Abstract
A bin A has two anchorage points D, G allowing an elastic device C to extend across its mouth; or engage the mouth of a liner B around its rim. The elastic device can be a closed elastic loop, or two unattached strands of elastic. The anchors can be hooks, slots, or a further elastic band. The elastic may contain magnetic strips. The device is easier than previous bin liner retainers since the liner can be inserted between the elastic strands when they are across the bins mouth; each side can then individually be stretched around the rim. This also means the elastic engages a fold in the bag inhibiting escape.
Description
Bin liner retainer system
Description 1/7
The present invention facilitates fitting a bin liner into a bin with just a few simple folds, so that it is neat and secure, with all excess liner, and open edges of the liner concealed. The present invention helps prevent a bin liner from progressively slipping into a bin and contamination of the inner surface of the bin with rubbish Another problem overcome by the present invention is that of the conspicuous excess bin liner and open edges of bin liner, draped over the outer surface of the bin.
An elastic device, that in one embodiment is just an elastic loop, or two elastic strips tensioned across the opening of the said bin from two anchorage points on the upper edge of the said bin, is all that's needed to make the liner neat and secure. The liner is folded outwardly over the tensioned elastic strips, and both are pulled laterally, and folded over the upper edge of the bin leaving open edges, and excess liner folded inwardly and concealed within the bin. In another embodiment, two oversized elastic bands are attached together so that one is tensioned across the opening of a bin, while the other acts as anchorage device, securing the first elastic band to the upper edge of the said bin.
Brief description of prior art with reference to the Drawings Figs 1-7.
Key to drawings; A: Bin, having an upper edge defining an opening and an outer surface.
B: Bin liner R: Rubbish, thrown into bin.
H: oversized elastic band, or elastic loop.
* Fig 1: represents a standard plastic bin with a standard bin liner overhanging the upper part of the bin, with no device to prevent the liner from slipping into the bin.
* Fig 2: demonstrates what may happen when heavy objects are placed in the bin from figure 1, the liner slips into the bin.
* Fig 3: depicts the way that when the liner is free to slip, it tends not to follow the contours of the inner surface of the bin but tends to follow the contours of the rubbish thrown in, especially if rubbish is sticky or heavy. Thus the liner is pulled into the bin, loosing it's function as a bin liner.
* Fig 4: represents a swing bin with excess liner draped over the outer contours of the bin.
* Fig 5; represents a pedal bin with excess bin liner on view, draped over the outer bin surface.
* Fig 6: represents a bin with excess liner draped over the outer surface of the bin and secured in place with an oversized rubber band, H. * Fig 7: represents a vertical cross section through the bin shown in fig 6.
* Fig 8: represents a pedal bin with an insert, a hard plastic bucket to hold the liner, where the bin liner is billowing out between the rim of the bin and the lid of the bin.
More detailed description of prior art with reference to the drawings, Figs 1-8: Fig 1, in the standard bin, there has to be sufficient excess liner available, overlapping the uppermost rim of the bin and draped down over the outer surface of the bin, so that if a heavy item is dropped into the bin the liner does not slip over the rim and down into the bin, as in fig 2 and fig 3.
Bin liner retainer system
Description 2/7
The bin liner tends not to follow the contours of the bin when a sticky or heavy item of rubbish Is thrown into the bin, because it tends to follow the contours of the items of rubbish, thus requiring a bin liner much larger than the bin itself. Liner is often conspicuously draped over a large part of the outer surface of the bin.
Fig 4 shows a flip top bin, where the same situation applies as described in relation to figs 1,2, and 3, but where the lid provides slight resistance to the force causing slipping of the bin liner.
* Fig S represents a pedal bin that may look sophisticated until the bin liner is placed and then has much of the outer surface of the bin covered by less sophisticated bin liner.
* Fig 6 depicts an open plastic bin with a bin liner as in Figl but where an oversized tensioned elastic band over the liner holds the liner in place to some extent. The appearance tends to be utilitarian, excess bin liner and the peripheral open edges of said liner are conspicuous.
As in prior art, the present invention also makes use of an elastic device that is tensioned around the liner and the bin, but in the present invention the liner is folded over the elastic device in a certain way, and the liner, folded over the elastic device, is stretched and folded over the perimeter rIm of the bin leaving open edges, and excess liner folded inwardly and concealed within the bin.

Fig 10 represents a view of the bin showing the side and uppermost part of the bin. The tensioned elastic strips,C stretch across the opening of the bin from an anchorage point on one side of the upper edge of the bin to another anchorage point on the opposite side of the upper edge of the bin.
Fig 11 represents the bin in figs 9 and 10 in cross section. The tensioned elastic strips,C stretch across the opening of the bin from an anchorage point on one side of the upper edge of the bin to another anchorage point on the opposite side of the upper edge of the bin.
Fig 12 represents a vertical cross section through a cylindrical bin, bin liner and tensioned elastic strips. The bin liner has been placed in the bin with the peripheral edges of the opening of the bin liner folded outwardly and down over the tensioned elastic strips, where the tensioned elastic strips C, stretch across the opening of the bin from an anchorage point on one side of the upper edge of the bin to another anchorage point on the opposite side of the upper edge of the bin.
Fig 13 represents a hook or slot that is used to secure the tensioned elastic strips, to the outside surface of the said bin.
Fig 14 represents an aerial view of a cylindrical bin with bin liner supported by the two tensioned elastic strips,C, that are tensioned across the opening of the bin between anchorage points at the upper edge. These elastic strips also support the bin liner to facilitate folding the open edges of the liner over the said elastic strips, as both hands can be used to position the bin liner. Fig 14 represents an individual's hands stretching the said tensioned elastic strip wrapped in the peripheral edge of the opening of the bin liner over the upper edge of the bin and onto the outside surface of the bin, where elastic tension and friction holds the liner in place.
Fig 15 represents a vertical cross section through the cylindrical bin and liner shown in Fig 14.
This is the next stage from Fig 12, One of the tensioned elastic strips with the bin liner wrapped over it is stretched laterally over the upper edge of the bin.

Fig 17 represents a vertical cross section through a bin showing the bin liner held in the open position by tensioned elastic strip.C, that is double folded and consealed within the bin liner.
Liner edges are consealed by folding them within the bin, There is no excess liner visible.The liner can be tightened around the rim of the bin by pulling down on the liner within the bin, so that the liner finishes neatly at the rim of the bin.
Fig 18, represents a vertical cross section through a bin as in Fig 17, but with rubbish,R.
Fig 19, represents an exploded view of the upper edge of the bin shown in Fig 18. The folding of the bin liner around the elastic strip,C, is shown.
Fig 20 represents an exploded view of the upper edge of the bin shown in Fig 19. The arrow represents the direction of a force. Thus as the liner is pulled down by rubbish entering the bin, movement of the liner is resisted by elastic tension of C pressing liner against the bin, and also the inwardly folded liner is pressed against the bin by the upper layer of liner at the upper edge of the bin.
Description of drawings Fig 21-30 Another embodiment, where the elastic device could be formed from an oversized elastic band attached to another oversized elastic band at the said anchorage points. The bands need to be a suitable size to fit tightly when tensioned around the outer perimeter of the opening of the bin or rim'. When one of the elastic bands is tensioned across the opening of a bin from two anchorage points on the said rim, provided by the second elastic band tensioned around the said rim, a bin liner can be fitted into a bin with just a few simple hand movements, so that the liner is neat and secure, with all excess and open edges of the liner concealed.
Fig 21 represents two similarly sized, oversized, elastic bands Fig 22 represents two oversized elastic bands fitted over the opening and outer,upper edge of a cylindrical bin.
Fig 23 represents an aerial view of a cylindrical bin, and the same two oversized elastic bands as shown in Figs 21 and Fig 22, but here one of said oversized elastic bands, E, is tensioned around the perimeter of the opening of a cylindrical bin, and the other elastic band is tensioned across the open aperture of the cylindrical bin. G, is the anchorage point.

Fig 24 represents a vertical cross section through the same cylindrical bin and elastic band device as shown in Figs 22 and 23 with the addition of a bin liner with the edges of the open aperture of the bin liner folded outwardly over the elastic strips. E, represents the elastic band acting as anchorage device tensioned around the perimeter of the outer rim of the bin.
Fig 25 represents a vertical cross section through the same cylindrical bin and elastic band device as shown in Figs 22 23 and 24. One of the tensioned elastic strips,C, is being stretched towards the upper edge of the bin where it is to be tensioned around the outer surface of the rim.
Fig 26 represents an aerial view of a cylindrical bin with bin liner supported by the two tensioned elastic strips,C,of the elastic band that spans the opening of the bin between anchorage points at the perimeter. Anchorage points are points of attachment to the elastic band, E, tensioned around the perimeterof the rim of the bin. These elastic strips, C, also support the bin liner to make the process of folding the open edges of the liner over the said elastic strips simpler, as both hands can be used to position the bin liner. Fig 26 represents an individual's hands stretching the tensioned elastic strip, C, wrapped in the peripheral edge of the opening of the bin liner over the upper rim of the peripheral edge of the bin and onto the outside surface of the bin, where elastic tension and friction holds the liner in place.
Fig 27 represents a vertical cross 5ection through the cylindrical bin and liner shown in Fig 26.
This is the next stage from Fig 25, One of the tensioned elastic strips,C, with the bin liner wrapped over it is stretched laterally over the bin perimeter rim.
Fig 28 represents a vertical cross section through a bin showing the bin liner held in the open position by tensioned elastic strip,C that is double folded and consealed within the bin liner.
Liner edges are consealed by folding them within the bin, There is no excess liner visible. The liner can be tightened around the rim of the bin by pulling down on the liner within the bin, so that the liner finishes neatly at the rim of the bin.
Fig 29, represents a vertical cross section through a bin as in Fig 28, with rubbish, R. Also many bins the upper edge turns outwards, providing some resistance form to theforce causing the liner to slip, where bins have no outwardly turned upper edge, E, the elastic band tensioned around the outer rim of the bin, provides friction resistance.
Fig 30, represents an exploded view of the rim of the bin shown in Fig 29 the folding of the bin liner around the elastic strip,C, is shown.
