Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a trash container for use with handle bags.
  • the invention further relates to a trash-containing assembly comprising such container.
  • Trash containers are known to generally comprise a receptacle having a side wall closed by a bottom wall to define a chamber for a bag, which is designed to contain trash and prevent it from contacting the receptacle.
  • bags are engaged with the container by simply folding them back onto the top edge. If the bags have handles, i.e. are of so-called "T-shirt” type, such handles are left outside the container, without being engaged therewith.
  • such containers typically have a handle attached to the top edge of the container.
  • Such handle is bulky and difficult to handle, wherefore the container can be only grasped in a poorly hygienic and difficult manner.
  • the object of this invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing a trash container that is highly efficient and relatively cost-effective.
  • a particular object is to provide a trash container that can both be grasped by a user in an easy and hygienic manner and provide engagement for the bag handles.
  • a further object is to provide a trash container that can be easily fabricated by molding.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a trash container that allows easy storage and stacking.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide a trash containing assembly that uses such trash container.
  • a trash container for use with handle bags as defined in claim 1, and by a trash containing assembly as defined in claim 10.
  • the trash container of the invention consists of a receptacle 2 with a side wall 3 closed by a bottom wall 4 to define a chamber V for holding and supporting a handle-type bag 5, of the type known in the market as "t-shirt bag", i.e. having carrying handles 6, 6'.
  • a lid 7 may be provided, for connection to the receptacle 2 by hinge means 8.
  • the side wall 3 of the receptacle 2 has a pair of inward recesses extending from opposite sides 9, 9'.
  • the recesses 10, 10' are defined by outer peripheral edges 11, 11' with respective downward appendices 12, 12' extending therefrom.
  • the appendices 12, 12' allow both the container 2 to be hygienically grasped by a user and the handles of a bag 5 to be engaged therewith.
  • the handles 6, 6' of the bag 5 may be introduced in the gaps 13, 13' between the rear faces 14, 14' of the appendices 12, 12' and the front surfaces 15, 15' of the recesses 10, 10', whereas the rest of the bag 5 may be introduced into the chamber V of the receptacle 2, as shown in Figures 1 , 3 and 9 , in which the bag 5 is outlined by dashed lines.
  • each of the recesses 10, 10' may have a substantially elongate shape, extending along an axis X, X' parallel to the side wall 3. Furthermore, the appendices 12, 12' may be located in the vicinity of the top end 16, 16' of each recess.
  • the elongate appendices 12, 12' may further have a substantially rounded outer peripheral area, to prevent user injury and damages to the bag handles.
  • each of the recesses 10, 10' may extend in the vertical direction substantially to the bottom wall 4 of the receptacle 2.
  • the recesses 10, 10' may also have a slightly upwardly decreasing cross section, for easier stacking of multiple containers.
  • the receptacle 2 will be fabricated by molding of a polymeric material selected from the group comprising polyethylene, polypropylene, ABS, polycarbonate, polyamides.
  • each of the appendices 12, 12' may be substantially coplanar or slightly recessed relative to the side wall 3 of the receptacle 2.
  • the appendices 12, 12' may be integral with the side wall 3 of the receptacle 2 and may operably formed of one piece therewith.
  • the trash can 1 may have the side wall 3 and/or the bottom wall 4 substantially continuous and unperforated.
  • the side wall 3 and/or the bottom wall 4 may have a plurality of through apertures 18 for improved ventilation of the contents of the receptacle 2. These apertures 18 may be also formed in the lid 7, if any.
  • the bag 5 may be formed from an air-permeable polymeric material, and may be preferably entirely made of it, and be of such a size as to be held and supported in the receptacle 2 at a predetermined distance d from the bottom wall 4 thereof.
  • This configuration of the can 1 - bag 5 assembly allows effective treatment of organic waste.
  • the apertures 18 formed in the receptacle 2, in addition to the air permeability of the bag, will prevent the organic waste stored in the bin from emitting foul smells, which is a serious problem especially when organic waste is collected in indoor environments, such as households.
  • the weight of the organic waste will be also considerably reduced due to loss of humidity.
  • the receptacle 2 may be equipped with a plurality of support feet 19. Particularly, in the second embodiment of the container 1, such feature will further improve ventilation in the assembly between the container 1 and the bag 5.
  • the trash container for handle bags of the invention fulfills the intended objects and particularly meets the requirement of allowing both easy and hygienic grasp thereof by a user and engagement of the bag handles.
  • the trash container of this invention is susceptible of a number of changes and variants, within the inventive concept disclosed in the appended claims. All the details thereof may be replaced by other technically equivalent parts, and the materials may vary depending on different needs.
