Abstract
Abstract A garbage bin comprises a cabinet having a pull-out rack carrying a bracket on which a rectangular frame is mounted for the suspension of a sack. The side of the frame opposite the bracket is provided with bearings for a lid which is connected by a flexible link with a fixed part of the cabinet so that, upon withdrawal of the rack, the lid is swung open. Between the bearings and the bracket the frame is provided with a pair of upwardly open channels which receive bent-over portions of the mouth of the sack when these portions are draped about the frame.
