Abstract

A roll of garbage bags comprises a plurality of garbage bags (10IV) which have at least two garbage bag sections (16IV-1, 16IV-2, 16IV-3 and 16IV-4) which can be filled from a common side ("filling opening") and which can each be separated from the garbage bag without damage, so that the garbage bag sections (16IV-1, 16IV-2, 16IV-3 and 16IV-4) each form separate garbage bags after separation from the garbage bag.

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a garbage bag roll, a method for disposing of garbage and a method for providing a garbage bag roll.

[0002] Garbage bag rolls are commonly known as household items. A single garbage bag can be separated from the open end of a garbage bag roll, using a perforation or other weakening of the material. Other weakening of the material can be a thinning of the plastic, for example. Typically, a single garbage bag is separated by hand. However, the weakening of the material can also, under certain circumstances, allow the bag to be separated using a tool such as a knife or scissors.

[0003] Such garbage bag rolls are typically manufactured in such a way that the individual garbage bags are produced separately and then folded into sheets. These sheets are then fed via feed tracks to a joining device, where one sheet is joined to the other. Welding is particularly suitable as a joining technique, for example by melting (with the application of heat) and / or pressure welding (under the application of pressure). The material weakening, such as the perforation mentioned above, is then introduced into the joint. This creates an endless band of garbage bags. From this band, a band containing the desired number of garbage bags for the garbage bag roll is cut off and wound up. A paper roll or similar material is then applied to the wound-up garbage bags to prevent them from unwinding. Other fastening options are also possible.The individual garbage bags can be of a certain complexity; for example, a drawstring is usually provided on the top of an opening of the garbage bag, which is guided in a guide and / or loops in order to pull the garbage bag closed after it has been filled.

[0004] The individual garbage bags in a garbage bag roll are typically positioned transversely to the length of the garbage bag roll, so that the later opening side of the garbage bags points to one side and the underside of the garbage bags, which is closed, points to the other. The material weakenings extending transversely with respect to the garbage bag roll thus separate the individual garbage bags along their long sides. However, it is also possible in principle to design garbage bag rolls in which the individual garbage bags are offset by 90°, so that the side of the garbage bags that will later be opened is the one on which the material weakenings for separating the individual garbage bags are provided.

[0005] Everything said so far regarding garbage bag rolls and garbage bags can be implemented within the scope of the invention and in particular in embodiments.

[0006] From DE 20 2021 103 927 U1, a garbage bag roll is known which has film parts in several colors to enable a user to color-code the filled garbage bags and thus facilitate the sorting of the garbage by the garbage disposal company.

[0007] CN 107792564 A describes a garbage bag with a central partition to form two container areas.

[0008] A garbage bag with two compartments is known from CN 205312322 U.

[0009] It is the object of the present invention to promote waste separation and to provide improved garbage bags and garbage bag rolls as well as a method for disposing of garbage.

[0010] The object is achieved by a garbage bag roll having the features according to patent claim 1, by a method for disposing of garbage having the features according to patent claim 13 and by a method for providing a garbage bag roll according to patent claim 14.

[0011] The garbage bag roll according to the invention thus comprises a plurality of garbage bags rolled up one behind the other, which can be separated from one another by material weakenings running transversely across the garbage bag roll. Each of the garbage bags has at least one filling opening for garbage and at least two garbage bag sections that can be filled via the at least one filling opening. The garbage bag sections can each be separated from the garbage bag without causing damage, so that the garbage bag sections each form separate garbage bags after being separated from the garbage bag.

[0012] The invention introduces a garbage bag as part of a garbage bag roll, which, with its multiple garbage bag sections, enables the separation of garbage / waste as soon as the bag is filled. This eliminates the need for the user to keep multiple individual garbage bins with their own garbage bags on hand. Instead, the user can transfer a garbage bag from the garbage bag roll to a garbage bin and sort different types of waste within the garbage bag. By separating the garbage bag sections to form individual, separate garbage bags, the sorted waste can be disposed of separately according to sorting group.The fact that the garbage bag has at least two garbage bag areas can mean that it has exactly two garbage bag areas or at least three garbage bag areas, the latter can comprise exactly three garbage bag areas or at least four garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly four garbage bag areas or at least five garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly five garbage bag areas or at least six garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly six garbage bag areas or at least seven garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly seven garbage bag areas or at least eight garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly eight garbage bag areas or at least nine garbage bag areas, of which the latter can comprise exactly nine garbage bag areas or at least ten garbage bag areas and so on.

[0013] According to advantageous embodiments of the invention, each garbage bag has a main bag wall, and at least one connecting wall is provided on the main bag wall, forming garbage bag sections. The connecting walls extend at least partially in the longitudinal direction, thus allowing the introduction of garbage to a filling depth corresponding to the longitudinal direction, and a material weakening is formed at the connecting sections for non-destructive separation.

[0014] Advantages of this embodiment may be that a normal film can be provided as the main bag wall during production, in particular also in the form of a single bag, and the connecting walls can be attached subsequently (welded, by means of welding with the application of temperature and / or with pressure).

[0015] According to one aspect of this, it can be provided that the main bag wall is an outer wall and the connecting wall has two layers ("double bag wall"), of which, after separation, one belongs to a first separate garbage bag and another belongs to a second separate garbage bag.

[0016] The advantages of these designs are that the garbage bag can be easily divided into several smaller garbage bag sections.

[0017] According to an alternative aspect, all connecting walls are provided next to one another on one side of the main bag wall. This embodiment can be advantageous in terms of production, in particular, it can be produced easily and thus inexpensively.

[0018] According to other embodiments of the invention, each garbage bag may comprise a plurality of individual bags providing the garbage bag regions, the individual bags being attached to a common strip (preferably in the manner of a fold) on one side.

[0019] In this case, the individual bags are arranged like a booklet and, preferably, are open on the side opposite the strip, allowing the individual bags to fan out. If necessary, a suitable, convenient trash can can be provided, in which the strip simply needs to be attached, and the individual bags can then be fanned out.

[0020] According to embodiments of this, the material weakenings are formed on the strip. The individual bags can be manufactured individually and welded together on the strip (by applying heat and / or pressure), and the material weakening can be provided at the same time (e.g., by punching).

[0021] According to embodiments of the invention, the garbage bag areas of the garbage bags are designed differently.

[0022] Firstly, at least two garbage bag areas can be designed in different sizes; this is particularly to take into account the fact that the waste to be filled in different types, which are to be separated from each other, does not occur in equal quantities per type.

[0023] Alternatively or additionally, at least two garbage bag sections of each garbage bag are provided with different colors. Marking the individual garbage bag sections in different colors can make it easier for users to separate waste. For example, blue could represent paper waste, brown organic waste, yellow plastic waste, etc. Alternatively or additionally, labeling can also be provided.

[0024] According to another preferred embodiment with differently designed garbage bag areas, at least two garbage bag areas of each garbage bag are made of different materials. This can depend on the waste to be disposed of. The materials can include at least two made of plastic film, recycled plastic, compostable plastic, aluminum, paper, cellulose, and hemp. The compostable plastic and / or hemp can be advantageous for organic waste, whereas it is not critical if plastic waste is itself provided in plastic film or recycled plastic. For paper waste, the garbage bag area can be made of paper. An individual garbage bag area can also be made of different materials. For example, the garbage bag area for organic waste can consist of or include compostable plastic in combination with a paper reinforcement.The optional drawstring for garbage bag areas can be made of a different material than the rest of the garbage bag area.

[0025] According to preferred embodiments of the invention, several types of garbage bags are provided in the garbage bag roll. Thus, there is at least one garbage bag that differs from other garbage bags. This aspect can, if appropriate, also be regarded as an invention in itself, independent of the provision of the garbage bag sections, i.e., the invention described so far. In this aspect, one type of garbage bag can first be separated from the garbage bag roll, and then another type of garbage bag. For example, one type of garbage bag can have several garbage bag sections, one of which is suitable for paper waste and one for organic waste; this can be accommodated in an organic waste bin. Another garbage bag can be provided for plastic waste, in which a special compartment (separate garbage bag section) is provided for glass.

[0026] The method for disposing of waste according to the invention comprises: Providing a garbage bag with at least two compartments, filling at least one of the compartments, separating the filled compartment from the rest of the garbage bag, and placing the filled compartment in a garbage bin / container.

[0027] Separating the filled compartment may result in a single additional compartment remaining, which is then filled and placed in a different type of trash can. Separating the filled compartment may also result in the remaining trash bag remaining for further filling. Preferably, differently filled compartments are filled with different types of trash for the purpose of waste separation.

[0028] The advantages of the method arise from the aforementioned advantages for providing the garbage bag roll according to the invention.

[0029] The inventive method for providing a garbage bag roll of the type according to the invention comprises determining a user group and / or a usage period, wherein, for the user group and / or the usage period, measurements are used to estimate which types of garbage occur in which quantities, and a manufacturing specification for a garbage bag roll is specified from at least two manufacturing specifications for different garbage bag rolls, each according to the type according to the invention, such that the garbage bag areas of the garbage bags have colors and / or dimensions matching the estimated quantities. The method ends with the manufacture of the garbage bag roll according to the specified manufacturing specification.For example, a different garbage bag roll can be provided for a user group such as "private households with adults" than for "private households with small children," where the garbage bag roll must have a larger garbage bag section for residual waste (diapers). A distinction can also be made between a private household and a hotel as a user group, although hotels typically do not expect a large amount of organic waste, but rather more paper waste. For example, a garbage bag for hotels can completely dispense with a garbage bag section for organic waste, and this waste can be classified as residual waste if necessary; garbage bag sections for plastic and glass can be combined into one garbage bag section, and so on. The period of use can also dictate which types of waste are generated and in what quantities.For example, more organic waste can be expected in summer because more and / or better fruit is available, fresh vegetables are used more often in cooking, and so on.

