Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Two trash cans, one for recyclable trash and one for incineration trash, both with trash bags attached, are connected. When storing trash, the trash cans for recyclable trash and incineration trash can be separately stored to solve the above-mentioned problem.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] As a first means, four rectangular plates of the same shape and size are connected to each other at opposite sides to form a cylindrical body. The connecting parts of the opposite sides of the cylindrical body are spaced apart by a distance of at least twice the thickness of the plate, and both the front and back sides of the side parts are connected with a tape material over the entire length of the side parts, so as to be foldably connected. A storage bag with a volume approximately the same as the internal volume when the cylindrical body is opened is attached. Provided is a foldable separate storage item corresponding to SDGs, characterized by the above.

[0006] As a second means, two cylindrical bodies are provided in series, and the connecting part connecting the connecting part of the opposing sides of the plate material of one cylindrical body and the connecting part of the opposing sides of the plate material of the other cylindrical body is spaced apart by a distance of four or more times the plate thickness of the plate material. A connecting part connected by a tape material is provided in the lower half of the folding part of the cylindrical body, and an indented part of a storage bag is provided in the upper half of the folding part. The connecting part is made bendable, and a foldable storage article corresponding to the SDGs is provided.

Effect of the Invention

[0007] As described above, since two trash bins for incineration waste and recyclable waste are connected by a tape material, when storing trash, the incineration waste and recyclable waste can be separately stored in one of the trash bins, making separate storage easy.

[0008] On the other hand, the trash bin of Utility Model Registration No. 3231214 described in Patent Document 1 can be stored by folding, but does not have the function of separately storing incineration waste and recyclable waste. Therefore, when storing incineration waste and recyclable waste separately, two trash bins must be placed side by side at all times, which causes problems such as storage space.

[0009] Also, the trash bin of Utility Model Registration No. 3246111 described in Patent Document 2 is configured to attach a general trash bag to the inner surface of an integrally molded trash bin. Therefore, when storing incineration waste and recyclable waste separately, two integrally molded trash bins must be placed side by side at all times, which causes problems such as storage space.

[0010] Details of the effects other than those described above will be described in the examples of the embodiments described later.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] As a first means, four rectangular plates 1 of the same shape and size are connected with their opposite sides to form a cylindrical body 2. The connecting part 11 of the cylindrical body 2 leaves a space 3 of at least two times the thickness of the plate 1, and both the front and back of the side part are connected with a tape material 4 to be foldably connected. By attaching a storage bag 5 with a volume approximately the same as the internal volume when the cylindrical body 2 is opened, a foldable storage item corresponding to SDGs is provided.

[0013] Also, as a second means, two cylindrical bodies 2 are connected and provided. The connecting part of the cylindrical body 2 leaves a space 6 of at least four times the thickness of the plate 1. At the lower half of the folding part of the cylindrical body 2, a connecting part 8 connected with a tape material 7 is provided, and an insertion part 9 of the storage bag 5 is provided at the upper half of the folding part. The connecting part 8 is made bendable, thereby providing a foldable storage item corresponding to SDGs.

Examples

[0014] The following describes a first embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in Fig. 1, four rectangular plates 1 of the same shape and size are connected to each other along their opposing sides to form a cylindrical body 2. The connecting portion 11 of the plates 1 is spaced apart by a distance 3 of at least twice the thickness of the plates 1, and both the front and back sides of the side portions are connected with a tape material 4 to be foldably connected. By attaching a storage bag 5 having a volume approximately the same as the internal volume when the cylindrical body 1 is opened, a foldable storage item corresponding to the SDGs is constituted.

[0015] And the material of the rectangular plate 1 is assumed to be waste material of a floor sheet. Also, for the material of the plate 1 of a large storage item, a material obtained by attaching a plywood for reinforcement or waste material of a cardboard box to the back surface of the floor sheet is used. Further, the trash bag 5 is a commercially available envelope-type trash bag, and the horizontal dimension of the trash bag is such that it conforms to the outer peripheral dimension of the cylindrical body 2. Also, the connection is made with a commercially available tape material 4 or tape material 7.

