Abstract
The invention is directed to a bag tightening trash can. Upon placing a fresh trash bag in the trash can, the user may press a button on the side surface, which activates a battery-powered suction fan in the bottom of the trash can for a short, predetermined period, such as 5 seconds. The suction fan gently draws the sides of the trash bag outward, tightening it against the interior surfaces of the trash can and fully expanding it. A simple grate separates the trash bag from the suction fan, which expels air through a vent at the lower end of the rear surface. The suction fan automatically shuts off to conserve battery power. All of the internal components are preferably waterproof and easily cleaned.
