Abstract
A remote-controlled system and method for transporting trash comprises a carrier with wheels, a remote box having a remote transmitter and a motor, a conveyor bar attached to at least one stand, and a pair of rails. The carrier sits on the rails and moves along the rails based on its communication with the remote box. The box has a remote transmitter and a motor component that commands the carrier to move vertically down the rails at the discretion of a user. The rails are parallel to the conveyor bar and are attached to the remote box on the conveyor bar.
Claims19
A system for transporting trash, comprising:
- a carrier having wheels, configured to hold trash;
- a pair of rails configured to receive the wheels of the carrier, to allow movement of the carrier along the rails;
- a conveyor bar, having a first end and a second end, the conveyor bar being parallel to the pair of rails and comprising a chain and a pulley, such that the pulley is at the second end of the conveyor bar and the chain wraps around the pulley;
- at least one stand joined to the conveyor bar and to the rails, the stand being configured to secure the system to an external surface and to suspend the rails above the external surface;
- a motor box joined to the first end of the conveyor bar, the motor box comprising a motor configured for moving the chain;
- a connector joined on one end thereof to the carrier and on another end thereof to the chain, such that a movement of the chain causes a movement of the carrier;
- a gate configured to slide over the rails at a perpendicular position to the rails, the gate separating a first region from a second region, the gate being configured for being opened and closed, such that when the gate is open the carrier is allowed ingress and egress between the first region and the second region;
- and
- a swivel plate disposed at a bottom of the carrier and configured for allowing rotation of the trash.
