Benefits of technology

[0004]The invention mitigates the effects of particularly odorous or unsanitary trash. The present invention is directed towards a trash receptacle with dispensable bags that allows for offensive trash or refuse to be disposed of in its own trash bag. The trash bags of the present invention may be sized to accommodate a limited number of articles of trash. After particularly offensive trash is deposited in a trash bag, the bag may be removed and either disposed of or placed inside a larger trash receptacle, such as, for example, the primary tr

Problems solved by technology

One problem inherent with traditional trash receptacles utilizing trash bags is presented by trash that is particularly odorous or unsanitary.
When such offensive trash is introduced into trash bags of traditional trash receptacles, the trash bags must be quickly removed and disposed of, otherwise the trash receptacle will subject the surrounding area to the odorous or unsanitary effects of the trash via the open bag.
This leads to an inefficient use of the trash re

[0055]Referring to FIG. 1, there is provided a trash receptacle 50 comprising a housing 52. The housing may include an outer shell 54 defining a cavity 56 and a rim 58 defining an opening 60 to the cavity 56. The trash receptacle 50 may further comprise a divider 62 that divides the cavity 56 into a compartment 76 and a bin 78, wherein the divider 62 defines a hole 64 that passes therethrough. The receptacle 50 may also include a plurality of bags 80 connected in a series. The bags 80 may have a top 86 defining an opening 88 and a bottom 90 that is closed. The bags 80 may be connected in series such that the bottom 90 of each bag 80 is separably attached to the top 86 of the next bag in the series. When the bags 80 are stored in the compartment 76, the bags may be pulled through the hole 64 of the divider 62 one at a time, with the tops 86 of the bags 80 leading the bottoms 90, such that the first bag will pull the second bag through the divider 62 as the first bag is pulled away fr...

Abstract

The trash receptacle may include an outer shell defining a cavity and a rim defining an opening to the cavity. The trash receptacle may include a divider that divides the cavity into a compartment and a bin, wherein the divider defines a hole that passes therethrough. The receptacle may include a plurality of bags connected in a series. The bags may have a top defining an opening and a bottom that is closed, wherein the bags are connected such that the bottom of each bag is separably attached to the top of the next bag in the series. The bags may include a closure for the opening of the bag. When the bags are stored in the compartment, the bags may be pulled through the hole of the divider individually, such that the first bag will pull the second bag through the divider.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to trash receptacles, and more particularly to a trash receptacle including a plurality of dispensable bags.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A large trash receptacle with a bag is generally designed to serve as primary receptacle for trash, such as, for example, the primary trash receptacle in a kitchen. After the bag is full the bag is removed from the receptacle for transport, disposal, or incineration and a new bag is arranged in the receptacle to receive trash.[0003]One problem inherent with traditional trash receptacles utilizing trash bags is presented by trash that is particularly odorous or unsanitary. When such offensive trash is introduced into trash bags of traditional trash receptacles, the trash bags must be quickly removed and disposed of, otherwise the trash receptacle will subject the surrounding area to the odorous or unsanitary effects of the trash via the open bag. This leads to an inefficient use...
