Description

  The present invention relates to a mouth closing clip used to close a mouth of a garbage bag or the like and a mounting tool therefor.

  Economic growth in Japan has created consumption patterns of mass production, mass consumption, and mass disposal. As a result, local governments nationwide need to secure and implement land and treatment facilities for disposal of large amounts of garbage. It is also necessary to create a budget for this purpose. Under such circumstances, in recent years, many local governments have designated bags for collecting garbage, and charged garbage collection by selling the bags at a price added to the actual cost.

  And because of the impact of such garbage collection charges, residents try to pack as much garbage as possible into a single garbage bag when taking out the garbage, but eventually the garbage mouth is tied by hand. Since it is necessary to close the trash bag, it is usually not possible to put trash up to the full capacity of the trash bag (45 liters), which is uneconomical. In addition, in order to accommodate as much trash as possible in the bag, residents usually compress the trash in the bag by pushing it with their hands or feet from the outside, or tie the mouth of the trash bag. In such a case, when there is a pointed garbage in the bag, there is a problem that a hole is formed in the garbage bag and the bag itself is torn or a bad odor in the bag leaks to the outside. In the latter case, the mouth of the garbage bag tends to be insufficiently connected. As a result, when the garbage is collected, the mouth of the bag is unraveled and garbage is spilled on the ground, or the worker enters the garbage. There is a problem that the bag cannot be easily put into the collection vehicle, and the work is dangerous.

Conventionally, in order to cope with such a problem, a garbage bag has been developed in which a tubular portion is formed in a mouth portion of a garbage bag, and a closed string or adhesive tape is passed through the tubular portion, thereby closing the mouth portion. Yes.
