ABSTRACT
A garbage container has a housing with a rear wall, opposite side walls extending forwardly therefrom and a lid hingedly connected to the top of the rear wall and extending forwardly therefrom so as to rest on the top of the side walls in a closed position. A waste supporting platform is located within the housing and is pivotally connected adjacent its front edge to the opposite side walls for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A front wall extends upwardly from the front edge of the platform and has a top edge level with the top of the side walls in the closed position. A connecting member is pivotally connected to a rear port on of the platform and to a rear portion of the underside of the lid to cause upward opening movement of the lid to pivot the platform upwardly about its pivotal connection to the side walls with resultant forward pivotal movement of the front wall to facilitate access to the interior of the container.

Description
GARBAGE CONTAINER
Thls invention ~elates to garbage container.s o~ the kind which are general~y used for domestlc purposes.
It is well known to provide a domestic garbage container with a lid which can be opened by operation of a foot pedai. However, most garbage containers of this type do not provide sufficiently adequate access to the interior of the container as is often desirable.
i0 Is is therefore an object of the invention to provide a domestic garbage container with improved access to its interior when the iid is open.
According to the invention, agarbagecontainer has a housing with a rear wall, opposite side walls extending forwardly therefrom and a lid hingediy connected to the top of the rear wall and extending forwardly therefrom so as to rest on the top of the side walis in a closed position. A
waste supporting platform is located within the housing and is pivotally connected adjacent its front edge to the opposite side walls for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A front wall extends upwardiy from the front edge of the piatform and has a top edge evel with the top of the side walis in the closed position. A connecting member is connected to a rear portion of the platform and to a rear portion of the underside of the lid to cause upward opening movement of the id to pivot the platform upwardly about its pivotal connection to the side walls with resultant forward pivotal movement of the front wall to faciltate access to the interior of the container.
The contalner may aiso have a pedal me~ber mounted withln ~he houslng below the platform for plvotal movement about a horizontal axis inter~ediate to the front and rear S ends of the pedal member, the connecting member also being pivotally connected to a rear portion of the pedal member, and the pedal member having a front portion adjacent to the front of the housing moveable downwardly by a human foot to cause upward movement of the rear portion of the pedal i0 member with consequent upward movement of the connetcting member to effect the upward pivotal movement of the lid and piatform and forward pivotal movement of the front wall. '-One embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, of which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a garbage container in accordance with the invention in the closed configuration.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the container in the open configuration, Fig. 3 is a partially broken away and partially ;
exploded view of the container from the rear and side, Fig. 4 is a sectional view along the iine 4-4 of Fig. 3 showing one of the pivotal connections between the platform and side walls, and Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken partially along line 5-5 of Fig. 3 but showing the container in the open configuration.
Referring to the drawings, a domestic garbage container has a housing 10 with a ~ea~l~a~ , oppos~te slde wails ;4, i6 extendlng forwa~dly thereFrom and a lid 18 connected by a hlnge 20 to the top of the rear wall i2 so as to rest on the top of the side walls i4, 16 in the closed position.
A waste supporting platform 22 is located in the housing 10 at a location which is just less than half the height of the housing 10. The platform 22 extends over substantially the whole area of the interior of the housing 10 between the side walls 14, 16 and from the rear wall 12 to the front edges 24, 26 of the side walls i4, 16 respectively. A front wall 28 extends upwardiy from the front edge 30 of the platform 22 and has a top edge 32 level with the top of the side walls i4, i6 in the closed configuration. A pair of corner members 34, 36 are secured to the platform 22 and front wall 28 at opposite sides thereof for strengthening purposes. In the closed configuration, the outer surface of the front wall 28 is in the same vertical plane as the frontedges 24, 26 of the side walis 14, 16.
The platform 22 is pivotly connected adjacent its front edge 30 to the side wails 14, 16 adjacent their front edges 24, 26 by pivotal mountings 38, 40 respectively. The pivotal mounting 38 is shown in detail in Fig. 4 and comprises a bolt 42 whose shank 44 passes through an aperture in side wall 14 into threaded engagement with a nut 47 anchored in an aperture in the corner member 34. Corner member 34 can thus pivot about the shank 44. The pivotal mountlng 40 is of similar construction.
A sheif 46 ~cated bé~o~p~ ~orm 22 Ls aecured at o~posite slde edges to the side walls 14, 16. The front edge 48 of she~f 46 is ln the same vertical plane as the front edges 24, 26 of the slde walls 14, 16 and the outer surface of the front wall 28. The rear edge 50 of shelf 46 is spaced from the rear wall 12, and a back wall 52 extends upwardly from the shelf rear edge 50 to a height such that the platform 22 can rest on the top of the wall 52 when the container is in the closed configuration.
0 A shelf-like pedal member 54 is located below the shelf 46 and extends for substantialiy the whole width of the container between the side walls i4, 16 and also extends for substantialiy the whole distance from the front edges 24, 26 of the side walls 14, 16 to the rear wall 12 except that the iS rear edge of the pedal member 54 is somewhat spaced from the rear wail 12. The pedal member 54 is mounted for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis intermediate its front and -rear edges by two pivotal mountings 56, 58, similar to the pivotai mountings 38, 40, and secured in the side edges of 20. the pedal member 54 and the respective side walls 14, 16. ~-In the closed configuration of the container, the pedal -~
member 54 is substantially horizontal, as shown in Figs. 1 to 3.
A rigid elongated connecting member 60 is pivotally connected at its lower end at 62 to the rear of the pedal member 54 and is pivotally connected at its upper end at 64 to the rear underside of the lid 18. Intermediate its ends, the connecting member 60 ls also pivotally connected to the rea~ of the platform 22, th~ ~v~o~a~connectlon belng formed by the connecting member 60 passlng through a 810t 64 in the rear edge of the platform 22 and havlng transverse platform-engaging rods 66, 68 above and below the platform S 22.
In the closed configuration shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the member 54 and platform 22 are substantialiy horizontal, with the piatform 22 restinq on the top edge of shelf back wall 52, and the lid 18 is closed to qive the container a neat appearance as clearly indicated in Fig. 1.
To open the container, the forward portion of the pedal member 54 is pivoted downwardly by a foot 70 (Fig. 5) resulting in upward movement of the rear portion of the piatform 54. The connecting member 60 is thereby moved 15 upwardiy, as indicatead particularly in Fig. 5, to both open .
the iid .8 and pivot the platform 22 upwardly about pivotal mountings 38, 40 and consequently to pivot the front wall 28 forwardly, as shown particularly in Fig. 2. Access to the interior of the container is clearly facilitated by the forward pivotal movement of the front wall 28. If desired, two separate waste receptacles may be placed side by side on : the platform 22, see Fig. 2.
When the foot 70 is removed from the pedal member 54, the weight of the platform 22 and the iid 18 return the pedal member 54, the platform 22 and front wall 28 and lid i8 to the closed configuration. The closing movement may be control.ed to a suitabie low speed by a damper 76 pivotally connected at 78 at its upper end to the rear of platform 22 and at lts ;ower end at 80 to a lower part of the interlor of the rear wa;i 12, see Fig. 3.
The shelf 46 may be used for any suitable purpose, such as for example the temporary storage of old newspapers.
The advantages of the lnvention will be clear from the foregoing description of a preferred embodiment. Other embodiments will be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art, the scope of the invention being defined by the appended claims.
