AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a waste disposal container that can be easily attached to a surface, such as a table or counter. It allows users to dispose of waste, like diapers, without having to leave an infant unattended or struggle with holding the infant while using the disposal container. The container is designed to act as a standalone unit when there is no surface to attach it to. When the container is full, a new bag is ready to replace the used bag. The container is designed to reduce the risk of contamination and can be sealed and thrown away in a trash can. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient, sanitary, and efficient way to dispose of waste.

Problems solved by technology

The problem of prior art solutions to waste removal is that they concentrate on masking odors and allowing a user to delay emptying the diaper pail by providing a large receptacle for waste and systems for sealing in odors.

While these solutions are commonly used by consumers, common complaints are that they do not work well at masking odor and that the bags containing the soiled diapers are difficult to remove from the receptacle.

One other disadvantage to this system is that they are designed to be used in a home setting, In a public setting, it is not practical to utilize a system such as these so diapers are commonly disposed of in the public area trash can.

This leads to an unpleasant setting as trash cans in public settings are not emptied often and there is the risk that waste product can be left exposed in a trash can creating an unsanitary situation.

However, the problem with all of these systems is that the garbage bags are all internal to the unit, meaning that a user has to put his / her hand into the unit to pull up a new bag.
