Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a garbage container, and more particularly to a garbage container suitable for use by placing a bag inside the garbage container.

In general, when using a garbage container, it is common practice to not put garbage or dust directly into the container, but instead to place it in a bag that has been placed inside the container in advance.

This is to avoid staining the inner surface of the container, and also to facilitate the disposal of a bag full of garbage.

When storing a bag in a conventional garbage container in this way, simply folding the opening edge of the bag along the top edge of the container does not secure the bag securely, so as the garbage accumulates, its weight increases. The bag slipped and garbage got between the container and the bag.1
There were some inconveniences.

Furthermore, after the opening edge of the bag has been bent as described above, the bag is tied using a string or rubber band, but this is a very troublesome task.

The present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art, and provides a garbage container with a convenient structure for installing and fixing the bag inside the garbage container.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

The bag 1 used in the embodiment is a bag made of polypropylene or low-pressure polyethylene having the shape shown in FIG. 1, and is often used in supermarkets, food stores, etc. these days.

Bag 1 has carrying parts IA and IB and gazette part 1
C, and the base A is 25 in the folded state shown in Figure 1.
0 to 300 cn1 and vertical side B of 400 to 450 crrI.

After being used to transport shopping, such bags are often reused in households as trash bags.

Figure 2 shows a bag of suitable size to accommodate such a bag.
For example, a plastic garbage container 2 with a diameter of 20-odd centimeters and a height of 30-odd centimeters is shown.

The upper part of the waste container 2 is shaped to have a substantially U-shaped cross section, as shown in FIG.

That is, it has an outwardly extending portion (U-shaped bottom) 2C, a downwardly extending portion (outer U-shaped portion) 2A extending therefrom, and a portion (inner U-shaped portion) 2B opposed thereto.

An elastic body 3 having a substantially semicircular cross section is pasted with a suitable adhesive 4 along the inner surface of the outer U-shaped portion 2A of the U-shaped portions 2A and 2B.

The semicircular peak portion of the elastic body 3 is approximately in contact with the inner surface of the U-shaped portion 2B.

A suitable material for the elastic body 3 is, for example, vinyl foam or urethane foam.

The expanded opening edge 1D of the bag 1 is touched with the elastic body 3 and the inner side U with a fingertip.
It is pushed into the U-shaped bottom 2C from the gap between the inner surface of the garbage container 2B and the opening edge of the bag is firmly and neatly held by the elasticity of the elastic body 30 around the upper edge of the garbage container, as shown in Fig. 3. Fixed.

FIG. 4G shows another embodiment, in which two elastic bodies substantially the same as those shown in FIG. 3 are pasted on each inner surface of the U-shaped portions 2A and 2B.

The opening edge of the bag is forced into the housing by passing between the two elastic bodies 5 and 6.

As described above, according to the present invention, the opening edge of the bag is held by the elasticity of the elastic body, so that the bag is firmly fixed to the garbage container.

Therefore, the bag does not shift as the garbage accumulates, and the bag has a good appearance.

Not only this, but also when taking out the bag from the container, the opening edge of the bag can be removed very easily.

After taking out the bag, the carrying parts 1A and 1B of the bag can be tied together to form a carrying ring, which is convenient for carrying and disposing of the bag.

Since the present invention allows bags that have been used once for shopping to be reused with a good appearance, the present invention has a significant practical effect from the viewpoint of resource reuse.

In this embodiment, a medium-sized polypropylene bag is exemplified, but the size of the bag is not limited, and even if the bag is made of paper, the bag may be made of paper.

Similarly, the size of the container is not limited either.

The elastic body 3 does not need to be applied to the entire outer circumference of the container, and may be applied to several suitable locations, and its cross-sectional shape is not limited to a semicircle, but may be rectangular.

In addition, the container can be decorated with patterns and designs to improve its appearance, and a lid can be used as appropriate to increase its practicality.

However, it is also possible to store this container inside a decorated container.

It is possible to provide a small pocket on the outer or inner surface of the container for folding and storing a bag of money.

Instead of a pocket, it is also possible to provide the container with a thrift (elongated opening) large enough to insert a folded money bag.
