[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the waste bin components and waste bin described herein will be explained with reference to the drawings.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) The trash can component 10 of Embodiment 1 shown in Figure 1 is used in combination with a bag-shaped object 20 to form a trash can 30. In addition, the trash can component 10 of Embodiment 1 is used in which a flat plate-shaped member 11 is bent or curved and inserted into the inside of the bag-shaped object 20 through the opening 20a of the bag-shaped object 20 to form a trash can 30. Furthermore, the trash can 30 of Embodiment 1 is constructed by combining the trash can component 10 with a bag-like object 20 in a state where the trash can component 10 is bent or curved inward.

[0011] Specifically, the trash can component 10 has a flat plate-shaped member 11. As shown in Figure 2, the flat plate-shaped member 11 is configured to bend inward 11in, and in the bent state, it can be combined with a predetermined bag-shaped object 20 with the opening 20a facing upward to form a trash can 30. More specifically, the flat plate-shaped member 11 is formed from corrugated cardboard into a horizontally elongated rectangular shape, and multiple folds 11a extending in the vertical direction in the figure are provided at intervals in the horizontal direction (four in Embodiment 1). The flat plate-shaped member 11 is then bent inward 11in by folding at each fold 11a. Thus, the flat plate-shaped member 11 has five divided surfaces 11s separated by the folds 11a. Although the flat plate-shaped member 11 shown in Figure 1 is bent inward 11in, it may also be configured to curve inward without providing a fold 11a.

[0012] Furthermore, while the flat plate member 11 is exemplified as being made of corrugated cardboard, it can also be made from other materials such as thick paper or plastic sheets. Alternatively, the flat plate member 11 can be made from a double-layered board material, which is made by stacking and binding together transparent or translucent sheet-like or plate-like materials, such as those used in clear files.

[0013] The flat plate-shaped member 11 of the trash can component 10 is bent inward 11in and inserted into the inside of the bag-shaped object 20 through the opening 20a to form the trash can 30. Further, the flat plate member 11 is configured to generate an elastic force in a direction to restore its shape toward the outside when bent inward at 11in, and when inserted inside the bag-shaped member 20, it presses the bag-shaped member 20 from the inside to the outside by the elastic force and holds it while tensioning the bag-shaped member 20 to form the trash can 30. In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the elastic force generated when the flat plate member 11 is bent is generated by the restoring force generated when the flat plate member 11 itself is bent. However, as described in the third embodiment to be described later, a member for generating the elastic force may be added. In addition, the flat plate member 11 of the trash can constituting member 10 may be curved, and in that case, the elastic force generated may also use the restoring force generated in the flat plate member 11 itself, or a member for generating the elastic force may be added.

[0014] In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the flat plate member 11 of the trash can constituting member 10 has a dimension such that the upper part of the flat plate member 11 protrudes above the bag-shaped member 20 when inserted inside the bag-shaped member 20 to form the trash can 30. Further, when forming the trash can 30, the flat plate member 11 only needs to be accommodated in the bag-shaped member 20, and it is not necessary to abut both end portions 11b and 11b against each other. As shown in FIG. 1, even if there is a gap between both end portions 11b and 11b, the trash can 30 can be formed.

[0015] As described above, since one flat plate member 11 of the trash can constituting member 10 is configured to be bendable inward at 11in and combined with the bag-shaped member 20 with the opening 20a facing upward to form the trash can 30, compared with the case where the trash can constituting member 10 is box-shaped, the materials and costs can be suppressed. In addition, the volume during transportation can be suppressed and the transportation efficiency can be improved. Even when the flat plate member 11 is curved inward at 11in, the same operational effects can be obtained. In addition, the trash can 30 of the first embodiment is configured by combining the trash can constituting member 10 in a state of being bent or curved inward with the bag-shaped member 20. Therefore, as described above, compared with the case where the trash can constituting member 10 is box-shaped, the materials and costs can be suppressed, and in addition, the volume during transportation can be suppressed and the transportation efficiency can be improved.

