HOLDER FOR lREFUSE' CONTAINERS Filed July ll, 1951 INVENTOR Aunis Mokkiber.
BY ZZ- ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 5, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFlcE HOLDER FOR REFUSE CONTAINERS Annis Mokhiber, Niagara Falls, N. Y.
Application July 11, 1951, Serial No. 236,115
2 Claims.
This invention relates to refuse containers or receptacles, such as garbage and trash cans, and is more particularly concerned With devices for holding them and the covers thereof in position.
Ordinary trash and garbage cans, for example, of the outdoor type, are frequently overturned by the wind or by predatory animals, such as cats and dogs, seeking food, thereby spilling and scattering the contents. This is very annoying and irritating and requires the containers to be set back in place and the spilled contents replaced therein.
Accordingly, one of the objects of this invention is the provision of a simple and elfective device for removably securing a receptacle of the type mentioned in a xed position.
Another object is the provision of such a device which also is effective to hold the lid or cover of the receptacle in place on the receptacle.
A further object is the arrangement of parts in such a manner that the cover may be removed from the receptacle for the purpose of placing material therein while the receptacle is engaged with the device.
A still further object is the provision of a receptacle holder of the type mentioned comprising a post adapted to be secured in a vertical position with a Vertical and a horizontal bar mounted for vertical movement on the post in such a way as to engage the receptacle and its cover.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will appear more fully from the following description, considered together with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a side elevational View, partly in section, of the embodiment.
Referring with more particularity to the drawing in which like numerals designate like parts, the embodiment illustrated comprises a vertical post II, the bottom part of which is adapted to be secured in the ground at the place where the receptacle is to be secured. The post II is hollow and may conveniently be a piece of ordinary p1pe.
Within the hollow post, a shaft I2 of smaller size is slidably mounted. A knob I3 is secured to 2 the top of the shaft I2 and it abuts the top of the post II in the normal position. The knob I3 prevents the shaft I 2 from falling into the hollow post and also acts as a hand grip for moving it vertically.
'I'he post I I is provided with a long vertical slot I4 on one side through which a horizontal outwardly extending bar I5 projects and is secured to the shaft I 2, such as by welding or other suitable means.
The upper end of a vertical bar I6 is secured to the horizontal bar, substantially as shown.
The outer en'd of the horizontal bar I5 carries a U-shaped or bifurcated member I'I to straddle the handle I8 of the cover I9 of the receptacle 20.
At the ground level, a hook 2I is secured to the post I I to engage the bottom recess 22 of the receptacle, if the receptacle is provided with such a recess.
The device is used by driving or otherwise setting, such as with concrete or cement 23, the post I I in the ground with the bottom of the hook 2I level with the ground. The receptacle 2U to be secured in position is placed over the hook and the shaft I2 is elevated. These types of receptacles are usually provided with loop handles 24 on either side and the shaft is then lowered While guiding the vertical bar I6 through one of said handles. The shaft is further lowered until the bifurcated member I'I straddles the handle I3 of the cover I9. The Weight of the shaft I2 adds to the stability of the receptacle and also aids in keeping the cover in place, particularly in cases where the receptacle is overloaded and some vdownward force is necessary to hold the cover in place.
By providing additional slots, such as the slot 25, in the post, similar to the slot I4, additional horizontal and vertical bars 26 and 21 may be added, like the bars I5 and I6, respectively, together with additional ground hooks 28, to hold additional receptacles. It is apparent, therefore, that a single post I I and a single shaft I2 may be used to secure either a single or a plurality of containers.
To facilitate removal of the receptacle, a horizontal slot 29 is provided in the post I I across the top of the vertical slot I 4 and in communication therewith to receive the bar I5 and hold it and the bar I6 in the upper position out of engagement with the receptacle.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. A receptacle holder comprising a hollow post adapted to be secured in a vertica1 position, a shaft vertically movable in said post, said post having a vertical slot, and a horizontal bar and a vertical bar on the exterior of the post secured to each other, said horizontal bar being secured to said shaft through said slot, said vertical bar being offset from the outer end of the horizontal bar toward said post.
2. A receptacle holder comprising a post adapted to be secured in a vertical position, a horizontal bar carried by said post and vertically adjustable thereon, a vertical bar underlying and xed to said horizontal bar, said vertical bar having its lower end free and being oiset from the outer end of the horizontal member toward said post, said post having means for engaging the bottom of the receptacle.
