Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to a waste disposal apparatus and a method for disposing waste material. More particularly, the present invention is directed to an apparatus having a cutting tool integrated with a mechanism for sealing a tubular sealing material containing waste, and to a method of using the waste disposal apparatus.
- Conventional waste disposal devices and systems are generally available to dispose waste ranging from kitchen refuse to soiled diapers. Most waste receptacles require separate and numerous actions for packing waste and disposing them.
- European patent application No. 0005660 describes a device for disposing kitchen refuse in packages enclosed by flexible tubing derived from a tubular pack of tubing surrounding a tubular guide. The device includes a tube sealing mechanism. The tubing passes from the pack over the top of and then down the guide to a position beneath the guide where it has been closed by fusion to provide a receptacle within the guide means. When this receptacle is full of refuse, a lever is manually operated to actuate an electro-mechanical apparatus including clamping and fusion devices that travel round closed tracks to perform the four-fold task of drawing the receptacle down below the tubular guide, fusing the tubing walls together to seal the top of the receptacle, sealing the tubing walls together to provide the closed base of the next receptacle and dividing the tubing by heat at a location between these two fusion locations to separate the filled package.
- A popular approach for disposing of diapers has been a device using, for example, a tube twisting mechanism to form a pouch about a diaper. Such a device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,869,049. The patent discloses an apparatus to form packets containing disposable diapers comprising a tubing which passes through the top edges of a core opening and then down through the core. The core is turned by means of a twist ring/drive (should be twist ring if this is talking about the current diaper genie) about a cylinder to twist the flexible material at locations between the adjacent packets to seal the packets at their ends thereby providing disposal of the waste. A manually rotatable cutter in the lid is provided for severing the flexible tubing above the twisted packets.
- A commercially available waste storage device for disposal of baby diapers is known as the Playtex Diaper Genie®. In the Diaper Genie®, a waste storage container is fitted with a lid designed to contain odors when the lid is closed. The lid also has a rotatable cutting device designed to sever a storage film from a film cassette positioned in the waste container body. The film cassette having a hole concentrically located therein, is positioned in the waste container body. The film cassette has a top surface from which the storage film extends and has a removable twist drive placed in the concentric hole of the cassette. The storage film extends from the film cassette, over and then down through the twist drive, down through a hole in the film cassette and into the waste container body, all in the shape of a tube. The user manually opens the lid assembly by hand and places waste such as a diaper through the twist drive and hole in the film cassette, into the storage film tube. The twist drive is then manually rotated by the user's hand, which causes the film cassette and stored film to rotate, sealing off the disposed waste in the storage film to form a packet or a pouch with a continuous twisted link still attached to the storage film. The storage film is continuously fed from the film cassette as additional links of packets or pouches are formed. The last link is then severed from the storage film when the waste receptacle has been filled to capacity. This is accomplished by closing the lid and pressing down and rotating a rotatable cutting device accessible from the top of the lid, thereby severing the film from around the rim of the film cassette, now exposed in the absence of the twist drive.
- The contents of the entire prior art references cited herein are incorporated by reference. From the above it can be understood by those having ordinary skill in the art that there are a number of disadvantages associated with prior art waste disposal devices using flexible tubing and tubular sealing material to form packets for disposal of waste materials. It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the steps of placing and positioning the twist drive in the device first by opening a lid, then twisting the ring to seal the waste material inside the film tube, closing the lid, then reopening the lid, closing the lid again before cutting the film may be cumbersome and time consuming. It is clear that a device is needed that will eliminate these disadvantages. Such a device should be relatively safe, economical to purchase, and easy to operate with fewer interventions by the user.
- The present invention provides a waste disposal apparatus and a method for disposing waste material. Specifically, the present invention is directed to an apparatus having a cutting tool integrated with a mechanism for twistably sealing and cutting a tubular sealing material containing waste, deposited in such sealing waste in a tubular sealing material to form a series of waste packages, and to the use thereof. The disclosed integrated twist-and-cut (ITAC) system provides an improvement over existing waste disposal systems by eliminating intervening steps of disposing waste material.
- An embodiment of the present invention comprises an integrated cutting system for a waste storage receptacle. A container body defines a waste bin. An opening provides access to the waste bin. A support in the form of a collar resides adjacent the opening. The collar has a flange extending therefrom and is cylindrically configured for mounting a film cassette above the waste bin. The collar encloses less than all of the opening to the waste bin so that waste material can be passed through the opening and into the waste bin. The invention further comprises a film cassette mounted to the flange of the collar, and a lid hingedly adjacent the collar. The lid portion encloses a first device for a film sealing means for forming waste packets by twisting a flexible film tubing that is dispensed from the film cassette. The lid portion also encloses a second device operably connected to the first device for cutting the waste packet from the film tubing.
