Definitions
- This invention relates to a bag assembly comprising a flexible bag and an assembly of telescoping members. It also relates to a method of filling a flexible bag.
- a bag assembly comprising a flexible bag and a plurality of members that are telescopically arranged inside one another, the members being transformable between an extended condition and a collapsed condition, the assembly having a substantially greater length in the extended condition than in the collapsed condition, the bag assembly having an extended condition in which the
- telescopically engaging members extend upwardly and the flexible bag is disposed substantially within the interior space defined by the members.
- Such a bag assembly is able, in its extended condition to support a flexible bag, which may be a bin liner, in a similar way to a domestic bin, for example for use in a kitchen, or in a larger version for use in place of a dustbin.
- a flexible bag which may be a bin liner, in a similar way to a domestic bin, for example for use in a kitchen, or in a larger version for use in place of a dustbin.
- the members are preferably able to be secured together in intermediate positions between fully extended and fully collapsed conditions. In that case a user can adjust the height and volume of the assembly in an extended condition to suit a particular situation. There may be a
- multiplicity of discrete intermediate positions or the height may be continuously variable.
- the members are preferably able to be secured together in a fully collapsed condition.
- the members may be able to be secured together by a post on one member projecting into a recess or opening in another member.
- the members may be able to be secured together by rotation of one member relative to another.
- the members are secured together by a generally dome-shaped protuberance on one member engaging in a recess or opening in another member.
- a plurality of recesses or openings are preferably provided in said another member at longitudinal spacings along said another member, with grooves extending between adjacent recesses or openings, and the generally dome-shaped
- protuberance on said one member is selectively engageable in the recesses or openings and is able to travel along said grooves between adjacent recesses or openings.
- the adjacent recesses or openings are preferably provided along a linear path substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the members.
- the members are able to be secured together by one or more discrete protuberances on one member
- the protuberances are preferably wedge-shaped. Preferably, they are provided close to an end region of one member for engaging another member when the members are in a collapsed condition. Such an arrangement provides a very simple method of holding members together in a collapsed condition.
- the members may be able to be secured together by virtue of friction forces between adjacent faces of respective telescopically engaging members.
- Such a method of securing is advantageous in that it requires no
- the members may be securable at least partly by a fastener (for example the bayonet
- fastener or dome-shaped protuberance described above
- Such an alternative or additional fastening arrangement may be made as secure and reliable as the designer wishes.
- a fastening member may be mounted in one end of a
- the members may be securable in an extended condition by a protuberance which may interfere with the telescoping movement of one member relative to another.
- the protuberance may for example be provided on one member and engage an edge of another member when the members are in an extended condition.
- arrangement may be such that in order to telescope the members together, it is necessary to deform one or both of them elastically.
- the members may also be securable in a collapsed condition. They may be secured in the collapsed condition by any of the mechanisms described above for securing the members in an extended condition.
- the plurality of members are arranged such that they are not rotatable relative to one another about their axis. Especially if it is desired to be able to secure the members together in a collapsed or extended condition, it is useful if their relative rotational positions are substantially fixed, which may be achieved in a variety of ways.
- the members Whilst it is within the scope of the invention for the members to be of any of a wide variety of cross-sections, including rectangular or square cross-sections, it will usually be preferred that the members are of a generally round cross-section.
- the members may be of a circular cross-section or of a generally circular, but not an exactly circular, cross-section.
- An almost circular cross- section is advantageous in many cases for an interior shape but a degree of non-circularity may be advantageous for preventing relative rotation.
- the cross- section may be slightly oval; another possibility is to provide a longitudinal projection on a member engaging in a corresponding longitudinal groove of an adjacent member.
- Each member may be formed with a formation that provides a longitudinal projection on one face of the member and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a longitudinal groove on an opposite face of the member.
- the members are rotatable relative to one another .
- the telescoping members may be of constant cross- section along their length but they may be of other varying cross-section. In an embodiment described below they are of generally frustoconical shape; in that case the smaller cross-section end of each frustoconical member is
- the half angle of the cone defining the frustoconical members is preferably less than 10 degrees and more preferably less than five degrees; as will be understood a half angle of 10 degrees corresponds to a full cone angle of 20 degrees at the notional apex of the cone.
- the half angle of the cone is preferably
- the half angle of the cone should not be too great. In an embodiment of the invention described below the half angle of the cone is about four degrees.
- the assembly may be made of any suitable material, in particular, but not exclusively, of metal or plastics material. In an embodiment of the invention described below the assembly is made of plastics material.
- the lower end of the assembly of members may be at least partially closed.
- the smaller cross-section end is, in use, the bottom of the assembly and a partially closed bottom may support the bottom of a bin liner.
