A used paper diaper processing apparatus includes at an upper portion of a processing tank, a plurality of holding units capable of holding used paper diapers, and a continuous put-into unit including a holding unit rotation drive unit that rotationally drives each of the holding units at a put-into position I above an opening connected to the processing tank and a standby position II other than the put-into position. When the holding unit is rotated by the holding unit rotation drive unit and positioned at the put-into position, the used paper diaper held by the holding unit is put into the processing tank from the opening.

A cassette to dispense a pleated tubing. The cassette includes a circular body having an annular channel housing with a central cylindrical core. At least one wall has an upper end with a lip disposed thereon. An annular cover is attached to the lip at the upper end defining a gap over the annular body. A tubing is disposed within the annular channel housing and withdrawn from the gap. At least one of a plurality of apertures is provided at a lower end of the annular channel housing. The apertures have reinforced walls. The apertures are adapted to be aligned with a projection extending upward from within a container.

A diaper pail incorporating a refrigerated compartment is described herein, wherein the interior of the compartment can be cooled to low temperatures, typically less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit, to hinder and/or substantially slow the generation of noxious odors. Additionally, the diaper pail freezer includes a double lid with a bag retaining system to help ensure a good seal is maintained between the lid and the top of the pail to help contain any residual odors within the compartment.

A flexible bag assembly having at least one layer of a flexible material that permits a UV light source to penetrate through to sterilize bacterial contents on an interior of the flexible bag assembly. Transmission of the UV light source is maximized through the flexible material and to enhance a kill rate of bacteria within the interior of the flexible bag assembly. A bio-assimilator may be integrated into a composition of the flexible bag assembly to facilitate biodegradation by anaerobic degradation leaving no microplastic remnants.

A waste pail having a manual actuator to indirectly turn a rotator, both of which are enclosed in a lid casing. The rotator rotates the inner collar of the waste pail, and the inner collar is attached to the top rim of a trash bag. A user may twist the trash bag open only when the lid casing is closed, thereby preventing the escape of odor from within the trash bag.

A disposable baby changing pad system includes a changing pad body extending from a top end to a bottom end and being composed of a thin, flexible material, the changing pad body further having a pocket formed on a top surface of the changing pad body, the pocket having a top layer sealing an interior area of the pocket; an opening extending into the interior area from the top layer; one or more wipes sealed within the pocket; and a diaper positioned on the top surface of the changing pad body; the changing pad body folds around the pocket and the diaper.

Closure component for securing a bag to a support in a container includes an annular portion including an upper wall, and inner and outer circumferential walls extending downward from an inner and outer edge region of the upper wall, respectively. A channel is defined on an underside of the annular portion by the inner, outer and upper walls. A pinch is on the inner or outer wall and includes a pair of slots extending upward from a lower edge of that wall and which are spaced apart from one another to enable a solid portion of that wall to temporarily flex outward relative to the channel. The upper wall includes an opening above each pinch. An optional extension portion extends radially outward from the outer wall and engages with attachment structure. The closure component is pivotable relative to the support via engagement of the extension portion with the attachment structure.

A cassette for use in dispensing a pleated tubing within a waste container. The cassette including an annular body having a generally U shaped housing with a central cylindrical core. An annular cover extends inward over the annular body defining a gap. The cover is secured to the body and at least one elongated boss is disposed on an outer surface of the cassette. The elongated boss extends is adapted to receive a key element capable of rotating, or preventing rotation of the cassette.

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.

A hand-operated container is provided that allows a user to place refuse or used diapers within the interior of the container while operating the lid thereof using a hand-operated lift mechanism. The handle of the lift mechanism is disposed along the upper half of the sidewall of the receptacle, thereby allowing a seated user to engage the handle. Within the interior of the receptacle may be a set of biased doors that engage a receptacle liner therein, which are used maintain the liner in a closed state while the liner retains refuse within its interior. Along the sidewall of the receptacle may further comprise an access door used to remove filled liners, whereby the liners may be withdrawn from a continuous liner cartridge above the biased doors and separated using a cutting element disposed along the interior of the access door.
