Description

WASTE RECEPTACLE WITH SUPPLIED BAGS FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to refuse receptacles and more particularly to a garbage receptacle that includes a plurality of disposable bags.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A large trash receptacle with a bag is generally designed to serve as a primary receptacle for garbage, such as, for example, a main receptacle for garbage in a kitchen. After the bag is full, the bag is removed from the receptacle for transport, disposal or incineration and a new bag is placed in the receptacle to receive the garbage. An inherent problem with traditional garbage receptacles that use garbage bags is presented with garbage that is particularly fragrant or unhealthy. When such repulsive garbage is introduced into garbage bags of traditional garbage receptacles, garbage bags must be removed and disposed of quickly, or otherwise the garbage receptacle will subject the surrounding area to odorous or unhealthy effects of garbage. through the open bag. This results in the use ineffective of the receptacle and garbage bags, because the bag can not be full when the garbage is deposited in the bag. Accordingly, a bag having additional capacity is often prematurely discarded. This eventually leads to the use of more bags than are actually required for the volume of garbage produced. This situation represents additional inefficiency and discomfort, because the individual who empties the trash receptacle must remove and transport the trash bags more frequently.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention mitigates the effects of particularly odorous or unhealthy garbage. The present invention is directed to a garbage receptacle with disposable bags that allow to dispose of garbage or repulsive waste in its own garbage bag. The garbage bags of the present invention can be sized to accommodate a limited number of garbage items. After the particularly repulsive garbage has been deposited in a garbage bag, it can be removed and either disposed of or placed in a larger trash receptacle, such as, for example, the main garbage receptacle in a kitchen. Since the device bags prevent odorous or unhealthy effects from leaking out of the bag, it is not necessary to discard the bag from the larger receptacle, as it would be if the problem garbage were directly deposited. in the bag. The garbage receptacle can also be sized, such that it functions properly, when placed, for example, on a kitchen or bathroom table cover. The plurality of dispensable bags of the receptacle ensures that the device serves multiple uses, before it needs to be filled or discarded. According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided a garbage receptacle comprising a housing, the housing including an outer hollow part defining a cavity and a flange defining an opening in the cavity. The garbage receptacle further comprises a divider that divides the cavity into a compartment and a drawer, wherein the divider defines a hole that passes through it. The receptacle also comprises a plurality of bags connected in series. The bags have an upper part defining an opening and a lower part that is closed, wherein the bags are connected in series, such that the lower part of each bag is detachably attached to the upper part of the next bag in the bag. series. When the bags are stored in the compartment, the bags will be pulled through the divider hole one at a time, the tops of the bags leading the bottoms, so that the first bag will pull the second bag through the divider , as the first divider bag is pulled. When the upper part of the bag passes through the divider, the bag can be opened to receive material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to Figure 1, a garbage receptacle 50 is provided comprising a housing 52. The housing may include an outer hollow portion 54 defining a cavity 56 and a rim 58 defining an opening 60 to the cavity 56. The receptacle of garbage 50 may further comprise a divider 62 that divides the cavity 56 into a compartment 76 and a drawer 78, wherein the divider 62 defines a hole 64 that passes therethrough. The receptacle 50 may also include a naturalness of bags 80 connected in series. The bags 80 can have an upper part 86 defining an opening 88 and a lower part 90 which is closed. The bags 80 may be connected in series, such that the lower part 90 of each bag 80 is detachably attached to the upper part 86 of the next bag in the series. When the bags 80 are stored in the compartment 76, the bags can be pulled through the hole 64 of the divider 62 one at a time, the upper portions 86 of the bags 80 leading to the lower parts 90, so that the first The bag will pull the second bag through the divider 62, as the first bag of the divider 62 is pulled. When the upper part 86 of a bag 80 passes through the divider 62, the bag can be opened to receive material. In order to assist with the hands-free use of the device, the bags 80 can be placed around the rim 58 of the receptacle 50, so that the bag 80 remains open to receive garbage, as shown in Figure 1. Referring to Figure 