- Another embodiment of the present invention comprises an integrated cutting system for a waste storage receptacle. The waste storage receptacle has a body, a collar, a lid and a storage film cassette adapted to be positioned in the collar. The cassette has a continuous length of a tubular storage film therein. The invention further comprises a handle operably connected to the lid. The operation of the handle engages a cutting device and a film sealing device to uniform rotational motion, and twistably seals the film extending from the cassette. A button is also operably connected to the lid. The operation of the button disengages the sealing device from rotation and exposes the cutting device to the film in a stationary state. Further operation of the handle rotates a blade affixed to a blade shoe, the blade severing the film from the cassette.
- Still another embodiment of the present invention involves a method for disposing waste material from a waste disposal apparatus. The method provides a lid having a sealing device and a cutting device therein. The sealing device is operable by a rotatable handle, and the cutting device by a button. A length of film tubing is provided. The tubing has a first sealed portion of the tubing at a location along its length and an open end. The method involves inserting, with the lid open, waste material through the open end of the tubing until it contacts the first sealed portion of the tubing; closing the lid; rotating the handle to rotate the sealing device and the cutting device simultaneously to only twist and seal the open end of the tubing; operating the button downwards and disengaging the sealing device; operating the rotatable handle to rotate the cutting device only, and cut the waste packet only; and discarding the waste packet from the waste disposal apparatus.

FIG. 4 b is a partial cross-sectional view of the apparatus ofFIG. 1 , showing the position of the components of the ITAC system in cut mode, only. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1, 2 , 3 a-3 b and 4 a-4 b, there is shown one waste disposal apparatus embodiment of the present invention utilizing an integrated twist-and-cut system for packing and disposing of waste materials. - In
FIG. 1 ,reference numeral 10 generally represents a waste storage and disposal apparatus having abody 100, acollar 200 and alid 300.Body 100 serves as a receptacle for temporarily storing waste materials introduced intoapparatus 10 throughlid 300 and sealed in packets in thecollar section 200, as will be explained more in detail with reference toFIGS. 2 and 3 below.Body 100 as shown is substantially cylindrical in shape. However, alternative shapes forbody 100 can also be used including rectangular or cubical.Body 100 has a hingedbase 105 and alatch 115 to lock and release the bottom base of the receptacle to provide access to stored waste products inside the receptacle. As would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the hingedbase 105 can be located at any other surface ofbody 100, such as the side. -
Collar 200 is substantially cylindrical in shape and has a diameter substantially the same size as at least one the diameter ofbody 100 to provide a sealing engagement of the collar with the body along the conjoining portions. If an alternative shape ofbody 100 is used, such as rectangular or cubical, then the corresponding mating shape would also be used forcollar 200 to provide a sealing engagement of the collar with the body along the conjoining portions. -
Lid 300 provides the function of housing the mechanisms for the ITAC system of the present invention. The lid and the integrated twist-and-cut system therein will be described more in detail in the preferred embodiments shown inFIGS. 2, 3 a-3 b and 4 a-4 b below.Lid 300 as illustrated is also substantially cylindrical in shape and has a diameter substantially the same size as the diameter ofcollar 200 to provide a sealing engagement of the lid with the top along the conjoining portions.Lid 300 is pivotally connected tocollar 200 by a lid hinge preferably in the rear (not shown inFIG. 1 ).Lid 300 has alid slot 305 formed therein. Lid slot may comprise a button for ease of latching and unlatching.Lid slot 305 may be a u-shaped channel that is operably connected to alid latch 205 to allow user to open andclose lid 300.Lid latch 205 is better seen inFIGS. 2 and 3 b discussed below. - An aspect of an embodiment of the present invention involves a
handle 310 operably interconnected to abutton 320, both formed inlid 300, as shown inFIG. 1 . Handle 310 is configured to be mechanically rotatable by hand. Rotatable handle 310 engages and rotates in unison arotary twist drive 360 and acutting tool 370. Thus,rotatable handle 310 performs not only the conventional function of formingcontinuous waste packets 227, such as shown inFIG. 3 b, from aflexible film 223, but also the function of severing the packets from the film; however, without having to open the lid and performing additional steps. This is accomplished, according to the present invention, by depressingbutton 320 which automatically disengages therotary twist drive 360 and continuing with the rotating action of the handle only to expose now a nonmoving, stationaryflexible film 223 to arotating cutting tool 377, such as a blade, as shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 b. - Aspects of an embodiment of the present invention are shown in
