Scroll Top Trashcan

Abstract

a top that scrolls back, sliding into the back panel of the body of the trash container which is rectangular in shape standing upright slightly tapering from wide at the top to narrowing at the bottom to incorporate ease of stacking, with two rear wheels attached directly to the molded hollow hub of body of the trash container. A trash container that is made of durable plastic having no metal components. A trash container having a handle on the top and a handle on the top of the back end of the body of the trash container. The two handles are positioned one in front of the other to allow the two handles to come together as one handle when the top on the trash container is slid back. These features make the trash container more ergonomic and more resilient.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001]1. Field of the Invention

[0002]The present invention relates to products used in the area of sanitation and thrash removal. These products are sometimes referred to as garbage containers and, trashcans. These types of products are specifically designed to serve as a medium for maintaining a clean and safe environment for homes, and businesses.

[0003]2. Description of Prior Art

[0004]Over the past several years many different types of trashcan designs have been introduced to help in the process of trash removal. However, nearly all of them have been proven to have many flaws in their design. Most trashcans of today have tops that come off. The tops of some trashcans get can be knocked off and blown away by the wind; some get run over by cars. Sometimes the trash can tops get accidentally crushed in the back of trash trucks.

[0005]When this happens the trashcan is open to rodents and other pest. The owners must get new trash can tops or in some cases new trash cans as well.

[0006]Today more and more trash cans are being designed to have a top that flips back like the big green commercial dumpsters. In reality the only thing that the designers of these types of trashcans has done was to create a smaller bulky ugly cumbersome trash can that makes for a very unsightly neighborhood on trash day or any other day.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Scroll Top Trashcan

[0013]The drawings will be referred to in order to describe a preferred embodiment of the SCROLL TOP TRASHCAN according to the present invention. The SCROLL TOP TRASHCAN of the present invention is made of a standard durable plastic material comprised of a body 1 that is rectangular in shape standing upright slightly tapering from wide at the top to narrowing at the bottom to incorporate ease of stacking, increase efficiency throughout production, and manufacturing with a lower cost of shipping, and distribution.

[0014]The handle 4 is attached to the top 5 as one piece that is inserted between the guide rails 2 and 3. The top 5 and handle 4 slides open completely going back until the handle 4 connects to the handle 6 of the body 1 and is used together to increase the overall strength of scroll top trashcan throughout lifting.

[0015]The wheel 8 is recessed into the body 1 and is pressed onto the molded hollow hub of the body 1. The molded hollow hub of the body 1 has a low friction type plastic slip shoe 9 that is attached at the bottom allowing for ease of mobility with increased stability when moving the scroll top trashcan.

[0016]The top 5 when completely closed create a secure seal against bad weather by guiding water along the drain channel 10 out through the drain port 7 of the body 1. The secure seal of the top 5 keeps out pest, because it cannot be flipped off by dogs or wild animals.

[0017]The top 5 is very unique design for the SCROLL TOP TRASHCAN because it cannot be blown off and lost in bad weather or harsh environments, and has an exceptional and a distinctive neighborly attractiveness.
