receptacle 3 having generally upwardly extendingsides 6 and abottom 8 defining aninterior space 10 for receiving trash, garbage or other waste. The waste can 2 may be made of any rigid or semi-rigid material including plastic, metal or the like. In one preferred embodiment, injection molded poly-propylene may be used. The waste can 2 includes atop rim 4 defining the opening 14 into theinterior space 10. - A
shroud 12 fits onto thesides 6 and rim 4 such that it is disposed adjacent therim 4 and surrounds the opening 14 intointerior space 10. Theshroud 12 defines aledge 13 that sits on top of ashelf 17 formed in thereceptacle 3 and aledge 15 that sits on top ofrim 4. Referring toFIGS. 4 and 5 ,shroud 12 includes a downwardly extendingflange 11 that extends about the periphery of the shroud. A plurality oftransverse ribs 9 extend from theflange 11 to ledge 13. Theribs 9 are received invertical slots 7 formed inholders 5 spaced around the periphery of thereceptacle 3. The ribs also provide vent spaces in the open areas between theledge 13 andreceptacle 3 where air can vent from between the trash bag and waste can to the exterior of the waste can. Allowing air to vent from the can eliminates “bag puff”. Bag puff is the tendency of a plastic bag to billow away from the interior of the waste can as a result of air trapped between the bag and the waste can. The receptacle may also includevent holes 70 for venting air from the waste can to prevent bag puff as shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 3 , theshroud 12 can be removed simply by lifting theshroud 12 from the waste can. Theshroud 12 has aninterior opening 16 that is substantially coextensive with the opening 14 ofreceptacle 3. Extending upwardly from theshroud 12 for a major portion of the periphery of theshroud 12 is abag ring 18. Thebag ring 18 comprises a substantially vertical flange that extends for substantially the entire periphery of theopening 16. In the illustrated embodiment, thebag ring 18 has a gap in the area of hinges 24 but otherwise has an uninterrupted length as best shown inFIG. 1 . Theshroud 12 also reinforces the upper portion of thecan 2 to add greater rigidity to thereceptacle 3 near the open upper edge. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , the perimeter edge ofshroud 12 is located inside of theperimeter edge 4 a oftop rim 4 ofreceptacle 3 such that thebag ring 18 and most of theshroud 12 is located inwardly from theouter edge 4 a ofrim 4. The openupper edge 50 a of a trash bag orbag liner 50 is folded over the top edge ofbag ring 18 and fits tightly around thebag ring 18 to support the bag on theshroud 12 as shown inFIG. 6 . Becausering 18 is located interior of theperimeter edge 4 a ofrim 4 and thelid 22 is substantially coextensive with therim 4, thelid 22 extends over thebag ring 18 andbag 50 such that the bag is hidden from view when the lid is closed as best shown inFIG. 2 . -
Lid 22 is connected to theshroud 12 at pivots 24 such that the lid pivots relative to the can to uncover and cover the shroud and open and close the can. Referring toFIG. 8 , pivots 24 can be formed of bosses 27 molded into the shroud that are engaged by slotted apertures 29 formed on thelid 22. In the closed position the bag is hidden from view by the lid. Springs may be provided at the hinges 24 to maintain the lid in the open position. - A
latch 30 may be formed on aflange 34 that extends from the front of theshroud 12. Latch 30 includes anengagement member 35 that engages alip 32 formed on the edge of thelid 22 to lock the lid in the closed position. Theengagement member 35 is formed with an upper surface that allows thelatch 30 to be flexed away from the locked position when thelid 22 is pushed to the closed position. Once thelid 22 clears theengagement member 35 thelatch 30 returns to the unflexed position and into engagement withlip 32. Thelatch 30 and/orlip 32 can flex slightly to allow thelatch 30 to be disengaged from thelip 32 and the lid opened. In the illustrated embodiment, apush button 39 is accessible when the lid is closed. A user pressesbutton 39 toflex latch 30 away fromlid 22 and disengageengagement member 35 fromlip 32. When thebutton 39 is released, the latch returns to the locking position. - The
flange 34 includes defines abag guide 36 that provides a visual reference to the user as to where the upper open edge of the bag should be located. With the bag located inside of the bag guide 36 (betweenlatch 30 and bag ring 18), the bag is hidden from view when thelid 22 is closed. The receptacle 102 also may include a bottom formed with afoot step 110. A user can step on thefoot step 110 when removing a full bag from the receptacle 102 to hold the receptacle in place as the bag is removed. - Referring to