[0016] Furthermore, since the trash can 30 of Embodiment 1 is constructed by bending a trash can component 10, which consists of a single flat plate-shaped member 11, and inserting it inside a bag-shaped object 20, the trash can 30 can be constructed to accommodate bag-shaped objects 20 of various sizes. For example, if the size of the bag-shaped object 20 is smaller than that shown in Figure 1, the trash can 30 can be constructed with the spacing between the ends 11b, 11b of the flat plate-shaped member 11 narrowed. On the other hand, if the size of the bag-like object 20 is larger than that shown in Figure 1, the trash can 30 can be constructed with the spacing between the ends 11b, 11b of the flat plate-like member 11 widened. In this way, even if the size of the bag-like object 20 changes, the trash can 30 can be constructed using trash can components 10 of the same size.

[0017] Furthermore, the flat plate-shaped member 11 is configured to generate an elastic force that restores its shape outward when bent inward 11in, and when inserted inside the bag-shaped object 20, the elastic force presses the bag-shaped object 20 from the inside to the outside, holding the bag-shaped object 20 taut and thus forming the trash can 30. Therefore, the trash can component 10 is less likely to come off the bag-like object 20, the two can be constructed as a single unit, and the shape of the trash can 30 can be reliably maintained.

[0018] Furthermore, a display section 12 is provided on the surface 11c and / or the back surface 11d of the flat plate-shaped member 11. In the flat plate-shaped member 11, the surface that is bent inward 11in is the back surface 11d, and the surface facing outward is the surface 11c. This display unit 12 is decorated with one of the following: characters, figures, symbols, patterns, designs, colors, photographs, images, or paintings. Furthermore, although Figure 1 shows an example where the display unit 12 is provided on a part of the surface 11c, the entire surface 11c may be used as the display unit 12 and may be decorated with characters, figures, symbols, patterns, designs, colors, photographs, images, or paintings. Alternatively, the display unit 12 may be provided on the back surface 11d. In this case, the display unit 12 may be provided only on the back surface 11d, or on both the surface 11c and the back surface 11d. Furthermore, the display section 12 may include information related to children's studies and academics. Specifically, it may include calculation formulas such as multiplication tables, various formulas, historical information, historical figures, maps (world maps, maps of Japan, maps of prefectures, etc.), prefectural capitals, plants and animals, etc. It may also include useful information for daily life, such as evacuation locations and emergency contact information, and it may also include instructions for sorting garbage to put in the trash can 30 (for example, paper, non-combustible waste, cans, plastic bottles, etc.). Alternatively, it may include pictures or photographs of various characters, celebrities, or cars. Stickers may also be attached, and the stickers may be removable and reattachable.

[0019] Furthermore, an advertisement may be placed on the display section 12. In this case as well, the advertisement may be placed on either a part or the entire surface of the front surface 11c and / or back surface 11d. Alternatively, a calendar may be provided as the display section 12. In this case as well, the calendar may be provided using either a part or the entire surface of the front surface 11c and / or back surface 11d. When the display unit 12 is a calendar, in the first embodiment, the flat plate member 11 is configured to have five divided surfaces 11s that are folded into four. However, for example, in the first modified example of the trash can component 110 shown in Figure 3, the flat plate member 111 is configured to have six divided surfaces 11s that are folded into five sections, each having five folds 111a. Each divided surface 11s displays a calendar 112 for one month in two places, top and bottom, so that a calendar for one year is displayed across all six surfaces. Furthermore, the trash can component 210 of the second modified example shown in Figure 4 has a flat plate-shaped member 211 that is folded into three sections with three folds 211a, and has four divided surfaces 11s. Each divided surface 11s displays a calendar 212 for one month in three places (top and bottom), so that a calendar for one year is displayed across all four surfaces. Furthermore, the third modified trash can component 310 shown in Figure 5 has a flat plate-shaped member 311 that is folded in half and has three divided surfaces 11s, each having three folds 311a. Each divided surface 11s displays a calendar 312 for one month in four locations (top and bottom), so that a calendar for one year is displayed across all three surfaces. Furthermore, if the flat plate member 11 is bent, it becomes possible to continuously display a calendar for 12 months without being restricted by the surface. If a double-layered clear file-like material is used as the flat plate member 11, or if a clear file-like material is provided, the display unit 12 can be constructed from printed material inserted between the double layers.

