Benefits of technology

[0010] One advantage of the present invention is that it can direct explosive forces away from surrounding persons and property. Another advantage of the present invention is that it can function in a normal manner as a waste receptacle for receiving and storing waste therein.

Problems solved by technology

A serious problem concerning these waste containers is that a bomb can be surreptitiously hidden therein and subsequently detonated for the purpose of harming surrounding persons or property.
Current waste containers may not be sufficiently strong to withstand the explosions.
For instance, current waste containers may either disintegrate or fragment into airborne shards.
As a result, many persons within a blast perimeter of the bomb may suffer serious bodily injury or death.
Of course, valuables and other property within the immediate area may also be damaged or destroyed.

Embodiment Construction

[0033] In the following figures, the same reference numerals are used to identify the same components in the various views.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1A, there is generally shown an explosion resistant waste container 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The waste container 10 is normally used for receiving and storing waste. In addition, the waste container 10 can shield surrounding persons and property from explosions originating therein.

[0035] The waste container 10 generally includes an inner open-topped container 12, an intermediate material 14, and an outer open-topped container 16.

[0036] The waste container 10 also preferably includes a lid 18 (“cover” or “top”) that is releasably attached to a lip portion 40 of the inner open-topped container or a rim portion 42 of the outer open-topped container 16. The lid 18 may be a hood (as shown in FIG. 1A), a funnel (as shown in FIG. 1B), or any other suitably shaped cover. The lid 18 preferably is made of a heavy...

Abstract

An explosion resistant waste container includes an outer open-topped container and an inner open-topped container with a space therebetween. The outer and inner container are made from portions of compression cylinder members. The space between the two containers is filled with sand.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10 / 710,771 filed on Aug. 2, 2004, which is in turn a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 10 / 150,605 filed on May 17, 2002.TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates generally to waste containers, and more particularly to waste containers that can withstand explosive forces and safely direct these forces away from surrounding persons and property. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Waste containers are well known. These containers may take a variety of forms for use in a variety of places. [0004] In particular, large waste containers are commonly used in places frequented by the public. For example, these waste containers may be found in airports, government buildings, hospitals, schools, street corners of highly populated cities, and at various public events. [0005] A serious problem concerning these waste containers is that a bomb can be surreptitious...
