Waste receptacle
A waste receptacle includes a housing defining a rim, the rim defining a rim opening configured to receive a liner. The waste receptacle may include a plurality of retention tabs extending from the rim. At least one retention tab of the plurality of retention tabs extends outward relative to the rim opening. The waste receptacle may include a lid, a lift-rod, a pedal operatively coupled to the lift-rod, and a locking tab configured to lock or unlock the lift-rod. The waste receptacle may include a foldable pedal being foldable about a fold axis between a pedal-extended configuration and a pedal-folded configuration. The waste receptacle may include a plurality of dampening feet.
1. A waste receptacle comprising:
a housing defining a rim, the rim defining a rim opening configured to receive a liner; and
a plurality of retention tabs extending from the rim;
wherein at least one retention tab of the plurality of retention tabs extends outward relative to the rim opening, wherein the at least one retention tab has a non-planar contour and extends along the rim from a first side of a corner to a second side of the corner, and wherein the at least one retention tab comprises:
an upper end that is flared outward toward an exterior of the housing; and
a base portion adjacent to the upper end, wherein the base portion is inset from an outer edge of the rim relative to the rim opening.
2. The waste receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the at least one retention tab defines the base portion adjacent the rim and the upper end extending from the base portion away from the rim opening, and wherein the upper end projects outward relative to the rim opening.
3. The waste receptacle of claim 2 , wherein the at least one retention tab comprises a curved portion between the base portion and the upper edge, and wherein the upper end flares outward relative to the rim opening.
4. The waste receptacle of claim 1 , further comprising a lid movable between a lid-closed configuration in which the lid extends laterally across the rim opening and a lid-open configuration in which the lid is spaced from the rim opening.
5. The waste receptacle of claim 4 , wherein the lid is completely separable from the rim or from the housing.
6. The waste receptacle of claim 4 , wherein the lid is secured along a lid edge to the rim and is configured to pivot about the lid edge relative to the rim opening between the lid open configuration and the lid-closed configuration.
7. The waste receptacle of claim 4 , wherein the lid covers and conceals the plurality of retention tabs in the lid-closed configuration.
8. The waste receptacle of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of retention tabs is configured to securely retain the liner in any of the shroud-open configuration, the shroud-closed configuration, the lid-open configuration, and the lid-closed configuration.
9. The waste receptacle of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of retention tabs defines at least one inter-tab spacing configured to receive a finger or a tool between adjacent retention tabs of the plurality of retention tabs to contact and remove the liner from the retention tabs.
10. The waste receptacle of claim 1 , further comprising a shroud defining a shroud opening, wherein the shroud is movable between a shroud-closed configuration in which the shroud opening aligns with the rim opening and a shroud-open configuration in which the shroud opening is at least partially spaced from the rim opening.
11. The waste receptacle of claim 10 , wherein the shroud covers and conceals the plurality of retention tabs in the shroud-closed configuration.
12. The waste receptacle of claim 10 , wherein the shroud is completely separable from the housing.
13. The waste receptacle of claim 10 , wherein the shroud is secured along a shroud edge of the shroud to the housing and configured to pivot about the shroud edge between the shroud-open configuration and the shroud-closed configuration.
14. The waste receptacle of claim 10 , further comprising the lid, wherein the lid extends laterally across the shroud opening in the lid-closed configuration, and wherein the lid is spaced from the shroud opening in the lid-open configuration.
15. The waste receptacle of claim 14 , wherein the lid is completely separable from the shroud.
16. The waste receptacle of claim 14 , wherein the lid is secured along the lid edge to the shroud and configured to pivot about the lid edge relative to the shroud opening between the lid-open configuration and the lid-closed configuration.
17. The waste receptacle of claim 1 , wherein the rim defines at least one corner, and wherein the at least one retention tab is disposed at a respective corner of the at least one corner of the rim.
18. The waste receptacle of claim 17 , wherein the at least one corner consists of four corners, and wherein the at least one retention tab consists of four retention tabs, each retention tab of the four retention tabs being disposed at a respective corner of the four corners.
