Benefits of technology

The patent describes a trash bag with a small opening, limited to the size of a flexible metal band. This bag is designed to be more efficient than common plastic bags and is made of a disposable material. The bag has foam rubber wedges to help direct debris into it. When the bag is pushed against a wall, its side front wings collapse and straighten away from the wall, allowing for flexible movement of the scraper. Overall, this design improves the collection process and ensures a more organized and efficient trash collection system.

Problems solved by technology

If the ceiling material is not sufficiently wet or drying occurs prior to removal, it tends to scatter upon contact with the scrapper blade.

Abstract

The Ceiling Debris Collection Bin is a receptacle with a wide opening that facilitates the nearly complete collection of acoustic ceiling debris removed by the Popcorn Ceiling Scraper—U.S. Pat. No. 6,101,663. The makers this Scraper recommend use of a plastic trash bag for collection of debris but a trash bag is not efficient enough, being limited to an opening defined by the scraper's flexible band. The new Ceiling Debris Collection Bin is very efficient owing to the flared side design. Debris that flies all over and might escape collection by a trash bag would be captured by this uniquely designed Ceiling Debris Collection Bin with nearly three times the collection area. The collapsible wings of the bin accommodate the flexible metal band of the Popcorn Ceiling Scraper, so that the Scraper can be pushed up to where the ceiling meets the wall.
