Definitions

  • the invention refers to a litter bin comprising a casing with an opening for fitting a bag.
  • the bin In the field of litter bins and wastepaper baskets (hereinafter called the bin) a common problem is to fit the bin-liner, i.e. garbage bag or disposal bag, (hereinafter called the bag) into the bin.
  • the bag When the bag needs to be changed the older bag is replaced by a new and empty bag.
  • One problem occurs when the bag is somewhat too narrow to fit the bin since it is a strenuous task both to remove the old bag and to try to fit the new bag onto the rim of the bin.
  • Another problem occurs if the bag is too wide since the bag, either partly or completely, may fall off the rim and into the bin.
  • the bag and the bin must be made to fit each other perfectly to avoid the above problems.
  • the invention refers to a bin according to the appended claim 1 , where the bin comprises a casing with a top opening for fitting a bag, and where the invention is characterised in that the bin comprises a first beam for fitting a first bag portion when the bin is in an open position and a second beam for fitting a second bag portion being opposite the first bag portion when the bin is in a semi-closed position, and where the first beam is arranged to actuate the second beam when the bin is changed from the semi-closed position to a closed position such that the second bag portion relatively is moved away from the first bag portion by the relative movement of at least a part of the first beam and at least a part of the second beam.
  • actuates refers to a continuous contact and transferral of energy.
  • the point or surface where the first beam engages the second beam is hereinafter called the engagement portion.
  • the first and second bag portions are part of an upper part of the bag forming a part of an opening of the bag.
  • the first beam has a first rim portion and the second beam has a second rim portion over which the first and second bag portions are fitted respectively.
  • the first and second rim portions are positioned essentially opposite each other.
  • the first rim portion may be of the same length as the first beam, but may also be of different length (Y-direction).
  • the second rim portion may be of the same length as the second beam, but is preferably of a different length (Y-direction).
  • the first beam and the second beam form a rim over which the bag has been neatly folded and shaped by the relative movement of the first and second rim portions.
  • One advantage of the invention is thus that the change of bag becomes simple since in the open position and semi-closed position, the circumference of the opening of the bag is larger than the corresponding length of the first rim portion and the second rim portion taken together, thereby making it easy for a user to fit the bag onto the first and second rim portions.
  • One further advantage is that in the closed position at least a part of the first beam and at least a part of the second beam, i.e. at least the first and second rim portions, have moved away from each other such that the opening of the bag is optimally shaped and fitted onto the bin.
  • shaped refers to the upper part of the bag being manipulated such that the opening of the bag has an optimal circumference.
  • the shaping may include stretching of the material in the upper part of the bag, but a less elastic or non elastic bag may be shaped without the stretching of the bag material.
  • the shaping may even out irregularities and/or unfold folded parts of the bag in order to get the optimal circumference.
  • the first rim portion is thus at a relative distance from the second rim portion,
  • the relative distance decreases from the open position to the position where the first beam actuates the second beam, and from there the distance increases upon further movement to the closed position.
  • the relative distance between the first rim portion and the second rim portion reaches its minimum value when the first beam first comes into contact with the second beam.
  • the cross-section of the bin top opening is preferably rectangular or square, but may also have a different geometry.
  • the bin has a front portion, a back portion and side portions connecting the front portion and the back portion.
  • the bin also has a bottom portion and a top portion.
  • the top portion comprises the top opening and the rim.
  • the second beam may be in the form of a lever arm, or a set of lever arms, for an improved leverage, and advantageously comprises pivoting means for balancing the lever arm or lever arms.
  • the second beam may also be equipped with gear wheels, for example step up gears, for an improved transmission ratio.
  • leverage refers to the transmission of kinetic energy from the first beam to the second rim via the second beam when the first beam actuates the second beam.
  • the second beam comprises a lever portion that transforms the movement of the second beam, when actuated by the first beam, to a greater movement of the second rim portion relative the first beam portion.
  • first rim portion travels a certain distance in one direction (X-direction) the second rim portion then travels a greater distance in the same direction.
  • the distance between the first bag portion and the second bag portion increases when the first beam actuates the second beam.
