AI Technical Summary
Existing trash cans designed for separate collection require multiple storage chambers, leading to increased size, installation space requirements, and manufacturing costs. Additionally, previous solutions that use trash bags as storage chambers expose the trash, compromising aesthetics.
A trash can with a hook on the back wall for hanging garbage bags, allowing for separate collection without the need for multiple storage chambers, and maintaining aesthetics by hiding the bag behind the can.
The solution enables cost-effective, space-efficient sorted trash collection while maintaining a clean and aesthetically pleasing appearance by concealing the garbage bags.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a trash can.
Background Art
[0002] In a trash can composed of a housing for storing trash, it is useful to be able to store multiple types of trash in a single trash can to support separate collection.
[0003] As a trash can for this purpose, a trash can equipped with multiple trash storage chambers is known (for example, Patent Document 1).

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] Although the above-mentioned trash can corresponding to separate collection is useful, since it requires multiple types of trash storage chambers according to the type of trash, there is a problem that the trash can becomes large, takes up installation space, and the manufacturing cost also increases.
[0006] In the above case, as a measure to cope with multiple types of trash without increasing the trash storage chambers, a device has been proposed in which a hook for locking a trash bag is provided on the side wall of the trash can (Patent Document 2).
[0007] According to the trash can described in the above Patent Document 2, a trash bag can be used as a storage chamber, but there is a problem that the trash is exposed in the trash bag, deteriorating the aesthetics around the trash can.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0008] The present invention was created for the purpose of providing a dustbin that solves the above problems of the prior art. In the dustbin in the form of a housing, it is characterized in that a hook for hanging a garbage bag is provided on the wall surface located at the back.
[0009] Moreover, the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that in the above dustbin, the dustbin has a cross-sectional shape that is angular or circular.
[0010] Also, the invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that in the above dustbin, the dustbin has a lid that is rotatably provided with the rear end of the dustbin as a pivot support, and the hook is provided on the wall surface on the pivot support side.
[0011] Furthermore, the invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that in the above dustbin, the dustbin does not have a lid and has a cross-sectional square shape, and the height of the wall on the back side is higher than that of the wall on the front side.
Effects of the Invention
[0012] According to the dustbin of the present invention, by providing a hook for hanging a garbage bag, the hooked garbage bag can be used as a container for collecting different types of garbage from the garbage stored in the main body, so that a low-cost sorted dustbin can be realized.
[0013] In this case, the hook is provided on the wall surface located at the back of the dustbin. Since the dustbin is usually placed with its back facing the wall of the room, the locked garbage bag will be hidden by the dustbin and will not deteriorate the aesthetic feeling around the dustbin.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0015] Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the dustbin of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 show the first embodiment of the present invention, and here, a dustbin having a lid rotatably provided with the rear end of the dustbin as a pivot portion is taken as an example.
[0016] This dustbin has a structure of a known pedal-opening / closing type dustbin in which a lid is rotatably provided with the rear end of the dustbin as a pivot portion with respect to the dustbin inlet provided at the upper part of the dustbin body 1, and this lid is pushed up by a lifting member that moves up and down by the up and down movement of a pedal provided below the dustbin.
[0017] Reference numeral 1 in the figure indicates the body of the dustbin made of a plastic material. The dustbin body 1 is a bottomed container having a square cross-section with an opening at the upper part as a dustbin inlet, and a lid 2 is rotatably provided with respect to the dustbin inlet. The lid 2 is provided with a pivot portion 6 at the rear end of the dustbin so as to open and close, and the following mechanism that can be opened and closed by a pedal operation by the user is provided.
[0018] That is, a lifting rod 4 is arranged to be movable up and down in the vertical direction at the rear of the dustbin body 1. The lower end of the lifting rod is connected to the rear end of a rotating rod (not shown) that rotates in a seesaw shape up and down with a pivot portion (not shown) provided on the bottom back surface of the dustbin body as a fulcrum. The upper end of the lifting rod is arranged to abut against an abutting portion provided near the pivot portion on the back surface of the lid 2. In front of the rotating rod, a pedal 3 that can be operated by stepping on is protruded from the front lower part of the dustbin. When the pedal is lowered, the lid 2 is pushed open by the lifting rod 4 that rises.
[0019] Reference numeral 5 in the figure is the flap plate of the second waste inlet provided on the lid body 2. Here, the second waste inlet is open within the front one-third region of the lid body 2. The above flap plate 5 is provided rotatably downward with respect to the lid body 2 having a pivot support (not shown), and a biasing force in the closing direction is applied by a torsion coil spring (not shown).
[0020] A hook 7 projects from the upper end of the wall B located on the back surface facing the wall F located on the front surface of the waste bin body 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The above hook 7 is composed of a protrusion with an L-shaped cross section. If the handle G1 of the garbage bag G is passed through the rising side with respect to the bottom side of the L shape, the handle will be hooked on the bottom side of the L shape (see FIG. 4).
[0021] In the above embodiment, the lid body adopts a structure that is opened and closed by a pedal, but of course, a structure in which the lid body is directly held and opened and closed may also be used. Also, of course, the second waste inlet may not be provided.
[0022] FIGS. 5 to 6 are diagrams showing a second embodiment of the present invention, and here, a waste bin without a lid body is taken as an example.
[0023] Reference numeral 10 in the figure indicates the main body of a waste bin made of a plastic material. The waste bin main body 10 is a bottomed container shape with a rectangular cross section that is open at the top as a waste inlet, and a hook 17 projects from the upper end of the wall B located on the back surface with respect to the wall F located on the front surface (see FIG. 6). Here, by setting the height of the wall B located on the back surface higher with respect to the wall F located on the front surface, the garbage bag hooked on the back surface is made less visible.
[0024] In the above embodiment, the waste bin main body has a rectangular cross section, but of course, it may have a circular cross section.
