Waste container with garbage bag retainer and reservoir

Abstract

A waste container having a rigid or semi-rigid side wall is fitted with means to retain a trash bag therein which prevents said trash bag from sliding down into the receptacle during use. Said receptacle also has perforations in said side walls to allow the escape of trapped air from between said side wall and said trash bag. Said receptacle is also equipped with means which forms a reservoir for unused bags at the bottom of said receptacle, said reservoir means having an opening therein which allows the withdrawal of an unused trash bag without the necessity of removing said reservoir from said receptacle.

1 . A waste container comprising at least one surface having an inside wall and an outside wall forming a continuous shape having a first opening and a second opening; said first opening being sealingly attached to a bottom portion, the edge of said surface being in conforming relationship to the shape of said bottom portion; a bag retainer slidably located on said waste container; a bag reservoir comprising a wall with a top fixedly attached thereto, said top having an opening therethrough; said one surface having a plurality of perforations therethrough; a rigid bag retaining ring substantially conforming in shape to said second opening in said wall, and a slide arrester in close proximity to said second opening, said slide arrester extending outwardly from said outside wall of said surface sufficiently far enough to restrict movement of said bag retainer. 
   
   
       2 . The waste container of  claim 1  wherein said bag retainer is conforming in shape and size to said second opening. 
   
   
       3 . The waste container of  claim 1  wherein said bag reservoir forms a defined space between said bottom portion and said top of said bag container. 
   
   
       4 . The waste container of  claim 1  wherein said side wall has a plurality of venting holes therethrough. 
   
   
       5 . The waste container of  claim 1  wherein said retaining ring is of sufficient size to permit said retaining ring to slide on the outside of said surface from said second opening toward said first opening. 
   
   
       6 . The waste container of  claim 1  wherein said slide arrester is located proximate said second opening. 
   
   
       7 . The waste container of  claim 6  wherein said slide arrester extends sufficiently outwardly from said surface to prevent said bag retainer from sliding beyond said arrester toward said bottom portion. 
   
   
       8 . A waste container comprising:
 a. A wall formed from a continuous sheet of semi-rigid material having an inner surface and an outer surface forming a first opening and a second opening;   b. A bottom portion conforming to the shape of said first opening and sealingly attached to said wall thereby closing said first opening;   c. A bag retainer slidably located in said waste container, said bag retainer comprising a top having an opening therethrough and a skirt extending from said top forming a void space below said top;   d. A bag retaining ring comprising rigid material which conforms to the shape of said second opening in said wall; and   e. A slide arrester formed in the outer surface of said wall proximate said second opening.   
   
   
       9 . The waste container of  claim 8  wherein said wall has a plurality of venting perforations therethrough. 
   
   
       10 . The waste container of  claim 8  wherein said bag retainer has a hole through said top thereof having sufficient dimension to allow passage of a waste bag therethrough. 
   
   
       11 . The waste container of  claim 8  wherein said slide arrester extends sufficiently outwardly from said wall to prevent said bag retainer from sliding along said wall away from proximity to said second opening. 
   
   
       12 . A bag retaining ring comprising semi rigid material having a substantially rectangular shape with rounded corners and dimensions sufficient to fit around the outside of a waste container of similar shape for the purpose of trapping a garbage or waste bag between said retaining ring and said waste container. 
   
   
       13 . A garbage or waste bag retainer comprising semi rigid material having substantially the same shape as a waste container having a single opening on the top thereof, an outwardly extending lip which fits congruently said opening and a skirt extending downwardly through said opening into said container. 
   
   
       14 . The combination of garbage or waste bag retainer and said waste container of  claim 13  whose purpose is to trap a garbage or waste bag between said retainer and said waste container to prevent said garbage bag from slipping down inside said waste container. 
   
   
       15 . The waste container of  claim 13  having perforations through the side thereof to allow the expulsion of air from between said container and said garbage or waste bag.
