    Patent number: 6672472
    Abstract: A container houses a flexible bag into which soiled clothing can be deposited. The open end of the flexible bag is twisted relative to the closed bottom end of the flexible bag once the clothing has been deposited in the bag. This relative twisting will close the bag around the deposited item while leaving the open end of the bag open to receive further items. This process can be repeated until the bag is full, at which time, the bag can be removed from a container and discarded.