FIG. 2 a, which is an exploded view ofcollar 200 andlid 300 ofFIG. 1 .Lid 300 is pivotally connected tocollar 200 by a lid hinge at 207 preferably in the rear, as shown inFIG. 2 a.Lid 300 can easily be opened or sealably closed overcollar 200 by engaging or disengaginglid latch 205 to and from litslot 305.Lid 300 is configured to house the various components of an integrated twist-and-cut, ITAC, embodiment system, includingwave spring 330,clutch plate 340,yoke 350,rotary twist drive 360, andblade shoe 370, as explained below in detail, so that, when opened, the lid carries with it all the ITAC components, and provides direct access to aflange 209 of the collar where a cassette of film is placed.Cassette 220 is shown inFIG. 3 . -
Collar flange 209 is formed circumferentially about the innercircular wall 210 of the collar as shown inFIG. 2 a.Circular wall 210 extends substantially vertically upward fromflange 209. As used here, horizontal refers to the direction betweencollar latch 205 in the front andlid hinge 207 in the rear as oriented inFIG. 2 a, which is substantially perpendicular to thesidewalls defining collar 200. Vertical refers to the direction betweenlid 300 andcollar 200.Circular wall 210 has a diameter larger than the diameter ofcassette 220 as shown inFIGS. 3 a-3 b and 4 a-4 b (not shown inFIG. 2 a).Circular wall 210 provides support forcassette 220 to prevent it from moving in a horizontal direction yet allowing it to rotate about the center of the collar. - Referring again to
FIG. 3 b,cassette 220 stores the flexible film which emanates from the cassette throughgap 225 and then fords flange 209 area (hidden underneath the film). Rotatable handle 310 then engages therotary twist drive 360, thereby twisting thefilm 223 having waste material, such as a soiled diaper, garbage, etc. previously introduced into the film through the open lid, and sealing the film in a tubular form, thus sequestering the waste material inpackets 227. The same rotatable handle is then used to sever, for example, the last packet from the film of the cassette whenreceptacle 100 is full and ready to be emptied by releasinglatch 105 inFIG. 1 . - In one embodiment of the present invention shown in the exploded view in
FIG. 1 ,rotatable handle 310 has a substantially roundupper portion 311 and acylindrical neck 313 which extends through all the openings centrally formed in the components of the ITAC system, in the order starting fromlid 300,wave spring 330,clutch plate 340,yoke 350,rotary twist drive 360 and engagesshoulder 373 ofblade shoe 370. Handle 310 is, therefore, capable of imparting rotational motion directly toblade shoe 370 withrim 375. In one embodiment, it is preferred that the engagement ofneck 313 toshoulder 373 is in the form of a split spline as shown inFIG. 2 a, although it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the engagement of the neck to the shoulder can be accomplished in different ways, including a press fit neck into a sleeve. - In an embodiment of an aspect of the invention, wave spring in
FIG. 2 a comprises an undulating shape withopening 335, and the undulating portions press upon the upper portion of lid 300 (not shown) when inserted about theneck 313. The bottom surface of the wave spring hasprotrusions 333 as shown in the same Figure. It will be understood that springs of other shapes, including types of protrusions other than shown inFIG. 2 a can also be used.Protrusions 333 of the wave spring press against corresponding recesses (not shown) formed in a lower surface ofclutch plate 340 shown inFIG. 2 a.Clutch plate 340 has anupper surface 341 in the form of a ring with gearedteeth 343.Teeth 343 engage rotatably with teeth located in lid 300 (not shown) whenbutton 320 is depressed. The clutch plate locks therotary twist drive 360 in place whenbutton 320 is pressed. - In another embodiment of an aspect of the invention,
