Further, in the present specification, integrally fixing means fixing a plurality of objects as if they were one, and includes detachable fixing. In addition, the cover shall cover at least a part of the trash can body.

本発明に係るカバー付きごみ箱1の実施形態を図1乃至図4に沿って説明する。 An embodiment of the trash can 1 with a cover according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

図1乃至図3示すように、ごみ投入口4を有するごみ箱本体2と、該ごみ箱本体2に装着されるカバー3とを有するカバー付きごみ箱1であって、前記カバー3を前記ごみ箱本体2に嵌めて、前記カバー3を前記ごみ箱本体2に対して、回転させることで、これらを一体的に固定する固定手段を備え、該固定手段は、前記ごみ箱本体2の前記ごみ投入口4に掛止させて該ごみ箱本体2の内側に取り付けたごみ袋Bを、前記カバー3と前記ごみ箱本体2との間に挟んで保持するものである。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, it is a trash can 1 with a cover having a trash can main body 2 having a trash can 4 and a cover 3 attached to the trash can main body 2, and the cover 3 is attached to the trash can main body 2. A fixing means for integrally fixing the cover 3 by fitting and rotating the cover 3 with respect to the trash can main body 2 is provided, and the fixing means is hooked on the trash input port 4 of the trash can main body 2. The trash bag B attached to the inside of the trash can main body 2 is sandwiched and held between the cover 3 and the trash can main body 2.

ごみ箱本体2は、上方にごみ投入口4を有する箱体である。その全体形状は、側面が若干下窄まりに形成された円筒状、底面が側面底辺よりも一段高く形成されたフラット面であるとともに、その底面には操作部8が設けられている。また、側面の上端には、カバー3に係合する被係合部6が複数設けられている。 The trash can main body 2 is a box body having a trash inlet 4 above. Its overall shape is a cylindrical shape with its side surface slightly narrowed, and a flat surface with its bottom surface formed one step higher than the bottom surface of the side surface, and an operation unit 8 is provided on the bottom surface. Further, a plurality of engaged portions 6 that engage with the cover 3 are provided at the upper ends of the side surfaces.

カバー3は、上方に開口5を設け、下方を開放した覆体である。その全体形状は、側面が、若干上窄まりに形成された円筒状であって、上面には、側面から内側に一定幅を有して突出する帯状上覆部9が形成されている。また、側面の内側の上端部には、被係合部6,6,…に係合する係合部7,7,…が設けられている。これらの係合部7,7,…は、カバーがごみ箱本体2に取り付けられた状態で、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6,6,…に夫々係合し、カバー3とごみ箱本体2を一体的に結合することができるものである。また、このカバー3の開口5は、ごみ箱本体2のごみ投入口4に対応する位置に設けられている。これにより、カバー3を装着した状態でごみ投入口4の少なくとも一部が露出するため、ごみ箱として機能するものなっている。 The cover 3 is a cover body having an opening 5 provided at the upper side and an opening at the lower side. Its overall shape is a cylindrical shape whose side surfaces are slightly constricted upward, and a band-shaped covering portion 9 is formed on the upper surface so as to project from the side surface inward with a certain width. Further, at the upper end portion on the inner side of the side surface, engaging portions 7, 7, ... That engage with the engaged portions 6, 6, ... Are provided. These engaging portions 7, 7, ... Engage the engaged portions 6, 6, ... Of the trash can main body 2 with the cover attached to the trash can main body 2, respectively, and engage the cover 3 and the trash can main body 2 with each other. It can be combined integrally. Further, the opening 5 of the cover 3 is provided at a position corresponding to the garbage input port 4 of the trash can main body 2. As a result, at least a part of the garbage input port 4 is exposed with the cover 3 attached, so that it functions as a trash can.

ここで、これらの開口5とごみ投入口4は、常に開いているものとして構成されているが、手動又は電動の蓋などによって、この開口5又はごみ投入口4の全部又は一部が閉鎖されるものとして構成されたものであってもよい。 Here, these openings 5 and the dust inlet 4 are configured to be always open, but all or part of the openings 5 or the dust inlet 4 is closed by a manual or electric lid or the like. It may be configured as a thing.

