  • Patent number: 11845607
    Abstract: A trash can with a separable base and sidewall. The base and the sidewall have cooperating engaging structures, such as slots in the sidewall and tabs on an inner face of a perimeter wall of the base. The base has a projecting ledge on an outer face of the perimeter wall. The sidewall and base are separated from one another by depressing the projecting ledge, thereby causing the base to resiliently deform and move at least one of the cooperating engaging structures of the base out of engagement with its counterpart on or in the sidewall.

  • Patent number: 11814243
    Abstract: A trash can has a separable sidewall and a base. The sidewall has an upper end and a lower end spaced from the upper end, both of which are open. A set of slots open at the lower end of the sidewall and extend upward from the lower end into the sidewall with a directional change. The base is adapted to accommodate the sidewall so as to close the lower end of the sidewall. The base has a raised perimeter wall with a set of protections along an inner face that are engageable with the slots in the sidewall. The sidewall is without a constriction in width toward its lower end. The sidewall may increase in diameter from the upper end toward the lower end.

The base includes a pair of straps that allow a user to carry it. The sidewall includes recesses that are positioned and adapted to receive the pair of straps when the sidewall rests on the base.

  • Publication number: 20210387799
    Abstract: A trash can for the collection and disposal of trash is disclosed. The trash can includes a base and a separable sidewall allowing for easy removal of a bag from the trash can by lifting the sidewall around the bag, rather than lifting the bag through the top of the trash can. The base of the trash can is connected to straps with a handle positioned between the straps. The handle may be engageable with the sidewall so that the straps hold the sidewall and base together. The handle allows for convenient carrying of the base. The separable sidewall includes a bottom opening defined by the sidewall without a constriction in the width of a base end of the sidewall. The base includes a perimeter wall to inhibit material from escaping the base. The trash may have an outwardly tapered shape to increase the overall volume of the trash can.