clutch plate 340 has a plurality ofvertical projections 345 formed on its lower surface, as shown inFIG. 2 a.Vertical projections 345 ofclutch plate 340 engage in correspondingopenings 363 that are formed inrotary twist drive 360 shown inFIG. 2 a. In operation, any rotational motion imparted byhandle 310 is transmitted to theblade shoe 370, which is operably connected to the handle vianeck 313 of the handle. In turn,vertical projections 345 of the clutch plate transmit the rotational motion to therotary twist drive 360. It will be noted inFIG. 2 a that theblade shoe 370 nests inside the dome-like cavity 365 under therotary twist drive 360, wherein blade 377 (there may be two or more blades although only one is shown in the diagram) is positioned coplanarly withribbed surface 367 of the rotary twist drive.FIG. 2 a, therefore, shows an embodiment which may be employed in an aspect of the invention, wherein the rotation ofhandle 310 provides zero, or stationary, relative motion between therotary twist drive 360 and theblade shoe 370, thereby providing only a twisting action of thefilm 223 on therim 250 of thecassette 230 shown inFIGS. 2 band 3 a to seal refuse previously deposited into the film, andform packets 227. Thecassette rim 250 contains ribs 260 (FIG. 2 b) that allow the twist drive teeth to engage it and rotate it. - A tubing refill cassette is shown in
FIG. 2 ab as cited in U.S. application Ser. No. 60/499,443. A rotary grip ring or a rotary twist drive may be used to rotate thecassette body 230 effectively twisting theflexible tubing 240 which emanates through agap 245 betweenrim 250 ofcassette 230 and the opencassette core area 235, and is folded down through the opencassette core area 235 into an interior bin space. Thebottom rim 230 of the film cassette rests on several glide buttons that are affixed, for example, to the flange support which may be affixed to the internal wall side of a waste bin. Glide buttons alleviate friction between the bottom ofcassette body 230 and the surface it rests on, and allow the refill to freely rotate in thebody 100. - Another aspect of the present invention involves a
yoke 350 positioned betweenclutch plate 340 androtary twist drive 360.Yoke 350 is generally u-shaped havinglateral projections 351 and acurvilinear shoulder 353, as shown inFIG. 2 a. In assembly,lateral projections 351 straddlevertical projections 345 ofclutch plate 350 and slidably press against thelower surface 347 of the clutch plate. The curvilinear portion ofshoulder 353 protrudes beyond the periphery of theclutch plate 340 to accommodate the seating of abutton 320 in arecess 355 on the shoulder of the yoke, without interference by the clutch plate.Button 320 is operably connected tolid 300, and is better seen inFIGS. 4 a and 4 b. In its normal position , that is, when the button is not depressed as seen inFIG. 4 a,vertical projections 345 can rotate freely in betweenlateral projections 351 when set into motion by rotatinghandle 310, thus also rotating therotary twist drive 360, as described above.Rotary twist drive 360 has adrive collar 361 with a plurality ofopenings 363 corresponding to the plurality ofclutch plate projections 345 which engage the openings to rotate therotary twist drive 360.FIG. 4 a shows a cross-sectional view of the positions of the components of the ITAC system in the twist mode, only. - An embodiment of an aspect of the present invention provides a means for lifting the clutch plate vertically and disengaging the
vertical projections 345 of the clutch fromopenings 363 in therotary twist drive 360, thereby allowing only theblade shoe 370 to rotate when set into motion by rotatinghandle 310 and sever theflexible film 223 from the rim of the cassette, as shown inFIGS. 3 a and 3 b. This function is provided bybutton 320, which, when depressed, causes theshoulder 353 of the yoke to move downward, while moving thelateral projections 351 upwards to lift theclutch plate 340. It will be noted that in the absence of any twisting action,flexible film 223 inFIGS. 3 a and 3 b remains stationary, and hence the relative motion between theblades 377 andfilm 223 will cut the film. Although it may be preferred that a pair of diametrically opposed blades be used along the periphery of thecircular blade shoe 370 of the invention, it will be understood by workers in the field that any plurality of various shapes of blades can also be used. -
FIG. 4 b shows a cross-sectional view of the positions of the various components of the ITAC system in the cut mode, only. Specifically, it will be noted thatbutton 320 is pushed downwards intolid 200, andyoke 350 is tilted so thatvertical projections 345 ofclutch 340 are lifted out of therecesses 363 of therotary twist drive 360. - While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to particular embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes in form and details may be made without departing form the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the handle and button operations can be automated. Furthermore, an indent can be provided for the button so that one need not hold down both the button and the handle during the cutting operation. Also, a number of clicks can be incorporated to the turning of the rotatable handle to signal positively the end of twisting of the film material in forming waste packets. In addition, a sighting can be provided to show the waste bin reaches the full capacity. Cutting blade shown in
FIG. 2 a can also be made replaceable for ease to the user as depicted byblade cartridge 379 in the sameFIG. 2 a.
