  • Article receptacle
    Patent number: 4550440
    Abstract: An article receptacle for the disposal of articles, such as trash and litter, includes a flexible bag frictionally retained between two frames. The frames nest together to permit the bag to be inserted and removed without bending or deforming the frames, and to permit the frictional engagement of the frames to strengthen in response to the bag load. Several attachments provide support for the assembled frames: a hip mount supports the frames on a user's belt; a scoop attachment supports the frames in an upright position at ground level and includes a ramp to permit debris to be swept directly into the bag mouth; and a wall mount supports the frames from a vertical surface.
    Type: Grant
