Device for placing and containing soiled objects therein

Abstract

The device ( 1 ) comprises a container ( 2 ) and a cover ( 3 ), said cover including a hollow tubular element ( 7 ) open at at least one end ( 5, 6 ), in which a body ( 8 ) capable of reciprocating motion is provided, said cover being pivotable with respect to the container between a first position, in which an object can be placed into the tubular element, and a second position, in which the body can move downwards in the tubular element under the influence of the force of gravity to push the object into the container. The device further comprises sleeve ( 18 ) of a flexible material arranged within the tubular element, the body being connected to the sleeve near the closed end of the sleeve and the sleeve being attached to the tubular element along its circumferential edge.

1 . A device for placing and containing objects therein, in particular soiled objects such as soiled diapers, comprising a container and a cover, said cover including a hollow tubular element that is open at at least one end, in which a body capable of reciprocating motion is provided, said cover being pivotable with respect to the container between a first position, in which an object can be placed into the tubular element from the outside, and a second position, in which the body can move downwards in the tubular element under the influence of the force of gravity in order to push the object into the container, characterized in that the device comprises a sleeve of flexible material arranged within the tubular element, which sleeve is closed near a first end thereof, the body being connected to the sleeve near the closed end of the sleeve and the sleeve being attached to the tubular element along its circumferential edge near a second end. 
   
   
       2 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein the body is detachably connected to the sleeve. 
   
   
       3 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve comprises a compartment near its closed end, in which the body is accommodated. 
   
   
       4 . A device according to  claim 1 , wherein the body is made up of a disc capable of reciprocating motion within the tubular element that is configured as a cylinder. 
   
   
       5 . A device according to  claim 1   4 , wherein the sleeve is detachably attached to the tubular element. 
   
   
       6 . A device according to  claim 5 , wherein the sleeve includes a spring ring at the location of its circumferential edge. 
   
   
       7 . A device according to  claim 1   6 , wherein the sleeve is attached to the tubular element on an inner side thereof. 
   
   
       8 . A device according to  claim 7 , wherein the tubular element is provided with a circumferential groove on the inside for receiving the circumferential edge of the sleeve. 
   
   
       9 . A device according to  claim 1   8 , wherein the container comprises at least two detachably interconnected segments arranged one on top of the other, the lower segment of which also comprises a bottom of the container. 
   
   
       10 . A sleeve suitable for use in a device according to  claim 1 , wherein the sleeve is detachably attached to the tubular element.
