[0016] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification, "upward" refers to the direction facing upward in the vertical direction when the waste container body is placed on a horizontal surface with the upper opening facing up, and "downward" refers to the direction facing downward in the vertical direction.

[0017] <Embodiment 1> Fig. 1 shows a trash container body 100 of a trash container 800 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 1(a) is an overall perspective view of trash container body 100, Fig. 1(b) is an enlarged perspective view from above of the upper end of front surface 120, Fig. 2(a) is an enlarged perspective view from below of the upper end of front surface 120, Fig. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in Fig. 1, and Fig. 2(c) is an enlarged perspective view from below of the upper end of rear surface 140.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1(a), the trash container body 100 is made of synthetic resin and has a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape, and includes a bottom surface 110, a front surface 120 rising from the bottom surface 110, side surfaces 130 on both sides, and a rear surface 140, with an upper end forming an upper opening 150. A flange portion 190 is provided at the upper end of the trash container body 100, and the flange portion 190 is disposed so as to surround the outer edge of the upper opening 150. The flange portion 190 includes a flat front flange portion 121 at the upper end of the front surface 120, and a flat rear flange portion 141 at the upper end of the rear surface 140. The interior of the trash container body 100 forms a storage space 160 capable of storing trash.

[0019] Further, the front flange 121 of the front surface 120 of the waste container body 100 is provided with a body side engaging portion 170 for fixing the bag stopper 200 described later, and an attachment portion 180 for attaching the frame 300. The body side engaging portion 170 is also provided on the rear flange 141 of the rear surface 140, and a total of four body side engaging portions 170 are provided around the upper opening 150. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the body side engaging portion 170 has a locking hole 171 that opens toward the inside of the upper opening 150, and as shown in Fig. 2(b), a locking portion 172 that protrudes above the locking hole 171. A bag stopper side engaging portion 290 of the bag stopper 200 described later is inserted from the locking hole 171 side, and a tip 291 of the bag stopper side engaging portion 290 engages with the locking portion 172, so that the bag stopper 200 is firmly fixed so as not to come off the waste container body 100. Furthermore, the front flange portion 121 of the front surface 120 is provided with positioning holes 122 into which positioning protrusions 225 of the bag stopper 200 described later can be inserted. Note that, although the main body side engaging portions 170 are provided on the front surface 120 and the rear surface 140, the present invention is not limited thereto and any number of portions may be provided at any desired locations.

[0020] The mounting portion 180 also includes a space 181 formed by cutting out a portion of the front flange portion 121, and a rotating shaft 182 protruding into the space 181. A shaft hole 370 of the frame body 300 (described later) is disposed within the space 181, and the shaft hole 370 supports the rotating shaft 182, such that the frame body 300 is attached to the waste container body 100 so as to be able to open and close. A rotation stopper 183 protruding forward from the front face 120 is provided at the bottom of the space 181, and the rotation stopper 183 comes into contact with a portion of the frame body 300 to prevent the frame body 300 from opening too far.

[0021] Next, the bag stopper 200 is shown in Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3(a) is an overall perspective view of the bag stopper 200, Figure 3(b) is a side view of the bag stopper 200, Figure 3(c) is a front view of the bag stopper 200, Figure 3(d) is an enlarged side view of the locking groove 270 of the side frame 230, Figure 4(a) is an enlarged perspective view of the bag stopper 200 from below the front, and Figure 4(b) is an enlarged perspective view of the bag stopper 200 from below the rear.

[0022] The bag stopper 200 is a frame made entirely of synthetic resin, and includes a front frame 220, side frames 230, and a rear frame 240. The front frame 220 includes a flat front flange 221 that is placed on the front flange 121 of the front surface 120 of the waste container body 100, an insertion portion 222 that extends downward from the front flange 221, and a protruding portion 223 that protrudes upward from the front flange 221. The insertion portion 222 is inserted into the inside of the upper opening 150 of the waste container body 100 when the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100. The protruding portion 223 is a portion on which a bag can be hung, as described later, and includes a hole 260 that can be used to roll up an excess part of the bag to make it compact. The hole 260 is a horizontally long hole, but is not limited to this, and may be of any shape as long as it can accommodate a part of a bag. Furthermore, when hole 260 is a horizontally long hole, bag stopper 200 around hole 260 is prone to elastic deformation, so that even if there is a dimensional tolerance, frame body 300 will not become unable to close due to deformation even if frame body 300 abuts against bag stopper 200. Also, hole 260 is wider on the upper side than on the lower side.

