Abstract
A waste receptacle has an outer cabinet housing and a waste or trash bag support frame that can be moved from a position where it is at least partially within the cabinet, to a position where the support frame is extended sufficiently so it can be rotated about an upright axis to provide access to a bag held on the support frame. The support frame has an open ring on which a waste bag can be placed. The ring is spaced upwardly from the bottom of the bag support frame so that when the waste bag is full, it can be detached from the ring and dropped down for removal, rather than being lifted up through a container opening or support. The waste receptacle can have a cover that can be actuated to move from a closed position overlying the bag support frame to an open position.
Claims27
A waste receptacle comprising a cabinet having an open front;
- a waste bag support frame having a front wall that terminates to form a rear opening, and sized to fit at least partially within the cabinet when in a first retracted position;
- a frame support for mounting the waste bag support frame relative to the cabinet, including a linear slide on the cabinet for linearly movably mounting the waste bag support frame relative to the cabinet, and a rotatable support mounted on the linear slide and supporting the waste bag support frame for rotatable movement;
- a ring attached to the front wall of the waste bag support frame and having a portion extending rearwardly of the front wall of the waste bag support frame and spaced upwardly from a lower end of the waste bag support frame to provide space for a waste bag below the ring and above the lower end of the waste bag support frame accessible through the rear opening of the waste bag support frame, the ring being adapted to support an upper end of a waste bag with such a waste bag in the space, and the waste bag support frame being linearly movable with the linear slide to a second position where the waste bag support frame is extending from the cabinet and the waste bag support frame is rotatable on the rotatable support to place the ring and a waste bag supported thereon to an exterior of the cabinet to provide access when rotated in the second position to the rear opening of the waste bag support frame for removal of a waste bag below the ring.
A waste receptacle comprising a cabinet, a bag support frame movable from a first position wherein a portion of the bag support frame is within the cabinet, to a second position wherein the bag support frame extends from the cabinet, the bag support frame being rotatable about an upright axis relative to the cabinet in the second position, said bag support frame having a frame bottom, and a front upright wall supported on the frame bottom, a ring mounted on the front upright wall spaced above the frame bottom to permit a waste bag to be supported on the ring and extend downwardly toward the frame bottom, the bag support frame being unobstructed below the ring and above the frame bottom in a direction away from the front wall to permit removal of a filled waste bag under the ring, said bag support frame and front upright wall being movable outwardly from the cabinet to the second position, and in the second position a waste bag supported on the ring being substantially on an exterior of the cabinet and such a waste bag being removable through a space below the ring and above the frame bottom in a direction away from the front wall.
A waste receptacle comprising a waste bag holding frame having an upright wall with an upper end and a lower end, a wall support joined to the lower end of the upright wall and extending laterally therefrom to support the upright wall;
- a peripheral ring attached to the upper end of the upright wall and extending laterally of the upright wall and spaced upwardly from and at least partially overlying the wall support to provide space between the ring and the wall support for a waste bag, the upright wall configured to support the peripheral ring along a part of a periphery of the peripheral ring only and to leave an unobstructed opening below the peripheral ring opposite from the upright wall, the ring being adapted to support an open upper end of a waste bag that depends from the ring, and the wall support being mounted on support members to permit linear and rotational movement of the waste bag holding frame and the upright wall to provide access to the unobstructed opening for removal of a waste bag below the peripheral ring through the unobstructed opening.