被係合部6は、図3に示すように、ごみ箱本体2の側面の外側の上端に設けられている。この上端には、この被係合部6と同様に、側面から外方に向かって一定幅で突出する鍔部10も設けられている。このため、被係合部6は、この鍔部10の一部を利用して設けられている。具体的な構成として、被係合部6は、その形状が略倒L字状として、鍔部10のさらに外側に突出するように形成されている。このように、被係合部6は、ごみ箱本体2に他の目的や用途で設けられた部分を利用して設けたものであってもよい。ごみ箱本体2には、四個の被係合部6,6,…が夫々対向する二対となるように配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the engaged portion 6 is provided at the outer upper end of the side surface of the trash can main body 2. Similar to the engaged portion 6, a flange portion 10 protruding outward from the side surface with a constant width is also provided at the upper end. Therefore, the engaged portion 6 is provided by utilizing a part of the flange portion 10. As a specific configuration, the engaged portion 6 is formed so that the shape of the engaged portion 6 is substantially an inverted L shape and protrudes further outward of the collar portion 10. As described above, the engaged portion 6 may be provided on the trash can main body 2 by utilizing a portion provided for another purpose or purpose. On the trash can main body 2, four engaged portions 6, 6, ... Are arranged so as to form two pairs facing each other.

係合部7は、図2及び図4に示すように、カバー3の側面の内側の上端近傍に設けられている。この係合部7は、カバー3の側面から内方に一定幅で突出する平板状に形成されている。また、係合部7は、被係合部6と同様に、カバー3に他の目的や用途で設けられた部分を利用して設けたものであってもよい。カバー3には、四個の係合部7,7,…が夫々対向する二対、被係合部6,6,に対応するように配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the engaging portion 7 is provided near the upper end inside the side surface of the cover 3. The engaging portion 7 is formed in a flat plate shape that protrudes inward from the side surface of the cover 3 with a constant width. Further, the engaging portion 7 may be provided on the cover 3 by utilizing a portion provided for another purpose or application, similarly to the engaged portion 6. On the cover 3, four engaging portions 7, 7, ... Are arranged so as to correspond to two pairs of engaged portions 6, 6, which face each other.

これらのごみ箱本体2側の被係合部6と、カバー3側の係合部7とが、ごみ箱本体2にカバー3を一体的に固定する固定手段を構成するものとなっている。つまり、図4に示すように、水平面における、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6を有しない部分の幅寸法W1と、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6を有する部分の幅寸法W2と、カバー3の係合部7を有しない部分の内側寸法W3と、カバー3の係合部7を有する部分の内側寸法W4とは、W1<W4<W2<W3の関係を満たす。これにより、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し、被係合部6と係合部7とが重ならないように、回転させて嵌めることで、これらが引っ掛からず、カバー3の係合部7が、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6の上端を超えて下方に位置することとなる。また、この状態から、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し回転させて、被係合部6と係合部7とが平面視においてその少なくとも一部が重なるようにすることで、カバー3のみを持ち上げても、係合部7が被係合部6に引っ掛かるため、ごみ箱本体2もカバー3とともに持ち上がる。 The engaged portion 6 on the trash can main body 2 side and the engaging portion 7 on the cover 3 side form a fixing means for integrally fixing the cover 3 to the trash can main body 2. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the width dimension W1 of the portion of the trash box main body 2 that does not have the engaged portion 6 and the width dimension W2 of the portion of the trash box main body 2 that has the engaged portion 6 and the cover in the horizontal plane. The inner dimension W3 of the portion of the cover 3 having the engaging portion 7 and the inner dimension W4 of the portion of the cover 3 having the engaging portion 7 satisfy the relationship of W1 <W4 <W2 <W3. As a result, the cover 3 is rotated and fitted to the trash can body 2 so that the engaged portion 6 and the engaging portion 7 do not overlap with each other, so that they are not caught and the engaging portion 7 of the cover 3 is moved. It is located below the upper end of the engaged portion 6 of the trash can main body 2. Further, from this state, the cover 3 is rotated with respect to the trash can main body 2 so that the engaged portion 6 and the engaging portion 7 overlap at least a part thereof in a plan view, whereby only the cover 3 is lifted. However, since the engaging portion 7 is caught by the engaged portion 6, the trash can main body 2 is also lifted together with the cover 3.

