Decorative pillar container

Abstract

A decorative pedestal container has a plastic resin exterior with a variety of sections. A top section can be molded and painted to look like masonry red brick. A middle section can be molded and painted to look like brick, concrete, stone facing or stucco. A bottom section forming the base can be molded and painted to look like masonry brick. The enclosure pedestal device is hollow and has three drain holes located at the base of the pedestal. The pedestal container has an open top closed by the top section that serves as a lid mounted on hinges and with latch mechanism mounted allowing control of the movement of the lid by a dampening closure so that the lid does not slam shut on users to ensure a safe operation of the container.

1 . A decorative pillar container comprising: 
 a. a main section having four side walls painted externally to simulate masonry finish, an opening at the top free edges of said four sidewalls and an internal cavity including four corners each occupied by an upright support extending from the bottom edges of adjacent two of said four side walls and terminated short of said top free edges defining an upwardly supporting corner face;    b. a top lid section extending over said opening of said main section and parts of said side walls and having a top and at least four side surfaces painted externally to simulate masonry finish, said top lid section being hingedly connected along a top free edge of one of said four side walls of said main section;    c. a bottom section defining a base of said decorative pillar container and having a predetermined number of drain holes;    d. a trash bag retainer consisting of a collar member and a ring member releasably mated with said collar member to wedge an open end of a trash bag between said members, said collar member having outer edges with four corners adapted to be rested on said supporting faces of said corner supports in said pillar container; and    e. a beverage tub selective to replace said trash bag retainer to render said pillar container switchable between a waste receptacle mode and beverage cooler and dispenser mode in a social gathering.    
   
   
       2 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said ring member is releasably and rotationally mated with said collar member.

       4 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said ring member is releasably and rotationally mated with said collar member and, further comprising extra support members of spring loaded hinges connected to both of said main and top sections.  
   
   
       5 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said beverage tub has four handles molded into sidewalls as depressions.  
   
   
       6 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said masonry finish comprises stucco.  
   
   
       7 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said masonry finish comprises brick.  
   
   
       8 . The container set forth in  claim 1 , wherein said masonry finish comprises tile.  
   
   
       9 . A decorative pillar container comprising: 
 a. a main section having four side walls painted externally to simulate a finish, an opening at the top free edges of said four sidewalls and an internal cavity including four corners each occupied by an upright support extending from the bottom edges of adjacent two of said four side walls and terminated short of said top free edges defining an upwardly supporting corner face;    b. a top lid section extending partially over said opening of said main section and parts of said side walls and having a top opening and at least four side surfaces painted externally to simulate masonry finish, said top lid section being hingedly connected along a top free edge of one of said four side walls of said main section with extra support of spring loaded hinges connected to both of said main and top sections and said top opening being closed by a supplemental lid hingedly connected along a free edge of said top opening with a spring loaded assist for easier access to the interior of said pillar container bypassing the hinged opening of said top lid section;    c. a bottom section defining a base of said decorative pillar container and having a predetermined number of drain holes;    d. a trash bag retainer consisting of a collar member and a ring member releasably and rotationally mated with said collar member to wedge an open end of a trash bag between said members, said collar member having outer edges with four corners adapted to be rested on said supporting faces of said corner supports in said pillar container.    
   
   
       10 . The container set forth in  claim 9 , wherein said masonry finish comprises stucco.  
   
   
       11 . The container set forth in  claim 9 , wherein said masonry finish comprises brick.  
   
   
       12 . The container set forth in  claim 9 , wherein said masonry finish comprises tile.  
   
   
       13 . A decorative pillar container comprising:
