Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to waste disposal devices that may be used for any type of waste, including but not limited to, cat litter, medical waste from hospitals, doctors' offices, home health care personnel and facilities, nursing homes, biohazard laboratories, diapers, general household waste, disposables and the like, and include structure that securely retains or traps a bag so that the bag does not fall into the waste receptacle when waste is inserted.
- Waste disposal devices are common in hospitals, doctors' offices, kitchens and other household locations and other locations where waste is generated and must be disposed of in a sanitary manner. Waste disposal devices are also often used to dispose of household waste, cat litter and other pet waste. If the waste emits odors, the waste disposal device should also contain odors emanating from the waste.
- Some waste disposal devices include a dispenser that dispenses tubing, and therefore include an internal ring-shaped flange on which a tubular core or cartridge rests and houses a continuous length of flexible, substantially non-resilient plastic tubing.
- a knot is tied at one end and the continuous tubing is pulled down to the bottom of the pail to form a bag for inserting one diaper after another until the bag is full.
- the canister is depleted of bag lengths, one replaces the canister. Canisters are costly and require changing regularly.
- Another disposal device utilizes a single use bag sealed at one end and is welded to a foldable plastic header at the open end.
- the header when opened flat rests securely in the pail to accept diapers as they fill up. Once full, the plastic header folds to seal the upper open area and at the same time forms a handle for convenient removal.
- These polypropylene living hinge headers are wasteful, costly to produce and require welding or bonding them to a one time use bag.
- Some of these waste disposal devices include a base defining a waste-receiving compartment and a lid pivotally connected to the base. When the lid is opened, a bag becomes visible and waste is inserted into an opening of the bag. The bag often passes through a membrane that requires force to insert the waste, and also serves to close the bag above the waste providing a barrier to waste and odor outflow. In some waste disposal devices, the bag is actually part of an accordion-folded length of flexible tubing that is housed in a cartridge.
- some of these waste disposal devices include a step or foot pedal assembly to complement or replace the manual opening and closing of the lid.
- the foot pedal assembly includes a depressible foot pedal and a spring, and is arranged to cause both opening of the lid when the foot pedal is depressed and closure of the lid when the pressing force is removed.
- the spring is moved against its bias upon depression of the foot pedal and returns to its original state when the pressing force is removed to thereby cause closure of the lid and rotation of the twisting mechanism.
- a container in accordance with the invention includes at least one wall defining an interior space receivable of a bag and a bag handling assembly coupled to the wall(s).
- the bag handling assembly includes a retainer coupled to the wall(s), a bag support pivotally coupled to the retainer, and a closure component pivotally coupled to the bag support independent of the pivotal coupling of the bag support to the retainer.
- a first attachment structure pivotally attaches the bag support to the retainer, e.g., a hinge component on the retainer and a cooperating hinge component on the bag support on a first side of an opening defined by the retainer.
- a second attachment structure pivotally attaches the closure component to the bag support, e.g., an additional hinge component on the bag support and a cooperating hinge component on the closure component on a second side of the opening defined by the retainer.
- the first and second attachment structures are on different sides of the opening defined by the retainer. Advantages of this construction are to streamline the use of the container by preventing interference when both attachment structures are in their opened component state.
- the bag support includes an inner wall for supporting an open end of the bag, as well as an outer wall spaced from the inner wall, and a rim portion between the inner and outer walls, with a channel being defined above the rim portion between the inner and outer walls.
- the closure component defines a channel on an underside dimensioned relative to the inner wall such that when the closure component is pivoted against the bag support, the inner wall is received in the channel.
- the closure component To secure the closure component to the bag support, the closure component includes a tab and the bag support includes a flexible retainer that cooperates with the tab to enable temporary securing of the closure component to the bag support via engagement of the tab with the retainer.
- the bag support includes a membrane that optionally includes intersecting channels and intersecting slits at an angle from the channels, the channels being dimensioned to allow the bag to be received therein.