ここで、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6は、水平板状に外方に突出した抜け止め部6aと、この抜け止め部6aの一端に設けられた、ごみ箱本体2に対するカバー3の回転を規制する回転規制部6bとを有する。このため、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に嵌めて、係合部7の抜け止め部6aが被係合部6よりも下方に位置された状態で、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し回転させると、係合部7が回転規制部6aに係合し、その後の同じ周方向の更なる回転が規制される。また、この状態では、係合部7の抜け止め部6aが被係合部6に平面視において少なくとも一部が重なっているため、ごみ箱本体2とカバー3とが一体であるかのように扱えるものとなる。 Here, the engaged portion 6 of the trash can main body 2 rotates the cover 3 with respect to the trash can main body 2 provided at one end of the retaining portion 6a protruding outward in the shape of a horizontal plate. It has a rotation control unit 6b that regulates. Therefore, when the cover 3 is fitted into the trash box main body 2 and the cover 3 is rotated with respect to the trash box main body 2 in a state where the retaining portion 6a of the engaging portion 7 is positioned below the engaged portion 6. The engaging portion 7 engages with the rotation restricting portion 6a, and subsequent further rotation in the same circumferential direction is restricted. Further, in this state, since at least a part of the retaining portion 6a of the engaging portion 7 overlaps the engaged portion 6 in a plan view, the trash can main body 2 and the cover 3 can be handled as if they were integrated. It becomes a thing.

抜け止め部6aは、カバー3がごみ箱本体2に装着され、カバー付きごみ箱1が床面に載置されている状態で、被係合部6に引っ掛かるように構成されているため、持ち運びする際により一体的なものとして扱うことができるが、このような構成に限らず、例えば、カバー付きごみ箱1が床面に載置されている状態で、抜け止め部6aは、被係合部6に係合せず、これらの間にクリアランスを有するものとしてもよく、このような構成によれば、ごみ箱本体2に取り付けたごみ袋への負荷が少なく、使用によってごみ袋の抜け止め部6a及び被係合部6への係合による破れなどを生じ難いものとすることもできる。 The retaining portion 6a is configured to be hooked on the engaged portion 6 in a state where the cover 3 is attached to the trash can main body 2 and the trash can 1 with a cover is placed on the floor surface. However, it is not limited to such a configuration, and for example, when the trash can 1 with a cover is placed on the floor surface, the retaining portion 6a is attached to the engaged portion 6. It may be disengaged and have a clearance between them. According to such a configuration, the load on the trash bag attached to the trash can main body 2 is small, and depending on the use, the trash bag retaining portion 6a and the engagement are engaged. It is also possible to make it difficult for tearing or the like to occur due to engagement with the joint portion 6.

回転規制部6bは、抜け止め部6aの一端に、抜け止め部6aと同様に側面から外方に向かって突出する垂直板状に形成されたものである。また、この回転規制部6bには、カバー3のごみ箱本体2への装着で、カバー3の係合部7が当接するため、特に強度を要求されることとなるが、この回転規制部6bが抜け止め部6aと略倒L字状に一体的に形成されることで、より簡易な構成で高い強度を有するものとなっている。 The rotation restricting portion 6b is formed at one end of the retaining portion 6a in the shape of a vertical plate protruding outward from the side surface in the same manner as the retaining portion 6a. Further, since the engaging portion 7 of the cover 3 comes into contact with the rotation restricting portion 6b when the cover 3 is attached to the trash can main body 2, strength is particularly required. By being integrally formed with the retaining portion 6a in a substantially inverted L shape, it has a simpler structure and high strength.

ごみ箱本体2の露出する部分には、ごみ箱本体2のみを操作するための操作部8が設けられている。具体的には、カバー3に覆われない、ごみ箱本体2の底面に設けられているため、カバー3の着脱において、カバー付きごみ箱1を持ち上げて、この操作部8と、カバー3とを夫々把持することで、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し回転させることが容易なものとなっている。また、この操作部8は、ごみ箱本体2の底面に、略中央を通る直線状の二本のリブで構成されている。このため、カバー付きごみ箱1の使用においてごみを支持するごみ箱本体2の底部を補強することもでき、カバー付きごみ箱1の耐久性を向上するものとなっている。なお、露出とは、底面を含めて外観上あらわれていることをいい、このごみ箱本体の露出する部分とは、同じく底面を含めてカバーに覆われていないことで外観上あらわれている部分というものとする。 An operation unit 8 for operating only the trash can main body 2 is provided on the exposed portion of the trash can main body 2. Specifically, since it is provided on the bottom surface of the trash can main body 2 which is not covered by the cover 3, when attaching / detaching the cover 3, the trash can 1 with a cover is lifted and the operation unit 8 and the cover 3 are gripped respectively. By doing so, it is easy to rotate the cover 3 with respect to the trash can main body 2. Further, the operation unit 8 is composed of two linear ribs passing through substantially the center on the bottom surface of the trash can main body 2. Therefore, when the trash can 1 with a cover is used, the bottom of the trash can main body 2 that supports the trash can be reinforced, and the durability of the trash can 1 with a cover is improved. In addition, the exposure means that it appears on the outside including the bottom surface, and the exposed part of the trash can body is the part that appears on the outside because it is not covered by the cover including the bottom surface. And.

