Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention allows you to use plastic bags, etc., which are distributed free of charge at stores such as supermarkets, as garbage bags without having to prepare separate garbage bags or throwing away plastic bags that are distributed free of charge when shopping at stores such as supermarkets. The present invention relates to a garbage container suitable for effectively utilizing various plastic bags of different sizes as garbage bags.

Conventional garbage containers include those in which the opening of a garbage bag is fixed to the opening of the container with a frame so that garbage can be placed in the garbage bag, and a container in which the garbage bag is held in a container provided inside the door of the container. There is a known garbage bag that is suspended and fixed in a frame, and garbage is put into the garbage bag (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 48-102477 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
(See Publication No. 47-10441).

However, in conventional garbage containers, the opening of the garbage bag is fixed with a frame, so
Garbage bags that can be used are limited to those with an opening large enough to be fixed with a frame, and garbage bags with smaller openings cannot be used, especially when shopping at supermarkets etc. Plastic bags, paper bags, and other shopping bags distributed in the United States were unsuitable for reuse as garbage bags.

The present invention was developed in view of these conventional problems, and its purpose is to easily use empty shopping bags such as plastic bags of different sizes as garbage bags without having to throw them away. The object of the present invention is to provide a garbage container suitable for use in

For this purpose, the present invention has developed a system in which narrow vertical holes are formed in two of the four pillars that are fixed at equal intervals in the vertical direction on the inner surface of a bottomless cylindrical container with an open top. are provided, and guide rods are vertically fixed to the inner sides of the columns along the longitudinal holes, and
A bottom cover is connected to these guide rods through a sliding ring that is inserted into the guide rod so as to be able to move up and down, and a bottom cover is provided on the outside of the sliding ring that fits into the vertical hole of the support column and the vertical hole. A bolt with a wing nut is protruded through a vertical hole in the container body, so that the bottom cover can move up and down with respect to the container body, and a bolt is provided in a portion of the container body near the vertical hole. A plurality of mark holes are provided at predetermined intervals along the elongated hole as marks for the fixed position of the bottom cover, and legs are provided at the fixed portions of each of the pillars at the lower end of the container body. Furthermore, an annular body with a decorative edge provided on the inside is fitted to the upper end of the container body, and the upper tongue pieces of the four pillars are used to hold the garbage to be charged into the container body. This bag is characterized by a structure in which garbage bag locking devices are attached to each of the bag opening edges for locking the opening edge of the bag at four locations to maintain the open state.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the garbage container according to the present invention, in which 1 is a bottomless cylindrical container body with an open top surface, and the inside surface in the longitudinal direction has various parts, as shown expanded in FIG. 2. The struts 3 and 4 are fixed through four strut holes 2 each having a substantially U-shaped cross section and fixed at equal intervals so that two of the struts face each other.

Although the container body 1 is shown to have a cylindrical shape in FIG. 1, it may have a prismatic shape.

The pillars 3 and 4 are preferably band-shaped metal plates, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a tongue piece 5 having a garbage bag fastener attachment hole 6 is formed horizontally at the upper end by punching and bending. At the same time, a shaped notch 7 is formed in the lower end, a pin hole 8 is provided slightly below the tongue piece 5, a screw hole 9 is provided slightly above the lower end shaped notch 7, and a 4-shaped notch 7 is provided. A narrow vertical hole 10 is provided in two opposing book pillars 4 of the book pillars from a slightly upper middle part to a lower part of the central part in the longitudinal direction. As described above, these supports 3 and 4 are inserted into the support through-hole 2, and the fixing pin 10' inserted into the matching hole between the upper pin 8 and the pin hole of the container body 1 secures the container. It is fixed to the body 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, guide rods 11 are installed vertically inside the column 4 along the vertical hole 10 with screws (not shown) at the upper and lower ends. , a cross-sectional bottom cover 13 is connected to the guide rod 11 via a sliding ring 12 which is externally mounted so as to be vertically movable. As shown, the vertical hole 10
and a vertical hole 1 of the container body 1 that matches the vertical hole 10
A bolt 16 with a wing nut 15 is protruded through the bolt 4, and by loosening both the left and right wing nuts 15 and moving it up and down while holding it, the sliding ring 12 can be moved up and down along the guide rod 11. When the bottom cover 12 is moved up and down through the screws and the wing nut 15 is tightened again, the bottom cover 13 is fixed at a predetermined position.