[0030] The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which Fig. 1 schematically shows a bin liner roll as a whole; Fig. 2a shows a first variant of a first embodiment of a bin liner that can be provided by the bin liner roll; Fig. 2b shows a second variant of the first embodiment of a bin liner that can be provided by the bin liner roll; Fig. 3 illustrates a second embodiment of a bin liner; Fig. 4 illustrates a third embodiment of a bin liner; and Fig. 5 illustrates a fourth embodiment of a bin liner.

[0031] A garbage bag roll, designated as a whole by 1, consists of a plurality of garbage bags 10-1, 10-2, etc., rolled up one behind the other, which can be separated from one another by material weakenings 12 running in the transverse direction of the garbage bag roll, for example in the form of perforations. Typically, the first garbage bag 10-1 is separated from the second garbage bag 10-2 and used, whereas the remaining garbage bag roll is kept as a reserve. The embodiments of garbage bags 10, 10', 10", 10'", 10 IV< shown below can in principle be provided individually, but are preferably provided by a garbage bag roll of the type shown in Fig. 1 shown garbage bag roll 1 is provided.

[0032] Fig. 2a shows as garbage bag 10 a first variant of a first embodiment of the invention, Fig. 2b as garbage bag 10' a second variant of this embodiment.

[0033] In the garbage bag 10, an outer wall 14 is closed and forms a garbage bag in itself, wherein garbage bag regions 16-1, 16-2 are preferably formed on the inside of the outer wall, preferably by welding a connecting wall, wherein the back of the respective garbage bag is provided by the outer wall 14, and wherein the individual garbage bag regions are detachable from the rest of the garbage bag due to perforations 20. Optionally provided drawstrings 18-1 on the first garbage bag region 16-1 and 18-2 on the second garbage bag region 16-2 are guided through loops, wherein the loops extend along the connecting wall and also along the inside of the outer wall 14.

[0034] In the Fig. 2b In the garbage bag 10' shown according to the second variant of the first embodiment, an open wall is provided as the main bag wall 14', on which the connecting walls for forming the garbage bag sections 16'-1 and 16'-2 are arranged. Due to the perforation 20', the main bag wall 10' can be divided into two parts, each with a garbage bag section, and each part can then be reused as a separate garbage bag, in particular for disposal after filling. Optional drawstrings 18'-1 and 18'-2 are also provided here.

[0035] In the Fig. 3 In the garbage bag 10" shown according to a second embodiment of the invention, two garbage bag areas 16"-1 and 16"-2 are formed next to each other and each area is provided by a common bag, wherein two adjacent (doubled) layers are provided as connecting walls 22-1 and 22-2, which can be separated from each other by a perforation 20", this to form separate garbage bags, each having a drawstring 18"-1 or 18"-2. The main bag wall in this case is the one shown in Fig, 3 outer wall of the entire garbage bag 10" not provided with a reference symbol.

[0036] In the Fig. 4 In the garbage bag 10‴ shown in a third embodiment, the main bag wall 14'" is a bag which is Fig. 4 is open at the top and to which the further garbage bag sections 16"'-1, 16"'-2 and 16"'-3 are attached, whereby they can be separated at the perforations 20"'-1, 20"'-2 and 20"'-3. In principle, this is designed like a glove with detachable fingers. Drawstrings can also be provided here, but these are in Fig. 4 are not shown.

[0037] In the Fig. 5 The garbage bag 10 IV< shown according to the fourth embodiment of the invention has a plurality of garbage bag regions 16 IV<-1, 16 IV<-2, 16 IV<-3 and 16 IV<-4, which are welded to one another at a strip 30 in the manner of a fold, wherein a preferably single perforation 20 IV< is formed on the strip. If the strip 30 is torn off, the garbage bag 10 IV< is split into the plurality of garbage bag regions 16 IV<-1, 16 IV<-2, 16 IV<-3 and 16 IV<-4. Each garbage bag region 16 IV<-1, 16 IV<-2, 16 IV<-3 and 16 IV<-4 has a drawstring; the drawstrings 18 IV<-1 and 18 IV<-4 are designated here as examples.In this embodiment, the individual garbage bag areas 16 IV< -1 to 16 IV< -4 can be produced particularly well from different materials, for example for paper waste from paper, for organic waste from compostable material, in particular compostable plastic, for plastic from plastic film and for glass from recycled plastic or even aluminum with a somewhat thicker and more stable wall.

[0038] In all of the above-mentioned embodiments, the size and / or purpose of the garbage bag compartments can be varied, the latter optionally through color and / or labeling. This makes it possible to determine which types of garbage occur in which quantities among a specific user group. The size ratios for the garbage bag compartments can be determined accordingly, and some garbage bag compartments can be omitted entirely.

[0039] The embodiments according to Fig. 2a , 4 and 5can be implemented with fewer bin bag areas than shown, the designs according to Fig. 2a , 2b , 3 , 4 and 5 also with more garbage bag areas than shown. Bezugszeichenliste