- FIG. 1 shows a container 10 in accordance with the invention which is preferably used to dispose of waste, but which may be used for any purpose.
- Container 10 includes an outer wall 12 that is substantially cylindrical, and a lid 14 that has a first, open position in which access to a bag 16 retained in the container 10 is possible and a second, closed position in which access to the bag 16, and more generally, to the interior of the container 10, is prevented.
- Outer wall 12 represents at least one wall that defines an interior space or compartment in the container 10 that is receivable of a bag into which waste is to be placed. It may consist of a single wall or comprise multiple walls.
- Container 10 also includes a base 18, see FIG.
- Control mechanism 20 may include a foot pedal 22 and actuating rods 24 that cooperate to convert downward movement of the foot pedal 22 into opening movement of the lid 14, see FIG. 5.
- the foot pedal 22 is biased to return to an upper position to enable repeated downward movement.
- One skilled in the art would understand how to make and use the control mechanism 20, and numerous and different types of control mechanisms 20 are known to those skilled in the art and may be used in the invention.
- the control mechanism 20 is concealed in the outer wall 12 and/or the base 18 of the container 10.
- the general properties of the container 10 are not material to the invention and the invention may be used in any type, shape and size of container without limitation to the type and shape disclosed and illustrated herein.
- Container 10 includes a bag handling assembly 26 that has three main parts.
- the first part is a retainer 28 that extends inward from the outer wall 12 and when formed separate therefrom, is coupled to the outer wall 12.
- Retainer 28 may be an integral part of the container 10 or a separate component that is temporarily or permanently attached to the outer wall 12 or another part of the container 10 to provide a secure base for the remaining parts of the bag handling assembly 26.
- the retainer 28 is attached to the outer wall 12 by pegs 30, see FIGS. 2-5, that insert into corresponding recesses or apertures in the outer wall 12 (not shown).
- Pegs 30 exemplify structure that may be used to connect the retainer 28 to the outer wall 12, and do not in any way limit the invention.
- the retainer 28 may also be molded together with the outer wall 12.
- any structure which connects the retainer 28 to the outer wall 12 is considered coupling means for coupling the retainer 28 to the outer wall 12.
- coupling means encompass a wide variety of structure known to those skilled in the plastics manufacturing field.
- Bag handling assembly 26 may have a unitary structure which is formed as a unit and then attached to the outer wall 12 of the container 10.
- Retainer 28 generally has the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall 12 but this is not a limitation on the retainer 28.
- the term“coupled to” or variants thereof when used to describe a functional relationship between two components means that one component may be attached to the other component directly or is attached indirectly to the other component via one or more other components.
- Retainer 28, seen more clearly in FIGS. 7-9, has a rim portion 32 and an indented lip 34 around the rim portion 32. Rim portion 32 is substantially planar but is not required to have this form.
- a hinge component 36 is arranged on, coupled to or integrated into the rim portion 32, and opposite the hinge component 36, there is a recess 38.
- Retainer 28 also includes a peripheral seat 40 around an internal aperture or opening 42. Hinge component 36 is therefore situated between the seat 40 and the outer peripheral edge of the retainer 28.
- the second part of the bag handling assembly 26 is a bag support 44 which includes a hinge component 46 that mates with hinge component 36 to enable the bag support 44 to pivot relative to the retainer 28.
- Bag support 44 has a generally annular form defining an opening, annular being used herein to mean defining an opening without limiting the shape of the bag support 44.
- the structure of the hinge components 36, 46 may be any known type of structure which includes a part on each of two components with these parts interacting to allow for pivotal movement, whether a hinge or referred to by another commercial name. Such hinge components 36, 46 are well-known to those skilled in the field of hinges and more generally pivotal attachment structure.
- the hinge component 36 comprises a pair of projections 48 that project upward from the rim portion 32 of the retainer 28 and the hinge component 46 comprises an elongate axle that is rotatably retained at each end by the projections 48.
- attachment means for pivotally attaching the bag support 44 to the retainer 28.
