Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a trash can with an attached trash bag. [Background technology]

[0002] Trash cans consisting of a housing for storing trash, particularly trash cans having a lid that is pivotally attached to the rear end of the trash can, are well known.Trash cans are stored by throwing trash into the trash can from above the bottomed, cylindrical trash can body.

[0003] In this case, if the trash is directly placed inside the trash can, the trash can may become dirty. Also, when discarding the trash, it is inconvenient because the trash must be removed by hand.

[0004] For this reason, it has been common to place a garbage bag inside the trash can, but in this case, the weight of the garbage will cause the bag to fall, so a means of detachably fixing the bag to the main body of the trash can is required.

[0005] Proposed means for this include hooking the top end of the garbage bag into a notch at the top end of the garbage can body (Patent Document 1), and pivoting a pair of U-shaped garbage bag holder frames with the openings of the U-shaped frames facing each other to the edge of the opening of the garbage can body so that they rise and fall around the opening ends as the center of rotation, so that when the garbage bag holder frames are closed, the garbage bag is clamped and fixed between the garbage bag holder frames, which are inscribed on the inside of the opening edge of the garbage can body, and the inside of the opening edge of the garbage can body (Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-109710 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2003-034404 DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] Among the means for detachably fixing the garbage bag to the garbage can body, the means for hooking the upper end of the garbage bag into a notch provided at the upper end of the garbage can body can be simply constructed, but there is a problem that the work of hooking the upper end of the garbage bag into the notch provided at the upper end of the garbage can body is time-consuming.

[0008] On the other hand, a pair of U-shaped garbage bag holder frames, with the openings of the U-shape facing each other, are pivotally supported on the edge of the opening of the garbage can body so that the opening ends are the center of rotation, and when the garbage bag holder frames are closed, the garbage bag is sandwiched and fixed between the garbage bag holder frames, which are inscribed on the inside of the opening edge of the garbage can body, and the inside of the opening edge of the garbage can body.However, this method requires the work of sealing three continuous sides of the opposing front and back sheets, opening the plastic film garbage bag with the remaining side open into a three-dimensional bag body, and then sandwiching and fixing the open end between the garbage bag holder frames and the inside of the opening edge of the garbage can body, which also poses the problem of being a time-consuming process. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention was created with the objective of providing a trash can with a trash bag that solves the problems of the prior art described above. It is characterized by the combination of a trash can in which a pair of U-shaped trash bag holder frames, with the U-shaped openings facing each other, are pivotally supported on the opening edge of a bottomed, cylindrical trash can body that has a rectangular cross section and rises and falls around the opening end as the center of rotation, so that when the trash bag holder frames are closed, the trash bag holder frames are inscribed on the inside of the opening edge of the trash can body, and a trash bag made of plastic film with opposing front and back sheets that are sealed on three consecutive sides and the remaining side is open, and each sheet is extended from the upper end of the opening to form a clamping area, and the clamping area of ​​the trash bag is clamped and fixed between the trash bag holder frames that are inscribed on the inside of the opening edge of the trash can body and the inside of the opening edge of the trash can body when closed.

[0010] In addition, the device according to claim 2 is characterized in that in the trash can with a trash bag, the trash bag has a flat rectangular bag body region in which three consecutive sides of the front and back sheets are sealed and the remaining side is an opening, and the front and back sheets are extended near the center of the upper end of the opening to form a flat rectangular sandwiching region in a flat convex shape. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] In the trash can with a trash bag of the present invention, a plastic film trash bag is sealed along three consecutive sides of its opposing front and back sheets, with the remaining side open, and each sheet extending from the top of the opening to form a clamping margin. When the trash can is closed, this clamping margin is sandwiched between a trash bag holder frame inscribed within the inside edge of the opening of the trash can body and the inside edge of the opening of the trash can body. To insert a trash bag into the trash can, simply lift the trash bag holder frame upward to release the clamping margin, and then close the trash bag holder frame to easily secure the trash bag to the trash can. Furthermore, removing a trash bag filled with trash from the trash can is easy; after lifting the trash bag holder frame upward to release the clamping margin, the trash bag can be easily lifted out of the trash can by holding the clamping margin and lifting the trash bag from the trash can. Furthermore, because the bag-forming margin of the trash bag is not sandwiched between the trash bag holder frame and the inside edge of the opening of the trash can body, trash does not accidentally spill out.

