Abstract

The waste bin comprises a collapsible cardboard box (6) with open top and bottom which supports the rubbish bag (3). A rigid plastic lid (4) with a central opening (9) keeps the box in shape and holds the bag in place.

Description

The present invention relates to the technique of waste collectors.

currently known waste collectors, are composed of a receptacle with smooth walls forming the bottom and the periphery. An upper element, with opening for the passage of the waste covers this receptacle. body of the waste receptacle is often a single piece of molded plastic.

Emptying the collector requires turning the receptacle over or placing a second container inside, such as a garbage bag. In this case, the entire garbage bag must be lifted to a height greater than the receptacle top to remove it. In addition, known waste collectors with a receptacle made of plastic or metallic material have the drawback of being rigid and of keeping the entire operating volume in the stowed position. Hence loss of space.

replacing elements made of rigid materials with elements made of flexible materials presents the difficulty of having a collector which would collapse as long as it was not filled and did not retain its shape suitable for receiving waste.

the more the smooth walls make handling and transport difficult. waste collector according to the invention overcomes disadvantages.

The subject of the present invention is a waste collector comprising a deformable body, typically made of cardboard, serving as support for a garbage bag, a rigid element forming the top serving to keep the shape of the body in the trash fixed.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge on reading the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example and with reference to the appended drawing in which FIG. shows an exploded view of a waste collector according to the invention. As illustrated in the figure, the waste collector 1 comprising a deformable cardboard body serving as support for a trash bag 3. The collector also comprises a rigid element 4 forming the top and serving to keep the body shape 2 and the trash bag fixed 3 in said body 2.

The trash bag support body 3, although deformable, is made of rigid cardboard, rectangular shape, open at its lower 5 upper 6 ends. Body 2 has openings 7 in the form of a handle situated on opposite sides. It is foldable flat for storage along the edges 8. The element forming the top is a substantially rectangular frame 4 of plastic material comprising an opening 9 for the passage of waste whose shape follows the interior of the deformable body 2 at the upper opening and whose corners 10 are bevelled. The frame 4 has an outer rim 1 corresponding to the thickness of the deformable cardboard body 2 and serving to hold the frame 4 on the deformable body 2 as well as the trash bag 3 in the event of short displacement by pressure simultaneously on the frame 4 and the handles To change a trash bag 3, simply remove the top element then lift the cardboard body 2. The trash bag remains in place and separated from the collector 1.

In order to move the collector 1, it is sufficient to lift it by the handles holding the top element 4.

In order to store the collector 1, the top element 4 will be removed, then the cardboard body 2 will be folded along the edges 8 and stored.

Although the invention has been described in connection with particular structures, it is in no way limited to it and many variations can be made.

The combinations of the various embodiments shown in the drawing or described above in no way depart from the scope of the present invention.

The reference signs inserted after the technical characteristics mentioned in the claims have the sole purpose of facilitating the understanding of the latter and in no way limit their scope.

Claims (4)

CLAIMS. 1. Waste collector (1) comprising a deformable body (6), typically made of cardboard, serving as a support for a garbage bag (3) and a rigid element (4) forming the top serving to keep the shape of the body fixed (2 ) and the trash bag (3) in said body (2). 2. Waste collector (1) according to the preceding claim, in which the garbage bag support (3) is the deformable body (2) of rigid cardboard, of rectangular shape, open at its lower (5) and upper (6) ends. ), with openings (7) in the form of a handle located on opposite sides, and foldable flat for storage. 3. Waste collector (1) according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the element forming the top a frame (4) substantially rectangular of plastic material comprising opening (9) for waste whose shape matches the interior of the body deformable (2) at the upper opening (6) and whose corners (10) are bevelled. 4. Waste collector (1) according to the preceding claim, wherein the frame has an outer rim (11) corresponding to the thickness of the deformable cardboard body (2) and serving to hold the frame (4) on the deformable body (6) as well as the trash bag (3) in the event of a short movement by pressing simultaneously on the frame (4) and the handles (7).