- the end may be fully closed; that has the advantage of retaining the contents of the interior of the assembly within the
- the full or partial closure may be effected by providing the innermost member with a bottom portion extending across its lower end.
- the bottom portion may be upwardly curved, at least in the region of the side(s) of the assembly, to smooth a transition from an approximately horizontal bottom portion to an approximately vertical side portion.
- the bottom portion may be of approximately hemispherical shape or some other curved shape that may be constant around a central vertical axis of the assembly. Such arrangements further facilitate removal of a bag.
- the assembly may further include a lid for closing over the upper end of the assembly.
- the larger cross-section end is, in use, the top of the assembly.
- the lid may include one or more handles. It may be a separate part from the assembly of members, or it may be connected, for example via a pivotal connection, to the assembly of members. In the latter case the lid is preferably connected to the outermost member in the region of its upper end.
- the larger cross-section end of the assembly may be arranged to receive the top of the flexible bag and may be provided with a particular arrangement or configuration for that purpose.
- the upper end of the assembly may be provided with a handle connected to its upper region.
- a handle connected to its upper region.
- a pair of handles are
- the assembly of telescopically engaging members may be sold separately from the flexible bag with which they are used.
- the first aspect of the invention is also directed to the members per se. Accordingly, in the first aspect of the invention there is provided a plurality of members that are telescopically arranged inside one
- the assembly of members may be securable in an
- the assembly may also have any of the other features referred to above.
- the overall length of the assembly is preferably not more than 60%, and more preferably less than 40% of the overall length of the assembly in an extended condition.
- the overall length of the assembly is preferably not more than 150% of the average length of a member.
- control may be provided to allow a user to adjust the
- a bag assembly comprising a flexible bag, a plurality of members that are telescopically arranged inside one another and fastening means, the members being transformable between an extended condition and a collapsed condition, the assembly having a substantially greater length in the extended condition than in the collapsed condition, the bag assembly having an extended condition in which the members are disposed with at least a lower portion disposed substantially within the flexible bag, and having a collapsed condition in which they can be at least partially secured by the fastening means.
- the assembly may be used for filling relatively large flexible bags, for example those used in the construction industry.
- One end of the assembly may be arranged to receive the top of the flexible bag and may be provided with a particular
- the fastening means may comprise a fastener which is able to secure together the outermost and innermost members of the assembly in the collapsed condition of the assembly. It is not essential to secure any frustoconical members disposed between the innermost and outermost members because they may be retained by the securing of the
- the assembly of members comprises a series of members in which each member flares outwardly in the same longitudinal direction so that the assembly of
- the assembly when in its extended condition, flares steadily outwardly from one end of the assembly of relatively small cross-section to an opposite end of relatively large cross- section.
- the assembly may be used with either the wider end or the narrower end at the top; generally, it will be preferred to use the assembly with the wider end at the top.
- the assembly having a substantially greater length in the extended condition than in the
- the method may further include, after the step of adding material to the bag through the open end of the members and before the step of lifting the assembly of members out of the bag, the steps of:
- the assembly of members is preferably used with the wider end of the assembly as the upper end and the narrower end in the bag to be filled, since this makes the end through which material is delivered to the bag the wider end, but it is possible to use the assembly the other way up .
- the first aspect of the invention relates to placing a bag in the assembly of members
- the second aspect of the invention relates to placing the assembly of members in a bag. It is possible for the same assembly of members to be used in both aspects of the invention.
- a method of the first aspect of the invention may also include placing the assembly of members in a flexible bag in the extended condition, adding material to the bag through the open end of the members, and lifting the assembly of members out of the bag.
- the assembly of members employed in either aspect of the invention may include one or more accessories, either incorporated into the assembly or provided as an additional component.
- the bottom of the assembly may be provided with a sieve; when used in the second aspect of the invention, the sieving would occur principally as the assembly was lifted upwardly. If the same assembly were used in the first aspect of the invention the sieve would provide a partially closed bottom on which a bin liner would rest.
- the various aspects of the invention as described herein are closely related and that therefore essential or preferred features of one aspect of the invention may, unless indicated otherwise or clearly inappropriate, be incorporated into other aspects of the invention as described herein.
- the apparatus according to the second aspect of the invention may employ members that are of constant cross-section along their lengths or of frustoconical shapes. It may also employ any of the fastening arrangements described with respect to the first aspect of the invention, including for example the bayonet fastening arrangement, the dome-shaped protuberance or the wedge-shaped protuberance.
- any aspect of the method of the invention may use an apparatus according to the same, or any other, aspect of the invention.
- an apparatus according to any aspect of the invention may be so configured as to be suitable for use in a method according to the same, or any other, aspect of the invention.