[0020] In Embodiment 1, the bag-like object 20 is made of a transparent or translucent material (for example, vinyl). Therefore, the trash can 30 is designed so that the display unit 12 and the calendars 112, 212, and 312, which serve as the display unit 12, can be visually inspected from the outside through the bag-like material 20.

[0021] As described above, the trash can component 10 of Embodiment 1 has a display unit 12 on the flat plate-shaped member 11, so that the trash can 30 can be given functions other than accumulating trash. In other words, by applying any of the following to the display unit 12—characters, figures, symbols, patterns, designs, colors, photographs, images, and paintings—it is possible to provide design diversity. Furthermore, if an advertisement is placed on the display unit 12, the trash can 30 can be given a sales promotion function. Furthermore, if a calendar is provided on the display unit 12, a calendar function can be added.

[0022] In addition, since the bag-shaped object 20 is made of a transparent or translucent material, as shown in Figure 1, the flat plate-shaped member 11 is inserted inside the bag-shaped object 20, and the display unit 12 can be visually inspected even when the display unit 12 is covered by the bag-shaped object 20.

[0023] Furthermore, although a plastic bag is used as the bag-like object 20, plastic bags come in various sizes, such as No. 1 to No. 20. Therefore, the flat plate-shaped member 11 can be a bag-shaped object 20, and various sizes of plastic bags can be used, or, as shown in Figure 1, multiple sizes that can be inserted inside each size of bag-shaped object 20 may be provided. In other words, as described above, a trash can 30 can be constructed by combining a flat plate member 11 of one size with bag-shaped objects 20 of multiple sizes. Furthermore, by setting multiple sizes for the flat plate member 11, it is possible to construct trash cans 30 of various sizes by combining them with bag-shaped objects 20 of many more sizes. In this way, it is easy to create trash cans 30 of various sizes. For example, it is easy to create trash cans 30 of multiple sizes, from small ones that are preferable for use on a tabletop to collect small amounts of trash, to large ones that are preferable for use on the floor.

[0024] In particular, if an advertisement or calendar is placed on the display unit 12, the trash can component 10 and the bag-like object 20 can be provided as promotional items and used as a trash can 30 in a conspicuous place such as on a tabletop. For example, a trash can 30 can be formed as a bag-like object 20, having an opening 20a with a circumference of 260mm to 360mm, roughly the size of a coffee cup or bowl. In this case, the height of the trash can 30 can be arbitrarily set by appropriately folding or cutting the opening 20a side of the bag-like object 20. On the other hand, if a large plastic bag is used as the bag-like object 20, a trash can 30 can be constructed that is the optimal size for use on the floor or elsewhere, depending on the type and amount of waste generated. As described above, the trash can 30 using the trash can component 10 and bag-shaped object 20 of this embodiment 1 can easily provide a trash can 30 that can easily accommodate various uses and sizes.

[0025] Furthermore, when trash accumulates in the trash can 30, the trash can component 10 can be removed from the opening 20a, leaving only trash inside the bag-like object 20, which can then be disposed of together with the bag-like object 20. The trash can component 10 can then be inserted through the opening 20a of another bag-like object 20 to form a new trash can 30, allowing for repeated use.

[0026] (Other embodiments) Other embodiments are described below. In the following description, components common to the trash can component 10, bag-like object 20, and trash can 30 of Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0027] (Embodiment 2) The trash can 230 of Embodiment 2 shown in Figure 6 is an example of a trash can component 10 and a bag-like object 220 that are used together. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the trash can 230 of Embodiment 2. The trash can component 10 is configured such that the bag-shaped object 220, with its opening 220a facing upwards, is inserted into the inside of the flat plate-shaped member 11 while the flat plate-shaped member 11 is bent.

