Abstract
A waste disposal container of smaller shipping profile is disclosed with an inner rotating support structure and an outer casing, where the inner rotating support structure and/or the outer casing may be shipped in separable parts and reassembled by the end consumer. The inner rotating support structure also may offer at least one bag attachment points to hold on to the body of the bag where the bag attachment points are designed to be lower to accommodate collection of cat litter.
Claims20
A waste disposal container, said container comprising:
- a base having a rotating plate capable of a rotational movement relative to the base;
- an actuator to control said rotational movement of the rotating plate;
- an outer casing coupled to the base;
- a top lid coupled to the outer casing;
- a support coupled to the rotating plate and is disposed interior to the outer casing;
- wherein the rotational movement of the rotating plate causes the support to rotate simultaneously;
- at least one catch coupled to the support to detachably attach to a disposable bag;
- a frame assembly coupled to the outer casing and disposed above the support, wherein the frame assembly comprises a roller base and a bag roller;
- wherein the bag roller is rotatable both clock-wise and counter clock-wise relative to the roller base;
- wherein a movement of the top lid is independent of the rotational movement of the rotating plate;
- and
- wherein the at least one catch is disposed at a height no taller than 60% of a height of the outer casing.