Note that FIG. 5 shows the vertical movement structure between one support 4 and the bottom cover 13, and the vertical movement structure of the other opposing support 4 is the same, so for the purpose of simplifying the illustration, Illustrations are omitted.

The bottom cover 13 is attached to the wing nut 1 on the outside of the container body 1.
The position is adjusted up and down by the operation in step 5, and in order to mark this position adjustment, a vertical part of the container body 1 close to the vertical hole 14 is marked with a predetermined interval as shown in FIG. A plurality of mark holes 17 are provided.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
A leg 18 is provided at each of the fixed parts.

As shown in FIG. 7, the leg 18 is a rectangular vertical piece having a width slightly narrower than the width of the notch 7 in the shape of the supports 3 and 4, and slightly longer than the height from the lower end of the notch to the screw hole 9. 19, a wide piece 20 bent into an L shape at the lower end of the wide piece 19, and a wide vertical piece 2 formed above the end of the piece 20.
1, an arcuate piece 22 connected to the end of the piece 21, and a horizontal base piece 23.
9 and 21 and the lower end-shaped notch 7 of the struts 3 and 4.
It is attached together with the container body 1 to the lower ends of the columns 3 and 4 by tightening screws 25 and nuts 26 inserted into matching holes between the screw holes 24 of 9 and the screw holes 9 of the columns 3 and 4.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the garbage bag locking device mounting hole 6 of the upper end tongue piece 5 of the pillars 3 and 4 has a
4 on the opening edge of the garbage bag 27 inserted into the container body 1
A locking tool 28 is attached to hold the garbage bag 27 well open by hanging or narrowing it at several places, and a locking tool 28 is attached to the inside of the upper end opening of the container body 1 to slightly narrow the field of view inside the container body 1. In order to hide the locking tool 28 so that it cannot be seen from the outside and to enhance the overall design effect, an annular body 29 with a decorative edge 30 provided on the inner peripheral side edge is removably fitted.

Note that the locking tool 27 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 1.
As shown in FIG. 0, a clip type that holds the opening edge of the garbage bag 27 or an S-shaped hook type that hooks the lower part of the garbage bag 27 is preferable.

In the present garbage container having the above configuration, a plastic shopping bag distributed free of charge at a supermarket or the like is inserted into the container body 1 as the garbage bag 27, and the opening edge (including the handle part) of the garbage bag 27 is inserted into the container body 1. The garbage bag 27 is opened by being latched or clamped with the four locking tools 28, and the bottom of the garbage bag 27 is supported by the bottom cover 13, and the garbage bag 27 is put into use.

Depending on the length of the garbage bag 27, loosen the left and right wing nuts 15 and move them up and down using the position of the mark hole 17 as a guide to adjust the vertical height of the bottom cover 13. The bottom portion of the container 27 is always well supported by the bottom cover 13, and is ready for use.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the garbage bag 27 in the container body 1 can be opened well by the four locking devices 28 attached to the upper ends of the opposing pillars 3 and 4. The bottom of the garbage bag 27 is supported by the bottom lid 13 whose height can be adjusted up and down, so it can be used for shopping at supermarkets etc. without having to prepare a separate garbage bag. Empty plastic shopping bags of various sizes distributed free of charge during the event can be effectively used as garbage bags 27 instead of being thrown away, which is extremely economical.

In addition, since the height position of the bottom lid 13 is adjusted on the outside of the container body 1 without touching the bottom lid 13, it is hygienic as there is no dirt on the hands due to dirt on the bottom lid 13, etc. Moreover, since the height position of the bottom cover 13 can be adjusted using the position of the mark hole 17 as a guide, adjustment is easy.

In addition, since the locking tool 28 and the like inside the container body 1 are hidden by the decorative edge 30 of the annular body 29, not only is the appearance good, but the decorative edge 30 also has an overall design effect, and has commercial value. can be increased.
