Abstract
Abstract A compactor, particularly for garbage, especially for use in homes and apartment houses, comprising a tubular receptacle having at its top a pressure plate adapted to occupy a position at the upper end of the tubular receptacle, in which position the pressure plate forms a cover for the receptacle and from this position the plate is reciprocably movable into the receptacle, and a position removed from the receptacle, so that the upper end of the receptacle is uncovered, and means for pivoting the receptacle clear of a bottom plate so that compacted matter accumulated in the receptacle can be pressed out by means of the pressure plate through the lower end of the receptacle into a bag disposed over said lower end.

A compactor, particularly for garbage, comprising a support, a tubular element mounted on said support, pressing means including a pressure plate reciprocatable into said tubular element, for compacting garbage therein, a bottom plate beneath said tubular element against which the pressure plate acts for compacting purposes, means for moving said pressure plate to occupy a position close to the upper end of said tubular element, to cover said element, and for moving said pressure plate from the last-mentioned position horizontally with respect to said element to uncover the upper end thereof, horizontal pivot means arranged near the upper end of said tubular element, for pivoting said tubular element about said pivot between a first position in which the lower end of said tubular element is above said bottom plate and a second position in which the lower end of said element is swung-out laterally thereof to clear said bottom plate, whereby compacted matter accumulated in said tubular element can be pressed out of said element by said pressure plate, into a bag-like means disposed over the lower end of said tubular element.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
