The slow pivot device includes a slow pivot element installed between the ring and the cover. The slow pivot element includes an internal tube, an external tube enclosing the internal tube and a spring connected between the internal tube and the external tube. - Thus, rotation of the internal tube relative to the external tube exerts a torque on the spring. The spring is received in the internal tube so that an end thereof is connected with the internal tube. The internal tube is received in the internal tube so that an end thereof is connected with the internal tube. The internal tube is received in the external tube so that the other end of the spring is connected with the external tube. The internal tube includes a clip formed on an internal side thereof for clipping an end of the spring. The external tube includes a clip formed on an internal side thereof for clipping an opposite end of the spring.
- However, while the cover is opened with respect to the ring, the slow pivot element is exposed outward from the cover and the ring. The exposed slow pivot element gets dirty easily by dust or trash. After long-time-use of the garbage bin, the above discussion reflects performance effect of the slow pivot element so that the garbage bin may easily be broken.
- Accordingly, the object is achieved by providing a trash bin. The trash bin comprises a barrel and a cover means. The cover means includes a base member, a cover member and an elastic means.
- A connected element of the cover member covers the elastic means and a secure base installed to the cover member so that dust and trash would not be in contact with the elastic means and the secure base.