[0023] Further, a bag stopper side engaging portion 290 is provided below the front flange portion 221 of the front frame 220. The bag stopper side engaging portion 290 is claw-shaped, and a tip 291 of the bag stopper side engaging portion 290 engages with the main body side engaging portion 170 on the front surface 120 side of the waste container main body 100. Note that the bag stopper side engaging portion 290 is claw-shaped and is designed to engage with the hole-shaped main body side engaging portion 170, but is not limited to this, and the bag stopper side engaging portion 290 and the main body side engaging portion 170 can have any configuration as long as they can engage with each other.

[0024] The front flange 221 is provided with a positioning projection 225 that projects downward. The positioning projection 225 is inserted into a positioning hole 122 on the front surface 120 side of the waste container body 100 to serve as a positioning position when the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100. The front flange 221 is provided with a recess 226 that is recessed inward. When the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100, the recess 226 vertically overlaps with a space 181 on the front surface 120 side of the waste container body 100. Therefore, when the shaft hole 370 of the frame 300 supports the rotation shaft 182 of the waste container body 100, the recess 226 does not interfere with the shaft hole 370 of the frame 300, which will be described later. The abutting body 227 that extends downward from a part of the recess 226 is a part that abuts against the edge of the space 181 of the waste container body 100. As shown in FIG. 4(a), a protrusion 228 protruding downward from the front flange portion 221 abuts against a part of the frame 300 to restrict rotation so that the frame 300, which will be described later, does not open more than necessary.

[0025] The side frame 230 also includes a flat side flange portion 231 that is placed on the upper end of the side surface 130 of the waste container body 100, an insertion portion 232 that extends downward from the side flange portion 231, and a protruding portion 233 that protrudes upward from the side flange portion 231. The insertion portion 232 is inserted into the inside of the upper opening 150 of the waste container body 100 when the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100. The protruding portion 233 is a portion on which a bag can be hung, as described later, and includes a hole 260 into which an excess part of the bag can be inserted to make the bag compact. The protruding portion 233 is further provided with a locking groove 270 that extends downward. The bag can be easily attached to the bag stopper 200 by inserting a part of the bag into an opening 271 at the upper end of the locking groove 270 and locking it.

[0026] 3(d), locking groove 270 includes recess 280. Locking groove 270 extends along axis X in the up-down direction, and recess 280 extends along axis Y that intersects with the extension direction. In this way, recess 280 is disposed so as to intersect with the extension direction of locking groove 270, so that a part of a bag inserted into locking groove 270 (e.g., a bag handle) is locked in recess 280 and is less likely to come off.

[0027] The locking groove 270 extends along the axis X in the vertical direction, but is not limited thereto, and may extend along an axis in any direction. The locking groove 270 has a shape that extends linearly, but is not limited thereto, and may have any shape as long as a part of the bag can be inserted and locked. The recess 280 intersects with the extension direction (axis X) of the locking groove 270 at an angle of about 60 degrees, but is not limited thereto, and may be disposed intersecting with the extension direction of the locking groove 270 at any angle. The recess 280 has a configuration that is recessed into a substantially square shape, but is not limited thereto, and may have any shape as long as a part of the bag inserted into the locking groove 270 can be locked. The locking groove 270 has two recesses 280 provided so as to face each other, but is not limited thereto, and any number of recesses 280 may be disposed at any location.

[0028] The rear frame 240 also includes a flat rear flange portion 241 that is placed on the rear flange portion 141 of the rear surface 140 of the waste container body 100, an insertion portion 242 that extends downward from the rear flange portion 241, and a protruding portion 243 that protrudes upward from the rear flange portion 241. The insertion portion 242 is inserted into the inside of the upper opening 150 of the waste container body 100 when the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100. A bag stopper side engaging portion 290 is provided on the lower side of the rear flange portion 241 of the rear frame 240, and a tip 291 of the bag stopper side engaging portion 290 engages with the main body side engaging portion 170 on the rear surface 140 side of the waste container body 100. The protruding portion 243 is a portion on which a bag can be hung, as described later, and includes a hole 260 into which an excess part of the bag can be inserted to make the waste container body 100 more compact.

