  • Patent number: 10626568
    Abstract: A waste collector comprises a handle assembly, a receptacle, a lid pivotally attached to the receptacle, a yoke operatively coupled to a shaft of the handle assembly, and a set of locking members. The yoke is pivotally attached to the receptacle. The lid incorporates a guiding channel for receiving the shaft. The receptacle incorporates a downward lip. A subset of the locking members is attached to walls of the receptacle and another subset of the locking members is attached to the yoke. Each locking member incorporates a set of through cuts. The set of through cuts creates a corresponding set of leaves. Each leave within the set is flexible and adapted to extend away from the corresponding locking member when a force is applied. When the force is released, the leaf intends to retain its original form.