[0012] In addition, according to the trash can with trash bag described in claim 2, in which the trash bag has a flat rectangular bag body configuration area with three consecutive sides of the front and back sheets sealed and the remaining side opened, and the front and back sheets are extended near the center of the upper end of the opening to form a flat rectangular sandwich area, making it flat convex.Since the front and back sheets have a flat convex shape, there is no waste when cutting them out from the sheet material.

[Figure 9] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the trash can with a trash bag placed inside the trash can body and the lid on. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0014] The following describes a specific embodiment of the trash can of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 shows the entire trash can with a trash bag of the present invention, and takes as an example a trash can with a lid that is pivotable around the rear end of the trash can.

[0015] This trash can has a trash inlet at the top of the trash can body 1, and a lid 5 pivots about the rear end of the trash can, and the lid is pushed up by a lifting member that rises and falls with the up and down movement of a pedal located below the trash can, as is well known in the art.

[0016] In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates the main body of the trash can, which is made of plastic. The trash can main body 1 is a container-like structure with a rectangular cross section and a bottom, with an opening at the top as the trash inlet, and a lid 5 is attached to the trash inlet so that it can be rotated. The lid 52 is attached to the rear end of the trash can so that it can be opened and closed by pivoting at a pivot point 6, and is equipped with the following mechanism that allows the user to open and close the lid by operating a pedal.

[0017] That is, a lifting rod is arranged vertically at the rear of trash can body 1 so as to be able to move up and down freely, and the lower end of the lifting rod is connected by a pivot to the rear end of a rotating rod (not shown) which rotates up and down like a seesaw around a pivot (not shown) provided on the underside of the bottom of the trash can body, and abutment part 7 at the upper end of the lifting rod is arranged so as to abut against abutment part provided near the pivot on the underside of lid body 5. In front of the rotating rod, a pedal 8 which can be operated by foot protrudes from the lower front of the trash can, and when the pedal is lowered, the lifting rod rises and pushes open lid body 5.

[0018] In the figure, reference numerals 9, 9 designate a pair of garbage bag retaining frames. These garbage bag retaining frames are configured in a planar U-shape, with the openings of the U-shape facing each other, and are pivotally supported on the opening edge 2 of the trash can body, which is a cylindrical, bottomed, rectangular in cross section, so that the opening edge is the center of rotation. Reference numerals 10, 10 in the figure designate pivotal parts in this case. Reference numeral 3 in the figure designates a step that protrudes from the inner periphery of the opening edge 2 to receive the garbage bag retaining frames 9 when they are closed. When the garbage bag retaining frames are closed, a protrusion 11 protruding from the lower end of the retaining frame is inserted into a long hole 4 drilled in the step 3. With the above configuration, the pair of garbage bag retaining frames 9, 9 are inscribed on the inside of the opening edge 2 of the trash can body 1 when closed.

[0019] 4 and 5, the reference numeral 20 denotes a garbage bag according to the present invention. This garbage bag 20 is a garbage bag made of a known plastic film, with three consecutive sides of opposing front and back sheets sealed and the remaining side open, with each sheet extending from the top edge of the opening to form a sandwiching margin. Here, three consecutive sides of front and back sheets 21A and 21B are sealed, with the remaining side forming opening 23, forming a bag-forming region 21, which is a flat rectangular shape, and the front and back sheets extend near the center of the top edge of the opening to form a flat rectangular sandwiching margin region 22, forming a planar convex shape.

[0020] When using the above garbage bag 20, the bag-forming region 21 is opened to form a three-dimensional bag (see Figure 6). In this case, the clamping margin region 22 does not cover the entire opening edge, but is provided at a distance from the opening edge, so that the opening edge without the clamping margin region forms both side surfaces of the bag-forming region when the bag is formed into a three-dimensional bag, and flat rectangular clamping margin regions 22, 22 extend from the front and back surfaces of the bag-forming region.

[0021] 7 to 9 are diagrams showing how to use the trash can with a trash bag of the present invention, which has the above-mentioned configuration. The trash bag 20, which has the bag-forming region 21 opened to form a three-dimensional bag, is placed inside the trash can body 1, and the clamping margin regions 22, 22 are passed to the outside between the trash bag holding frames 9, 9, which are raised upward, and the opening edge 2 of the trash can body (see FIG. 7).

[0022] Next, the garbage bag holding frames 9, 9 that were raised upward are folded down and closed, so that the clamping margin areas 22, 22 of the garbage bag 20 are clamped and fixed between the garbage bag holding frames and the inside of the opening edge 2 of the garbage can body 1 (see Figures 8 and 9).