[0029] Further, locking grooves 270 are provided at the corners between the front frame 220 and the side frame 230 and at the corners between the side frame 230 and the rear frame 240. The locking grooves 270 are provided with recesses 280 that intersect with the extension direction of the locking grooves 270. In the locking grooves 270 disposed at the corners between the front frame 220 and the side frames 230, one recess 280 is disposed on the front frame 220 side, and the other recess 280 is disposed on the side frame 230 side. In the locking grooves 270 disposed at the corners between the side frames 230 and the rear frame 240, one recess 280 is disposed on the side frame 230 side, and the other recess 280 is disposed on the rear frame 240 side.

[0030] In addition, since the bag stopper 200 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 270, the size of the bag and the number of bags can be freely selected and attached according to the user's purpose. Although the bag stopper 200 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 270, the present invention is not limited to this, and only one locking groove 270 may be provided. Furthermore, the locking groove 270 has a recess 280, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the locking groove 270 does not have to have a recess 280. Furthermore, the edges of the bag stopper 200, the edges of the hole 260, and the edges of the locking groove 270 are reinforced with ribs to provide strength and prevent the bag from becoming thick. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4(b), the ribs 273 on the edges of the locking groove 270 are ridged on the outside, making it easy to hang the bag from the side.

[0031] In addition, a surface portion 201 is provided at the corner between the front frame 220 and the side frame 230 and at the corner between the side frame 230 and the rear frame 240. Since this surface portion 201 is adjacent to the locking groove 270, the user can easily hook the bag into the locking groove 270 by using the surface portion 201, which is easily visible from above and has a strong presence, as a guide. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the height of the rear frame 240, which is the short side of the bag stopper 200, is lower than the height of the side frame 230 on the long side to avoid interference with the rotation shaft 380 of the frame body 300 described later. In addition, the height of the holes 260 themselves provided in the front frame 220 and the rear frame 240, which are the short sides, is the same as the height of the holes 260 themselves provided in the side frame 230 on the long side, but the holes 260 on the short side are provided at a lower position than the holes 260 on the long side.

[0032] Next, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 show the frame body 300. Fig. 5(a) is an overall perspective view of the front side of the frame body 300, Fig. 5(b) is an overall perspective view of the back side of the frame body 300, Fig. 6(a) is an enlarged perspective view of the shaft hole 370 on the back side of the frame body 300, and Fig. 6(b) is an enlarged perspective view of the bag pressing portion 346 on the back side of the frame body 300.

[0033] The frame body 300 is a frame body made entirely of synthetic resin, and includes a front frame 320, a side frame 330, and a rear frame 340. The entire circumference of the upper end side of the frame body 300 is an inclined surface 301 inclined outward, so that it is easy to hold and has a unified design. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6(a), the front frame 320 includes a flat upper wall 321, an outer wall 322 that hangs down from the upper wall 321 to the outside, and an inner wall 323 that hangs down from the upper wall 321 to the inside. The outer wall 322 has a longer overall length than the inner wall 323. Furthermore, the inner space 324 surrounded by the upper wall 321, the outer wall 322, and the inner wall 323 opens downward, and as described later, the front frame 220 of the bag stopper 200 can be accommodated therein. An axis hole 370 is provided on the inside of the outer wall 322 of the front frame 320. This shaft hole 370 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 182 of the waste container body 100. A flat, plate-like bag pressing portion 326 is provided in the space 324 of the front frame 320. This bag pressing portion 326 serves as a portion that presses the bag to prevent it from shifting when the front frame 220 of the bag stopper 200 with the bag attached is accommodated.

[0034] The side frame 330 of the frame body 300 includes a flat upper wall 331, an outer wall 332 that hangs down from the upper wall 331 to the outside, and an inner wall 333 that hangs down from the upper wall 331 to the inside. The outer wall 332 has a longer overall length than the inner wall 333. An inner space 334 surrounded by the upper wall 331, the outer wall 332, and the inner wall 333 opens downward, and can accommodate the side frame 230 of the bag stopper 200 therein, as described below. The gap between the outer wall 332 of the side frame 330 on the long side and the accommodated bag stopper 200 is larger than the gap between the outer wall 322 of the front frame 320 on the short side and the bag stopper 200. Therefore, when a bag is attached to the bag stopper 200 and the bag stopper 200 is housed within the frame body 300, even if the bag pops out of the frame body 300, the bag can be easily pulled in by pulling it from the inside.

