first embodiment

[0028] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a trashcan set 1 according to the present invention. The trashcan set 1 includes a can 10, a lid 20 and two sliding devices 30. The sliding devices 30 are put between the lid 20 and the can 10 so that the lid 20 can slide on the can 10.

[0029] The can 10 includes two parallel connection portions 12 and an opening 11 between the connection portions 12. The opening 11 is square in this embodiment.

[0030] The lid 20 slides on the can 10 in order to shut and open the opening 11. The profile of the lid 20 is identical to that of the opening 11 of the can 10 so that the former can cover the latter completely. The lid 20 includes two parallel connection portions 21 on the bottom. The connection portions 21 of the lid 20 are made and arranged corresponding to the connection portions 12 of the can 10.

third embodiment

[0036] Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, there is shown a trashcan set according to the present invention. The third embodiment is like the first embodiment except including a can 50 twice as large as the can 10 and including one more lid 20. The can 50 includes two connection portions 52 similar to but twice as long as the connection portions 12 of the can 10. Between the connection portions 52 an opening 51 that can only be completely closed by means of two lids 20. The lids 20 are made identical to but installed opposite to each other. Accordingly, two more sliding devices 30 are used.

[0037] In the third embodiment, the opening 51 is rectangular. However, the opening 51 may be oblong, hexangular or any other form as long as there are two parallel connection portions 52.

fourth embodiment

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, there is shown a trashcan set according to the present invention. The fourth embodiment is like the third embodiment except including a collar 60 in addition. The difference between the fourth and third embodiments is like the difference between the second and first embodiments.

[0039] The trashcan set according to the present invention exhibits the following advantages:
