Abstract
A domestic garbage bin is mounted on a holder pivotally mounted to be swung into and out a compartment. The holder comprises a manipulatable four-bar-linkage system by which the bin is adapted to be raised to a higher level position and maintained self-supported in such position. The elements of system are so designed and assembled that the same unit may readily be employed for right-hand and left-hand mountings.
Claims8
A displaceable garbage-bin holder having a support frame which is pivotably connected to a bracket means for mounting the holder onto a stationary support and swingable about a vertical axis provided at a rear side of said frame and a linkage system for the vertical displacement of the bin, the linkage system comprising first, second and third link-bars;
- said first link-bar being pivotably mounted at one end to the front end of the frame by a first journal;
- said second link-bar being pivotably mounted at one end to the front end of the frame by a second journal located below said first journal;
- said third link-bar being pivotably mounted to the opposite ends of said first and second link-bars by third and fourth journals, respectively;
- said first, second and third link-bars comprising a spacer means;
- means for suspending a garbage-bin on said third link-bar;
- and a handle for pivotting the linkage system about said first and second journals so that said third journal is displaced from a lower position to an elevated position beyond the upper dead-center of the said linkage system defined by a line passing through said first and second journals, for stably supporting said linkage system in said elevated position.
