Benefits of technology
The invention is a waste disposal apparatus that ensures sealed containment of diapers or soiled feminine sanitary products. It maintains a constant barrier between the interior space containing the soiled materials and the exterior environment. It is coupled with a form-fitting waste bin that provides a touch-free means for sanitarily disposing of waste, improving the cleanliness and sanitary conditions for users. It effectively eliminates risk of exposure and escape of odor. When used in a bin structure that employs a door for removing the filled bag, it also protects cleaning crews performing bathroom maintenance from the same risks.
Problems solved by technology
Regardless of these, the risk of cross contamination and odor release still exists, at varying degrees based on the method utilized.
They also use complex conveyor systems to propel materials and web for packaging.
These systems are not designed for personal intermittent use suitable for disposal of sanitary napkins or diapers.

Embodiment Construction
[0015]The Apparatus 11 is designed to collect and store used feminine hygiene and sanitary products by creating an airtight Containment Space 51 in which the waste is stored. Users place waste into a Receptacle Space 23 formed at the top of the Apparatus 11, and is deposited in the Containment Space 51 by operation of a Sealing Arm Assembly 33. In the current embodiment, operation of the Sealing Arm Assembly 33 involves opposing arms 33a, 33b, and 33c, with matching convex and concave surfaces that move from the side of the Feed Assembly 15 to the top of the Receptacle Space 23, meeting and simultaneously sealing a continuous feed plastic Tube Bag 25 fed from a cartridge fixed on the top of the Feed Assembly 15, which is affixed to the top of a Trash Container 13, and the Trash Container defining the Containment Space 51.

Field of the Invention[0006]The invention concerns resolution of struggles to handle malodorous waste disposal, particularly feminine sanitary napkins.[0007]2. Background Art[0008]Current / previous sanitary product disposal units in practice use a variety of methods for collection and disposal, including flip lids, hands-free step-pedal operated, “modesty flaps” to prevent visibility and odors, and use of chemicals to reduce odors. Some require individual wrapping or bagging of materials. Regardless of these, the risk of cross contamination and odor release still exists, at varying degrees based on the method utilized.[0009]Existing packaging devices often use heat sealing using an ass...