また、カバー3の上端部の内側には、内方にせり出す帯状上覆部9が設けられている。この帯状上覆部9は、ごみ箱本体2の上端の内面よりも内方にせり出すものであるため、ごみ箱本体2に取り付けられたごみ袋Bの折返し部分及びこの部分の近傍が外観に表れず、意匠性を向上するものとなっている。 Further, inside the upper end portion of the cover 3, a band-shaped cover portion 9 protruding inward is provided. Since the strip-shaped covering portion 9 protrudes inward from the inner surface of the upper end of the trash can main body 2, the folded-back portion of the trash bag B attached to the trash can main body 2 and the vicinity of this portion do not appear in the appearance. It improves the design.

以下、このカバー付きごみ箱1へのごみ袋の取付け方法を説明する。 Hereinafter, a method of attaching the garbage bag to the trash can 1 with a cover will be described.

まず、カバー3をごみ箱本体2から取り外す。このとき、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対して、取り付けるときとは反対の周方向に回転させることで、係合部7が被係合部6に係合しない状態となり、この状態でカバー3を上方に持ち上げて、カバー3をごみ箱本体2から取り外す。なお、この作業において、ごみ箱本体2を操作するには、ごみ箱本体2の底面の操作部8を把持して行なうことで、容易に操作することができる。 First, the cover 3 is removed from the trash can main body 2. At this time, by rotating the cover 3 with respect to the trash can body 2 in the circumferential direction opposite to that when the cover 3 is attached, the engaging portion 7 is not engaged with the engaged portion 6, and the cover 3 is in this state. Lift it upward and remove the cover 3 from the trash can body 2. In this work, the operation of the trash can main body 2 can be easily performed by grasping the operation portion 8 on the bottom surface of the trash can main body 2.

次に、ごみ箱本体2にごみ袋Bを取り付ける。このとき、ごみ袋Bの底側をごみ箱本体2の内側下面に近づけるように、又は接面するようにごみ箱本体2内に挿入して、ごみ袋Bの上端側をごみ箱本体2の鍔部10を含む上端に引っ掛けて、少なくとも被係合部6の抜け止め部6aを覆うように取り付ける。 Next, the garbage bag B is attached to the trash can body 2. At this time, the bottom side of the trash bag B is inserted into the trash can body 2 so as to be close to or in contact with the inner lower surface of the trash can body 2, and the upper end side of the trash bag B is placed on the collar portion 10 of the trash can body 2. Hook on the upper end including the above, and attach it so as to cover at least the retaining portion 6a of the engaged portion 6.

最後に、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に装着する。このとき、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に嵌めて、固定位置まで挿入し、この状態でカバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し、取外しのときとは反対の周方向に回転させる。この回転方向は、ごみ箱本体2の被係合部6に対する回転規制部6bの設けられた方向となる。つまり、図3の平面視において、カバー3をごみ箱本体2に対し時計周りの方向に回転させることとなる。 Finally, the cover 3 is attached to the trash can body 2. At this time, the cover 3 is fitted into the trash can main body 2 and inserted to a fixed position, and in this state, the cover 3 is rotated with respect to the trash can main body 2 in the circumferential direction opposite to that at the time of removal. This rotation direction is the direction in which the rotation restricting portion 6b is provided with respect to the engaged portion 6 of the trash can main body 2. That is, in the plan view of FIG. 3, the cover 3 is rotated in the clockwise direction with respect to the trash can main body 2.

上記作業により、ごみ箱本体2にごみ袋Bを取り付けた状態でカバー3を装着し、これらを一体的なものとすることができる。なお、ごみ袋Bを取り外す作業は、上記作業と同様であるが、カバー3をごみ箱本体2から分離させた後に、ごみ袋Bをごみ箱本体2から取り外して行なう。 By the above work, the cover 3 can be attached to the trash can main body 2 with the trash bag B attached, and these can be integrated. The operation of removing the garbage bag B is the same as the above operation, but the cover 3 is separated from the trash can main body 2, and then the trash bag B is removed from the trash can main body 2.

