DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a garbage box capable of accommodating a bag made of polyethylene or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It is common practice to set a handbag made of synthetic resin provided in a large-scale retail store in a trash box. Then, the garbage is collected in the bag, and is discarded together with the bag in that state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inside of the trash box from being soiled by trash.

[0003] As a configuration for setting and holding a handbag in a trash box, for example, a configuration as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Hei 7-183303 is known. In the configuration of the trash box, a pair of locking projections is provided by projecting a pair of locking projections at the four corners of the opening of the trash box in order to accommodate a bag made of polyethylene or the like having a pair of handbags inside the trash box. A slit is formed between them. Then, the handbag is fitted into the slit, and the bag is set and held in the opening of the trash can.

[0004]

However, in the conventional trash can, only a handbag corresponding to the opening width of the trash can can be set, and it is difficult to use a handbag of various sizes. there were.

[0005] For example, in the above-mentioned recycle bin configuration, the slits of the opening are arranged at the four corners of the recycle bin. Could not be set in the recycle bin.

In addition, it is necessary to lock the hand-held portion at four places in the opening of the trash can, which is troublesome. Furthermore, since bags used for the trash can are mainly obtained by shopping one or two at a time, it is necessary to store spare bags on a daily basis. Therefore, when storing spare bags, a special place had to be secured separately.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems existing in the prior art, and the object is to set the bag easily and reliably regardless of the size of the bag. To provide a recycle bin.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a trash can that can easily store a spare bag inside the trash can.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is a trash can having an open upper surface.
A wide flange surface at the upper end of a pair of opposing side walls.
A slit, which is provided and is elastically closed to the flange surface, extends in the same direction as the side wall having the flange surface.
Together with that, and the width wide portions so that to Toru設 the center of the slit. Therefore, it is only necessary to guide the carrying portion of the bag from the wide portion into the slit.

[0010] The slit can typically be retained because the situations that near the closed elastically, the handbag of the bag into the fitting state. In addition, a flange is formed at the upper end of the side wall,
Because so that the slit and the wide portion is formed in the flange, handbag of the bag is to be positioned below the flange.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the through hole whose distance between the through hole and the bottom wall is set substantially equal to the elbow height is provided in the front side wall of the trash can. For this reason, a spare bag can be stored in the trash box through the through hole, and the spare bag at the inner bottom of the trash box can be easily taken out.

[0012]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2
As shown in the figure, the trash can 30 is formed in a substantially bottomed square cylindrical shape with an open upper surface by a synthetic resin such as polypropylene,
It comprises a bottom wall 11, a front side wall 12, a rear side wall 13, and a side wall 14.

A flange 1 is provided at the upper end of each side wall 12-14.
6 and 17 are provided, and the flange 17 at the upper end of the left and right side walls 14 is wider than the flange 16 on the front side wall 12 and the rear side wall 13 side. A slit 19 extending in the same direction as the left and right side walls 14 is formed in the flange 17, and a wide portion 20 is provided at the center thereof. The slit 19 is kept elastically closed.

As shown in FIG. 4, the circular through hole 15 is provided in the front side wall 12 at a height substantially equal to the elbow from the bottom wall 11. When setting the bag 21 in the recycle bin 30,
After the handbag portion 22 of the bag 21 is inserted from the top to the bottom of the wide portion 20, the handbag portion 22 of the bag 21 can be engaged with the slit 19 by expanding the handbag portion 22 under the flange 17 in both the left and right directions. When removing, it is only necessary to pull out the handbag 22 upward.

When the bag 21 is set in the trash box 30, a spare bag 23 can be stored in the trash box 30 through the through hole 15. On the other hand, spare bag 2
When taking out 3, the through-hole 15 is at the height of the elbow, so that it can be easily taken out. Also, this through hole 15
The trash can 30 is also used as a handle.

The effects that can be expected from the above embodiment will be described below. (1) In the trash box 30 of this embodiment, the slit 19 is formed in the flange 17 at the upper end of the side wall 14 in the same direction as the side wall 14, and the wide portion 20 is provided at the center thereof, so that the opening 31 of the trash box 30 is provided. The setting and removal of the bag 21 with respect to can be performed more easily. That is, in the setting of the bag 21, if the handbag 22 is expanded by passing the handbag 22 through the wide portion 20, the handbag 22 is introduced into the slit 19 and is held by the elasticity of the slit 19. When the garbage is accumulated in the bag 21 and becomes full, the handbag 22
You just need to pull it out.

(2) Since the slit 19 is elastically closed and the slit 19 extends in the horizontal direction, the hand-held portion 22 can be held by the slit 19 regardless of its size. Therefore, regardless of the size of the bag 21, the bag 21 can be set in the opening 31 of the trash box 30.

(3) Since the slit 19 is formed in the flange 17, when the bag 21 is set, the hand-held portion 22
Are located below the flange 17. Therefore, carrying part 2
2 can be made inconspicuous, and the appearance is improved.

(4) In the trash can 30 of this embodiment, the height from the bottom wall 11 to the through hole 15 is almost the elbow height. For this reason, when the stored spare bag 23 is used, it can be easily taken out.

(5) The through hole 15 functions as an accent on the decoration of the trash can 30 or as a handle for carrying. The present invention can be embodied with the following modifications.

That is, as shown in FIG.
Are provided with three concave portions 30a for accommodating dust. Flange 1 of front wall 12 and rear wall 13
Three slits 19 are formed in the flange 17 of the side wall 14 having a width larger than 6, and each of the slits 19 is set to be a pair with the recess 30a interposed therebetween. Each slit 19 is formed so as to extend in the same direction as the left and right side walls 14, and these slits 19 are held in an elastically closed state.

The circular through holes 15 are formed in the front side wall 12 and the rear side wall 13 so as to correspond to the concave portions 30a at both ends and at substantially the height of the elbow from the bottom wall 11. The effects that can be expected from the above embodiment will be described below.

(1) In this embodiment, separation can be performed by selecting the concave portion 30a according to the type of dust. (2) By providing two through holes 15, the trash can 3
When carrying 0, it is easy to use the through hole 15 as a handle.

[0024]

The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects. According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bag can be easily attached and detached, and the bag can be set in the trash can regardless of the size of the bag.

Further, when the bag is mounted, the carrying portion can be accommodated under the flange, so that the appearance of the trash can is improved. According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, it is possible to store a spare bag inside the garbage box, and secure an accent on decoration, and It is convenient when carrying.

Further, when the stored spare bag is used, it can be easily taken out.
