Abstract
Abstract Waste material such as food waste, garbage and refuse or rubbish, paper scrap etc., is compacted and placed in a plastic bag. This is done by a plunger reciprocating within a body structure which has a compacting chamber projecting freely from one end, the plastic bag being placed over this portion of the apparatus. A rigid door is secured against the bottom of the bat and over the otherwise open end of the compacting chamber. The waste material is fed into a lateral opening and after repeated insertions and repeated operations of the plunger the compacting chamber is filled and then the bag is pushed off from the chamber in filled condition and tied.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A waste material compacting and bagging apparatus comprising: a horizontal support, a horizontal body resting on said support and having a portion projecting from one end thereof in spaced relation to said support and forming a tubular structure open at its outer end over which a bag of flexible material is applied, a door hinged to said support and closing against the bottom of the bag and tHe open end of said tubular structure thus forming therewith a compacting chamber, releasable means for maintaining the door in closed position, means for securing said releasable means in position adjacent to said bag and out of contact with said bag, said body having a lateral opening at the rear of said compacting chamber for receiving waste material, said body also housing a plunger and operating mechanism therefor to compact waste material in the compacting chamber against said door and against the bottom of said bag, said releasable means when released allowing the door to be swung to horizontal position so as to permit said plunger to force the compacted material into said bag and remove it from said tubular structure.
