Abstract
Abstract A refuse receptacle that compacts the refuse deposited therein and places the compacted refuse in a bag or like container. The receptacle comprises a tubular element, a cover pivoted thereto and having a compressing mechanism including a pressure plate to be moved down into the tubular element, and a bottom plate from which the tubular element can be detached and moved axially. When the bottom plate is non-displaceably connected to the tubular element the refuse is compacted, and when the bottom plate is loosened from the tubular element the refuse is pushed out of the tubular element down into the bag which is loosely passed onto the tubular element and has its bottom supported on the bottom plate.

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
In a receptacle for receiving refuse material, a tubular element, a bottom plate detachabLy connected to the lower end of said tubular element, a cover pivotally connected to the upper end of said tubular element so that it can be brought into a position in which said upper end of the tubular element is uncovered for receiving refuse, and a position in which said upper end of the tubular element is closed, an assembly in said cover comprising a pressure plate and means for reciprocating said plate in said tubular element, a collecting container fastened onto the lower end of said tubular element and having a bottom portion supported on the lower end of said tubular element, said pressure plate being arranged so as to alternatively compress refuse material in said tubular element against said bottom plate when the latter is connected with said tubular element and to move the refuse material out of said tubular element down into said collecting container when said bottom plate is loosened from the tubular element, and means for guiding the tubular element at right angles to the bottom plate upon relative movement between said tubular element and said bottom plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In a receptacle for receiving refuse material, a tubular element, a bottom plate detachabLy connected to the lower end of said tubular element, a cover pivotally connected to the upper end of said tubular element so that it can be brought into a position in which said upper end of the tubular element is uncovered for receiving refuse, and a position in which said upper end of the tubular element is closed, an assembly in said cover comprising a pressure plate and means for reciprocating said plate in said tubular element, a collecting container fastened onto the lower end of said tubular element and having a bottom portion supported on the lower end of said tubular element, said pressure plate being arranged so as to alternatively compress refuse material in said tubular element against said bottom plate when the latter is connected with said tubular element and to move the refuse material out of said tubular element down into said collecting container when said bottom plate is loosened from the tubular element, and means for guiding the tubular element at right angles to the bottom plate upon relative movement between said tubular element and said bottom plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A receptacle as claimed in claim 1, in which said means for guiding the tubular element in relation to the bottom plate consists of at least one telescoping rod having one part secured to the bottom plate and the other part of said telescoping rod fixed to said tubular element.
