Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wastebasket, and more particularly to an invention that is ideal for a tabletop wastebasket to be placed on a desk or the like. [Background technology]

[0002] A known desktop trash can to be placed on a desk or the like has an approximately spherical housing divided into a body and a lid, with a flat section at the bottom of the housing that serves as the base when the housing is placed on the table, and a hole for disposing of trash at a point eccentric to the top of the lid (Patent Documents 1 and 2).

[0003] In this type of trash can, trash that is thrown into the housing through the trash hole is disposed of by removing the lid from the main body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Jitsuzen Showa 48-037739 [Patent Document 2] Jitsuzen Showa 52-039331 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In the above-mentioned trash can, the housing is divided into two parts: the main body and the lid. If the amount of trash disposed of inside the housing exceeds the capacity of the main body, there is a problem that the trash will overflow when the lid is removed from the main body and the housing is divided into two parts to dispose of the trash.

[0006] Furthermore, because the trash is disposed of directly inside the housing, it is not possible to dispose of dirty trash such as used tissues, gum, food crumbs, etc. This is extremely inconvenient in today's world where hay fever is rampant and tissues are frequently used on the table. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present invention was created with the aim of providing a trash can that solves the problems of the prior art. This trash can has a housing divided into a main body and a lid. A cylindrical trash container is erected inside the main body with its tip opening close to the ceiling surface of the lid, and the lid is provided with a trash insertion hole through which the tip opening of the trash container is exposed.

[0008] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that in the trash can, the housing is approximately spherical and a flat portion is provided at the bottom of the housing to serve as the bottom when the housing is placed.

[0009] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that, in the above-mentioned trash can, the cylindrical trash container is set upright in a vertically tilted position, and the trash insertion hole through which the opening at the tip of the trash container is exposed is located at a position eccentric to the top of the lid.

[0010] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that in the trash can, the housing is shaped like a prism.

[0011] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that in the trash can, the housing is cylindrical.

[0012] Furthermore, the invention described in claim 6 is characterized in that in the trash can, the housing is a polyhedron with five or more faces. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the trash can of the present invention, trash is disposed of in a cylindrical trash container installed upright inside the main body of the housing, so even if the lid is removed from the main body to separate the housing into two parts for trash disposal, the trash will not spill out.

[0014] In addition, if a plastic film bag is inserted into the cylindrical trash can, the trash discarded through the trash hole will be contained in the bag, preventing the trash from coming into contact with the trash can, and the trash can can be disposed of together with the bag, making disposal easier. In this case, the trash can is positioned so that its opening is close to the ceiling of the lid, so if the open end of the bag is folded back outside the opening of the trash can, the bag will be pinched between the open end of the trash can and the ceiling of the lid, preventing it from falling out.

[0015] Furthermore, as described in claims 2 and 3, if the housing is made approximately spherical, the cylindrical trash can is set upright at a vertical incline, and the trash disposal hole, through which the opening at the tip of the trash can is exposed, is located at a point eccentric to the top of the lid, it will not get in the way when placed on a desk or the like, and the trash disposal hole opens diagonally to the side of the trash can, making it easy to dispose of trash.

[0017] A specific embodiment of the trash can of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The trash can of the present invention is molded from plastic and consists of a housing divided into a main body 10 and a lid 1. Inside the main body, a cylindrical trash container 11 is erected with its tip opening close to the ceiling surface of the lid, and the lid is provided with a trash insertion hole 2 through which the tip opening of the trash container is exposed.

[0018] In this embodiment, the housing is substantially spherical, and a flat portion is provided at the bottom end of the housing to serve as a bottom 14 when the housing is placed.

[0019] The wastebasket 11 here is cylindrical and stands upright at an angle to the vertical from the bottom 14 and inner wall surface of the main body 10. The wastebasket 11 is long enough that its opening at its tip approaches the ceiling surface of the lid 1, and the lid 1 is provided with a wastebasket insertion hole 2 that exposes the opening at the tip of the wastebasket 11. The wastebasket insertion hole 2 here is circular and has a smaller diameter than the opening at the tip of the wastebasket 11.

[0020] The trash can of the present invention, in which the housing is divided into a main body 10 and a lid 1, has a plurality of arcuate ridges 12 extending in the circumferential direction protruding from the upper edge of the opening of the main body, and the lower edge of the opening of the lid abuts against the upper edge of the opening of the main body, and the ridges 12 abut against the inner wall of the opening of the lid, thereby fitting them together (see Figures 5 and 6). In this case, the circumferential ends of the ridges 12 of the main body 10 are recessed and have engaging grooves 13 extending in the circumferential direction, and the inner wall of the opening of the lid 1 is provided with engaging ridges 3 protruding from it; by abutting the lid 1 against the main body and rotating it, the engaging ridges 3 are inserted into the engaging grooves 13 of the main body, and the lid and main body are fixedly fitted together.

[0021] 7 and 8 show how to use the trash can of the present invention. In the figures, symbol P denotes a bag made of plastic film, such as a vinyl bag. To use the trash can of the present invention, bag P is inserted into trash can container 11 of main body 10, and the open end of the bag is folded back to the outside of the opening of the trash can, thereby joining the main body and lid 1. In this case, since the opening at the tip of trash can container 11 is close to the ceiling surface of lid 1, the folded portion of bag P is sandwiched between the open end of the trash can and the ceiling surface of the lid, preventing it from coming off.

[0022] Figures 9 and 10 show a different embodiment of the trash can of the present invention, in which the cylindrical trash can container 11 is installed vertically without being tilted, and the trash insertion hole 2 in the lid 1 is located at the top of the lid.

[0023] Figure 11 shows a different embodiment of the trash can of the present invention, in which the rectangular prism-shaped housing is divided into two parts: a main body 20 and a lid 21. Inside the main body, a cylindrical trash can container 23 is erected, with its opening at the tip close to the ceiling surface of the lid, and the lid is provided with a trash insertion hole 22 through which the opening at the tip of the trash can container is exposed.

[0024] Figure 12 shows a different embodiment of the trash can of the present invention, in which the cylindrical housing is divided into two parts: a main body 30 and a lid 31. A cylindrical trash container 33 is erected inside the main body, with the opening at the tip close to the ceiling surface of the lid, and the lid is provided with a trash insertion hole 32 through which the opening at the tip of the trash container is exposed.

[0025] Figure 13 shows a different embodiment of the trash can of the present invention, in which a polyhedral housing with five or more sides is divided into a main body 40 and a lid 41. A cylindrical trash can container 43 is erected inside the main body, with the opening at the tip close to the ceiling surface of the lid, and the lid is provided with a trash insertion hole 42 through which the opening at the tip of the trash can container is exposed.
