- In another aspect, the present invention provides a disposal container which includes: a container body for containing items being disposed of, the container body defining a top opening, the container body having a step feature on an interior surface thereof disposed below the top opening; one or more diaphragms disposed inside the container body on the step features, each diaphragms having a disk shape that matches an interior cross-sectional shape of the container body at the step feature, each diaphragm being made of a flexible and resilient material and having a plurality of radial cuts which partition the diaphragm into a plurality of wedge shaped sections; and a lid disposed over the opening of the container body.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a waste disposal container according to an embodiment of the present invention. -
FIGS. 2 a and 2 b are partial cross-section view of the waste disposal container ofFIG. 1 showing the step features. -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the waste disposal container ofFIG. 1 with the diaphragm and retaining ring installed. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , a waste disposal container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes acontainer body 11, alid 12, one ormore diaphragms 14 and a retainingring 15. The container body 11 (which is not fully illustrated inFIG. 1 ) may have any suitable shape, such as a cylindrical shape, a tapered shape, etc., and its cross-section in the horizontal planes may be a round, oval or other shapes. Thecontainer body 11 has atop opening 11 a, and thelid 12 is provided to cover the top opening. Thelid 12 is preferably pivotally attached to thecontainer body 11 by a suitable jointing member such as ahinge 13 to open and close the waste disposal container. Alternatively, thelid 12 may be unattached tocontainer body 11, and can be placed on top of thebody 11 to close the container or removed to open it. - Near the top opening 11 a of the
container body 11, astep feature 11 b is formed on the interior surface of the container body (see cross-sectional views inFIGS. 1 , 2 a and 2 b). Thestep feature 11 b may be formed by a ring shaped protrusion as shown inFIG. 2 b, or by making the interior circumference of thecontainer body 11 slightly larger in a section below the top opening 11 a than another section below it as shown inFIG. 2 a. Thestep feature 11 b shown inFIG. 2 a or 2 b is located at a suitable distance from the top opening 11 a, such as 1 to 4 inches. Alternatively, thestep feature 11 b may be formed by a plurality of protrusions disposed on the interior surface at appropriate distances from the top opening 11 a. - Each
diaphragm 14 is a disk shaped member made of a flexible and resilient material such as rubber. The shape of the disk matches the cross-sectional shape of the interior of thecontainer body 11 at the step feature 11 b. Preferably, thediaphragm 14 has a narrow rim that is thicker or more rigid than the rest of the diaphragm. A plurality ofradial cuts 14 a are made in the flexible material to partition thediaphragm 14 into a plurality of wedgeshaped sections 14 b. Preferably, twodiaphragms 14 are overlapped with each other, where the two sets ofcuts 14 a of the two diaphragms are offset with respect to each other in the angular direction. The two overlapping diaphragms are placed inside thecontainer body 11 and rest on the step features 11 b. - The
retaining ring 15 is preferably a rigid or resilient member made of plastic or other suitable materials. The exterior shape of theretaining ring 15 matches the interior shape of a section of thecontainer body 11 between the top opening 11 a and the step features 11 b. Theretaining ring 15 is disposed above thediaphragm 14, so that the rim of the diaphragm is held between the step features 14 b and the retaining ring. Preferably, the height of theretaining ring 15 plus the thickness of the rim of the diaphragm is less than, or equal to, or slightly larger than the distance between the top opening 11 a and the step features 11 b, so that the retaining ring does not substantially protrude from the top opening of the container body and does not interfere with the closing of thelid 12. - In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the top rim of the
retaining ring 15 is curved outwardly and then downwardly, forming a circular groove that overhangs the top opening 11 a of the container body. - In a preferred embodiment, the section of the container body between the top opening 11 a and the
step feature 11 b has a cylindrical shape with a uniform diameter, thediaphragms 14 have a round shape, and theretaining ring 15 has a cylindrical shape with a uniform exterior diameter. In one particular example, theretaining ring 15 has an exterior diameter of approximately 6.5 inches, a height of approximately 2 inches, and a thickness of approximately 0.09 inches. In one particular example, the diaphragm has a diameter of approximately 6.5 inches, a thickness of approximately 0.1 inches near its outer edge and a thickness of approximately 0.04 elsewhere. - In use, the user opens the
lid 12 and removes theretaining ting 15 and thediaphragms 14. The user places a bag such as a disposable plastic bag inside the container, with the top edge of the bag hanging over and around the top opening 11 a of the container body. The user then places the diaphragms inside the container body and inside the bag such that the diaphragms rest on the step feature 11 b. Then, the user places theretaining ring 15 inside the container body and inside the bag such that the retaining ring rests above thediaphragms 14. An upper portion of the bag is now held between the interior surface of thecontainer body 11 and theretaining ring 15 and thediaphragms 14, whereby the bag is kept in place inside the container body. Thelid 12 can now be closed and the waste disposal container is ready for use. - Preferably, the two
diaphragms 14 are joined or attached together permanently or semi-permanently forming one unit, so that the user can handle the two diaphragms as one unit. Alternatively, the twodiaphragms 14 may be separate pieces, so that the user has to place one diaphragm on the step feature 11 a and then place the other diaphragm over the first one, taking care to offset thecuts 14 a of the two diaphragms. - In another embodiment, the
diaphragms 14 and theretaining ring 15 are joined or attached together permanently or semi-permanently forming one unit, so that the user can install the diaphragms and the retaining ring in one step. -
FIG. 3 is a top view of the disposal container with thediaphragms 14 and retainingring 15 installed, but with the lid removed to show the interior structures. The set (incomplete set) of dashedradial lines 14 a′ depict the cuts of the lower diaphragm not seen in the top view, showing the offset relationship of the two sets of cuts of the two diaphragms. - To dispose of a soiled item, the user opens the
lid 12 and pushes the item down against thediaphragms 14. The wedge shapedsections 14 b of the diaphragms deflect downwards to create an opening which allows the item to pass through the diaphragms and drop into the bag. The wedge shapedsections 14 b then return to their normal shape and closes the opening. In their normal (resting) shape, the diaphragms form a seal that significantly reduces or prevents the odor from the disposed items escaping to the outside of the disposal container. When two diaphragms are used and theircuts 14 a are offset, a more effective seal is created. - In the above-described waste disposal container, the retaining
ring 15 may be used without thediaphragm 14. The retaining ring will serve to retain the bag in place. Although no diaphragms are provided to form an odor seal, a seal serving this function may be formed in the lid of the disposal container. - In addition, the
diaphragms 14 may be used without a retaining ring. For example, the diaphragms themselves may be provided with a rigid frame, such as a metal or plastic frame, which rests on the step feature and can stay in place when the item being disposed of is pressed down against the diaphragm. The diaphragms may also server the function of holding the bag in place, or alternatively, the bag may be held in place by another suitable device. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modification and variations can be made in the waste item disposal container of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations that come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
