Receptacle cover

A cover assembly for a container, comprising:

• a frame, including a rail and a seal, the seal being configured to engage an opening of the container;
• a cover coupled to the frame;
• a cover support assembly including a lifting support bracket and one or more cover locks, the cover locks coupled to a first and second end of the lifting support bracket, the cover locks configured to raise and lower the lifting support bracket;
• a first opening mechanism including a first pivot and a first slide housing, the first opening mechanism coupled to the first end of the lifting support bracket;
• a second opening mechanism including a second pivot and a second slide housing, the second opening mechanism coupled to the second end of the lifting support bracket, the rail of the frame being selectively and slidingly receivable in the first and second slide housings,
• wherein the cover and frame are movable between three positions:
• a closed position which substantially covers the opening of the container and the cover support assembly is in a lowered position such that the seal is coupled to the opening of the container,
• a first open position wherein the rail is at least partially disposed in the first slide housing and is disengaged from the second slide housing, and the frame, cover and first slide housing are rotated about the first pivot to allow access to a substantial portion of the opening of the container, and the cover support assembly is in a raised position such that the seal is not coupled to the opening of the container, and
• a second open position wherein the rail is at least partially disposed in the second slide housing and is disengaged from the first slide housing, and the frame, cover and second slide housing are rotated about the second pivot to allow access to a substantial portion of the opening of the container, and the cover support assembly is in a raised position such that the seal is not coupled to the opening of the container.

A cover system for a container, comprising:

• a cover assembly including:
• a frame,
• a cover coupled to a top portion of the frame,
• one or more rails coupled to a side portion of the frame, and
• a seal coupled to a bottom portion of the frame, the seal configured to engage with an opening of the container;
• and
• one or more hinge assemblies slidably coupled to the one or more rails of the cover assembly, one of the one or more hinge assemblies including:
• a lifting support bracket,
• a first opening mechanism including a first pivot and a first slide housing, the first opening mechanism coupled to the first end of the lifting support bracket,
• a second opening mechanism including a second pivot and a second slide housing, the second opening mechanism coupled to the second end of the lifting support bracket, the rail of the frame being selectively and slidingly receivable in the first and second slide housings, and
• one or more cover locks, the cover locks coupled to a first and second end of the lifting support bracket, the cover locks configured to raise and lower the lifting support bracket such that the seal raises or lowers to engage with the opening of the container.
