Definitions

  • the field of the disclosure is bag enclosures, more specifically, bags for waste containers such as diaper pails.
  • the receiving structure is a locking notch, which can be located on various parts of the collar.
  • the notch can be a cutout that serves as a catch to hook around a twisted neck of the bag or around another part of the bag. In operation, the user would remove the bag from the waste container, fold the collar, and then use the locking notch to keep the bag in a twisted closed configuration.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of the disposable bag having the foldable collar tilted 90 degrees in order to reveal the circular mouth opening of the bag.
  • Fig. 2 is a top angled perspective view of one embodiment of the foldable collar without showing the enclosure body.
  • Fig. 3 is a top angled perspective view of another embodiment of the foldable collar without showing the enclosure body.
  • Fig. 6 is a top perspective view of a diaper pail showing a top for receiving the contemplated foldable collars.
  • Fig. 7 is a top perspective view of a diaper pail with one embodiment of the disposable bag installed and a twisted neck visible.

  • Fig. 14B is an illustration of a locking notch having an L-shaped structure.
  • Fig. 17 shows a disposable bag having a collar without any folding lines because the collar can fit through a slot opening in the top of the waste container without having to bend or fold the collar.
  • a contemplated disposable bag 100 having an enclosure body 180 with an internal space for holding trash, used diapers, and any other garbage.
  • the bag 100 can have a neck portion 189 coupled to the body portion, and the neck portion acts as a conduit between the opening 110 (i.e., a mouth) and the internal space of the body portion 180.
  • the neck portion 189 does not necessarily have to be narrower than the body portion 180.
  • the neck portion 189 simply signifies a section of the bag 100 that is generally located below the opening 110 and above the body portion 180.
  • the purpose of the foldable collar 120 is to act as a coupler, so that the disposable bag
  • an embodiment of foldable collar 120 is provided to have six collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F consecutively coupled to one another in a circular fashion.
  • These collar bodies 123 A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123 F are connected via pre-scored folding lines 121A, 121B, 121C, 121D, 121E, 12 IF such that two adjacent collar bodies may readily pivot in relation to each other.
  • These collar bodies may be made of any natural and/or synthetic material, and can be made of cardboard.
  • One skilled in the art would immediately recognize there are many ways to manufacture such foldable collar, using various types of materials.
  • Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D, 10, and l lin the disclosure show an embodiment of foldable collar 120 having six collar bodies 123 A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F, it should be especially noted that any number of collar bodies are feasible.
  • the foldable collar can have at least two collar bodies.
  • the foldable collar can have five collar bodies (see Fig. 12).
  • the foldable collar can have four collar bodies (see Fig. 13).
  • Figs. 11, 12, and 13 illustrate how various numbers of collar bodies collapse onto themselves.
  • the collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F are flat panels pivotably connected to another via folding lines 121A, 121B, 121C, 121D, 121E, 121F as discussed above.
  • the collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F are configured to fold out into a co-planar configuration, thereby keeping the mouth opening 110 of the bag 100 in an open configuration as shown in Figs. 1, 8A, 8B, 9A, 9B, 9C, and 9D.
  • the collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F are also configured to fold in, or collapse onto themselves, such that the collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F are eventually substantially parallel to each other, or stacked, thereby keeping the mouth opening of the bag in a closed configuration (see Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 13).
  • At least one of the collar bodies 123 A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F has a finger 129.
  • collar body 123D has a finger 129 formed as part of a locking notch 128.
  • finger does not limit its structure to a specific width, length, shape, or angle.
  • the finger 129 can be any protuberance.
  • the finger 129 is formed as an integral part of collar body 123D, and it is substantially flat and co-planar with the collar body 123D.
  • a user may optionally wrap strip 382 around the finger 329 repeatedly so the strip 382 can be more securely fastened to the foldable collar 320.
  • the widths of both the finger 429 and the channel 427 are not critical as long as any hook- like structure is provided to hook onto the loop 482 which is disposed on the shoulder portion of the enclosure body 480.
  • the channel 127 may be sufficiently wide to receive a twisted neck 189 as shown in Figs. 8A and 8B. When used this way, apertures 182 can be left unused.
  • the contemplated embodiments disclose a disposable bag 100 with a foldable collar 120 having through-holes 122 disposed on the foldable collar 120.
  • there can be at least two through- holes see Fig. 4).
  • there can be at least three through-holes 122 see Fig. 2).