[0035] The rear frame 340 of the frame body 300 includes a flat upper wall 341, an outer wall 342 that hangs down from the upper wall 341 to the outside, and an inner wall 343 that hangs down from the upper wall 341 to the inside. The outer wall 342 has a longer overall length than the inner wall 343. An inner space 344 surrounded by the upper wall 341, the outer wall 342, and the inner wall 343 opens downward, and can accommodate the rear frame 240 of the bag stopper 200, as described below. A flat, plate-shaped bag pressing portion 346 is provided in the space 344 of the rear frame 340. This bag pressing portion 346 serves as a portion that presses the bag so that the bag does not shift when the rear frame 240 of the bag stopper 200 with the bag attached is accommodated. When the bag stopper 200 is accommodated in the frame body 300, the bag pressing portion 346 may abut against a part of the bag stopper 200. Furthermore, a rotation shaft 380 is provided on the rear frame 340, and a lid body 400 (described later) can be rotatably attached to the frame body 300.

[0036] Next, a method for assembling the waste container 800 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state in which the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100, and Figure 8 is an enlarged perspective view showing the state in which the frame body 300 is attached to the waste container body 100.

[0037] First, as shown in FIG. 7, when assembling the waste container 800, the bag stopper 200 is attached to the waste container body 100. Specifically, the lower end of the bag stopper 200 is inserted inside the upper opening 150 of the waste container body 100. Then, the bag stopper side engagement parts 290 of the bag stopper 200 are engaged with the body side engagement parts 170 of the waste container body 100 to fix the bag stopper 200 to the waste container body 100. At this time, the positioning protrusion 225 of the bag stopper 200 is inserted into the positioning hole 122 of the waste container body 100, so that the positioning when fixing the bag stopper 200 to the waste container body 100 can be easily performed. In addition, the body convex part 101 of the waste container body 100 is inserted into the concave receiving part 202 of the bag stopper 200, so that the bag stopper 200 is prevented from falling inward due to the inward force when the bag is hung or the weight of the waste in the bag. Note that, in the waste container 800, the bag stopper side engaging part 290 and the main body side engaging part 170 are provided, by which the bag stopper 200 is fixed to the waste container main body 100, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the waste container 800 does not have to have the bag stopper side engaging part 290 and the main body side engaging part 170. In this case, the bag stopper 200 is placed on and attached to the upper opening 150 of the waste container main body 100, but is not firmly fixed by engagement or the like.

[0038] Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the frame body 300 is attached from above the bag stopper 200 in a state where the bag stopper 200 is attached to the garbage container body 100. Specifically, the frame body 300 is placed over the bag stopper 200 so that the bag stopper 200 is accommodated in the space inside the frame body 300. Then, the pivot shaft 182 of the garbage container body 100 is inserted into the pivot hole 370 of the frame body 300 and pivoted, so that the frame body 300 is attached to the garbage container body 100 so as to be openable and closable. The user can attach a bag to the bag stopper 200, but the frame body 300 can hide the bag attached to the bag stopper 200. In addition, the frame body 300 hides the attachment points between the bag stopper 200 and the garbage container body 100 (the bag stopper side engagement part 290 and the body side engagement part 170, etc.), so that an overall smart impression can be given. The bag stopper 200 can also be stored in the frame body 300 during transportation, etc.

[0039] The lid 400 is a substantially rectangular plate member having a front edge 420, a side edge 430, and a rear edge 440, and is configured so that the top surface 410 can cover the opening 310 of the frame 300. The rear edge 440 of the lid 400 is provided with an axis hole 480, and when the rotation axis 380 of the frame 300 is inserted into the axis hole 480 and pivoted, the lid 400 is attached to the frame 300 so as to be able to open and close.

[0040] Next, a usage mode of the waste container 800 of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9(a) is an overall perspective view in a state where the frame body 300 and the lid body 400 are open, and Fig. 9(b) is an overall perspective view in a state where only the lid body 400 is open.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 9(a), when attaching a bag to the bag stopper 200 or when removing a bag from the waste container body 100, the frame body 300 is rotated to the open state. The frame body 300 is rotated forward and opened by the pivot hole 370 and pivot shaft 182 located on the front side of the waste container 800. Therefore, with the lid body 400 and the frame body 300 attached, a bag can be attached with the bag stopper 200 left attached to the waste container body 100. Also, when the frame body 300 is rotated open, a gap is left between the bag stopper 200 and the frame body 300, so the bag can be stopped.

