Abstract
The invention concerns a compactor for empty containers consisting of a fixed frame (1) and a mobile element (2) integral with the frame but capable of sliding inside or outside the fixed frame, and of receiving the container (12) between an upper part of the fixed element (7) forming an anvil and a part of the mobile element forming a compressing member. The mobile element can be subjected to a vertical downward force. Said force is applied on the lower part of mobile element (9) by the user's foot. Said lower part forming a pedal is located underneath the fixed frame top part to cause the mobile element (2) to slide and compress the container between the opposite surfaces of said upper parts.
Claims14
A compactor for containers consisting of a fixed frame and a mobile element, the fixed frame having an upper part, the mobile element having an upper part and a lower part, a bearing element being provided on the lower part of the mobile element,
- the mobile element being slidable with respect to the fixed frame,
- one of the containers being received between the upper part of the fixed frame and the upper part of the mobile element,
- wherein a downward vertical force applied to the bearing element on the mobile element slides the mobile element with respect to the fixed frame, compressing the one of the containers between the upper part of the fixed frame and the upper part of the mobile element.
Compression device for compressible material comprising an upper vertical tubular body and a lower vertical tubular body, said bodies being slidable into one another,
- the upper vertical tubular body having opposite upper and lower ends, both ends being of at least partially closed,
- the lower vertical tubular body having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end having at least partially closed,
- the upper and lower vertical tubular bodies each having a cooperating opening formed therein, wherein the compressible material is inserted in the opening on the upper vertical tubular body and supported on the upper end of the lower vertical tubular body wherein downward force applied to the lower end of the upper vertical tubular body slides the upper vertical tubular body downwardly with respect to the lower vertical tubular body, compressing the compressible material between the upper end of the lower vertical tubular body and the upper end of the upper vertical tubular body.