図5乃至図8には、本発明に係る別の実施形態として、その外形を略四角柱とし、カバー3Aをごみ箱本体2Aに嵌めた状態から、さらに押し込むことで、これらを一体化するものとしたカバー付きごみ箱1Aの具体的な構成例を示す。 5 to 8 show, as another embodiment of the present invention, the outer shape thereof is a substantially quadrangular prism, and the cover 3A is fitted into the trash can main body 2A and then pushed further to integrate them. A specific configuration example of the trash can 1A with a cover is shown.

図5乃至図7に示すように、カバー付きごみ箱1Aは、ごみ投入口4Aを有するごみ箱本体2Aと、該ごみ箱本体2Aに装着されるカバー3Aとを有し、前記カバー3Aを前記ごみ箱本体2Aに嵌め、前記カバー3Aを前記ごみ箱本体2Aに対して、更に押し込むことで、これら2A,3Aを一体的に固定することができる固定手段を備え、該固定手段は、前記ごみ箱本体2Aの前記ごみ投入口4Aに掛止させて取り付けたごみ袋Bを、前記カバー3Aと前記ごみ箱本体2Aとの間に挟んで一体的に固定されるものである。 As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the trash can 1A with a cover has a trash can main body 2A having a trash can 4A and a cover 3A attached to the trash can main body 2A, and the cover 3A is used as the trash can main body 2A. The cover 3A is further pushed into the trash can body 2A to provide a fixing means capable of integrally fixing the 2A and 3A, and the fixing means is the trash of the trash can body 2A. The garbage bag B that is hooked and attached to the loading port 4A is sandwiched between the cover 3A and the trash can main body 2A and is integrally fixed.

ごみ箱本体2Aは、上方にごみ投入口4を有する箱体であって、その全体形状は、側面が若干下窄まりに形成された略四角柱状であり、底面がフラット面で形成されている。また、側面の上端には、カバー3Aに係合する被係合部6Aが複数設けられている。 The trash can main body 2A is a box body having a trash inlet 4 at the upper side, and the overall shape thereof is a substantially square columnar shape having a slightly downward constriction on the side surface and a flat surface on the bottom surface. Further, at the upper end of the side surface, a plurality of engaged portions 6A that engage with the cover 3A are provided.

カバー3Aは、上方に開口5Aを設け、下方を開放した覆体である。その全体形状は、側面が、若干上窄まりに形成された略四角柱状であって、上面には、側面から内側に一定幅を有して突出する帯状上覆部9Aが形成されている。また、側面の内側の上端部には、被係合部6A,6A,…に係合する係合部7A,7A,…が設けられている。 The cover 3A is a cover having an opening 5A at the top and an opening at the bottom. Its overall shape is a substantially square columnar shape whose side surfaces are slightly constricted upward, and a band-shaped covering portion 9A protruding inward from the side surface with a certain width is formed on the upper surface. Further, at the upper end portion on the inner side of the side surface, engaging portions 7A, 7A, ... That engage with the engaged portions 6A, 6A, ... Are provided.

被係合部6Aは、図7に示すように、ごみ箱本体2Aの側面の外側の上端に設けられている。具体的な構成として、被係合部6Aは、一定幅で全周にわたって突出する平板状に形成された鍔部10Aの一部を利用したものとなっている。 As shown in FIG. 7, the engaged portion 6A is provided at the outer upper end of the side surface of the trash can main body 2A. As a specific configuration, the engaged portion 6A utilizes a part of a flange portion 10A formed in a flat plate shape having a constant width and projecting over the entire circumference.

係合部7Aは、カバー3Aの側面の内側の上端近傍に設けられている。この係合部7Aは、カバー3Aの側面から内方に略長方形状に突出するものとして構成されている。なお、被係合部6A及び係合部7Aは、他の目的や用途で設けられた部分を利用して設けたものであってもよい。 The engaging portion 7A is provided near the upper end inside the side surface of the cover 3A. The engaging portion 7A is configured to project inward from the side surface of the cover 3A in a substantially rectangular shape. The engaged portion 6A and the engaging portion 7A may be provided by utilizing a portion provided for another purpose or application.