- Figs. 1 to 3 show a bin assembly comprising an
- a lid 4 which in the emdodiment shown has a handle 5.
- all the parts are made of plastics material.
- the handle 5 is mounted centrally on the lid 4 and the lid 4 can simply be lifted off the top of the member 1.
- a pair of handles 6 are provided on diametrically opposite sides of the top of the member 1.
- Each of the members 1, 2 and 3 is of almost circular cross-section but with a small degree of eccentricity.
- the members fit closely inside one another each having a slightly wider top end than bottom end.
- the side walls are inclined at about four degrees to the vertical.
- the members are dimensioned such that they can nest inside one another in a collapsed condition. In this collapsed condition, the exterior dimensions of the innermost member 3 are a little smaller than the interior dimensions of the middle member 2, whose exterior
- the members 1, 2 and 3 are dimensioned such that when the assembly is extended to the position shown in Fig. 1, the exterior upper region of the innermost member 3 bears against the interior lower region of the middle member 2, and the exterior upper region of the middle member 2 bears against the interior lower region of the outermost member 1. Those forces result in sufficient friction to hold the members 1, 2 and 3 in the position shown unless a substantial force is applied .
- innermost member 3 is unable to pass through the bottom of the middle member 2 and, similarly, the top of the middle member 2 is unable to pass through the bottom of the outermost member 1.
- a fastening member 7 is shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4 for securing the members 1, 2 and 3 together in both a
- fastening member 7 has a head 9, a shaft 9A and a latch 10 all formed integrally with one another.
- the member 7 is rotatably mounted on the outermost member 1 and in one rotational orientation, the latch 10 is able to pass through oblong holes 8 in the lower portions of the members 2 and 3.
- the latch 10 of the fastening member 7 can be inserted through the holes 8 and then rotated through one quarter of a full rotation to hold all the members 1, 2 and 3 together in a collapsed condition as shown in Fig. 3.
- a further fastening member 7A (not shown) may be provided, mounted on a lower region of the middle member and
- the middle member 2 may also be provided with an oblong hole in its upper region and that hole may be engaged by the fastening member 7 to securely lock the assembly in its extended condition.
- protruding domes 16 may be formed on the exterior of the members 2 and 3 towards their upper ends in order to retain the assembly in its extended condition.
- Fig. 7 shows how the bottom edge of member 2 rests on the top of the dome 16, but can be pushed over the dome by a downward force on the member 2, with elastic deformation of the members 2 and 3 allowing the passage of member 2 over the dome 16.
- a recess 15 is formed in the bottom of the lowest member 3. A user may place a foot in the recess to hold the assembly on the floor while lifting the assembly upwards into its extended position.
- a stage in the removal of a bin liner from the interior of the bin is shown.
- a bin liner 11 has been fitted around the top of the outermost frustoconical member 1 with the assembly secured in its extended position and the bin liner has been filled with waste material.
- the lid 4 is removed, the securing of the members 1, 2 and 3 in their extended position is released by rotating and withdrawing the fastening members 7 and 7A and a user then presses downwardly on the top of the periphery of the outermost frustoconical member 1 collapsing the assembly around the bin liner and arriving at the state shown schematically in Fig. 5 with more than half of the bin liner 11 projecting out of the top of the assembly.
- the bin assembly can be returned to its extended condition, locked in that condition by the fastening members 7 and 7A and a new bin liner fitted inside the assembly with the top of the liner engaging around the top of the outermost
- frustoconical member 1, and the lid 4 can then be placed on top of the assembly.
- Figs. 6A and 6B illustrate a second advantageous use of the assembly of frustoconical members, with the lid 4 removed.
- the assembly is inserted inside a flexible bag 12 and used to assist filling of the bag.
- a user first adjusts the assembly to its extended position and, if desired, locks it in that position using the fastening members 7 and 7A (7A not being shown) .
- the user holds the top of the bag 12 open and inserts the assembly in an upright orientation with the wider end of the assembly at the top.
- the user then has both hands free to load material (for example, sand gravel or rubble) into the assembly and there is no risk of the sides of the bag 12 obstructing the opening into the assembly since the top of the assembly is above the top of the sides of the bag.
- material for example, sand gravel or rubble
- Fig. 6A shows the condition of the assembly and assembly towards the end of this second filling process.
- the sequence of lifting the assembly to allow material in the assembly to fall out into the bag 12 can be repeated several more times until the bag is almost full.
- Figs. 8 to 11 show a bin assembly similar in various respects to the assembly shown in Figs. 1 to 5 but with some significant modifications.
- the assembly shown in Figs. 8 to 11 will now be described. It generally
- the members 101, 102 and 103 are all of generally circular cylindrical shape and telescopically engage one another.