1, the receptacle 50 may include a front part 96, a back part 98, a first side 100 and a second side 102. Referring to Figures 1-2, the outer hollow portion 54 of the receptacle 50 may be a continuous piece that defines a generally tubular shape. The outer hollow portion 54 may be a hollow portion of a single wall that includes an interior sur 104 and an exterior sur 106, as seen in Fig. 2. The exterior hollow portion 54 includes a bottom portion 108, which is flat to that the receptacle 50 can Stablely vertical, and an upper part 10, in which the rim 58 of the opening 60 is located. The lower part 108 can include a circular recess 1 12 centered on the middle part of the lower part 108. Referring to FIG. 2, the flange 58 can be oriented at a certain angle, such that the flange 58 is higher at the rear 98 of the receptacle 50 and lower at the front 96. The flange 58 can extend from the front 96 to the rear 98 at a certain angle 156, wherein the angle is defined as the angle between a plane parallel to the bottom 108 and the flange 58. The angle 56 may be in a first range of 0 to 45 degrees. The angle 156 may be in a second range of 20 to 35 degrees. In one embodiment, the angle 156 may be 30 degrees. The annular flange 58 is combatible with the general ease of use of the receptacle. Since the flange 58, and therefore the opening 60, are at an angle 156, the ergonomic loading is enhanced with the hands free of the receptacle, since the receptacle has the opening 60 for depositing the garbage in the bag 80. Referring to Figures 1-2, the receptacle 50 may have a general form of hourglass. The receptacle profile 50 can be very wide at the flange 58, then taper to its narrowest section in the divider slot 1 14 and then broaden back to the lower part 108, which is smaller than the upper part 10. , as shown in Figure 2. The hourglass profile can be present in the side profiles of the receptacle 50, as shown in Figures 2-4, and the profiles front and rear, as shown in figures 5 and 6. The receptacle can be symmetrical between the second side 102 and the first side 100, as shown in figures 3 and 4, respectively. With reference to figures 5 and 8, the outer hollow part 54 of the receptacle 50 may be of the general formula of an oval tube, wherein the receptacle 50 is very wide from the first side 100 to the second side 102 and very narrow from the part front 96 to the rear 98. the receptacle 50 an oval seating area in the lower part 108, as shown in figure 7, and maintain an oval cross-section through the entire outer hollow part 54 up to the top 1 10, as shown in Figure 8. With reference to Figure 8, the divider slot 1 14, which can be seen without the divider 62 inserted, may also have an oval shape. Accordingly, the divider 62, which can be shaped to fit snugly in the divider slot 14, is also oval in shape, which is shown inserted into the receptacle 50 in FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the divider slot 1 4 may include 3 bands 1 16, 1 18, 120 that surround the outer hollow portion 54 of the receptacle 50. The upper band 16 and the lower band 1 18 are located above and below the intermediate band 120, respectively. The upper band 1 16 and the lower band 1 18 have a smaller circumference than the intermediate band 120, but may have the same circumference as both. The circumference of the divider 62 is larger than the upper band 1 16 and the lower band 1 18 at a time, but smaller than intermediate band 120. Accordingly, divider 62 can be held in place in intermediate band 120. Splitter 62 can be held in place with a loose fit, an adjustment with tighten a friction fit. 5 Referring to Figure 2, the cavity 56 of the receptacle 50 includes the area within the outer hollow portion 54 between the bottom portion 108 of the receptacle 50 and the opening 60. The divider 62 divides the cavity 56 in a compartment 76 and a drawer 78. The compartment 76 is the space between the bottom portion 108 of the receptacle 50 and the divider 62, while the drawer 78 10 is the space between the divider 62 and the opening 60. As shown in Figure 2, the divider 62 can be located approximately one quarter of the distance from the bottom 108 to the top 10, thus ensuring that the compartment 76 is less bulky than the drawer 78. The plurality of the bag 80 can be stored in the 15 compartment 76 as a folded stack 124, as shown in Figure 2. The bags 80 can be stored in the behavior 76, such that the upper bag 80 of the stack 124 has an upper part, 86 not connected, i.e. it is attached only on its lower part 90, because it is the first bag 80 in the series. The bags 80 enter the drawer 78 of the receptacle through the hole 64 of the divider 62, starting with the first bag 80 passing the first place through the hole 64. The bags 80 may be connected in a series, in which the lower part 90 of each bag 80 is connected to the upper part 86 of each subsequent bag 80, j as shown in figure 17. When the series of bag 80 is pulled through ! from the hole 64, the bag 80 will enter the drawer 78. The upper part 86 of the bag 80 is open, while the lower part 90 of the bag 80 is closed.

