Abstract

Abstract A separator-receptacle for holding waste products. A main body includes at least four separate cavities opening outwardly each closed by a door to facilitate the separation and holding of paper, metal, glass and miscellaneous waste products. The paper door includes a slot through which the paper waste products are inserted. A plurality of containers are positioned within the separator receptacle adjacent each door to receive the particular waste product. Baskets are provided for holding the containers. Indicia are provided for coordinating the particular type of waste product associated with each container and door. Dispensers are mounted within the separator-receptacle for automatically decontaminating and deodorizing the materials placed therein.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 269 words
A waste separator-receptacle for recycling of materials comprising: a frame having at least four internal waste receiving cavities each opening outwardly thereof; first closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; second closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; third closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; fourth closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; four separate disposable means removably mountable each within a separate cavity and being visually distinguishable apart to separately hold paper, metal, glass and miscellaneous waste products and being operable to individually hold said waste products within said cavities for eventual removal and discarding; basket means on said frame and associated with each of said closure means to removably hold said separate disposable means; coordinating means associated with said disposable means and said first closure means, said second closure means, said third closure means and said fourth closure means operable to predetermine the particular waste product to be inserted into a cavity associated with a particular closure means and disposable means; and fluid dispensing means mounted with said frame operable to dispense a fluid therein; and, holding means mounted to said frame to hold said fluid dispensing means and including a hingedly mounted member extending atop said fluid dispensing means and adjacent said basket means and operable when said hingedly mounted member is contacted by said basket means upon opening and closing of one of said closure means to pivot against said fluid dispensing means for the controlled release of said fluid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 269 words
A waste separator-receptacle for recycling of materials comprising: a frame having at least four internal waste receiving cavities each opening outwardly thereof; first closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; second closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; third closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; fourth closure means on said frame at least partially enclosing one of said cavities; four separate disposable means removably mountable each within a separate cavity and being visually distinguishable apart to separately hold paper, metal, glass and miscellaneous waste products and being operable to individually hold said waste products within said cavities for eventual removal and discarding; basket means on said frame and associated with each of said closure means to removably hold said separate disposable means; coordinating means associated with said disposable means and said first closure means, said second closure means, said third closure means and said fourth closure means operable to predetermine the particular waste product to be inserted into a cavity associated with a particular closure means and disposable means; and fluid dispensing means mounted with said frame operable to dispense a fluid therein; and, holding means mounted to said frame to hold said fluid dispensing means and including a hingedly mounted member extending atop said fluid dispensing means and adjacent said basket means and operable when said hingedly mounted member is contacted by said basket means upon opening and closing of one of said closure means to pivot against said fluid dispensing means for the controlled release of said fluid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
The waste separator-receptacle of claim 1 wherein: said basket means includes a plurality of walls joined together forming a plurality of baskets each mounted to a separate one of said closure means with each basket including roller means provided thereon contactable with said member as each closure means with associated basket opens and closes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
The waste separator-receptacle of claim 2 wherein: said fluid dispensing means includes a plurality of pressurized aerosol containers each with depressible jet to control escape of fluid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 43 words
The waste separator-receptacle of claim 3 wherein: said baskets each include a bottom wall with a inwardly radiused corner edge with said frame including a plurality of ridges positioned each within said corner edge of said baskets allowing said baskets to pivot thereon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 210 words
A waste separator-receptacle for recycling of materials and including an environmental control dispenser with holder comprising: a main frame including a front wall and top wall joined together with said front wall including four openings and said top wall including a fifth opening; four separate baskets pivotally mounted to said front wall at said four openings and movable back and forth from a first position whereat said openings are closed to a second position whereat said openings are open; a top cover mounted to said top wall over said fifth opening; a plurality of disposable receptacles fitable within said baskets and beneath said top cover to receive waste; a plurality of pressurized containers mounted within said frame and including pressurized liquid therein to dispense, said containers having release means positioned adjacent said baskets being contacted as said baskets move back and forth between said first position and said second position with said release means being operable to release said liquid from said containers when contacted; and, a plurality of holders mounted within said frame and including pivotally mounted walls extending over said release means and against said baskets, said pivotally mounted walls positioned to contact and depress said release means as said baskets are moved contacting said pivotally mounted walls.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 210 words
A waste separator-receptacle for recycling of materials and including an environmental control dispenser with holder comprising: a main frame including a front wall and top wall joined together with said front wall including four openings and said top wall including a fifth opening; four separate baskets pivotally mounted to said front wall at said four openings and movable back and forth from a first position whereat said openings are closed to a second position whereat said openings are open; a top cover mounted to said top wall over said fifth opening; a plurality of disposable receptacles fitable within said baskets and beneath said top cover to receive waste; a plurality of pressurized containers mounted within said frame and including pressurized liquid therein to dispense, said containers having release means positioned adjacent said baskets being contacted as said baskets move back and forth between said first position and said second position with said release means being operable to release said liquid from said containers when contacted; and, a plurality of holders mounted within said frame and including pivotally mounted walls extending over said release means and against said baskets, said pivotally mounted walls positioned to contact and depress said release means as said baskets are moved contacting said pivotally mounted walls.