[0028] Furthermore, the flat plate-shaped member 11 is configured to generate an elastic force that restores its shape outward when bent inward, and when a bag-shaped object 220 with its opening 220a facing upward is inserted inside the flat plate-shaped member 11, and the upper end of the bag-shaped object 220 is folded back and placed outside the flat plate-shaped member 11, the elastic force holds the upper end of the bag-shaped object 220 taut from the inside to the outside, thus enabling the construction of the trash can 230.

[0029] In the second embodiment of the trash can, since the bag-shaped object 220 is inserted inside the flat plate-shaped member 11, the surface 11c of the flat plate-shaped member 11 is exposed to the outside, and the display unit 12 provided on the surface 11c can be directly seen. Furthermore, the flat plate-shaped member 11 does not come into contact with the garbage placed in the bag-shaped object 220, and the flat plate-shaped member 11 is less likely to get dirty even with repeated use.

[0030] (Embodiment 3) Next, the trash can component 410 of Embodiment 3 shown in Figure 7 will be described. This embodiment 3 of the trash can component 410 shows an example in which the bent or curved portion on the surface and / or back side of the flat plate-shaped member 11 is coated with an elastic material that allows it to spring back in the direction of restoring the flat plate shape. Specifically, at the fold portion 11a, which is the bent part of the flat plate-shaped member 11, elastic materials 40a and 40b are provided on the surface 11c and back surface 11d of the flat plate-shaped member 11 to elastically cause the flat plate-shaped member 11 to return to its flat shape.

[0031] In the third embodiment, the trash can component 410 uses strip-shaped elastic materials 40a and 40b, which are attached to a portion of the vertical direction between the surface 11c and the back surface 11d at the fold 11a. Rubber, silicone, or the like can be used as the elastic materials 40a and 40b. Therefore, when the flat plate-shaped member 11 is bent inward 11in at each fold 11a, the elastic material 40a on the surface 11c is stretched, and an elastic force acting in the contracting direction acts on the surface 11c of the flat plate-shaped member 11. On the other hand, the elastic material 40b on the back surface 11d is contracted when the flat plate-shaped member 11 is bent, and an elastic force acting in the elongating direction acts on the back surface 11d of the flat plate-shaped member 11. As a result, the elastic forces of the elastic materials 40a and 40b act in the direction of restoring the flat plate-shaped member 11 to its flat shape. Although the resilient materials 40a and 40b are provided in a portion of the fold portion 11a in the vertical direction, they may be provided over the entire vertical area. Furthermore, the resilient materials 40a and 40b may be provided continuously in the width direction of the flat plate-shaped member 11. Additionally, the resilient materials 40a and 40b may be provided on only one of the surfaces 11c and 11d of the flat plate-shaped member 11.

[0032] In the third embodiment, the trash can component 410 is provided with elastic materials 40a and 40b on the bent portions of the surface 11c and / or back surface 11d of the flat plate-shaped member 11, which are elastic in a direction that restores the flat plate shape. Therefore, when the flat plate-shaped member 11 is bent inward 11in and inserted into the inside of the bag-shaped object 20 to form the trash can 30, the flat plate-shaped member 11 reliably generates an elastic force in the direction that restores its shape outward, and this elastic force can press and tension the bag-shaped object 20 from the inside to the outside, holding it in place and thus more reliably maintaining the shape of the trash can 30.

[0033] Furthermore, such elastic materials may also be applied to configurations in which the flat plate-shaped member 11 is curved inward. In this case, even if elastic materials similar to those 40a and 40b are provided on the curved portions on the surface and / or back of the flat plate-shaped member, the bag-shaped object 20 can be held in place by being pressed from the inside outward and tensioned, similar to the trash can component 210 described above, thereby providing the effect of more reliably maintaining the shape of the trash can 30. In this case, the resilient material can be provided on a portion of the flat plate-shaped member in the lateral direction, or it can be provided continuously throughout the entire member.

