Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This proposal concerns garbage containers.

Conventionally, garbage containers used in general households, etc., are compressed by compressing the contents, such as paper scraps and vegetable scraps, placed in the container, using a press plate installed on the container, for example, using a threaded rod, etc. There are containers that are designed to increase the storage capacity by reducing the volume inside the container, or to prevent spillage and scattering outside the container. It takes a lot of effort to clean, etc., and there are many difficulties in daily use.

In this case, the upper half of the side wall forming the container body normally stretches, but when the upper edge is pressed, it compresses, and when the pressing force is released,
The purpose is to provide a container with a simple structure, which is provided with a bellows part that immediately returns to its normal state, and which can easily compress bulky waste inside the container and easily create a space for storing the waste.

The following examples will be explained with reference to the drawings. Container 1
A lid 3 is removably provided on the container body 2 and its upper opening. The container body can be formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape, a rectangular cylindrical shape, etc., and the upper half of the side wall 4 is formed into a bellows 5. Under normal conditions, this bellows part 5 is extended and forms a side wall that forms a predetermined garbage storage space together with its lower half, but when the lid is placed over the container body and the top is pressed by hand, etc. When the pressing force is released, the side wall is elastically restored to form a predetermined side wall. For this reason, the side wall having the bellows portion is formed of a material having flexibility and elasticity, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, soft vinyl chloride resin, rubber, etc., and has an appropriate thickness. Further, for the bellows part, rubber-coated cloth, cloth laminated with the above resin, resin film containing fibers, etc. can be used. The container body other than the bellows part can also be integrally formed of the same material as the bellows part. In addition, this bellows portion may be formed by embedding a spiral body 6 formed into a coil spring shape using a spring wire material in the film of synthetic resin, rubber, etc. or other material having the same effect in accordance with the shape of the bellows. can be formed (third
figure). At the bottom of the container body, the lower end of the side wall, etc.,
A discharge hole for sewage, etc. can be provided as necessary. The lid body 3 compresses the bellows part. When the lid body is placed over the container body and pressed from above, the upper edge 2a of the container body can be pressed almost uniformly and the bellows part can be compressed to the required degree without deforming much. It may be made of the same material as the container body, or may be made of hard synthetic resin, metal, wood, etc., so that the opening of the container body is almost sealed so that it can be opened and closed freely. Deposited by method. In the above case, the lid itself presses the stored items, but it is also possible to removably install a pressing plate of an appropriate shape on the back of the lid to avoid pressing directly on the back of the lid. The lid may be provided with an exhaust hole that is normally closed and opens when pressed to facilitate pressing.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, if bulky waste such as paper waste, vegetable waste, etc. is thrown into the container body and the storage space in the upper half is apparently filled, the lid body can be opened from above by force. By pressing the bellows part with a similar tool, the bulky waste can be easily compressed downward, and when the pressure is released, the bellows part immediately returns to its normal state and forms a side wall, and the top of the compacted waste can be compressed downward. New garbage storage space is created, and new garbage can be thrown away, and the new garbage does not have to be pushed in directly by hand or with a separate tool, which means your hands get dirty and you don't have to worry about the hassle. Since bulky garbage can be easily compressed and the lid can be closed completely at all times, there is no chance of overflowing garbage being scattered or dogs and cats ravaging the inside of the container.
Furthermore, since the bellows portion is formed in the upper half of the side wall, it is stable and can be easily pressed even if dirt is unevenly distributed, and the container body has good durability and a good appearance. Moreover, it has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and can be supplied at low cost, and can be used not only outdoors but also as an indoor waste paper container. It is also possible to place a plastic bag, paper bag, etc. into the container before putting the garbage in there, and then put the garbage therein and fill it by pressing the container.
