Abstract
A refuse bin includes a frame defining an interior cavity and a seating structure. A bin liner has a biasing surface that rotationally engages the seating structure to define a recessed first position characterized by the bin liner set within the interior cavity. An elevated second position is characterized by the bin liner being vertically offset from the frame. The first position is vertically and rotationally distal from the second position. A bag retaining mechanism is defined between the frame and the bin liner. The first position defines a secured state of the bag retaining mechanism and the second position defines a maintenance state of the bag retaining mechanism.
Claims19
A refuse bin comprising:
- a frame defining an interior cavity and a seating structure;
- a bin liner having a biasing surface that rotationally engages the seating structure to define a recessed first position characterized by the bin liner set within the interior cavity, and an elevated second position characterized by the bin liner being vertically offset from the frame, the first position being vertically and rotationally distal from the second position, the biasing surface and the seating structure adapted to vertically translate the bin liner between the recessed first position and the elevated second position in response to a rotational movement of the bin liner relative to the frame;
- and
- a bag retaining mechanism defined between the frame and the bin liner, wherein the first position defines a secured state of the bag retaining mechanism and the second position defines a maintenance state of the bag retaining mechanism.
A refuse bin comprising:
- a bin liner rotationally operable relative to a seating structure to define first and second positions of the bin liner, the second position being rotationally distal from the first position;
- and
- a bag retaining mechanism wherein the first position defines a secured state of the bag retaining mechanism adapted to secure the bin liner to a portion of the bag retaining mechanism and wherein the second position defines a maintenance state of the bag retaining mechanism adapted to separate the bin liner from the portion of the bag retaining mechanism, wherein the seating structure is adapted to vertically translate the bin liner between the secured state and the maintenance state during rotational operation of the bin liner.
A refuse bin comprising:
- a bin liner selectively engaged with a seating structure and rotationally operable relative to the seating structure between first and second positions, the second position being rotationally and vertically distal from the first position, wherein the second position is adapted to define a separation of the bin liner from a portion of a bag retaining mechanism, wherein the seating structure is adapted to generate vertical movement of the bin liner between the first and second positions.
