Height adjustable refuse compaction and ejection system

In a material compaction and ejection system having a storage compartment with height adjustable rearward ejection means and being affixed to a supporting base, an improved body lift mechanism for displacing said compartment away from an obstructing object and adjusting said rearward ejection means to variable heights comprising:

• a. guide means immovably attached to said support base and operable in combination with said affixing means to permit limited reciprocal movement of said storage compartment from a front limiting point to a rearward limiting point along a length of said support base;
• b. power means for applying reciprocating force with respect to said storage compartment, said force including vertical and horiziontal components, said vertical component being applied at a rearward part of said storage compartment and operable to raise said ejection means to a desired height with respect to said support base;
• and
• c. connecting means from a front portion of said storage compartment to said support base, said connecting means being operable in combination with said guide means to permit said limited reciprocating movement along said guide means, said connecting means further permitting angular vertical movement of said storage compartment about an axis normal to said reciprocating movement and forward of said rearward part of vertical force application.
