Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure means for bags, in particular waste bags, comprising two half-elements each with a first and a second edge spaced apart in the axial direction and with a wall extending in the axial direction between the first and the second edge, and wherein the half-elements are hinged to one another are connected and complement each other in a ring-like manner in a first position and are pivotable about the hinges in a second position so that the half-elements come to rest with their first edge, and locking elements are provided that lock the half-elements in the second position.
  • Such closure means have a first and a second edge, the first edge being the upper edge in use, which defines the actual opening for a user. If a bag or waste bag with such a closure means is used, the bag or waste bag is passed through the interior of the closure means in the area of its open end and this area of the bag or waste bag is folded over the first edge of the closure means. The bag or rubbish bag overlaps the first edge of the closure means from the inside to the outside.
  • the bag or waste bag is preferably fixed in an elastic and / or plastic manner with deformation.
  • the opening of the bag or garbage bag can be kept open securely, so that soiling of the opening area of a bag or garbage bag held in this way can be better avoided. Avoidance of contamination is particularly desirable in the case of contents, in particular waste, which are then to be sealed safely and without contact.
  • the WO 2009/021268 A1 describes a closure means according to the preamble of claim 1, namely a disposable waste container for use in ambulances, hospitals, but also for travel applications, comprising a waste bag and a closure means.
  • the application describes various ways of closing the bag.
  • it is known from the prior art to provide a design in which a twisted waste bag is also hooked into a notch.
  • it is described to provide a film hinge in the area of the first edge and a breakable connection in the area of the second edge, so that the two half-elements can be folded together in the direction of each other and thus relief of the waste bag guided over the closure means and thus removal same.
  • closure means in such a way that the two half-elements come to rest on top of one another and are locked to one another by means of closure elements.
  • the closure means of this type known from the prior art are often difficult to grasp, that is to say unwieldy. It was also found that the two half-elements can often only be folded and locked using both hands. However There are often situations in which the user or the person giving a bag equipped with such a closure means does not have both hands available.
  • the invention achieves this object by a closure means for bags, in particular garbage bags of the type mentioned at the beginning, whereby the invention provides that at least one half-element in the area of the first edge has at least one indentation pointing inward in the radial direction and / or starting at least one half-element has at least one recess extending in the axial direction from the second edge.
  • the closure means is advantageously designed to be ergonomically manageable within a per se continuous course of a half element, which also reduces the effort required to guide the closure from the first position to the second position causes.
  • the indentations pointing inward in the radial direction serve to grip the closure means on the one hand when using such a closure means for a bag, in particular a waste bag during use, wherein the bag, in particular a waste bag, can be held on the closure means and fingers can engage in the indentations and so improve the hold.
  • these indentations which can serve as recessed grips, also serve to facilitate the transfer of the closure means from the first to the second position, since this provides points of application for the fingers of one hand.
  • At least two, more preferably at least three and more preferably four indentations can be provided on a half element.
  • the indentations can have different sizes and numbers depending on the desired ergonomic aspect.
  • the recess which extends axially from the second edge, is used in particular to enable the closure means to be gripped from the underside and, in particular, to hold the hand and guide the hand in an ergonomic manner when moving from the first to the second position and when bringing it together of closure elements, for example when inserting locking lugs into corresponding openings. Closing the two half-elements to one another and locking the two half-elements together is thus significantly facilitated.
  • These recesses serve in particular to enable after a first gripping and holding of the closure means by fingers in the area of the first edge during use, and then a safe transfer from the first to the second position and locking with the least possible effort.
  • the reduction in the height of the wall of the half-element introduced with a recess enables, depending on the design, that the closure means can be easily manipulated with one hand.
  • the recesses can have different sizes and numbers depending on the desired ergonomic aspect.
  • the first edge is the upper edge of the closure means that defines the actual opening.
  • the second edge is the boundary of the wall opposite the first edge.
  • ring-like is to be understood as a design in which the two half-elements complement each other, including a cavity, which they enclose in the manner of a jacket or sleeve.
  • the ring-like design can have a round or oval shape. Any other shapes are also conceivable in which the edges and / or walls can be curved and / or straight and in which the edges or walls can be designed with kinks / corners or without them.
  • the shape of the first edge can differ from the shape of the second edge when viewed from above in the axial direction.
  • the shape of the wall that connects the two edges can also deviate from the shape of one or both edges when viewed from above in the axial direction.
