Benefits of technology
"The present invention is an automated insect deterrent pump spray applicator that can be used in a rubbish bin or similar container to decrease health hazards and unpleasant odours. The applicator includes a body portion that is mounted inside the bin and has a removable cover. The applicator includes a container with a depressible actuator and an actuating assembly that is depressed when the bin is closed. The applicator is designed to dispense and spread material into the bin and can be easily secured in place. The material can be a powder, liquid, or vapor that does not pool or collect in the bin. The invention is manufactured mainly or completely of plastic and can be used with different types of bins. The device helps to keep the bin closed and can be easily removed when the bin is emptied."
Problems solved by technology
The dual problems of resulting health hazards and unpleasant odours often coexist in most garbage storage areas, since rotting garbage often produces scents which are unpleasant to humans, but which attract pests which themselves carry diseases.
Unfortunately Wolbrink simply masks the odours from the trash, but does nothing to prevent pests from infesting the garbage therein.
One disadvantage of this type of disinfectant dispenser for refuse receptacles is its inability to prevent the disinfectant from spilling or flowing from the dispenser upon movement of the receptacle or for example lifting the cover from the receptacle and canting the same.
Further, this dispenser does not effectively distribute the disinfectant as it is not directly exposed to the contents of the receptacle.
However, by perforating the sides and the dome of this dispenser, the disinfectant is readily drawn off requiring the container to be filled at frequent intervals.
The devices disclosed in these patents, however, have similar disadvantages as the devices of the above specifically noted patents as well as other and various disadvantages.”

Embodiment Construction
[0052]According to a preferred embodiment, an automated insect deterrent pump spray device 10 is provided.
[0053]The device of the illustrated embodiment is particularly adapted for use with a bin as illustrated best in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the bin includes a bin body 11 for containing refuse and a lid 12.
[0054]The illustrated device 10 is adapted to both dispense and spread material into the rubbish bin in order to decrease health hazards and unpleasant odours. The material which the device of the illustrated embodiment spreads is a liquid with a volatile component so that the liquid does not pool or collect in the bin causing additional problems. The liquid dispensed by the device of the embodiment includes an insect deterrent or repellent, a deodoriser, and a disinfectant.
[0055]The device of the embodiment is adapted to be secured in the bin more or less permanently to resist loss or dislodgement. The device is manufactured mainly or completely of plastic due to the environment insid...

An automated insect deterrent pump spray applicator assembly for a refuse container, said refuse container including a refuse container body for containing refuse and a lid, the applicator assembly including a body portion adapted to be mounted relative to a corner portion of the refuse container body inside the refuse container body and provided with removable cover means, a container containing the spray material, said container including an outlet associated with a depressible actuator to release the spray when depressed, and an actuating assembly associated with the body portion and mounted to be depressed upon closure of the refuse container lid, to engage the depressible actuator of the container to release the spray wherein the body portion and cover means is adapted to contain the replaceable container and prevent dislodgement from the refuse container body upon inversion of the refuse container body.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to bins and particularly to the control of insects and unwanted odours around bins and other rubbish collection devices.BACKGROUND ART [0002]Dispensers for dispensing various materials into a container designed for collection of rubbish and refuse are commercially available. In addition to this, there are devices available for dispensing various materials in situations where distasteful odours are present such as over rubbish tips and in toilets and the like.[0003]The dual problems of resulting health hazards and unpleasant odours often coexist in most garbage storage areas, since rotting garbage often produces scents which are unpleasant to humans, but which attract pests which themselves carry diseases.[0004]U.S. Pat. No. 4,047,775 to Wolbrink discloses a trash compactor which incorporates a deodorizer for continually releasing a scent to the air in the compactor cabinet to mask odours emanating from the compacted trash.
