Abstract
Abstract A cartridge comprising a compressed plastic tube for mounting on the tapered end of a hollow cylindrical member into which solid waste or refuse is rammed so that the tube can subsequently be tied and cut into relatively small units containing slugs of compacted refuse. The plastic tube comprises elongated sections, generally about 2 ft. in length, interconnected by adhesively retained external folds, so that after a length of tube, such for example as 32 ft., is filled with slugs of compacted refuse, the folds can be readily pulled open, tied, and severed between the ties to form 2 ft. plastic containers of compacted refuse.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
For use with a refuse compaction machine and adapted to be mounted as a cartridge on the delivery end of a hollow Cylindrical compaction member; a plastic tube having elongated sections and external spaced folds connecting adjacent sections and extending in the same direction towards one end of said tube, each fold including an outer portion continuous with one section of said tube, an inner portion adjacent to the outer portion of an adjacent section and continuous therewith and a web connecting said inner and outer fold portions, and separable adhesive means engaging the outer surface of one section and the outer surface of the outer portion of said fold for retaining the webs of spaced folds against the outer portions of adjacent sections so that said folds remain in the folded position until a pull is exerted on the plastic tube to sever the adhesive means only.
