Tying device for one hand use and waste deposition device with such a tying device

Abstract

The invention relates to a tying device ( 4 ) for holding a rope-like or tube-like item ( 15 ) when knotting the same, which comprises two pin-like portions ( 5, 6 ) with a slit ( 7 ) in-between. Moreover, the invention relates to a waste deposition device ( 1 ), comprising an annular holder ( 2 ) for a cassette ( 3 ) with a plastic hose ( 15 ) and comprising at least one tying device ( 4 ) of said kind.

1 . Tying device for holding a rope-like or tube-like item when knotting the same, comprising:
 two pin-like portions with a slit in-between.   
     
     
         2 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a distance between axes of the two pin-like portions increases towards the ends of the two pin-like portions and an angle (α) between said axes measured in the region of the two opening pin-like portions is equal to or less than 60°. 
     
     
         3 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the axes of the two pin-like portions are substantially parallel, wherein the ends of the two pin-like portions point in basically the same direction. 
     
     
         4 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the slit is V-shaped and opens towards the ends of the two pin-like portions. 
     
     
         5 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a blade arranged in the slit. 
     
     
         6 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a stopper arranged at a distance from the free end of the pin-like portion. 
     
     
         7 . Tying device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a depression arranged on and running along the pin-like portions. 
     
     
         8 . Waste deposition device, comprising an annular holder for a cassette with a plastic hose comprising at least one tying device as claimed in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         9 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising
 a) multiple mounting positions for arbitrarily mounting the at least one tying device or the at least one combined tying/cutting device or   b) multiple tying devices or multiple combined tying/cutting devices, which are permanent parts of the waste deposition device and which are arranged at different positions.   
     
     
         10 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the mounting positions respectively of the tying devices or combined tying/cutting devices are arranged at different angular positions around a center axis of the annular holder. 
     
     
         11 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein angles between said angular positions are substantially the same. 
     
     
         12 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising a lid, designed to open/close a center opening of the annular holder. 
     
     
         13 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 12 , comprising a first mounting position respectively of a first tying device or first combined tying/cutting devices is arranged with of a hinge of the lid and a second and a third position respectively of a second and a third tying device or a second and a third combined tying/cutting device are arranged left and right thereof. 
     
     
         14 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising a base, a post protruding from the base, the annular holder mounted to the post at a mounting position and the tying device(s) or the combined tying/cutting device(s) mounted to the annular holder. 
     
     
         15 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 8 , comprising a box arranged below the annular holder. 
     
     
         16 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the cassette, which is rotatable around the center axis of the annular holder and in relation to the mounting positions of respectively the tying devices or combined tying/cutting devices. 
     
     
         17 . Waste deposition device as claimed in  claim 16 , comprising a gear coupled to the lid and to the annular holder or the cassette.