[0034] (Embodiment 4) Next, the trash can component 510 and trash can 530 of Embodiment 4 shown in Figure 8 will be described. This trash can component 510 shows an example in which a suspension member 50 is provided to allow the trash can 530 to be suspended.

[0035] The flat plate-shaped member 511 of the trash can component 510 is sized such that, similar to Embodiment 1, when inserted inside the bag-shaped object 20 to form the trash can 530, the upper part of the flat plate-shaped member 511 protrudes above the bag-shaped object 20. Furthermore, a hanging hole 11e is provided in the portion of the flat plate-shaped member 511 that extends above the bag-shaped object 20. Furthermore, an S-shaped hook-shaped suspension member 50 is inserted into the suspension hole 11e.

[0036] As described above, the trash can component 510 of Embodiment 3 is provided with a suspension member 50 that allows the trash can 530 to be suspended. Therefore, the trash can 530 can be hung, for example, from the side of a desk or table or from a wall, by engaging the hanging member 50 with hooks or holes provided on household furniture, office equipment, or walls. In this case, compared to placing the trash can 530 on the floor, it is easier to put trash generated around desks and tables into it, making it more convenient to use, and it is also less likely to get in the way of floor cleaning. In addition, compared to placing the Trash Can 530 on the desk, it does not get in the way of desk work and is more convenient to use. In this case, when the flat plate-shaped member 511 of the trash can component 510 is bent or curved and inserted into the inside of the bag-shaped object 20, it generates an elastic force in the direction that restores it to a flat plate shape toward the outside, thereby holding the bag-shaped object 20 in place while maintaining tension. Furthermore, while an S-shaped hook is shown as an example of the hanging component 50, other components such as string can be used as long as they enable the trash can 530 to be hung.

[0037] (Embodiment 5) Embodiment 5 shown in Figure 9 is an example in which a suspension member 550 is provided to allow a trash can 230b similar to the trash can 230 shown in Embodiment 2 to be suspended. The hanging member 550 includes a clip 551 and a hook 552. In this embodiment 5 of the trash can 230b, it is possible to hang the flat plate member 11 from a wall, desk, etc., by clipping the flat plate member 11 with the clip 551 and hooking the hook 552 onto the hole 551a of the clip 551, without making a hanging hole 11e in the flat plate member 11. Furthermore, as a suspension member 550, it is also possible to suspend the clip 551 by hooking the hole 551a of the clip 551 onto a hook or other projection provided on a wall, desk, etc., without providing a hook 552.

[0038] Therefore, the trash can 230b of Embodiment 5 is easier to use and more convenient to use than when the trash can 230b is placed on the floor, as it is easier to put trash generated around desks and tables into it, and it is also less likely to get in the way of floor cleaning. In addition, compared to placing the 230b trash can on the desk, it does not get in the way of desk work and is more convenient to use. Furthermore, there is no need to drill a suspension hole 11e in the flat plate-shaped member 11, which reduces manufacturing effort compared to the case where a suspension hole 11e is drilled.

[0039] (Embodiment 6) The flat plate-shaped member 611 of the trash can component 610 in Embodiment 6 shown in Figure 10 has a storage compartment 620 formed on its surface 11c into which an item can be inserted. The flat plate-shaped member 611 also has a display section 12 on its back surface 11d, and the display section 12 is decorated with characters, figures, symbols, patterns, designs, colors, photographs, images, and paintings, similar to those shown in Embodiment 1.

[0040] The storage compartment 620 comprises a first storage compartment 621 and a second storage compartment 622. Each storage compartment 621 and 622 is formed to allow insertion of thin, flake-shaped articles such as paper or thin plastic sheets, and is made of a light-transmitting material (for example, a transparent or translucent material, such as polypropylene resin) that allows the inserted flake-shaped articles to be visually inspected.

