Refuse bin incorporating compacting means

Abstract From the Canadian patent

This invention relates to improvements in refuse bins incorporating compacting means for domestic use, wherein the compacting plate comprises two upwardly oriented tabs which are placed in housings in the lid to be slidably associated with a control member. Catches facing opposite each other and borne by said tabs come into slides in the control member embedded in a groove in the lid. In this way, by subjecting the control member to a translation, it may, at the end of stroke be pivoted with respect to the catches in order to orient it vertically with a view to vertically actuating the compacting plate.
