Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates to an improved structure of trashcan,
and more particularly, to an improved structure of trashcan that is
more sanitary, speedy, convenient for storage, and handy to change
trash bags as compare with the trashcans of the prior art.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] FIG. 1 is an isometric outward appearance of the trashcan of
the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional trashcan
structures are simply container structures having various kind of
shape. To meet the sanitary requirements, the user mostly lays a
plastic bag (4) in the trashcan (5). The user will change a new
plastic bag with its top peripheral pull over the edge of the
trashcan and draw down to keep the bag in place when the previous
plastic bag is full of trash and removed. However, the new bag
often becomes loose and slips back into the trashcan. In addition,
the spare roll of bag is separated from the trashcan and is often
hard to find when it comes to changing a new bag.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] In light of the above-mentioned demerits of the conventional
trashcan, the invention aims to ameliorate at least some of the
disadvantages of the prior art or to provide a useful
alternative.
[0006] The primary objective of the invention is to provide an
improved structure of trashcan that is furnished a fastening part
inside and at the bottom thereof with a bearing seat, which has a
roll of trash bag placed therein, slipped therein. The roll of
trash bag has a plurality of trash bags connected by scribe lines
to be torn in order to have a new bag after a previous trash bag
full of trash is removed. In this way, the invention is capable of
accomplishing a sanitary and speedy trashcan structure that is
convenient to store spare bags and to change a new bag after the
used trash bag is full of trash and removed.
[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the invention
provides an improved structure of trashcan that includes a main
body, a bearing seat, and a slipped-on cap. The main body being a
container with chopped-head-cone in shape furnishes a plurality of
recess portions at equal spaces at the bottom edge thereof and a
fastening part inside and at the bottom thereof. The fastening part
further includes an opening, a first flange, a second flange, and a
sliding track. A neck part being formed at the top open end of the
container has a plurality of perforations. The bearing seat, being
a member capable of slipping in a roll of trash bag further
includes a first wrapping part, a second wrapping part, a slot
part, a first supporting end, and a second supporting end. The
slipped-on cap being a wrapping member is capable of slipping on
the neck part. When it comes to use, the user slips a roll of trash
bag into the bearing seat, then places the bearing seat into the
bottom of the main body through the opening of the fastening part,
and turn an appropriate angle horizontally to position the bearing
seat in place. Afterwards, the user pulls the leading edge of the
roll of trash bag at an appropriate length through the slot part up
to the top edge of the neck part and draws down over the peripheral
thereof to hold the leading edge of the trash bag in place by
inserting through the perforation of the neck part. Finally, the
user has the slipped-on cap cover the top of the main body by
slipping thereon and in the same time squeezing the pull-through
ends of the trash bag to hold the trash bag firmly in place. In
this way, the invention is capable of accomplishing a sanitary and
speedy trashcan structure that is convenient to store spare bags
and change a new bag after the used trash bag is full of trash.
