Description

2. MüHtonnenöffner according to claim \, characterized in that a on the lever arm (7b) welded mandrel (14) is guided in the bracket (6).

The invention relates to a barrel opener with foot actuation via a lever mechanism. A

"Such a MüHtonnenöffner is known from DE-GM 82 29 130, which, however, is an expensive one Lever mechanism as well as an additional fixed on the

'' Lid of the garbage can requires a bracket to be attached. Another known from CH-PS 163471

^; The dustbin opener does not require any structural changes to the garbage can, but here the container is not opened by a lever mechanism, but by a rope.

F i g. 1 from the front,
Fig. 2 from the side,
in FIG. 3 as a section along the line AA in FIG. 1.

The bracket (6) is supported on the front edge (2) and the lid hinge (A) of the garbage can (1) and its shape is adapted to the movement space of the ceiling (3) so that it can be opened up to about 45 °. The bracket (6) consists of a front curved bracket ( 6a) and a rear straight bracket part (6b). A two-armed lever (7) is articulated in the front bracket part (6a) and a rod (9) with a foot pedal (10) is articulated to its lever arm (7a) via a compensating piece (8). The compensating piece (8) is used to adapt the circular arc-shaped movement of the outer end of the lever arm (7a) to the linear movement of the rod (9). The end of the lever arm (7b) is connected to the end of the cover lifter (12) via an intermediate hinge piece (11), the rear end of which is hinged at the cover hinge jo (4) on the straight rear bracket part (6b). The intermediate joint piece (11) compensates for the different curved paths of the articulation points of the lever arm (7b) and the cover lifter (12). At the front end of the; The lid lifter (12) is also fitted with a rod (13) which engages in the handles (5) of the lid (3). The T-shaped mandrel (i4 ) welded to the lever arm (7b) guides the lever arm (7b) in the double bracket (6) and holds the lid lifter (12) with the rod (13) up via the intermediate joint piece (11) when the barn opener from the bucket (1) is lifted.

The dustbin opener is usually located on the dustbin (1) and is only used to empty it removed by simply lifting it off.
