Abstract:
1. A liner-dispensing trash receptacle system for engagement with a vehicular container-engaging surface, the liner-dispensing trash receptacle system comprising: a trash-receiving container, the trash-receiving container being formed from a semi-rigid material, the trash-receiving container comprising a container bottom, a container rim, an inner container surface, and an outer container surface, the inner container surface defining a superior matter-receiving volume, the outer container surface defining an inferior matter-receiving volume at the container bottom, the inferior matter-receiving volume for engagement with a vehicular container-engaging surface; a liner-dispensing assembly, the liner-dispensing assembly comprising first and second laterally spaced rod-retaining members, first and second anchor structures, and an L-shaped liner-retaining rod, the first rod-retaining member comprising a first superior rod-receiving end, the second rod-retaining member comprising a second superior rod-receiving end, the first and second rod-retaining members each comprising an inferior anchor-engaging end, the first superior rod-receiving end comprising a horizontally-aligned rod-receiving aperture, the second superior rod-receiving end comprising a vertically-aligned rod-receiving aperture, the inferior anchor-engaging ends each comprising a pin-engaging slot, each pin-engaging slot having a medial slot end and a lateral slot end, the first and second anchor structures each comprising a vertical pin-retaining structure and a horizontal container-engaging structure, the vertical pin-retaining structures each comprising a laterally-extending pivot pin, the horizontal container-engaging structures each comprising container-fastening means for anchoring the first and second anchor structures to the inner container surface at the container bottom, the L-shaped liner-retaining rod comprising a linear first rod end and an angled second rod end, the second rod end being fixedly received in the vertically-aligned rod-receiving aperture, the first rod end for removable insertion into the horizontally-aligned rod-receiving aperture; and a liner roll, the liner roll comprising a first trash-receiving liner, a plurality of intermediate trash-receiving liners; and a last trash-receiving liner, the first trash-receiving liner comprising a roll beginning end and a first liner-engaging end, each intermediate trash-receiving liner comprising an intermediate trash-receiving end and an intermediate liner-engaging end, the last trash-receiving liner comprising a last trash-receiving end and a roll terminus end, each intermediate trash-receiving end removably connected to a liner-engaging end, each intermediate liner-engaging end removably connected to a trash-receiving end, the first trash-receiving liner, the intermediate trash-receiving liners, and the last trash-receiving liner thus forming a continuously-furled liner length, the liner length comprising a plurality of perforated zones and a rod-receiving center, the last trash-receiving liner forming a rod-receiving tunnel at the rod-receiving center, the rod-receiving tunnel receiving the first rod end, the rod-receiving tunnel having a tunnel axis, the first rod end being removably inserted into the horizontally-aligned rod-receiving aperture, the laterally-extending pivot pins being located at the lateral slot ends, the container rim for supporting the roll beginning end, the liner-retaining rod being spatially located to allow the liner roll to turn upon the liner-retaining rod about the tunnel axis, the trash-receiving container, the liner-dispensing assembly, and the liner roll thus forming a liner-dispensing trash receptacle system for engagement with a vehicular container-engaging surface.
