A machine for compacting, packaging and disposal of materials, comprising:
- A. a frame defining said machine with an upper end, side end and lower end;
- said frame upper end having an inlet opening, whereby allowing introduction of material into said machine;
- said frame having an outlet opening in said side end near said lower end, whereby allowing disposal of material out of said machine;
- said frame having horizontal slot in said side end;
- B. a static container rigidly attached to said frame upper end;
- said static container having an inlet opening in upper end and an outlet opening in lower end of said static container, whereby allowing material flow downwards from frame inlet opening into said static container and out of said static container;
- C. a cover for closing said outlet opening of said static container;
- said cover of said static container pivotably hinged to said static container, whereby said cover swings like a door to close and open said outlet opening;
- D. a spring member urging said cover to a closed position, whereby preventing material flow out of said static container;
- E. a pressurized fluid actuation means for turning said cover to uncover said material outlet opening in said static container, whereby allowing material flow downwards;
- F. a dynamic container mounted below said static container, whereby material flowing down from said static container material outlet opening is collected within said dynamic container;
- G. multiple guiding members to control said dynamic container reciprocal up and down motion relative to said static container;
- said static container being closely surrounded within said dynamic container at the utmost of said upper motion of said dynamic container, whereby cooperating with said dynamic container to compact material within said dynamic container, whereby material is sandwiched between said dynamic container and lower end of said static container during upward motion of said dynamic container;
- said dynamic container having an outlet opening at the lower end of said dynamic container, whereby allowing compacted material flow downwards out of said dynamic container;
- H. an outlet cover for closing said outlet opening of said dynamic container;
- said outlet cover of said dynamic container pivotably hinged to said dynamic container, whereby said outlet cover swings like a door to close and open said material outlet opening;
- I. a spring member urging said outlet cover to a closed position, whereby preventing material flow out of said dynamic container;
- J. a pressurized fluid actuation means for swinging said outlet cover to uncover said opening in said dynamic container whereby allowing material flow downwards;
- K. an actuation means to reciprocate said dynamic compacting container up and down relative to said static container;
- said actuation means consists of dual scissors parallelogram mechanism with a pressurized fluid actuation means hinged between lower scissors and upper scissors members, whereby when pressurized, said actuation means urge said scissors members to change angularity between said scissors members resulting with forced motion of said scissors members to reciprocate said dynamic container;
- L. a packaging bag means consists of a rigid frame with hollow center and with handling means;
- a plastic containing means attached to said rigid frame;
- and a rigid centerpiece having nearly the size of the bottom of said dynamic container and attached to the center of said plastic containing means;
- whereby said plastic containing means and rigid centerpiece are pre-packed into said rigid frame hollow center before inserted into said machine, and said rigid centerpiece of said packaging bag means is being pushed down to seat on the bottom of said dynamic container when said dynamic container moves relative to said static container during compacting operation;
- M. a packaging bag holding means with horizontal loading slots, attached to said dynamic container upper open end;
- whereby said rigid frame of said packaging bag means is inserted from outside the machine through said horizontal slot in said frame side end and into said horizontal loading slots in said packaging bag holding means, such that said rigid frame of said packaging bag means is supported inside said horizontal loading slots to said dynamic container, and said centerpiece of said packaging bag means is supported on the bottom of said dynamic container, with the plastic containing means of said packaging bag means being held open and ready to collect material;
- N. a packaging bag sealing means, attached to said dynamic container upper open end below said packaging bag holding means, comprising:
- N1. a pair of parallel moveable members horizontally guided such that they move towards each other and then away from each other, whereby said parallel moveable members slide towards each other to create a seal in the plastic containing means;
- N2. a pair of heating element strips attached to each said parallel moveable member, whereby producing heat when energized with electrical power, for locally heating said packaging bag means along line of contact of said parallel members, for sealing said packaging bag means, and for cutting said packaging bag means above the seal line and separate the sealed plastic containing means from said rigid frame of said packaging bag means;
- N3. a pressurized fluid actuation means for linearly moving said parallel moveable members towards each other and then away from each other.