- Bag support 44 also includes an inner wall 50 over which the open end of the bag 16 is placed, an outer wall 52 spaced from the inner wall 50 by a lower wall 54 to thereby define a channel 56 above the lower wall 54 and between the inner and outer walls 50, 52. Both the inner and outer walls 50, 52 are elevated in a common direction from the lower wall 54.
- a hinge component 58 is arranged on or integrated into the lower wall 54.
- the third part of the bag handling assembly 26 is a closure component 60 which includes a hinge component 62 that mates with hinge component 58 to enable the closure component 60 to pivot relative to the bag support 44.
- Hinge component 62 projects from an annular part of the closure component 60 by an extension piece, annular being used herein to mean defining an opening without limiting the shape of the closure component 60.
- the structure of the hinge components 58, 62 may be any known type of structure which includes a part on each of two components with these parts interacting to allow for pivotal movement, whether a hinge or referred to by another name. Such hinge components 58, 62 are well-known to those skilled in the field of hinges and more generally pivotal attachment structure.
- the hinge component 58 comprises a projecting structure that projects upward from the lower wall 54 of the bag support 44 and the hinge component 62 comprises an elongate axle that is rotatably retained by the projecting structure.
- Such structure, and all equivalents and comparable structure, will be referred to as attachment means for pivotally attaching the closure component 60 to the bag support 44.
- the combination of the hinge components 58, 62 are situated radially inward of the combination of the hinge components 36, 46 (the first attachment means) because the closure component 60 is smaller in size than the bag support 44, and the bag support 44 is smaller in size than the retainer 28.
- closure component 60 When the closure component 60 is in a down position against the bag support 44, the bag 16 is pressed between the closure component 60 and the bag support 44. More specifically, the closure component 60 defines a channel 64 on an underside, see, e.g., FIGS 1 and 3-6, that is receivable of the inner wall 50 of the bag support 44 such that upon pivoting of the closure component 60 into engagement with the inner wall 50, the bag 16 when present is clamped between the closure component 60 and the inner wall 50.
- Channel 64 is generally defined by two spaced apart walls and bottom wall to form the downwardly oriented channel 64.
- Closure component 60 thus has a generally square shape like the shape of the inner wall 50, although their shapes may vary.
- Bag support 44 therefore serves two important functions, first to provide a pivotal attachment to the retainer 28 to enable access to an interior of the container 10 for removal of the bag 16 when it has been used to hold for example waste, and second to provide the inner wall 50 to allow for selective clamping of an open end of the bag 16 by the closure component 60 against this inner wall 50.
- This clamping is a contact pressing with the bag 16 being pressed by the closure component 60 against the inner wall 16 to thereby trap odor arising from material in the bag 16 inside of the bag 16.
- the bag support 44 can be pivoted upward by the cooperating hinge structure 36, 46 to enable access to the bag 16, see FIGS. 1 and 4, and notably FIG. 6 wherein the removal of a bag 16 containing waste while the bag support 44 is pivoted upward relative to the retainer 28 is shown. It is not required that the closure component 60 be pivoted upward away from the bag support 44 when the bag support 44 is pivoted upward relative to the retainer 28 to remove a bag from the container 10.
- Bag removal is facilitated by, once the bag 16 is full or it otherwise desired to change the bag 16, pivoting the closure component 60 upward relative to the bag support 44 to release the clamping force of the closure component 60 against the bag support 44, see FIG. 3. Then, the end of the bag 16 is grasped, possibly tied, and then inserted through the bag support 44 into the interior of the container 10. Then, the bag support 44 is pivoted upward relative to the retainer 28 by the user inserting their finger into the recess 38 in the retainer 28 and lifting the bag support 44 upward to thereby increase the size of the opening at the top of the container 10, see FIG. 4. Finally, the bag 16 is grasped by the user’s hand 66 and pulled out of the interior of the container 10, see FIG. 6.
