A container with a moulded bag dispenser and a moulded bag sealer is disclosed. The bag sealer includes a roll of adhesive tape and a rotatable star wheel having a number of radial recesses at equal angular distances for receiving an article to be bound with tape, and a peripheral surface.

Disclosed herein is a waste storage device (100) comprising a receiving chamber (132) provided in an upper part of the device (100) and a rotator (136) rotatably mounted in the chamber (132). The rotator (136) comprises an upper annulus (154), and a cylindrical wall (150) extending downwardly from the upper annulus (154). The rotator (136) comprises at least one projection (151) extending therefrom, said at least one projection (151) being arranged to locate with at least one corresponding recess (171) on a waste storage cassette (172) to support the waste storage cassette (172) in the chamber (132) and to ensure rotational engagement between the rotator (136) and the cassette (172).

A trash container having an automated trash bag dispensing system which automatically deploys a replacement trash bag upon removal of a filled bag. A supply of trash bags is fed into the main trash container by a motorized roller assembly. A pair of opposing suction pads are pivotally deployed inward and suction activation attracts the opposing sides of the bag to corresponding suction pads. Retraction of the suction pads functions to expand the bag to an open configuration whereby it is suitably configured to receive trash.

A trashcan automatically opens and closes a trashcan lid and prevents offensive odor due to UV (ultraviolet) disinfection. The trashcan includes a case whose upper face is openable; a lid coupled to the case to be opened and closed and to seal the trashcan, and a sterilizer on the lid generating ultraviolet rays and ozone toward the trashcan for sterilization and deodorization. An opening and closing unit automatically opens and closes the lid by sensing user access. A microcomputer controls operation of the UV sterilization lamp at regular intervals when the lid is closed and the opening and closing unit. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent offensive odor from being caused by sterilizing and deodorizing the inside of the trashcan, and it is convenient for users to discard waste or dirt into the trashcan by automatically opening the trashcan lid for a certain time according to the user access.

A cutting device (200) includes a receiver (404) and a translating head (403). The receiver includes a mounting plate (407) with a first fastener delivery device (307) and a second fastener delivery device (308) coupled thereto. A first gatherer (410) and a second gatherer (411) each extend distally from the mounting plate between the first fastener delivery device and the second fastener delivery device. A cutter (416) extends distally from the mounting plate between the first gatherer and the second gatherer. The translating head includes a complementary cutter (425) to engage the cutter to impart a scissor cutting action as the translating head translates toward the receiver. The translating head can also optionally include a third gatherer (423), a fourth gatherer (424), a first bender (421), and a second bender (422) as well.

A pail facilitating ease of use having a pivotable removal bin. A retention structure pivots about a single axis, the retention structure having two sections that create an overlapping pinch about an upper surface in a first position and a lower surface in a second position. A cutter is located proximal the upper end of the removal bin.

The invention relates to a waste deposition device (1), comprising an annular holder (2) for a cassette (3) with a plastic hose (15). The waste deposition device (1) furthermore multiple mounting positions (A1 . . . A3) for arbitrarily and in particular removably mounting at least one tying and/or cutting device (4) for holding the hose (15) when knotting the same and/or for cutting the hose (15). Alternatively, multiple tying and/or devices (4) having said function may be permanent parts of the waste deposition device (1) at different positions (A1 . . . A3).

A method for sealing refuse in a sealed chamber. The method includes providing an opening to deposit refuse into a chamber formed of a material that is partially sealed, identifying when refuse is deposited into the partially sealed chamber, activating a sealing assembly after refuse is deposited into the chamber to seal the refuse in the chamber defined by the material, executing a cutting procedure to separate the sealed chamber from the remaining material, the cutting procedure creating a second chamber being formed by partially sealed material, and drawing a length of the material from a reservoir containing tubular shirred material with an extraction assembly.

A cutting device (200) includes a receiver (404) and a translating head (403). The receiver includes a mounting plate (407) with a first fastener delivery device (307) and a second fastener delivery device (308) coupled thereto. A first gatherer (410) and a second gatherer (411) each extend distally from the mounting plate between the first fastener delivery device and the second fastener delivery device. A cutter (416) extends distally from the mounting plate between the first gatherer and the second gatherer. The translating head includes a complementary cutter (425) to engage the cutter to impart a scissor cutting action as the translating head translates toward the receiver. The translating head can also optionally include a third gatherer (423), a fourth gatherer (424), a first bender (421), and a second bender (422) as well.
