  • Patent number: 9592956
    Abstract: A waste device including a container having a bottom and a circumferential wall, wherein the container has a container-opening on the end remote from the bottom and closing means positioned near the container opening for substantially closing the container opening in such a way that odor release is prevented. The closing means includes a drum housing and a drum body being pivotable between an insertion position wherein refuse is placeable in a transport container, and a transit position wherein the transport container is aligned with the drum opening. The waste device further including a flexible sealing member having a connection part that is located radially outwards, and that is connected to the drum housing, and having a sealing part that extends radially inward from the connection part and which may be brought into sealingly contact with the external surface of the drum body for sealing the container opening in a substantially odor-free manner.