[0016] Also, since waste materials of a floor sheet or a cardboard box are used for the material of the cylindrical body 1, the material cost of the trash can corresponding to the SDGs can be procured almost free of charge. Also, the processing can be made simple and inexpensive by simply cutting it into a rectangle with a knife. Also, trash cans with various beautiful patterns can be procured almost free of charge without surface treatment. Also, trash cans of various sizes can be easily made.

[0017] Since the trash bag 5 is a commercially available envelope-type trash bag 5 and the horizontal dimension of the trash bag 5 conforms to the outer peripheral dimension of the cylindrical body 2, the trash bag 5 can be filled to its full capacity. And since a trash bag 5 of a size that matches the size of the trash bag 5 is attached, there is no unsightly protruding part when, for example, a plastic bag is attached, and a good-looking attachment can be made. Also, by attaching a commercially available envelope-type trash bag 5 and performing storage with high capacity efficiency, SDGs-compliant trash disposal can be easily performed.

[0018] And the horizontal dimension of the trash bag 5 and the outer peripheral dimension of the cylindrical body 2 are configured as shown below. The structural dimensions of the trash can of this invention are as follows. TIFF0003252206000002.tif46143

[0019] And, as described above, by providing a trash bag 5 of a compatible size in which the trash can capacity, the dimensions of the trash bag 5, and the dimensions of each storage item are substantially matched, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a visually appealing and capacity-efficient sorting storage item is configured. Here, in the conventional trash can, since it is appropriately attached using a disposable plastic bag or the like, there are problems in terms of appearance and capacity efficiency.

[0020] Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 2, two cylindrical bodies 2 shown in FIG. 1 are connected so that sorting storage can be performed. And, the connecting part where the connecting part 11 of the opposing sides of the plate material of one cylindrical body and the connecting part 11 of the opposing sides of the plate material of the other cylindrical body are connected is provided with an insertion part 9 of the storage bag 5 in the upper half of the folding part with a space 6 of four or more times the plate thickness of the plate material 1, and in the lower half of the folding part of the cylindrical body 2, a connecting part 8 that is foldably connected by a connecting tape material 7 constitutes a foldable sorting storage item corresponding to SDGs.

[0021] And, the connecting part 8 of the cylindrical body 2 is connected using a commercially available tape material 7. And, by providing two trash cans for incineration waste and recyclable waste connected by a tape material 7, when storing trash, the incineration waste and the recyclable waste can be easily sorted and separately stored in either trash can.

[0022] Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIG. 3, by connecting foldably with a tape material 7, the two-connected storage item of FIG. 2 can be folded and used like a single cylindrical body 2 as shown in FIG. 1. This enables easy adaptation to factors such as location, the necessity of sorting storage, and the amount of trash.

[0023] Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the sorting storage supplies of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 can be stored in a flat-folded state as shown in FIG. 4. And since it is folded with the storage bag 5 attached, when sorting storage is required, the opening can be opened with fingertips and sorting storage can be easily performed at any time. Thus, sorting storage in a narrow space can be easily performed.

[0024] Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the sorting storage supplies in a flat-folded state as shown in FIG. 4 are further folded in half and can be easily stored in a smaller folded state by the banding material 10. Thus, the stored supplies in a small-folded state can be opened as shown in FIG. 2 at any time and sorting storage can be easily performed.

[0025] Next, as shown in FIG. 6, by connecting the connecting portion 11 of the cylindrical body 2 with an interval 3 of at least two times the plate thickness of the plate material 1 or with an interval 6 of at least four times the plate thickness of the plate material 1, in the trash can using the floor sheet of the present invention as the main material, a bendable connecting portion can be easily formed. And by this means, it is also possible to make a large-sized foldable storage supply by attaching waste materials such as plywood and cardboard boxes to the main material of the floor sheet. Thus, it is possible to easily cope with various sizes, uses, and usage methods, and it is also possible to easily recycle the floor sheet which is industrial waste, and to configure a foldable sorting storage supply with excellent cost performance and corresponding to SDGs.
