Abstract

A litter bin comprises a body portion (1), the upper end of which is provided with a groove portion (2). Hollow lugs (20) are provided on both sides of the body portion (1) and a motor is disposed within one of the hollow lugs (20). The motor (5) is connected to a pinion (51). The upper side of the pinion (51) is meshed with an upper rack (3) and the lower side of the pinion (51) is meshed with a lower rack (4). Two sealing boards (6) connect respectively with the upper rack (3) and the lower rack (4) and are provided with electric heating wires (61). A pedal (11) mounted on lower edge of the body portion (1) controls the motor (5) and the electric heating wire (61). <IMAGE>

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is found that the conventional litter bin is used in association with a plastic bag so as to prevent the litter from making it dirty. However, it is still necessary to tie a knot at the mouth of the plastic bag in order to keep the litter therein and so hands of the user may be dirtied. Further, the knot cannot completely seal the plastic bag and the liquid litter may be flowed out once the plastic bag is inadvertently handled.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a litter bin which may obviate and mitigate the above-mentioned drawbacks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to an improved litter bin.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a litter bin which may automatically seal the mouth of a plastic bag.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a litter bin by means of which the user is not required to tie a knot at the mouth of the litter bag.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a litter bin which may enable the user to be free from dirt.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide a litter bin which is simple in construction.
Other objects and merits and a fuller understanding of the present invention will be obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art when the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a litter bin according to the present invention; FIG. 2 is a front sectional view of the litter bin; and FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of the litter bin.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof,. the litter bin according to the present invention mainly comprises a body portion 1 with a movable groove 2 therearound. On two opposite sides of the body portion 1 there is a hollow lug 20. A mini motor 5 is disposed within at least one of the hollow lug 20 and connected with a pinion 51 at its axle (not shown). The pinion 51 is located within the movable groove 2 and meshed with an upper rack 3 and a lower rack 4 which may be moved along the movable groove 2. The upper rack 3 and the lower rack 4 are respectively connected with a corresponding sealing board 6 at least one of which is provided with electric heating wires 61.A controlling pedal 11 with a micro-switch is provided at the lower edge of the body portion 1 for controlling the motor 5 and the electric heating wires.
As may be seen at FIG. 2, the motor 5 is disposed within the lug 20 with the pinion 51 connected with the upper rack 3 and the lower rack 4 which are located within the movable groove 2 of the body portion 1. The upper rack 3 and the lower rack 4 are connected with a corresponding sealing board 6 so that the board 6 may be moved therewith.
Referring to FIG. 3, when the pinion 51 is rotated clockwise by the motor 5, the upper rack 3 and the lower rack 4 will be driven to go towards each other thereby also moving the sealing boards 6 towards each other. As the controlling pedal 11 is pressed to start the motor 5, the electric heating wires 61 is heated and the sealing boards 6 are moved towards each other. When the sealing boards 6 are in contact with each other, the mouth of the plastic bag disposed within the body portion 1 will be melted together. Then the motor 5 will stop for a while and rotate in an opposite direction thereby moving back the sealing boards 6.
Other embodiments and modifications will occur to those skilled in the art. No attempts has been made to illustrate all possible embodiments of the invention, but rather intended such alternations and further applications as illustrated herein being contemplated as would normally occur to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates.
