Refuse receptacle with hinged support

Abstract

A street refuse receptacle or the like has an outer housing with a side door having a shelf supporting an inner container. The outer housing has a stationary portion and the movable panel or door occupies about half the circumference. The outer housing is made rigid by frame portions, including a base frame strip under the door panel. A substantially horizontal shelf is carried on the door panel, near to the bottom but higher than the base frame strip. The shelf supports the inner container. When the door panel is pivoted open to open a gap in the receptacle wall, the container is brought along. A roller is arranged under the shelf. The roller supports the container, prevents the receptacle from becoming overbalanced, and by coming against the base frame strip defines the full-open position of the movable door panel.
