Abstract:
1. A waste disposal device, comprising: a container defining a waste-receiving compartment having an opening; a lid connected to said container, said lid having a first, closed position covering said opening of said container and a second, open position in which said opening is exposed; a twisting assembly arranged in said container to engage with and twist or untwist a bag or tubing that extends through said twisting assembly and into which waste is inserted; and a manual actuator having a first position in engagement with said twisting assembly and a second, different position out of engagement with said twisting assembly, said manual actuator being manually switchable in a first direction of movement between said first and second positions, said manual actuator being arranged to selectively engage with said twisting assembly such that movement of said manual actuator, in a second direction of movement different than the first direction of movement and while said manual actuator is in said first position, causes rotation of said twisting assembly in at least one direction and movement of said manual actuator, in the second direction and while said manual actuator is in said second position, does not cause rotation of said twisting assembly.