  • Through-hole 122 is an opening through which some kind of support structure from the waste container can pass, thereby keeping the foldable collar 120 in the desired position.
  • through-holes 122 in most of the embodiments in the disclosure are circular, other shapes and sizes are also contemplated.
  • an X-shaped through- hole is provided in Fig. 3 to receive some kind of support structure from the waste container.
  • collar bodies 223 A, 223C, and 223F can be made of pliable material such as plastic or cardboard, which allows any support structure from the waste container to push through the X-shaped through-hole 222.
  • the disclosure also includes a method of waste management using a waste container and a disposable bag having a foldable collar.
  • the foldable frame acts as a rigid or semirigid coupler to securely fasten the mouth opening of the bag to the waste container.
  • This foldable collar may work with corresponding structure on the waste container to keep the mouth opening of the bag from moving.
  • the foldable collar does not need to work with corresponding structure on the waste container to keep the mouth opening of the bag from moving. For example, this is feasible by using flexible collar with similar characteristic as a rubber-band so that it would fasten on the waste container based on friction.
  • the foldable collar can have at least two collar bodies each pivotably foldable in relation to another via pre-scored folding lines. In some embodiments, there can be at least four collar bodies. In yet another embodiment, there can be at least six collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F. Using collar bodies 123A, 123B, 123C, 123D, 123E, 123F pivotably foldable along pre-scored folding lines allows the foldable collar to collapse into a smaller profile.
  • FIG. 6 shows a waste container 500 without the disposable bag 100 in place.
  • the waste container 500 has a top 530, corresponding structures 532 in the shape of short cylindrical columns, an interior wall of the waste container 515, a knob 534, a head of the knob 535, and a short circular wall 537. Because the disposable bag 100 is not in place, the interior wall 515 of the container is clearly visible from looking through the circular opening defined by the short circular wall 537.
  • Contemplated methods of the disclosure include the step of placing an enclosure body 180 portion of the disposable bag 100 into the waste container 500. Next, placing the foldable collar 120 over a top 530 of the waste container 500 so the enclosure body 180 and the foldable collar 120 are now on either side of the top 530 of the waste container 500.
  • the interior wall 515 of the waste container 500 is no longer visible from looking through the opening defined by the circular wall 537. Instead, one may see the interior of the enclosure body 180 by looking through the opening defined by the circular wall 537.
  • Fig. 7 shows the foldable collar 120 being folded out and secured to the top 530 of the waste container 500 thereby keeps the foldable collar 120 from rotating relative to the top 530 of the waste container 500.
  • the step of securing the foldable collar 120 to the top 530 of the waste container 500 can be accomplished by inserting the three short cylindrical columns 532 through the three through-holes 122. As shown in Fig. 7, the foldable collar 120 is secured in place and cannot easily disengage from the top 530 of the waste container 500. In Fig. 7, the short circular wall 537 is not visible because the bag now drapes over it.
  • the contemplated removal method includes releasing the foldable collar 120 from the top 530 of the waste container 500. This simply means pulling the foldable collar 120 upwards so that the short cylindrical columns 532 are no longer inserted through the through-holes 122. Then, collapsing the foldable collar 120 into a smaller profile as shown in Figs. 10, 11, 12, and 13 then pass the collapsed foldable collar 120 downward through the circular opening defined by the short circular walls 537.
  • this top 530 is hinged to the waste container 500 and can pivot open so the user may have access to the bag 100. In another embodiment, this top 530 can be fully detached from the waste container 500 so that user may have access to the bag 100.
  • An important step of the contemplated method includes using the locking notch 128 or finger 129 from the foldable collar 120 to abuttingly engage either the twisted neck 189, or shoulder portion of the bag as previously described so as to keep the neck 189 from untwisting.
  • a disposable bag can have a collar 820 without folding lines.
  • the collar can have through- holes 822 to engage with corresponding structures 532 on the top 530 of the waste container 500.
  • the collar 820 has been lifted off the top 530, and is ready to be inserted through the circular opening defined by the short circular wall 537
  • Fig. 16 shows the collar 820 from Fig. 15 being made of pliable material so it is configured to deform or bend and be passed down through the circular opening defined by the short circular wall 537.
  • the neck 889 is not twisted. Whether or not the neck 889 is twisted when a user removes the collar 820 from the top 530 depends on whether or not the user had twisted the neck 889 first by rotating the top 530 using knob 534.