- a new, single use bag is then procured, placed into the interior of the container 10. This placement may be either before the bag support 44 is pivoted downward to rest on the retainer 28 or after. In the former situation, the bag support 44 is pivoted downward and the user has to extend their hand through the bag support 44 to reach the upper end of the bag 16 and pull the bag 16 through the bag support 44 to drape the upper end over the inner wall 50. In the latter situation, the user pushes the bag 16 through the bag support 44 and then drapes the upper end of the bag 16 over the inner wall 50. In both situations, the upper end of the bag 16 has its open end draped over the inner wall 50 and then the closure component 60 is pivoted against the inner wall 50 to secure this new bag 16 in a position ready for use.
- Closure component 60 includes an optional tab 68 opposite the hinge component 62, and an optional flexible retainer 70 is arranged on the lower wall 54 of the bag support 44.
- the tab 68 can be pressed under a lip of the retainer 70 to thereby secure the closure component 60 to the bag support 44 and prevent upward pivotal movement of the closure component 60 relative to the bag support 44.
- the retainer 70 is flexed outward allowing the tab 68 to be lifted upward. Additional details of the cooperation of a tab and retainer are disclosed in the applicant’s earlier U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. 15/413,163 filed Jan. 23, 2017, 14/935,835 filed Nov. 9, 2015, 14/709,878 filed May 12, 2015, 14/537,044 filed Nov. 10, 2014, 14/109,270 filed Dec. 17, 2013, 61/881,386 filed Sep. 23, 2013.
- securing means for securing the closure component 60 to the bag support 44.
- Bag support 44 includes an optional membrane 72 that may be integrated into the bag support 44 by attaching it to the inner wall 50 and/or lower wall 54.
- Membrane 72 may be a separate component from the bag support 44 and attached thereto.
- the membrane 72 includes two intersecting channels 74, 76 and two intersecting slits 78, 80 at an angle of about 45 degrees from the channels 74, 76.
- Other formations of channels and/or slits may be provided for the membrane 72 as they are not critical to the invention. With the disclosed formation, it becomes possible to push the bag 16 into one of the channels 74, 76 to be held therein while preventing release of odor from any waste in the bag 16. The bag 16 could be pushed by structure disclosed in the patents and patent applications mentioned herein.
- the retainer 28 is fixed to the outer wall 12 of the container 10 and the remaining parts of the bag handling assembly 26, i.e., the bag support 44 and the closure component 60 are considered an insert or unitary insert to the container 10 or insert assembly as used in the applicant’s other patents and patent applications mentioned herein.
- This insert is attached to the retainer 28 by pressing the hinge component 46 into engagement with the hinge component 36.
- the retainer 28 may even be integrated into the container 10 while including a suitable hinge component 36.
- a snap-in type of hinge is known to those skilled in the pivotal attachment field, or those with knowledge of such devices.
- the container 10 may be used without the lid 14.
- the bag handling assembly 26 is therefore used to control access of waste into a bag when retained by the bag handling assembly 26 and also facilitate removal of the bag when full of waste.
- the bag handling assembly 26 in its entirety may be formed as an insert or insert assembly wherein the retainer 28 is constructed to be attachable to a wall of a pail or other support structure that defines a receptacle for receiving waste. The retainer 28 is then fixed to the support structure and the bag handling assembly 26 is thereby operable in the manner disclosed above.
- Container 10 can be used with a waste treatment component disclosed in the applicant’s patents and patent applications mentioned herein.
- a waste treatment component would be constructed to preferably contact (when a bag is not present) and thus press against the membrane 72 to thereby press any waste thereon (when a bag is present) through the opening of the bag 16 retained by the membrane 72 and into the bag below the membrane 72.
- the waste treatment component releases deodorizing materials to eliminate odor from the inserted waste.
- FIGS. 10-12 show such a container 100 with a waste treatment component 102.
- Container 100 includes an outer wall 104 that is substantially cylindrical, and a lid 106 that has a first, open position in which access to a bag (not shown) retained in the container 100 is possible and a second, closed position in which access to the bag, and more generally, to the interior of the container 100, is prevented.
