Automatic trash bagger

Abstract

The Automatic Trash Bagger introduces the concept of electronically sensed fullness and automatically tying a trash bag within a trash canister, which offers a more sanitary way to remove garbage from the home, office, etc. The Automatic Trash Bagger relieves the owner of the duty of pushing trash down into the receptacle to fit when full, pulling the trash bag up and tying it while contaminating their clothes and hands. Unlike the traditional trash can, the Automatic Trash Bagger is electronic and ties the bag for the owner or user. The only responsibility to the owner is to lift out the tied bag and dispose of it.

1 . A trash can assembly, comprising: a shell having a bottom end the shell defining an outer periphery that encloses an interior space; a lid pivot coupled to the outer shell for movement between an open position and a closed position; comprising: a sensor which measures weight and mass of the contents; twist arms which gather the edges of a typical trash bag insert, while rotating around the circumference of the inner lid which comes from a laying down position to an outward diagonal position; twist arm rotator on ridge of inner lid, which spins the twist arms around the lid; bag ties which are the tying mechanisms, in which after bag is pulled by twist arms, come from a laying position on the inner lid to tie bag into a single knot. 
   
   
       2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the sensor is in the center of the lid, protruding out of the inside of the lid. 
   
   
       3 . The assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the sensor measures weight and mass of the trash can contents. 
   
   
       4 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein twist arms comprise of semi adhesive on their ends, and the twist arms are in a semi hook shape. 
   
   
       5 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the twist arms spin about half way around the inner lid circumference as they pull edges of grabbed bag on a twist arm rotator. 
   
   
       6 . The assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the twist arm rotator is connected to each twist arm, as their mode of being spun around on the ridge of the inner lid. 
   
   
       7 . The assembly of  claim 1 , wherein added length of the bag ties is inside of the lid, traveling through two small holes in the lid. 
   
   
       8 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein bag ties come from a laying position against the inner lid, to an outward downward diagonal position when sensor is activated. 
   
   
       9 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein bag ties extend out of two holes in the inner lid about an inch from the beginning points of the diameter of the said lid. 
   
   
       10 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein there are two bag ties. 
   
   
       11 . The assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the bag ties each have two outward extended grabbing mechanisms on their ends. 
   
   
       12 . A hinged trash can lid assembly, comprising: a sensor which measures weight and mass of the contents; twist arms, which come from a laying down position to an outward diagonal position, connected to a twist arm rotating device which is secured to the circumference of the inner lid; twist arm rotator on ridge of inner lid, which spins the twist arms around the inner ridge of the lid; bag ties which are the tying mechanisms. 
   
   
       13 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the twist arms, twist arm rotator and bag ties are signaled from the sensor to automatically close and tie bag. 
   
   
       14 . A method of automatic trash bag closing and tying into a knot inside of a trash can assembly, comprising: a trash can assembly that has an outer shell defining an outer periphery that encloses an interior space; a foot pedal used to open and close a hinged lid; and a lid comprising: two bag ties which have two bag tie fingers on the ends of each, which open and close for grasping; many bag twist arms; a sensor, which senses weight and mass of the contents. 
   
   
       15 . The assembly of  claim 14 , wherein the bag twist arms grab the plastic mil (top) of the trash bag insert, to allow for closing and tying. 
   
   
       16 . The assembly of  claim 15 , wherein, there must be a trash bag insert in order for there to be proper functionality.
