Abstract
A disposable trash container has a lining made of plastic or other material forming a bottom and sides, and an expandable spring loaded frame structure connecting between a base at the bottom of the lining and a top hoop near a closable top opening of the lining. One or more clasps hold the lining and frame structure collapsed flat near the base in a low profile state for packaging. When ready for use, the clasp(s) is operated to release the spring loaded frame structure, thereby causing the trash container to open as the frame structure expands and the top hoop moves upwardly and away from the base. The top opening of the lining may be provided with a drawstring or other means to close the trash container prior to disposal.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a disposable trash container and, more particularly, to a freestanding trash container with a spring loaded frame that can be collapsed flat for packaging and which is structured to self-open to an expanded, operable position for use.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- Disposable plastic trash bags are well known and used extensively for containing and disposing of garbage and yard debris. Plastic trash bags are often used as a liner for a more permanent trash can, thereby eliminating the need to regularly clean the permanent trash can after each disposal. Moreover, the permanent trash can, which is formed of rigid materials, provides sufficient support to maintain the disposable plastic trash bags in an upright, open position for easy and convenient deposit of trash items therein. However, when the plastic trash bag is filled, it is sometimes difficult to remove the plastic trash bag liner from the surrounding trash can, particularly if the liner is overstuffed and bulging out from the sides. Occasionally, the plastic liner will tear when attempting to pull the liner free from the trash can, causing the contained trash, and particularly the liquids, to spill into the trash can or onto the floor. After disposal of the filled trash bag liner, a new trash bag liner is placed in the trash can. This requires placement of the liner within the interior of the trash can, while maintaining the top edge of the liner secured to the top rim of the trash can so that the bag liner is held open and does not fall down into the trash can. Properly inserting and securing the bag liner to the trash can prove to be a tedious and frustrating task.
- In view of the shortcomings associated with use of disposable plastic trash bag liners, as described above, there remains a need for a disposable trash container which is self-supporting in an upright, free-standing position for deposit of items of trash therein. Moreover, there is a need for a disposable free-standing trash container which is operable between a collapsed, flat arrangement for packaging and an expanded, upright and free-standing arrangement for use. Further, there is a need for a disposable, free standing trash container that includes means for securing the container closed prior to disposal.
- In view of the foregoing, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a disposable and free-standing trash container that folds flat for packaging and which readily springs open to an operable position for deposit of articles of trash therein.
- It is a further object of the present invention to provide a disposable and free-standing trash container which includes means for securing the container closed when filled with trash, thereby allowing for convenient and neat disposal.
- It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a disposable and free-standing trash container which is collapsible to assume a low profile and relatively flat orientation for packaging and shipping, and whereby several disposable trash container units can be packaged together for sale to the consumer.
- It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a disposable and free-standing trash container which incorporates a spring action supporting frame structure, thereby allowing the disposable trash container to be collapsed for packaging and readily expanded to assume the free standing, upright operable position for use.
- It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a disposable and free-standing trash container which can be manufactured at a reasonable cost, thereby providing a disposable product for one-time use which is affordable to the average consumer.
- These and other objects and advantages of the present invention are more readily apparent with reference to the detailed description and accompanying drawings.
- The present invention is directed to a disposable trash container that has a lining made of plastic or other material forming a bottom and sides, and an expandable spring loaded frame structure, connecting between a base at the bottom of the lining and a top hoop near a closable top opening of the lining. One or more clasps hold the lining and spring loaded frame structure collapsed flat near the base in a low profile state for packaging. When ready for use, the clasp(s) is operated to release the spring loaded frame structure, thereby causing the trash container to self open as the frame structure expands and the top hoop moves upwardly away from the base. The top opening of the lining may be provided with a drawstring or other means to cinch the trash container closed prior to disposal.
- For a fuller understanding of the nature of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the collapsible frame structure of the disposable trash container of the present invention, and wherein the frame structure is shown in a collapsed position for packaging; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the disposable trash container frame structure ofFIG. 1 shown in an expanded, operable position to support the sides of a plastic lining (shown in phantom lines) upright with the open top of the lining held open for deposit of articles of trash therein; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the plastic lining and frame structure of the disposable trash container in the collapsed position for packaging and storage; and -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the plastic lining and frame structure ofFIG. 3 in the expanded, operable position so that the sides of the plastic lining are supported upright and the open top of the lining is maintained open for deposit of articles of trash therein. - Like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
- Referring to the several views of the drawings, the disposable trash container of the present invention is shown and is generally indicated as 10.
- With initial reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , thedisposable trash container 10 has a supportingframe structure 12 including abase 14, atop hoop 16 and a spring loaded frame orcoil 18 connecting between thebase 14 and thetop hoop 16. In a preferred embodiment, thebase 14 is in the form of aflat plate 20 to provide a rigid and stable bottom to thetrash container 10. More particularly, theflat plate 20 serves to support thedisposable trash container 10 on a floor surface so that thetrash container 10 is able to stand upright, as seen inFIGS. 2 and 4 . - The
top hoop 16 is movable relative to thebase 14 by action of the spring loaded frame orcoil 18 from the collapsed, compressed state ofFIG. 1 to the expanded, relaxed state ofFIG. 2 . Thetop hoop 16 serves to maintain the shape of the upper portion of a lining 30 (shown in phantom lines in FIGS. 1 and 2) and forms anopen mouth 34 at or near a top opening 36 of thelining 30. - In addition to urging the
frame structure 12 from the collapsed position (seeFIG. 1 ) to the expanded position (seeFIG. 2 ), the spring loaded frame orcoil 18 serves to provide support and shape to the sides of theplastic lining 30 when in the expanded, upright position. - As seen in
FIG. 3 , one ormore clasps 40 are provided to hold the spring loaded frame orcoil 18 in the compressed state, with thetop hoop 16 held close to thebase 14 and theplastic lining 30 collapsed. This allows the overall volume of thedisposable trash container 10 to be reduced for packaging, transport and storage. Additionally, while in this relatively flat, low profile orientation, several units of the disposable trash container can be packaged together, in a single carton for sale to the consumer. - In use, the collapsed disposable trash container 10 (See
FIG. 3 ) is removed from the package and the one ormore clasps 40 are opened by the user (using the fingers) to release the spring loaded frame orcoil 18, thereby causing theframe structure 12 and lining 30 to self open to the expanded, operable position seen inFIG. 4 . Once thetrash container 12 is filled with trash, or is otherwise ready for disposal, the topopen end 36 of thelining 30 is secured closed and theentire trash container 10 is discarded. Closing of the opentop end 36 of the lining can be achieved with the use of plastic lock ties, twist ties or a built-in draw string. - As seen in
FIG. 4 , the spring loadedframe structure 12, thespring coil 18 and/or thetop hoop 16 can be contained within a sleeve orpocket 50 formed in thelining 30, thereby concealing theframe structure 12 from view. Alternatively, thedisposable trash container 10 can be constructed so that theframe structure 12 is visibly exposed either on the interior or exterior of thelining 30. It is further noted that the overall shape of theframe structure 12, thebase 20, thetop hoop 16, and, accordingly, thetrash container 10 may vary from that shown in the drawings. For instance, thebase 14,spring coil 18 andtop hoop 16 may be made to have a geometric shape other than round, such as, for instance, square, rectangular, oval, hexagon, etc. - While the instant invention has been shown and described in accordance with a preferred and practical embodiment thereof, it is recognized that departures from the instant disclosure are contemplated within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