- Outer wall 104 represents at least one wall that defines an interior space or compartment in the container 100 that is receivable of a bag into which waste is to be placed. It may consist of a single wall or comprises multiple walls.
- Container 100 also includes a base 108 on which the outer wall 104 is supported.
- the lid 106 includes an indentation 110 to enable it to be manually opened. Such an indentation on the lid may be used for lid 14 in container 10 (FIGS. 1-9), and the control mechanism 20 in container 10 (FIGS. 1-9) may be used in container 100.
- the waste treatment component 102 is mounted on the underside of the lid 106 and dispenses, for example, deodorizing material.
- General properties of the container 100 are not material to the invention and the invention may be used in any type, shape and size of container without limitation to the type and shape disclosed and illustrated herein.
- Container 100 includes a bag handling assembly 112 similar to bag handling assembly 26, and only differences will be mentioned.
- Bag handling assembly 112 includes the bag support 44 and closure component 60, and retainer 114 which is similar to but slightly different than retainer 28 (and the features of retainer 114 that are the same as those in retainer 28 are designated with the same reference numbers).
- One difference is the manner in which the retainer 114 is attached to the outer wall 104.
- the retainer 114 includes flexible tabs 116 with apertures 118 which cooperate with an equal number of cooperating projections 120 on the inner surface of the outer wall 104, see FIG. 11.
- the projections 120 are dimensioned to fit in the apertures 118.
- the retainer 114, and thus the bag handling assembly 112 in its entirety, is therefore not permanently integrated into the container 100 but rather may be formed as a separate assembly and then assembled with the outer wall 104 to form the container 100.
- the retainer 114 is rotated to align the tabs 116 with the projections 120.
- the retainer 114 is then pressed downward to cause the tabs 116 to flex inward and over the projections 120. This pressing continues until the tabs 116 pass over the projections 120, at which time, the tabs 116 flex outward and the projections 120 are then situated in the apertures 118 of the tabs 116.
- a secure attachment of the retainer 114, and thus the bag handling assembly 112 in its entirety, to the outer wall 104 of the container 100 is thus provided.
- Retainer 114 generally has the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall 104 but this is not a limitation on the retainer 114.
- Retainer 114 has a rim portion 122 from which the tabs 116 project downward.
- the hinge component 36 is situated between the seat 40 and the rim portion 122
- Container 100 may be constructed to provide an additional function for the waste treatment component 102, and specifically, that it operatively pushes waste on the bag lying on the membrane 72 through the membrane 72. To provide this effect, the container 100 is constructed such that the waste treatment component 102 has a height that is the same as or just slightly smaller than the distance between the membrane 72 and the lower surface of the lid 104. As such, when the lid 104 is closed, the waste treatment component 102 will push waste on the bag that lies on the membrane 72 through the membrane 72 and into the bag portion below the membrane.
- the unitary bag handling assembly 26 includes two separate and independent pivotal attachment means or pivotal attachment structure, one constructed and positioned to attach the bag support 44 to the retainer 28 and enable relative movement therebetween and another to attach the closure component 60 to the bag support 44 and enable relative movement therebetween.
- the bag support 44 thus includes two separate hinge components 46, 58 on the bag support 44.
- This dual, independent hinged structure provides significant benefits for a waste container used with, for example, a single-use bag because the bag support 44 includes one set of hinge components 36, 46 to secure the bag 16 during use, and another set of hinge components 58, 62, to enable easy access to the bag 16 when it is sought to remove the bag 16 from the interior of the container 10 and replace it with an empty bag 16.
- the attachment means are not arranged on the same side of the bag handling assembly 26.
- the hinge components 36, 46 are arranged on the left side of the bag handling assembly 26, i.e., on the left side of the opening 42 defined by the retainer 28, whereas the hinge components 58, 62 are arranged at the upper side of the bag handling assembly 26 and above the opening 42 defined by the retainer 28.
- the hinge components 36, 46 could also be arranged on the right side of the bag handling assembly 26 opposite the hinge components 36, 46.
