ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hinged receptacle or container and more specifically pertains to a new and improved hinged receptacle or container for users for storage, discarded contents or rubbish in reference to the removal of it's contents, whether lined or unlined (with a type of known insert or bag), without requiring necessarily any vertical lifting or horizontal sliding when the receptacle or container itself, lined or unlined is opened and operated to between 0 degree to 180 degrees or greater, to achieve it's maximum functionally and open operational position. When maximum functional position is achieved, contents will automatically be dislodged or ejected because at that point the receptacle or container becomes bottomless at prior center point. With people living longer and or having more medical problems, there is a great need for an easier, less stressful, injury reducing method to remove filled lined or unlined contents for them. Therefore, the present invention is and has the method to reduce what is considered to be a problem, that being the suction factor and or the friction factor that exist inside of filled receptacles or containers at the time of removal by people, of it's contents when lined or unlined, especially if it's contents has been forced packed in it's hollow members. The present invention halved/sectional base bottom floor may/may not have wheeled mechanism(s). The present invention does eliminate the suction factor and the friction factor that exist and reduces or eliminates ankle, leg, foot or toe injury possibilities that may occur when liner bags are used and attempted to be removed and the vacuum pressure created between liner bag and the receptacle or container is released in an immediate downward motion across toes, feet or ankles, thus leading to potential lose of toes from such action or other injuries.