FIG. 7 a plurality ofribs 40 may be provided along the sides of theshroud 12. Theribs 40 define spaces therebetween that allow air to vent from the receptacle and prevent bag puff as previously described. - Another embodiment of the shroud of the invention is shown in
FIG. 8 that is similar to the embodiment ofFIGS. 1 through 7 . Theshroud 112 may also include anaperture 52 formed in the flange 134 on the front of the shroud to allow excess bag material to be pulled through theaperture 52 and tucked into shroud to tightly cinch the bag aroundbag ring 18. In any of the embodiments, the shroud may also be raised from the receptacle and the bag or bag liner tucked under the shroud to cinch the bag on the bag ring and hide the bag from view when the lid is closed. - A
mechanical latch 60 may be provided along the back portion of theshroud 112 that pivots relative to the shroud to hold the bag in position. Thetop edge 50 a of thebag 50 is positioned on theshroud 112 as previously described such that thelatch 60 clamps on the bag to help retain the bag in position on the shroud. Thelatch 60 can flex slightly to allow thelatch 60 to be disengaged from the shroud 54 and the bag released. Thelatch 60 may be formed with a livinghinge 60 a to allow it to flex to open and close on the bag. Alternatively, the latch may be formed with a separate mechanical hinge and a spring that biases the latch to the closed, clamping position. - Another embodiment of the
shroud 212 of the invention is shown inFIG. 9 that is similar to the prior embodiments where like reference numerals are used to reference like components. Thebag ring 218 comprises a substantially vertical flange that extends around the periphery of theopening 216. Unlike the previous embodiment the bag ring extends for only a portion of the entire periphery of theopening 216 such that the bag ring is effectively divided into afirst section 218 a and asecond section 218 b.Hooks 219 are provided at the ends ofsections shroud 212. In one embodiment thesections hooks 219 are located at the corners of theshroud 212 such that when a bag is fit over thebag ring 218 the open end of the bag is engaged by thehooks 219 in the area of the bag where the bag follows the corners of the shroud. Thehooks 219 are formed as cantilevered members that extend from thebag ring 218 such that they can flex to accommodate and engage a bag. Further the hooks are formed withbarbs 221 engage and grip the bag. - As was explained with reference to the prior embodiments, the perimeter edge of
shroud 212 is located inside of theperimeter edge 4 a oftop rim 4 ofreceptacle 3 such that thebag ring 218 and most of theshroud 212 is located inwardly from theouter edge 4 a ofrim 4. The open upper edge of a trash bag or bag liner is folded over the top edge ofbag ring 218 and fits tightly around thebag ring 218 to support the bag on theshroud 212. Becausering 218 is located interior of theperimeter edge 4 a ofrim 4 and thelid 22 is substantially coextensive with therim 4, thelid 22 extends over thebag ring 218 and bag such that the bag is hidden from view when the lid is closed. - A
latch 230 may be formed on aflange 234 that extends from the front of theshroud 212, as previously described.Latch 230 includes anengagement member 235 that engages a lip formed on the edge of thelid 22 to lock the lid in the closed position. In the illustrated embodiment, thelatch 230 andpush button 239 are formed with less material than in the prior embodiments to allow a user to more easily flexlatch 230 away fromlid 22 and disengageengagement member 235. - Referring to
FIG. 10 , another embodiment of theshroud 312 of the invention is shown where like reference numerals are used to reference like components previously described with respect toFIGS. 1 through 7 . Theshroud 312 fits onto thesides 6 andrim 4 such that it is disposed adjacent therim 4 and surrounds theopening 14 intointerior space 10. Theshroud 312 defines aledge 313 that sits on top ofrim 4. Located at spaced intervals around the periphery of theshroud 312 are downwardly extendingflanges 311.Flanges 311 includeprojections 315 that engage aperipheral edge 321 of theopening 14 to create a mechanical “snap-fit” engagement between theshroud 312 and thereceptacle 3. Theprojections 315 are formed with angled camming surfaces 315 a and 315 b that engage the roundedperipheral edge 321 such that theflanges 311 andperipheral edge 321 can flex relative to one another to allow theshroud 312 to be pushed onto and pulled from thereceptacle 3. When theshroud 312 is in the installed position as shown inFIG. 10 , theflanges 311 andperipheral edge 321 return to their unflexed positions to create the “snap-fit” engagement between theshroud 312 andreceptacle 3. Pulling up on theshroud 312 flexes the components to allow the shroud to be removed fromreceptacle 3. - Specific embodiments of an invention are disclosed herein.
