Abstract

A three dimensional sack for collecting and transporting waste recycling materials and refuse comprises a fully opening and closing top forming an apex shape when closed, with two lifting handles H incorporated within the closure and secured by means of hook and loop fasteners. The sack is closed by a full width fold over flap 6 across the top, also secured with a hook and loop fastener 7. The base of the sack may comprise a tipping strap (T, figure 6) and/or a rubber weight pad.

Description

Three dimensional fully closeable sack for collecting and transporting waste recycling material and refuse.
Description
A three diniensional sewn woven sack with a secure top closure for collecting recyclable materials (cans, newspapers, cardboard, plastics, textiles, glass and garden waste) and refuse from the kerbside or enabling secure transportation of recyclables to recycling facilities.
Background
Until now local authorities and their partner waste management companies have been supplied with sacks having either an open top or with a simple flap of fabric (lid) attached to one top edge capable of folding across the top of the bag and fixing to the adjacent side using a single hook and loop strip. These sacks are sometimes supplied with an optional tipping handle on the base and or a rubber weight pad incorporated into the base between two layers of fabric.
Issues The problem with the existing designs is the first leaves the top of the bag open and the latter leaves two sides open.
Existing closure design types do not protect the contents of the sack from weather elements.
Existing closure design types do not securely retain contents in bad weather or if the sack is knocked over.
Existing closure design types do not adequately protect contents from the growing problem of interference from vennin, gulls, foxes etc. Existing closure design types do not adequately protect contents from vandalism (e.g. paper set on fire) Invention; Our experience supplying over 200 local authorities UK wide over 20 years has led us to understand there is a requirement for inventing a more effective way of closing these sacks which addresses all the issues above.
The design creates a secure, apex shaped closure which sheds water off the top.
The design brings both lifting handles closer together so that the sack can be lifted single handed if it is being carried on stairways or other situations where having a hand free increases the safety of the operator.
The design can be applied to different sizes of sack depending on customer requirements.
The design enables the sack to stand open for filling and be easily and securely closed at the top when it is put out on the kerbside for collection or when it is being transported frill.
The design allows for easy opening by recycling crews for emptying and can be reused many times.
The design allows for the addition of an optional tipping handle sewn into the base and or an optional rubber weight pad incorporated into the base between two layers of fabric, neither of which are new.
Drawings The invention will now be described solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows thesack when open Figure 2 shows the sack after the first stage of the closing operation Figure 3 shows the sack closed Figure 4 shows a side view of the sack when closed Figure 5 shows a plan drawing of the top of the sack Figure 6 shows a plan drawing of the base of the sack Figure 1 shows when the sack is open, four vertical seams 1,2,3,4 assist holding the shape upright for filling-It shows the sides of the bag A. It shows the two small hook and loop patches 5 on either side A of the sack's top edges. It illustrates the raised top edge 6 which has a handle H and a strip of hook or loop material incorporated by way of stitching. It shows the opposite top edge 7 where corresponding part of the hook or loop strip and another handle H is also located.
Figure 2 shows when the sack is closed, first the sides A are pushed inwards from the ccntre to allow the hook and loop patches 5 at the top corners to be joined together on each side.
Figure 3 shows the sack closed by bringing the raised top flap 6 across and down onto the corresponding strip of hook & loop 7 on the opposite side of the sack. The sack is illustrated in the closed position with an apex shaped top S and the handles H close together.
In Figure 4 the sack is shown from the side in the closed position illustrating the top flap 6 In Figure 5 the sack is shown from above in plan to illustrate the top flap 6 and the handles H In Figure 6 the sack is shown from below in plan to illustrate the optional tipping strap across the base located into two of the sewn seams S
