only with elements molded from plastic material.
  • the lid covering the pivoted frame of the holder is provided with a pair of hinge pins of resilient material projecting through respective holes in the sidewalls of the frame and defining a horizontal swing axis for that lid, one of these hinge pins being rigid with the lid while the other hinge pin traverses a bore in a lug of the lid projecting into the interior of the frame in the vicinity of one sidewall.
  • the latter hinge pin has a barb and a head which bear upon opposite sides of the lug penetrated thereby for substantially immobilizing this pin relatively thereto.
  • the lid and the frame can be easily assembled and could also be separated again with repression of the barb but will normally remain connected in the face of the various kinds of shock to which such a device may be subjected when installed in an automotive vehicle.
  • the insert designed to engage the bag comes to rest against internal abutments of the frame, helping to hold the engaged bay in place, upon being introduced into the frame from the bottom- thereof (as viewed in the utilization position), the insert being preferably indexed within the frame with the aid of at least two integral protuberances on each major side of its rectangular outline which are receivable in respective peripheral depressions of the frame.
  • the abutments advantageously, are pronglike downward extensions of an inner peripheral ledge of the frame which also serves as an anchor for one of the legs of a torsion spring that is wound about the barbed hinge pin and biases the lid into its closure position.
  • Fig. 1 is a front-elevational view (parts broken away) of a bag holder according to my present invention, shown in its depending or withdrawn position ;
  • a single-handedly flippable bag holder according to my invention, generally designated 10, whose major constituents are a mounting bracket 11, a rectangular frame 12 pivoted this bracket for swinging about a horizontal pivotal axis, a lid 13 articulated to frame 12, and a rectangular insert 14 removably indexed in frame 12 in order to retain therein a waste-disposal bag 15 partly indicated in phantom lines in Figs 1-3. All these parts are made of a somewhat resilient plastic material such as polypropylene, for example.
  • Bracket 11 is shown provided with an adhesive strip 16 by which it can be bonded onto a supporting wall shown shematically at W in Fig. 3, e. g. a door or a dashboard of a passenger car.
  • Additional fastening means include several screws 17 (only one shown) adapted to be threaded into that wall.
  • the pivotal connection between frame 12 and bracket 11 comprises a pair of pintles 18 and 19 molded integral with the frame, these pintles being received in two horizontally aligned holes of cheeks 11 a, 11 b of the bracket.
  • a certain axial separation of cheek 11a from an adjoining sidewall 12a of frame 12 enables that frame to be detached from bracket 11 upon a relative leftward shift, as viewed in Fig. 1, against the force of a resilient tongue 20 which laterally projects from frame 12 and bears upon cheek 11a.
  • This feature is known per se from the above-identified Austrian Patent and, therefore, is not part of my present invention.
  • Lid 13 is provided with two hinge pins 21 and 22, parallel to pintles 18 and 19, which pass through horizontally aligned holes in sidewalls 12a, 12b of frame 12 to define a horizontal swing axis for that lid paralleling the pivotal axis of the frame defined by the two pintles.
  • Hinge pin 21 is rather short and rigid with lid 13 whereas hinge pin 22 is considerably longer and passes through two somewhat elongated apertures 27, 28, aligned with two holes in sidewalls 12a, 12b, which are formed in a pair of lugs 23, 24 integral with the lid ; these lugs project into the interior of frame 12 in the vicinity of its sidewall 12b as seen in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • FIG. 1 shows the hinge pin 22 in full lines in its working position and in phantom lines in a retracted positon in which it enables the. lid 13 to be tilted sufficiently to let the other hinge pin 21 be extracted from sidewall 12a.
  • Pin 22 as more clearly shown in Fig. 4, has a head formed by lateral bosses 22a and further has a barb 22b which is biased outward at an acute angle so as to adjoin the solid portion of lug 23 when the pin is inserted into that lug from the left as viewed in Fig. 1.
  • Ledge 26 aside from serving as an anchor for torsion spring 25, is provided with a plurality of peripherally spaced prongs 26b which act as abutments for insert 14 when the latter is resiliently retained inside frame 12 with the aid of peripheral protuberances 14a receivable in depressions 12c of frame 12 as seen in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • This insert which is also frame-shaped, is symmetrical about a midplane including its rectangular outline (i. e. a plane which is vertical in the position of Fig. 2 and horizontal in the position of Fig. 3) so that it can be indifferently introduced, along with a new bag, from below into the leveled frame 12 (Fig.
  • lid 13 has a forward edge portion 13a projecting beyond the frame 12 to let the user (e. g. the driver of a car) engage the lid with one finger in the depending position of Figs. 1 and 2 for flipping the frame 12 into its utilization position of Fif. 3 and, by continuing finger pressure as indicated by an arrow A in Fig. 3, extend the clockwise swing of the lid 13 to expose the mouth of bag 15 as the frame 12 is arrested by a stop 11 c of bracket 11.
  • the user e. g. the driver of a car
