Trash Bag Holder

thingiverse

This innovative solution emerged amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, leveraging the widespread presence of people outdoors to create a convenient tool for keeping public spaces clean. The idea sparked the creation of a user-friendly trash bag carrier that allows individuals to effortlessly collect and dispose of waste while strolling. The design consists of two primary components: the handle section and the locking ring. The locking ring is inserted from beneath, sliding onto the handle with ease. A trash bag is then threaded through the center of both parts, wrapped snugly around the handle, and secured in place by the locking ring as it ascends. This clever mechanism ensures a secure fit, thanks to the tapered design of the two pieces. As the trash bag fills, the increased weight drives the locking ring deeper into the handle section, maintaining a tight seal. If you have suggestions for improvement, please share them! This prototype was developed rapidly in response to the crisis. Don't forget to wear gloves when handling trash bags to maintain hygiene.