[0041] The first storage compartment 621 is a so-called clear file, consisting of two transparent or translucent sheets stacked together, with three sides of the outer perimeter bound together, allowing documents to be inserted between the two sheets from the unbound outer perimeter. It is formed to have an area slightly smaller than the area of ​​the dividing surface 11s. Therefore, thin items such as relatively large printed materials can be inserted. The second storage compartment 622 is smaller in size than the first storage compartment 621 and is sized to accommodate business cards made of paper or plastic. The second storage compartment 622 may be formed by directly binding three sides of a transparent or translucent sheet to the first storage compartment 621, or it may be formed from two sheets and attached to the first storage compartment 621. Therefore, a sales representative can insert printed materials such as advertisements for products or other sales targets into the first compartment 621 and business cards into the second compartment 622, and use it to distribute as a promotional item during sales activities.

[0042] Furthermore, the first storage compartment 621 can hold, for example, text, figures, symbols, patterns, designs, colors, photographs, images, and paintings as shown in the display section 12 above, as well as documents containing information about children's studies and academics. It can also hold printed materials such as calendars. In this way, instead of printing or other designs on the flat plate member 611, it can accommodate multiple uses by simply inserting paper. Therefore, the storage compartment 621 may be provided on all of the dividing surfaces 11s, or on any of the multiple dividing surfaces 11s. Furthermore, although Figure 10 shows an example in which the storage compartment 620 has two storage compartments, a first storage compartment 621 and a second storage compartment 622, it may also be composed of a single storage compartment, and its size, as shown in Embodiment 6, can be any size. Alternatively, the storage compartment 620 may be designed to accommodate items thicker than paper, such as pocket tissues, writing instruments, and other promotional items.

[0043] (Embodiment 7) Next, the trash can component 710 and trash can 730 of Embodiment 7 shown in Figure 11 will be described. This trash can component 710 is an example in which a flat plate-shaped member 11 is placed on the outside of a bag-shaped object 420 to constitute the trash can 730.

[0044] The flat plate-shaped member 711 of the trash can component 710 is provided with a pair of engaging pieces 712, 712 that protrude outward. These engaging pieces 712 may be separate from the flat plate-shaped member 711 and attached by adhesive or the like, or they may be integral with the flat plate-shaped member 711 and formed by bending from the flat plate-shaped member 711. Furthermore, the flat plate-shaped member 711 is held in a bent-inward state, as shown in Figure 11. Alternatively, the flat plate-shaped member 711 may be designed to maintain an inwardly curved state. In addition, since the other components of the flat plate-shaped member 11 are the same as in Embodiment 1, components common to Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted.

[0045] The bag-like object 420 is a so-called shopping bag, which has a bag-like body 421 with a pair of handles 422, 422 at the top. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, the flat plate-shaped member 11 of the trash can component 710 is bent inward and stood upright, a bag-shaped object 420 with its opening 420a facing upward is placed inside it, and the trash can 730 is constructed in a combined state in which a pair of handles 422, 422 of the bag-shaped object 420 are hooked onto a pair of engaging pieces 712, 712 that protrude outward from the trash can component 710.

[0046] Embodiment 7 provides a trash can 730 that can effectively utilize the bag-shaped object 420, and trash can component 710 that can constitute this trash can 430.

[0047] While embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any design modifications that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are included in the present invention. For example, in this embodiment, the trash can components 10, 110, 210, 310, 410, 510, 610, and 710 have a structure that only includes the peripheral wall portion of the trash can, but they may also have a bottom portion. In this case, it is preferable that the bottom portion be formed integrally and continuously with the flat plate-shaped member. Furthermore, although the example shows a transparent bag-like object 20, allowing the display portion 12 of the flat plate-shaped member 11 to remain visible even when covered, a non-transparent material can be used. In particular, when the flat plate-shaped member 11 does not have a display portion 12, or when the bag-like objects 220 and 420 are placed inside the trash can components 10 and 710, the bag-like objects 220 and 420 do not cover the surface 11c of the flat plate-shaped members 11 and 711, so even if a non-transparent material is used, the problem of obstructing the display of the display portion 12 does not occur.
