Abstract
This invention relates to a waste container to be held in the hand for the collection of liquid waste, primarily stomach contents thrown up at attacks of vomiting. With a view to providing a waste container in which it is possible to catch large quantities of vomit or waste, which is readily handled without spillage of the contents, and which after deposition on a support prevents all by itself the contents and the smell from escaping, the waste container (1) comprises an annular handle (2) on which there is disposed a waste bag (3) whose length (L) considerably exceeds the diameter (D) of the annular handle (2), the waste bag (3) being flexible so as to bend at the annular handle (2) when the waste container (1) is deposited on a support to place a part (3b) of the waste bag (3) in recumbent position beside the annular handle (2), wholly or partly closed by the handle.
