A sealing mechanism for a waste storage container includes a waste storage container that has a body, a lid and a cartridge adapted to be positioned in the body. The cartridge has a continuous length of storage film therein. The storage film emanates through a gap between a rim and a core tube of the cartridge and is folded down through a core opening in the core tube into an interior space of the body of the waste storage container. The sealing mechanism includes an actuator accessible from outside the body, a gear assembly operably connected to the actuator, a retaining assembly that holds stationary a dispensed portion of the storage film in the interior space of the body during a twist-closure operation, and a plunger operably connected to the gear assembly

The invention relates to a modular assembly for regulating moisture and temperature of content of a container, and the method associated thereof. The system comprises a moisture and temperature regulating device, said device comprises a condenser and an evaporator separated by a heat insulation layer; a container with moist content, the container and the moisture and temperature regulating device joinable by coupling means, wherein when the moisture and temperature regulating device and the container are coupled together, moisture and temperature associated with the container are regulated by the moisture and temperature regulating device.

The present application includes a trash can assembly having a container configured to hold a trash bag. The container includes a door assembly in communication with one or more walls of a container. The door assembly includes an opening to permit the passage of a collection of trash bags. The assembly also includes a defined internal compartment to house and protect the trash bags within the container. The compartment may include a slot for withdrawal of a trash bag internally or may be sealed with a slot in the door for external withdrawal.

Metal tableware articles are separated from trash as the trash is deposited into a trash container through a removable cover having brackets supporting a shaft of a magnetic bar assembly for rotation on a horizontal axis. The shaft is rotated from outside the cover by an axially movable rotatable pin having a knob on its outer end and extending through the side wall of the cover for releasably engaging one end of the shaft. When the knob and pin are retracted axially, the bar assembly may be lowered from the cover for cleaning. The bar assembly has axially spaced magnetic plate units each having a pair of generally triangular metal plates with flat corner surfaces and with a panel of magnetic material of the same shape sandwiched between the plates. The bar assembly is spaced above the bottom surface of the cover for protection of the bar assembly.

The basket has a bottom (1) and an upstanding side wall (2) provided with ventilation openings (3). It is composed of two identical halves (4, 5) which are arranged to be mounted onto one another to form the basket. Each of the basket halves (4, 5) comprises a bottom portion, forming one half of the bottom (1) of the basket, and a side wall portion, forming one half of the side wall (2) of the basket. The bottom (1) of the basket is a closed bottom but a seam (10) is present between the two bottom portions. Liquid is prevented from leaking out of the basket through this seam (10) due to the fact that the bottom portions drain from said seam (10) towards the side wall (2) of the basket.

The present invention generally relates to locking devices for waste containers, particularly residential or commercial waste containers. The present invention also relates to a waste container having a locking device which keeps the container closed when a sudden jerking or jarring, such as ground impact, is applied on the container, but allows the container to be opened during the dumping or tipping process. The locking device contains an impact detecting paddle or rolling member to provide a mechanical impact sensor that can detect whether the container has been unintendedly tipped over in the forward direction or whether it is being tipped over, such as for dumping.

A bear-resistant waste disposal container comprises a bin, a handle, and a lid rotatably connected to the handle. A bin collar surrounds an upper perimeter of the bin, and a lid collar surrounds an outer perimeter of the lid. A picket extends upwardly from inside the bin, through an aperture in the lid, and through an aperture in a lid frame. A carabiner or other locking device is removably insertable through an opening in the upper portion of the picket to lock the lid in a closed position.

The present invention generally relates to waste containers and, more particularly, relates to a safety locking device for waste containers. The locking device contains a base unit and a pivoting unit pivotally mounted to the base unit. The base unit contains a pinion member, having a cam thereon, non-movably attached to the base member. The pivoting unit includes a lock casing defining a cavity which houses a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism contains a locking member which is pivotally movable between a blocking position to prevent relative movement between the pivoting unit and the base unit, and a release position to permit the relative movement between the pivoting unit and the base unit.

A suction based trashcan receptacle includes a bottom receptacle body having one or more openings extending at least partially through a thickness of the bottom receptacle body; a top receptacle body to engage with the top open end of the bottom receptacle body; the top receptacle body slides relative to the bottom receptacle body to move from a collapsed position to an extended position; one or more handles having a tension device to allow for the one or more handles to pivot, the one or more handles being secured to the top receptacle; and the one or more handles each having a protrusion to engage with the one or more openings of the bottom receptacle body to secure the top receptacle in the extended position; sliding the top receptacle body to the extended position aids in removing a bag of trash from the trashcan receptacle.
