Disposal bag and system for disposing of sanitary products

Abstract

A system for disposal of sanitary products adapted for use with a sanitary disposal unit, is provided. The system includes a plurality of bags. Each bag has an inner surface, an outer surface and an edge providing an opening into the bag. The system also includes a bag frame which includes an upper perimeter and at least one leg. The bag frame is configured to be positioned in a holding area of a sanitary disposal unit. The bag frame is configured to hold a plurality of bags while holding the edge of one of the plurality of bags coupled to the upper perimeter of the frame. The frame is configured to hold the one bag in an opened position such that the one bag and frame cooperate to prevent sanitary products from falling between the bag and a sidewall of the sanitary disposal unit. When the one bag is removed from frame when the bag is filled, the one bag is configured to fold together to seal to itself to provide a closure.

1 . A system for disposal of sanitary products adapted for use with a sanitary disposal unit, the system comprising: 
 a plurality of bags, each bag having an inner surface, an outer surface and an edge providing an opening into the bag; and    a bag frame including an upper perimeter and at least one leg, the bag frame configured to be positioned in a holding area of a sanitary disposal unit, bag frame configured to hold a plurality of bags while holding the edge of one of the plurality of bags coupled to the upper perimeter of the frame, the frame configured to hold the one bag in an opened position such that the one bag and frame cooperate to prevent sanitary products from falling between the bag and a sidewall of the sanitary disposal unit.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bag includes a bonding material.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the bonding material releasably couples the bag to the frame.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the bonding material couples the bag frame when it is removed from the frame and folded together.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the system includes an odor sorbing material.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the odor sorbing material includes an activated carbon.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the odor sorbing material is disposed on a sheet of paperboard which is disposed in the bag.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the odor sorbing material is disposed on at least a portion of the bag.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bag in its opened extended position on the frame prevents sanitary products from falling between the bag and a sidewall of the sanitary disposal unit.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein when the bag is removed from the frame and the bag is folded together it seals and provides a closure.  
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bag frame includes a holder pivotally coupled thereto.  
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the holder is positioned over the perimeter of the frame to hold the upper end of the bag on the perimeter.  
   
   
       13 . A system for disposal of sanitary products adapted for use with a sanitary disposal unit, the system comprising: 
 a plurality of bags, each bag having an inner surface, an outer surface and an edge providing an opening into the bag;    a bag frame including an upper perimeter and at least one leg, the bag frame configured to be positioned in a holding area of a sanitary disposal unit, bag frame configured to hold a plurality of bags while holding the edge of one of the plurality of bags coupled to the upper perimeter of the frame, the frame configured to hold the one bag in an opened position such that the one bag and frame cooperate to prevent sanitary products from falling between the bag and a sidewall of the sanitary disposal unit; and    a holder coupled to the bag frame, wherein the holder is configured to be positioned over the upper edge of the one bag on the upper perimeter of the bag frame.    
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the bag includes a bonding material.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the bonding material releasably couples the bag to the frame.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the bonding material couples the bag frame when it is removed from the frame and folded together.  
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the system includes an odor sorbing material.  
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the odor sorbing material includes an activated carbon.  
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the odor sorbing material is disposed on a sheet of paperboard which is disposed in the bag.  
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the odor sorbing material is disposed on at least a portion of the bag.  
   
   
       21 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the bag in its opened extended position on the frame prevents sanitary products from falling between the bag and a sidewall of the sanitary disposal unit.  
   
   
       22 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein when the bag is removed from the frame and the bag is folded together it seals and provides a closure.