[0042] 9(b), when trash or the like is to be thrown into the trash container body 100, only the lid 400 is rotated to the open position. By opening the lid 400, trash or the like can be thrown into the trash container body 100 from the opening 310 of the frame 300 through the upper opening 150 of the trash container body 100.

[0043] Here, the lid body 400 opens by rotating backward by the shaft hole 480 and the rotating shaft 380 arranged on the rear side of the garbage container 800. In other words, the opening and closing direction of the frame body 300 (forward as shown in FIG. 9(a)) is different from the opening and closing direction of the lid body 400 (rear as shown in FIG. 9(b)). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9(a), when the frame body 300 is rotated to open, the lid body 400 is lifted together with the frame body 300, but since the opening and closing directions of the frame body 300 and the lid body 400 are different, it is possible to prevent the lid body 400 from opening inadvertently, which is highly convenient. Although the garbage container 800 includes the bag stopper 200, this is not limited thereto, and the garbage container 800 does not need to include the bag stopper 200 when a bag is not used or when a bag can be attached by another method.

[0044] <Embodiment 2> Next, a waste container 800A according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 10 and 11. The waste container 800A according to the second embodiment is different from the waste container 800 according to the first embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 9 only in the position of the rotation axis 380A of the frame body 300A and the position of the shaft hole 480A of the lid body 400A, and other configurations are basically the same as the waste container 800 according to the first embodiment, so detailed description will be omitted. Figure 10 is an exploded perspective view of the waste container 800A, Figure 11(a) is an overall perspective view of the waste container 800A in a state where the frame body 300A and the lid body 400A are open, and Figure 11(b) is an overall perspective view of the waste container 800A in a state where only the lid body 400A is open.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 10, the rotation shaft 380A of the frame body 300A is provided on the side frame 330A of the frame body 300A. The shaft hole 480A of the cover body 400A is provided on the side edge 430A of the cover body 400A. The bag stopper 200A is the same as the bag stopper 200 shown in Fig. 8, and the waste container body 100A is also the same as the waste container body 100 shown in Fig. 8. The method of assembling the waste container 800A is the same as the method of assembling the waste container 800 described using Fig. 8, in which the bag stopper 200A is attached to the waste container body 100A, and further the frame body 300A is attached to the waste container body 100A from above the bag stopper 200A.

[0046] If a user wishes to change the lid body 400A to open sideways as shown in Fig. 10, the user can simply prepare and replace the lid body 400A and frame body 300A that are compatible with sideways opening. That is, the waste container 800 according to the first embodiment shown in Figs. 8 and 9 has a lid body 400 that opens vertically backward, but if a user wishes to change the lid body 400A to open sideways, the user can simply prepare the lid body 400A and frame body 300A shown in Fig. 10 and replace them with the waste container body 100A. Therefore, regardless of the opening and closing direction of the lid body 400A, the bag stopper 200A and the waste container body 100A are common parts, which is convenient and reduces costs.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 11(a), when attaching a bag to the bag stopper 200A or removing a bag from the waste container body 100A, the frame body 300A is rotated to open. The frame body 300A is rotated forward by the pivot hole 370A and pivot shaft 182A arranged on the front side of the waste container 800A to open. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11(b), when disposing of waste or the like in the waste container body 100, only the lid body 400A is rotated to open. Here, the lid body 400A is rotated to open to the side by the pivot hole 480A and pivot shaft 380A arranged on the side of the waste container 800A. In other words, the opening and closing direction of the frame body 300A (forward as shown in FIG. 11(a)) is different from the opening and closing direction of the lid body 400A (side as shown in FIG. 11(b)). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11(a), when the frame body 300A is rotated to open it, the lid body 400A is lifted along with the frame body 300A. However, since the opening and closing directions of the frame body 300A and the lid body 400A are different, it is possible to prevent the lid body 400A from opening inadvertently, which provides high convenience.

[0048] Although trash container 800A is equipped with bag stopper 200A, this is not limiting, and trash container 800A does not have to be equipped with bag stopper 200A if bags are not used or if bags can be attached by other methods, etc. Also, frame body 300A opens and closes toward the front, and lid body 400A opens and closes toward the side, but this is not limiting, and as long as frame body 300A and lid body 400A open and close in different directions, frame body 300A and lid body 400A can be opened and closed in any direction.

[0049] The trash container of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples, and various modifications and combinations are possible within the scope of the claims and the scope of the embodiments, and these modifications and combinations are also included in the scope of the rights.