  • the first and second rim portions are positioned essentially at the same height, i.e. in a vertical direction (Z-direction), and are both positioned at a distance from the engagement portion.
  • the lever portion may comprise a convex surface facing the first beam.
  • the second rim portion is placed at the top end of the convex surface.
  • the second beam is preferably pivotally mounted in the back portion of the bin at a position lower than the engagement portion.
  • convex refers to the lever portion having a curvilinear cross-section, i.e. the convex surface may be a cylindrical segment, or spherical segment, or any other suitable form having a curvilinear cross-section such that the lever portion bends away from the first beam from a point in line with the engagement portion, to the second rim portion.
  • the second rim portion is formed such that the second bag portion is secured to the second rim portion upon application of the second bag portion.
  • the second rim portion is therefore angled away from the first rim portion.
  • the reason for this is that the angle of the second rim portion is intended to hook and secure the second bag portion upon application, so that the second bag portion moves along with the second rim portion upon actuation, and thereby shaping the upper part of the bag.
  • the first beam is at a first distance from the second beam in the open position and at a second distance in the semi- closed position, where the first distance is greater than the second distance.
  • the first beam is also in contact with the second beam from a position between the semi-closed position and the closed position, and to the closed position.
  • the first beam is at a first distance from the second beam in the open position and in contact with the second beam from the semi-closed position to the closed position, i.e. the second distance is zero.
  • the bin comprises a side member positioned along at least a part of the first rim.
  • the side member is at a third distance from the first beam in the open position and in contact with the first beam (hereinafter called the clamping position) in a position being the open position or in a position between the open position and the semi-closed position.
  • in contact means that when the bag is fitted to the first beam the side member presses the bag to the first beam and thus clamps the first bag portion in position.
  • the bin comprises a front door making up the front portion or a part of the front portion when the bin is in the closed position.
  • the side member may be attached to the front door or may be a part of the front door.
  • the door is pivotally mounted to the bottom portion of the bin.
  • the door may be a part of the front portion and pivotally mounted to the front portion at a distance from the bottom portion.
  • the first beam is slidably mounted to the side member.
  • the first beam may be equipped with sliding means such as pivots or corresponding sliding means such as sliding axes, or slide bearings or the like.
  • the side member is then equipped with corresponding receiving means in the form of recesses, i.e. elongated openings, in which the sliding means is slidably mounted.
  • the first beam slides in the recess via the sliding means from the open position into the clamped position and vice versa.
  • This sliding arrangement may also be arranged by equipping the first beam with the recesses and the side member with the sliding means.
  • the first beam comprises a first and a second arm extending in a direction essentially perpendicular from the front portion.
  • the second beam comprises two corresponding plates positioned on either side of the lever portion. Each plate extends in a direction from bottom to top of the bin, between where the second beam is pivotally mounted in the back portion of the bin and the second rim portion.
  • the arms engage the two corresponding plates upon actuation.
  • the first arm comprises a third rim portion and the second arm a fourth rim portion. In the semi-closed position the bag is fitted also over the third and fourth rim portions.
  • the first, second, third, and fourth rim portions form a rectangular rim over which the bag is neatly folded.
  • the side member clamps the first portion of the bag along the first rim portion and the second rim portion shapes the bag according to the above along the first and second arms.
  • the first beam may be U-shaped, in the form of an open rectangle or open square, or in any other suitable shape for actuating the second beam.
  • the side member and the first beam may be equipped with fastening means for locking the side member to the first beam in the clamping position.
  • fastening means may be in the form of a snap function device, or any other suitable attachment device that can lock the side member to the first beam in the clamping position.
  • the lever portion then gives a diminished relative distance between the first rim portion and the second rim portion due to the linear movement of the first beam and the rotational movement of the second beam in the direction of the opening of the door.
  • the first beam no longer affects the second beam and the circumferential shaping of the upper part of the bag is released and the bag can be removed easily.
  • the removal of the bag is preferably done when the door is fully open.

  • the first beam actuates the second beam via the arms thereby inducing rotational movement of the second beam.
  • the rotational movement moves the lever portion increasing the relative distance between the first rim portion and the second rim portion thereby shaping the opening of the bag.
