Abstract
A disposal device insertable into a paper roll is disclosed. The disposal device includes a cylindrical shell receptacle, a cap cover, and a clearing mechanism, adapted for removing objects from the receptacle. The clearing mechanism includes a lateral member, adapted to collect objects from the receptacle and a longitudinal member, implemented for conveying a physical force for the translation of the lateral member or serves as an actuator for the commencement of the translation.
Claims13
A disposal device insertable into a paper roll, said disposal device comprising:
- (a) a cylindrical shell receptacle, said receptacle comprises:
- (i) a cylindrical wall, said cylindrical wall defines an interior lumen of said receptacle that is adapted to receive disposal objects;
- (ii) a bottom cover, said bottom cover comprises an exterior circumferential ridge extending outwardly from said cylindrical wall;
- wherein a diameter of said circumferential ridge is larger than a diameter of an interior aperture of said paper roll, whereby said circumferential ridge acts as a mechanical stopper;
- (b) a cap cover, said cap cover comprises:
- (i) an exterior circumferential ridge extending outwardly from said cap cover;
- wherein a diameter of said circumferential ridge is larger than said diameter of said interior aperture of said paper roll, whereby said circumferential ridge acts as a mechanical stopper;
- (ii) at least one structural element adapted for purposefully opening said cover;
- (c) a clearing mechanism adapted for removing said disposal objects from said interior lumen of said receptacle, said clearing mechanism comprises:
- (i) a lateral member adapted to collect said disposal objects substantially across an entire cross-section of said receptacle;
- (ii) a longitudinal member, said longitudinal member is implemented for at least conveying a physical force for translation of said lateral member;
- said disposal device is characterized by that:
- (d) said longitudinal member of said clearing mechanism assumes an empty conformation, while said receptacle is empty, and
- (e) said longitudinal member of said clearing mechanism assumes a filled conformation while said receptacle contains said disposal objects;
- (f) said clearing mechanism is a pulling mechanism wherein said rod is disposed internally to said receptacle;
- (g) wherein in said filled conformation, while said receptacle contains said disposal objects, said longitudinal member does not protrude from said disposal device
- (h) wherein said longitudinal member of said clearing mechanism in said filled conformation is displaced sidewise, towards said cylindrical wall of said receptacle.
