Waste container includes a base defining a waste-receiving compartment, and an insert supported on the base and adapted to engage a peripheral edge of a bag that extends into the compartment while maintaining an opening of the bag unobstructed. The insert has at least one bag-engagement edge. A movable closure component has a first engagement position in which the closure component engages with the insert to press the bag when present against the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert, and a second non-engagement position in which the closure component is separated from the bag-engagement edge(s) of the insert. A lid is attached to the base and movable between a first, closed position covering the opening of the bag and a second, open position in which it does not obstruct the opening of the bag.

A device (1) for placing and holding soiled items, in particular soiled items such as soiled diapers, therein, comprising a container (2) and a lid (3), wherein the lid (3) includes a hollow cylinder (5), which is open at least at one end (4), in which cylinder (5) a body (6) is capable of reciprocal motion, wherein the lid (3) can pivot relative to the container (2) between a first position, in which an Item can be inserted into the cylinder (5) from outside; and a second position, in which the body (6) can move downward in the cylinder (5) under the influence of the force of gravity so as to push the item into the container (2), and wherein the device (1) is provided with a locking device (12) for locking the lid (3) in the second position.

The present invention provides a trashcan or wastebasket that has lights and sounds simulating a fire that are activated when trash is thrown inside or on the verge of being thrown inside. One particular activation method consists of sensors housed at the top of the trashcan that detect when trash is thrown in. Once the trash is detected, the walls of the trashcan light up and flicker with an orange color like a fire and crackling fire sounds play. The lights and sounds play for a short interval and then stop until trash is detected again.

A top loading refuse distributing and compacting device for mounting above or in the top of a refuse collection container is operable to receive, compact and distribute refuse collected with the container. The device includes a pivotal handling member, which is pivotal between a leftward and rightward guiding position, in which left and right opposed inclined surfaces of the handling member alternatingly guide refuse into the right and left side of the container such as to distribute it evenly over said sides, while with the other surface compacting refuse already present in the container. The handling member includes a weight sensor. The device may be operated based on the signals of weight sensor and preferably other sensors, for instance to indicate a living organism being received. The handling member may be one single unit, combining the functions of weighing, distributing and compacting.

A blade tip, and a tool combination having a blade tip, for an agricultural soil cultivation machine. The blade tip has a base part including a cutter, a cutter carrier, a guiding element and a receptacle for fastening the blade tip to a tine of the agricultural soil cultivation machine. The base part has a receptacle covered by covering portion. The guiding element has a plug attachment held in the receptacle, and a form-fitting connection preventing movement of the guiding element out of the receptacle, provided between the blade tip and the guiding element.
