Benefits of technology

[0004]There are countless types of trash and garbage bags available in different sizes and shapes with different closure methods, but most are meant to be used in a trash can to ease in the removal of waste and to keep the trash can relatively clean.
[0006]It is an object of the present invention to provide an extractor device for removal of a garbage bag containing waste or garbage from a trash can with a top and a bottom where the extractor has a flat lifting platfoiui with a top surface and a bottom surface fitted to the cross sectional shape of a trash can and normally resting in the bottom of the trash can, vertical lifting arms with bottom ends and top ends, the bottom ends attached to the top surface of the lifting platform and riding in slide rails with a pull handle attached to the top ends of the lifting arms for manually raising the lifting platform in the trash can while a garbage bag containing garbage sits on the top surface of the lifting platform. It is also an object of the invention to provide a venting hole or holes to break the vacuum created in the trash can when the lifting platform is raised.

Problems solved by technology

In spite of the advantages inherent in using garbage or trash bags, removal of the bag from the can pose problems, particularly for those with limited physical strength such as the elderly or infirm.
While certainly easy to fill, once full, the bag may simply be too heavy to lift easily for removal from the can.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]FIG. 1 depicts a trash can 2 with a manual embodiment of the inventive garbage bag extractor 1 in place. The front and right side 4 of the trash can 2 have been cut away for clarity. It is understood that a garbage bag would be placed in the trash can 2 to receive waste and garbage from above in the normal fashion. As shown, the garbage bag extractor 1 has a lifting platform 7 fitted to the cross sectional shape of the trash can 2 with a top side 8 and a bottom side 9, the lifting platform 7 resting in the bottom 6 of the trash can 2. At the top 8 of the lifting platform 7 are attached the bottom ends 13 of vertical lifting arms 11 that ride in vertical slide rails 10 attached to the rear interior side 3 of the trash can 2. The top ends 12 of the lifting arms 11 are attached to a pull handle 14. Also shown is at least one venting hole 20 meant to break the natural vacuum created when the lifting platform 7 is raised. In this embodiment, air would be drawn the slide rails 10 th...
