A waste container with a universal waste bag cartridge is disclosed having multiple lids and an odor controlling mechanism built into one of the lid assemblies, which prevents odors from within the internal waste bag from passing to the outside.

A waste container having an internal waste bag is disclosed having multiple lids and an odor controlling mechanism with planar sheets built into one of the lid assemblies, which prevents odors from within the internal waste bag from passing to the outside.

The present invention provides a waste receptacle comprising an outer bag having a flexible construction forming an opening at a top side and at least a pair of upper straps capable a third strap for retaining peripheral items, of attaching the receptacle to a rail, a lid attached at a top of bag to close the opening. The receptacle having an inner bag having a backbone circumferentially disposed around the inner bag to help maintain the inner bag in a generally cylindrical shape, the inner bag insertable through the opening of the outer bag and a pull string to disposed at the top of the inner bag being capable to cinch the top of the inner bag closed and a buoyant float member disposed in the outer bag.

A trash bin having parts optimized for partial or full automated assembly. Components are fabricated of materials that are easily manipulated by factory automation equipment as well as those that may be selectively deformed during the assembly or installation process. Elastic or deformable characteristics also facilitate the retention of assembled or installed parts. A barbed element deforms during installation into a received aperture, then returns to a relaxed state in which one or more barbs inhibit the dislocation of the element from the aperture. A post having an aperture for receiving an axle therein is formed of resilient materials such that the post flexes outward under the urging of the axle until the axle is aligned with the aperture, at which point the post resumes a neutral position with the axle engaged in the aperture. Interfaces between components are selected in order to simplify the mechanical mating of components.

Waste container lid assemblies configured for attachment to a base having a lid body and cap portion slidalby connected by a tether. The lid body having an opening sized to accept medical waste and restrict access to prevent individuals from reaching into the waste container through the opening. A slot is in the lid body to permit slidable movement of the tether through the slot such the cap can be moved from a resting position in which the opening is configured for receiving waste to a closed position such that the cap portion covers the opening.

A lid for a storage receptacle includes a substantially planar top panel including a plurality of openings, a substantially planar slideable closure having a plurality of closure portions capable of closing each of the plurality of openings in the top panel, and a plurality of accessible portions capable of allowing access through each of the plurality of openings in the top panel. The lid further includes a guide mechanism capable of guiding the slideable closure between a first position and a second position, and an activation mechanism capable of receiving an input to move the slideable closure between one of the first position and the second position along the guide mechanism.

A waste device including a container having a bottom and a circumferential wall, wherein the container has a container-opening on the end remote from the bottom and closing means positioned near the container opening for substantially closing the container opening in such a way that odor release is prevented. The closing means includes a drum housing and a drum body being pivotable between an insertion position wherein refuse is placeable in a transport container, and a transit position wherein the transport container is aligned with the drum opening. The waste device further including a flexible sealing member having a connection part that is located radially outwards, and that is connected to the drum housing, and having a sealing part that extends radially inward from the connection part and which may be brought into sealingly contact with the external surface of the drum body for sealing the container opening in a substantially odor-free manner.

A feminine product dispensing assembly for containing and dispensing feminine products includes a canister structured to insertably receive a used feminine product. A pair of dispensers is each coupled to the canister. The dispensers are structured to dispense a new feminine product. A first lid is coupled to the canister. The first lid has an aperture extending therethrough. The used feminine product is insertable through the aperture. A second lid is coupled to the canister. The second lid closes the canister.

Waste container includes a base defining a waste-receiving compartment, and an insert supported on the base and engaging a peripheral edge of a bag that extends into the compartment while maintaining an opening of the bag unobstructed. A movable closure component has a first engagement position in which it engages with the insert to press the bag against a bag-engagement edge of the insert, and a second non-engagement position in which it is separated from the bag-engagement edge. A lid is attached to the base and includes a waste treatment component having a base defining a compartment receivable of a waste treatment material and including apertures communicating with the compartment. A member is attached and rotatable relative to the base to selectively align apertures of the member with the apertures of the base to enable dispersion of the waste treatment material from the compartment.

Waste container lid assemblies configured for attachment to a base having a lid body and cap portion slidably connected by a tether. The lid body having an opening sized to accept medical waste and restrict access to prevent individuals from reaching into the waste container through the opening. A slot is in the lid body to permit slidable movement of the tether through the slot such the cap can be moved from a resting position in which the opening is configured for receiving waste to a closed position such that the cap portion covers the opening.