これらのごみ箱本体2A側の被係合部6Aと、カバー3A側の係合部7Aとが、ごみ箱本体2Aにカバー3Aを一体的に固定する固定手段を構成するものとなっている。つまり、図8に示すように、水平面における、ごみ箱本体2Aの被係合部6Aを除く幅寸法X1と、ごみ箱本体2Aの被係合部6Aを含む幅寸法X2と、カバー3Aの係合部7Aを有しない部分の内側寸法X3と、カバー3Aの係合部7Aを有する部分の内側寸法X4とは、X1<X4<X2<X3の関係を満たす。これにより、カバー3Aをごみ箱本体2Aに嵌めることで、被係合部6Aと係合部7Aとが重なるが、この状態でカバー3Aをごみ箱本体2Aに対して更に押し込むことで、係合部7Aが被係合部6Aを乗り超えて、被係合部6Aよりも下方に位置することとなる。この操作により、カバー3Aのみを持ち上げても、係合部7Aが被係合部6Aに引っ掛かるため、ごみ箱本体2Aもカバー3Aとともに持ち上がる。 The engaged portion 6A on the trash can main body 2A side and the engaging portion 7A on the cover 3A side form a fixing means for integrally fixing the cover 3A to the trash can main body 2A. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the width dimension X1 excluding the engaged portion 6A of the trash box main body 2A, the width dimension X2 including the engaged portion 6A of the trash box main body 2A, and the engaging portion of the cover 3A on the horizontal plane. The inner dimension X3 of the portion not having 7A and the inner dimension X4 of the portion having the engaging portion 7A of the cover 3A satisfy the relationship of X1 <X4 <X2 <X3. As a result, the engaged portion 6A and the engaging portion 7A overlap by fitting the cover 3A into the trash can body 2A, but by further pushing the cover 3A against the trash can body 2A in this state, the engaging portion 7A Overcomes the engaged portion 6A and is located below the engaged portion 6A. By this operation, even if only the cover 3A is lifted, the engaging portion 7A is caught by the engaged portion 6A, so that the trash can main body 2A is also lifted together with the cover 3A.

上記カバー付きごみ箱1Aの他の構成については、上記カバー付きごみ箱1の構成と同様である。 The other configuration of the trash can 1A with a cover is the same as the configuration of the trash can 1 with a cover.

なお、上記カバー付きごみ箱では、ごみ箱本体と略同一の高さ寸法を有するカバーを設けて、ごみ箱本体の側面の略全部を外観に表れないものとしているが、このような構成に限らず、ごみ箱本体とカバーとの高さ寸法が異なるものであってもよく、例えば、ごみ箱本体に対してカバーを高さ寸法の短いものとすることで、全体を軽量化するとともに、この短いカバーを把持することで持ち運びし易いものとすることもできる。 In the above-mentioned trash can with a cover, a cover having substantially the same height as the trash can body is provided so that almost all the side surfaces of the trash can body do not appear in the appearance. However, the trash can is not limited to such a configuration. The height dimensions of the main body and the cover may be different. For example, by making the cover shorter in height dimension with respect to the trash can main body, the overall weight is reduced and the short cover is gripped. It can also be made easy to carry.

また、カバーの外表面は、シンプルな構成とすることで意匠性を高いものとしているが、このカバーに、カバー付きごみ箱を持ち運びするための持ち手を設けてなるものとしてもよく、例えば、カバーの一部に孔をあけて、この孔を持ち手として用いるものとしても良い。このような構成によれば、持ち手を簡易に設けることができるとともに、外観上においてもこの孔の部分だけごみ箱本体の側面が表われることとなり、これらの色彩や柄を異なるものとすることでより意匠性を高くすることもできる。 In addition, the outer surface of the cover has a simple structure to enhance the design, but the cover may be provided with a handle for carrying a trash can with a cover, for example, a cover. It is also possible to make a hole in a part of the hole and use this hole as a handle. According to such a configuration, the handle can be easily provided, and the side surface of the trash can main body is exposed only in the portion of the hole in appearance, and these colors and patterns are different. It is also possible to improve the design.

さらに、固定手段は、使用に際し常に機能させる必要があるものではなく、固定手段を機能させない状態での使用も可能であり、例えば、持運びを要しない場面では一体的に固定せず、単にごみ箱本体にカバーを嵌めただけの状態で用いることもできる。 Further, the fixing means does not always need to function when used, and can be used in a state where the fixing means does not function. For example, in a situation where it is not necessary to carry the fixing means, the fixing means is not integrally fixed and is simply a trash can. It can also be used with the cover just fitted to the main body.
