Abstract:

A refuse collector comprises a wheeled frame at one end of which is a hoop which supports a pliable cylindrical sleeve that is open at both of its ends. The hoop also is adapted to support a trash bag open at one end, the trash bag being accommodated within the sleeve. The handle is coupled to the hoop and is pivotable between a first position in which it extends in prolongation of the hoop and a second position in which it generally parallels the frame. In the first position the handle enables the user to move the frame along the ground with the open end of the trash bag in condition to receive litter and in the second position of the handle it provides a support for the frame in such manner as to maintain the trash bag and its contents in an upright position.