- member 101 comprises a cylindrical sidewall 106, and a curved bottom 107.
- the bottom 107 is of
- the curvature of the bottom 107 may be sharper than shown in Fig. 10 so as to provide a smoother transition from the bottom 107 to the sidewall 106.
- the member 101 is also provided with a pair of laterally projecting feet 108. A user can place their own feet on the top of the feet 108 when removing a bag or when extending the bin assembly, to keep the member 101 on the ground.
- the member 101 may be provided with an outwardly extending rim or flange around its bottom for the same purpose.
- the middle member 102 has a generally cylindrical wall 111 on the outside of which, towards the top, are a pair of short outwardly projecting posts 112, of which one is only just visible in Fig. 9.
- a pair of plates 113 which each carry a vertical groove 114 from which four transverse grooves 115 extend.
- Each of the transverse grooves 115 is formed with a short upward extension 116 at its end.
- only one of the plates 113 can be seen fully but it will be understood that both plates 113 are of the same design.
- the sidewall 106 of the bottom member 101 is also provided with a pair of posts 112 on the outside towards the top, one of the posts 112 being just visible in
- the posts 112 on the member 101 engage in the grooves 114 on the member 102 to provide two bayonet fastening arrangements between the members.
- the posts 112 on the member 101 engage the lowermost transverse grooves 115 on the member 102, the members 101 and 102 are extended to the maximum extent, and when the posts 112 sit at the uppermost ends of the grooves 114 the members 101 and 102 are telescoped to the maximum extent.
- the other three grooves 115 in each plate 113 define three
- the upper, outermost, member 103 is also provided with plates 113, the tops of which are just visible in Fig. 8.
- the member 103 is of circular cylindrical shape and fits over the middle member 102, with the posts 112 at the top of the middle member 102 engaging the grooves 114, 115 in the plates 113 on the member 103 to provide the same kind of fastening arrangement between the members 103 and 102 as is provided between the members 102 and 101.
- a pair of handles 121 are provided on the exterior of the member 103 in an upper region of the member.
- the lid member 104 which may be of any appropriate design, fits over and rests on the top of the member 103.
- the assembly can be placed in a wide variety of conditions between the fully extended condition shown in Fig. 8 and the fully collapsed condition shown in Fig. 11.
- the member 103 may be lifted by a user using the handles 121 and with their feet placed over the feet 108.
- the member 102 can be rotated relative to the member 101 and the member 103 rotated relative to the member 102 to cause the posts 112 to enter respective transverse grooves 115.
- the user can let go of the handles 121 causing the members 102 and 103 to drop slightly as the posts 112 enter the extensions 116 of the grooves. In that condition the assembly is stably fastened at a selected degree of extension.
- Fig. 12 shows certain modifications that can be made to the assembly of members shown in Figs. 6A and 6B and that is particularly, but not exclusively useful for filling bags as described with reference to Figs. 6A and 6B .
- the modified assembly differs from that shown in
- Figs .6A and 6B in the following respects: firstly, the members 1, 2 and 3 are of cylindrical shape; secondly, wedge-shaped protuberances 22 are provided at diametrically opposite locations on the insides of the members 1 and 2 near the top, so that when the members are in a fully collapsed condition the tops of the members are resiliently deformed and held in position relative to one another by friction; thirdly, a pair of diametrically opposite bayonet fastening arrangements each of the kind described above with reference to Fig. 9 is provided for fastening the three members in a fully extended condition. As can be seen in Fig. 12, each bayonet fastening arrangement
- the members 2 and 3 are each provided with a pair of diametrically opposite posts 112 on their outsides towards their top ends, the posts 112 engaging in the grooves 114. If desired the top of the member 1 may be provide with a pair of handles.
- Figs. 13A and 13B show an alternative fastening arrangement to the bayonet arrangement shown in Figs . 9 and 12.
- the arrangement is shown fastening a first telescoping member 201 to a second telescoping member 202, with just the adjacent walls of the members shown in section in
- the member 202 has a single dome-shaped protuberance 203 projecting outwardly at its upper end from its main cylindrical wall 204.
- the member 201 has an adjacent cylindrical wall 205 on which a fastener 206 is mounted.
- the fastener 206 is formed with a series of cup-shaped recesses 207 matched to the shape of the protuberance 203.
- the recesses 207 are disposed along a vertical path and are connected by grooves 208, the bottoms of which are indicated by lines in Fig. 13A, from which it can be seen that the recesses 207 are deeper than the grooves 208.
- 13A and 13B is provided at diametrically opposite positions of the members 201, 202 and, as will be understood the members are able to be resiliently deformed to allow the protruberance 203 to move out of a recess 207 along a groove 208 and into another recess 207.
