Disposal Bag And Support System

Abstract

A system for disposal of refuse is disclosed. The system includes a support and a plurality of bags associated with the support such that a first bag is held open to receive refuse and another bag is readily available to replace the first bag when the first bag is filled and removed. The support of the system is configured to be folded into a flat configuration.

1 . A system for disposal of refuse, the system comprising: 
 a support; and    a plurality of bags,    where the support comprises an upper support surface and at least one leg    where each bag of the plurality of bags comprises an upper edge, a closed end, and an open end,    where the plurality of bags are associated with the support such that an individual bag of the plurality of bags is held in an opened position to receive refuse thereinto,    where each bag of the plurality of bags is detachable and removeable such that when the open bag is filled with refuse the bag is detached and removed and another bag is held in an opened position to receive refuse thereinto, until all bags of the plurality are removed, and    where the support is configured to be folded into a folded configuration.    
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , where the support is configured to be erected manually from the folded configuration.  
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , where the support is configured to self-erect from the folded configuration.  
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 3 , where the system is adapted to fit within a waste disposal unit and prevent refuse from falling between the system and an interior wall of such a waste disposal unit.  
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 3 , where the support is configured to hold the plurality of bags, where the support couples the upper edge of the open bag to the upper support surface of the support, and where the support is configured to hold the bag in the opened position.  
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 5 , where the support comprises a holder pivotally coupled thereto.  
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6 , where the holder is positioned over the upper support surface of the support to hold the open end of the bag on the upper support surface.  
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 1 , where the plurality of bags comprises a continuous web of bags, where the closed end of preceding bags are attached to the open end of subsequent bags.  
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 8 , where the continuous web of bags comprises a roll of bags.  
   
   
       10 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising a container, where the container comprises a dispensing opening, and where the container is adapted to contain the continuous web of bags and dispense said web through the dispensing opening of the container.  
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 8 , further comprising a dispensing opening through which the continuous web of bags is dispensed.  
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 3 , further comprising a frame, where the plurality of bags are attached to the frame and each individual bag of the plurality of bags is held open for the disposal of refuse thereinto, and 
 where each individual bag of the plurality of bags is nested within each other and inside an outermost bag.    
   
   
       13 . The system of  claim 12 , where the frame comprises a bonding material on an underside of the frame, the bonding material facing the upper support surface of the support.  
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 12 , where the frame further comprises a plurality of laminate frames, where each laminate frame is attached to an individual bag.  
   
   
       15 . The system of  claim 12 , where each individual bag of the plurality of bags comprises a tab, where the tab is configured to facilitate removal of the individual bag from the frame when the tab is pulled.  
   
   
       16 . The system of  claim 12 , where the frame comprises a frame indicia.  
   
   
       17 . The system of  claim 12 , where each individual bag of the plurality of bags further comprises a line of weakness, where the line of weakness facilitates the removal of the individual bags from the frame.  
   
   
       18 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising an odor control enhancement provided by the frame.  
   
   
       19 . The system of  claim 14 , where the individual laminate frames each comprise at least one bonding material portion where the individual laminate frames are configured to be folded, and where when an individual laminate frame is removed from the system for disposal, the frame is configured to fold together, close off and seal the opening of the laminate frame.  
   
   
       20 . The system of  claim 12 , where the frame further comprises a cinch, where the cinch is configured to secure the frame to the upper support surface of the support.  
   
   
       21 . The system of  claim 1 , where at least one of the individual bags of the plurality of bags comprises a pull indicia.  
   
   
       22 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising an odor control enhancement provided by the plurality of bags.  
   
   
       23 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising an odor control enhancement provided by the support.  
   
   
       24 . The system of  claim 1 , where the individual bags of the plurality of bags further include a bonding material that closes and seals the individual bags for disposal.  
   
   
       25 . A system for disposal of refuse, the system comprising: 
 a support comprising an upper support surface and at least one leg; and    a plurality of bags;    where the plurality of bags are associated with the support such that one bag of the plurality of bags is held in an opened position to receive refuse and when the one bag is removed, another bag of the plurality of bags is readily available for disposal of refuse thereinto, and    where the support is configured to be folded into a folded configuration, restrained in such a folded configuration and when unrestrained to self-erect into an erect configuration.