! As shown in figure 2, once the bag 80 has passed 5 substantially through the hole 64, the upper part 86 can be placed around the rim 58 of the receptacle 50, so that the pouch 80 remains open. The pouches 80 can be appropriately sized such that, when placed around the rim 58, the pouch 80 It defines a volume substantially equal to the volume of the drawer 78, as , 10 shows in figure 2. The lower part 90 of the bag 80, and the perforated line 84 which serves as connection to the next bag 80 in the series, may be located just below the divider 62, when the bag 80 is placed in the receptacle 50. When the bag 80 is disposed as it is ! shown in Figure 2, the receptacle 50 is operable with the 15 hands free, in such a way that you can receive garbage, where the garbage is contained within the bag 80, which is placed around the flange 58. j Referring to FIG. 10, divider 62 may be Selectively removable. The divider 62 can be maintained within the 20 splitter slot 1 14 with the nature of a flex fit and can be an independent piece that is not attached to the inner surface 104 of the outer hollow part 54. In addition, the entire receptacle 50, including the ! Divider 62, can be made of plastic. Therefore, divider 62 and the part outer hollow 54 allow elastic deformation which allows repeatedly inserting the divider 62 and removing it from the divider slot 1 14, beyond the narrower upper band 1 16, without significant plastic deformation occurring within the outer hollow part 54 or of the divider 62. Removing the divider 62 beyond the upper band 1 6, as shown in Figure 10, removes the barrier between the drawer 78 and the compartment 76. Thus, after the divider 62 has been removed, the bags 80 can be inserted into the compartment 76 through the opening 60. In this way, the receptacle 50 can be filled with the bags 80, when the stacking of bags 124 in the compartment 76 has been exhausted, thus allowing repeated use of the receptacle 50. Referring to Figure 1, the divider 62 has an upper part 68, a lower part 70 and an outer flange 66. The outer flange 66 can be curved to make it possible even more insertion and removal of the divider 62 beyond the upper band 1 16 of the divider slot 1 14. The divider 62 can be made of a single sheet of material that curves down around the edges to form the outer rim 66. Referring to Figure 2, the interior 72 of the divider 62 can be concave, so that the interior 72 curves generally downward from the outer rim 66 to the bottom point in the hole 64. Referring to Figure 12, the The hole 64 defined by the divider 62 can be cross-shaped 128 created by the intersection of a narrow slot 130 and a wide slot 132. The wide slot 132 can be sized appropriately to accommodate a user's thumb and finger. This makes it possible for the user to get through the divider 62 to the compartment 76 to take the first bag 80 in a series. This characteristic feature is particularly important when the bags 80 are located below the divider 62 in the compartment 76, such as when the receptacle 50 has been refilled or when the upper pouch 80 has fallen below the divider 62. The hole 64 in the divider 62 is of ample size, such that the bags 80 can be pulled through one at a time, but is small enough, so that it prevents more than one bag 80 from being pulled through at a time. Referring to Figure 13, once the first bag 80 has been placed around the rim 58 of the receptacle 50, it is ready to be loaded with garbage. Since the bag 80 is held open by the flange 58, the bag 80 can be filled without the user needing to splice receptacle 50, as illustrated in the hands-free operation in Figure 13. Referring to Figure 14, after the bag 80 has been filled to the user's satisfaction, the bag 80 can be closed. The upper part 86 of the bag 80 can include an adhesive strip 92 over a half part of the opening 88 which allows the two halves of the open bag 80 is joined together at the top 86, as shown in Figure 14. Accordingly, the bag 80 is clogged by pressing the bag 80 to close it along the top 86 of the adhesive strip 92. As the opening 88 of the bag 80 is clogged with both hands, the user can begin also to lift the bag 80 from the receptacle 50. As the