Technical Approach
Title of Proposal:
Technology for Affixing Garbage Bags to Trash Cans: Super-Tie
Proposed Technical Approach:
The proposal is to develop the Super-Tie technology for preventing garbage bags from falling into trash cans during usage.
The existing technologies for tying a garbage bag include the Easy-Tie and the Quick-Tie. These prior art garbage bags have 4 wavy flaps that the user can tie after the garbage bag becomes full.
The wavy flaps of the prior art is not long enough to tie each other in order to tighten the bag to prevent the garbage bag from falling into the trash can during usage. Moreover, since there are only 4 flaps, the user must untie the knot when he/she closes the garbage bag.
The Super-Tie technology has 5 flaps. The user makes a permanent knot with 2 of the flaps to tighten the garbage bag around the trash can's upper edge. When the garbage bag becomes full, the user ties the rest of the unused flaps to close the bag for disposal.
The innovative Super-Tie represents ultimate simplicity, i.e., no adhesive tape, no glue, no elastic, no frame, no extra material.
The impact on capital expenditures and on operating cost will be minimum. The Super-Tie is sustainable (non-toxic/carcinogenic), and will attract new users as well as maintain the current users. The new technology does not introduce any undesirable characteristics or other by-products unsafe for contact or consumption. There is no regulatory hurdles to overcome (i.e., FDA or related regulations).