bag 80 of the receptacle 50 is lifted, the lower part 90 of the bag 80 can pass through the divider 62, thus pulling the upper part 86 of the subsequent bag 80 through the divider 62, as shown in figure 14. Referring to figure 15, once the bottom part 90 of the bag 80 filled to unoccupied the report 58, the user can hold the subsequent bag 80 below the perforated line 84. Then the user can separate the filled bag 80 from the subsequent bag 80, by detaching it along the perforated line 84, as shown in Figure 15. The filled and sealed bag 80 is now ready for transport or disposal. The bag 80 can be sized so that it fits inside another receptacle, such as, for example, the main garbage receptacle of a kitchen or bathroom, as shown in Figure 30. Referring to Figure 30, they can deposit slips of the filled filled bags 80 into a main garbage receptacle 504 and the large garbage bag 506, before the main receptacle needs to be emptied. In other situations, the receptacle 50 can also serve as the main receptacle for garbage at a location. Referring to Figure 16, the final step of using the receptacle 50 is to place the subsequent empty bag 80 around the rim 58 of the receptacle 50. When the bag 80 is thus positioned, the receptacle 50 is again ready to receive garbage and can continue the cycle of filling and discarding the bags 80 supplied. The cycle of filling and depositing bags 80 may continue until such time as all the bags 80 in the compartment 76 have been supplied, filled and removed. Referring to figure 17, the plurality of bags 80 is joined in a series, such that the perforated line 84 connects the bottom 90 of the first bag 80 to the top 86 of the second bag 80, the bottom 90 of the second bag 80 to the top 86 of the third bag 80, and so on, until the end of the Serie. The perforated line 84, which represents a weak point in the series of bags 80, ensures that, when the user attempts to separate the bags 80, the detachment occurs along the perforated line 84. Referring to FIG. 18, the bags 80 may have a first seal 136 and a second seal 138 on a first edge 150 and a second edge 152, respectively, thereby dividing the bags 80 into a front wall 140 and a rear wall 142. The bottom 90 of each bag 80 may include a third gasket 144, in which the bag 80 is sealed to close just above the perforated line 84. The bags 80 are not sealed to close below the perforated line 84, thus ensuring that the bag 80 will have an opening 88 along the top 86, when it separates from the bottom 90 of the upper bag 80, as shown in Figure 18. Along the top 86 of the bags 80, just below the perforated line 84, the bags 80 may have an adhesive strip 92 located on the inner surface 146 of the front wall 140 or the rear wall 142 of the bag. A non-adhesive cover strip 94, shown as removed partially in Figure 18, it can cover the adhesive strip 92, so that the adhesive strip 92 does not adhere to the other side of the bag 80, until the cover strip 94 is removed. The cover strip 94 can be removed, when the user wants to close the bag to close it. When the user presses the front wall 140 and the rear wall 142 together along the top 86, the adhesive strip 92 will seal the bag 80. The bags can be folded into a stack 124, so that they can be inserted into the bag. compartment 76 of the receptacle 50, as shown in Figure 2. The bags 80 can be folded anywhere along the series, as they move from one side to the other along the lower part 108 of the receptacle 50, thereby creating a stack 124 with limited length and width. The stack 124 will be deployed from the top down, as the bags 80 are supplied through the divider 62. Other arrangements for storing the bags 80 in the compartment 76 can be used, such as, for example, by placing the series of bags on a roller. With reference to figures 18 and 19, the bags 80 are made of plastic. More specifically, the bags 80 can be made of odor-proof plastic, so that the bag 80 is substantially impermeable to odors. Accordingly, when the bag 80 is sealed to close it, odors will generally be prevented from escaping from the bag 80. Thus, odorous garbage can be sealed in the bag 80 and deposited in a larger receptacle, as shown. in figure 30.

Since odors do not escape from the bag 80, the sealed bag 80 may remain in a larger pocket 504, until the larger bag 506 is filled without subjecting the surrounding area to odors that would necessitate emptying or moving the larger pocket. , before it was filled. The bags 80 may also include liquid absorbing agents, odor neutralizing agents, antimicrobial agents or fragrance releasing agents in order to better mitigate the effects of particularly fragrant or unhealthy garbage. In one embodiment, the bags can be heat resistant at a temperature of 204 ° C. It will be appreciated that bags and receptacles of various sizes and configurations can be used. For example, the bags could be bags reinforced with gussets 54, as shown in Fig. 19. Referring to Fig. 17, the bag 80 can have a height 160 in a first range of 13 to 76 cm and a width 162 in a first interval of 13 to 76 cm. The bag 80 can have a height 160 in a second range of 20 to 30 cm and a width 162 in a second range of 23 to 38 cm. In one embodiment, the bag can have a height 160 of 23 cm and a width 162 of 30 cm. Referring to Figure 5, the receptacle 50 can have a height 172 in a first range of 13 to 76 cm and a width 74 in a first range of 13 to 76 cm. The receptacle 50 can have a height 172 in a second interval of 18 to 30 cm and a width 174 in a second 18 to 30 cm interval. In one embodiment, the receptacle 50 may have a height 172 of 22 cm and a width 174 of 20 cm. Referring to Figure 20, another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The receptacle 200 is similarly configured to the receptacle of Figure 1, but the outer hollow portion 202 of the receptacle 200 is not hourglass-shaped. The receptacle 200 is tapering instead of the flange 204, through the divider slot 206, to the lower portion 208 along generally straight lines, as shown in Figures 21 and 22. The receptacle 200 is also not Oval shaped. The front part 210 and the rear part 212 are flat and the sides 214, 216 are rounded. The divider 226 of the receptacle 200 defines a plane within the outer rim 228, as shown in Figure 23. However, the receptacle 200 of Figure 20 and the receptacle 50 of Figure 21 operate in essentially the same manner. Referring to Figure 24, another embodiment of the present invention is shown, the receptacle 300 may include an outer hollow portion 302 defining a cavity 304, a ridge 306 defining an opening 308, a drawer 310, a compartment 312, a plurality of bags 314, an upper portion 320 and a lower portion 322. The outer hollow portion 302 may define the exterior of the receptacle 300, as well as the flange 306 and the drawer 310, as shown in Figure 24. The drawer 310 of receptacle 300 is the space that is below the rim 306 and above in the inverted part 324 of the outer hollow portion 302, ie the drawer wall 326. According to FIG. thereby, the drawer 310 is outside the cavity 304, while the compartment 312 is inside the cavity 304. Referring to Figures 24 and 25, the receptacle 300 may be cylindrical in shape. The lower portion 322 may be circular and planar, while the outer hollow portion 302 extends from the lower portion 322 to the flange 306 as a cylinder. Referring to Figure 26, flange 306 is at an angle, such that it can extend from front portion 316 of receptacle 300 to rear portion 318 at an angle of approximately 30 degrees. Referring to Figure 26, the drawer 310 is concave and has a generally flat bottom 328. The drawer wall 326 may be a continuous part of the outer hollow part 302. In this embodiment, the drawer wall 326 also serves as a divider 342. Drawer wall 326 is not removable, but if it includes a hole 332 through which the bags of the compartment 312 can pass to the drawer 310, as in the modalities described above. The hole 332 can be cross-shaped, as shown in Figure 27, and is located in the lower part 328 of the drawer 310. The two grooves 336, 338 forming the cross 334 can be of equal size and the bags 314 they can pass through any slot 336, 338 or both. Referring to Figs. 26, after the bag 3 4 has been fed through the hole 332, the bag 80 can be placed around the rim 306 to receive garbage. After the bag is filled, the bag 314 is removed and replaced as described herein.

Referring to Figure 28, the bottom portion 322 of the receptacle 300 is removable. Since the receptacle 300 can not have a removable divider, a removable bottom 322 allows a user to access the compartment 312 to load it with the bags 314.
