- At least one push bar at the lower end of which is fixed a compression plate said push bar being connected to said left and / or right lever via at least one connecting means capable of sliding the along said left and / or right lever and configured to act on said push bar under the action of said left and / or right lever so as to move it towards the ground or away from the ground, thus making it possible to move closer, respectively to move the compression plate away from the support plate from an equilibrium position in which it rests on the waste to be compacted.
- the device thus configured makes it possible to compact waste contained in a container placed under the compression plate, because of the downward thrust generated during the simultaneous lowering of the left and right levers and transmitted to the push bar or bars. to the compression plate integral with that (s) -ci. This push cuts the waste into the bottom of the container. Moreover, because of the substantially symmetrical position of the left and right levers relative to the or the push bars and their orientation opposite, the effort exerted by the user at the time of settlement is distributed in a balanced manner on the left and right side uprights, thus avoiding unbalancing of the compacting device.

- the free space defined by the lateral uprights 13a, 13b and the support plate 12 is configured to receive a container 20 containing the waste to be compacted.
- this container 20 is of cylindrical shape, the base of the cylinder defining an ellipse. It is clear that other forms are conceivable for the base. In particular, a rectangular, square or circular base would also be possible.
- the container 20 rests at its lower end on the support plate 12 and is open at its upper end 20a so as to allow the introduction of a compression plate for pressing the waste contained in the container as described in more detail. before.
- Each lateral upright 13a, 13b is provided at its upper end with a forked head 13c, 13d provided with two parallel flat teeth, the interspace between said teeth being adapted to receive the lower end of a left lever 14a or right 14b respectively, said levers 14a, 14b being pivotally attached to the left and right side pillars 13a, 13b respectively about left and right pivot axes Xa, Xb respectively, for example by means of a shaft attached to both of them ends to the teeth of the head 13c, 13d respectively.
- the pivot axes Xa, Xb will advantageously be parallel to the plane P, the plane P1 defined by said axes being parallel to the plane P as represented in FIG. 2a.
- levers 14a, 14b are offset longitudinally, that is to say shifted in a direction parallel to the axes Xa and Xb, as illustrated in Figures 2b and 2c.
- the guide element 18 may in particular consist of a hollow tubular element 18c within which the thrust bar 15 slides, said hollow tubular element being connected to the left lateral uprights 13a. and right 13b by left crosspieces 18a and 18b right respectively.
- a compression plate 16 intended to be introduced inside the container 20 as the pressure bar 15 is lowered, thereby compressing the waste contained in inside said container.
- the compression plate 16 will advantageously have an external shape and dimensions substantially identical to those of the base of the cylinder defined by the container so as to ensure a uniform compression of all the waste.
- this compression plate 16 has an outer periphery of oval shape whose dimensions are slightly smaller than those of the upper opening 20a of the container 20.
- the push bar 16 is also connected at its upper end to the levers 14a, 14b via two left connecting members 17a and 17b right respectively.
- each of the elements link 17a, 17b comprises a hollow tubular portion of parallelepipedal shape within which slides one of the levers, namely the left lever 14a inside the left connecting element 17a and the right lever 14b to the interior of the right connecting element 17b, said levers preferably having a rectangular cross section complementary to that of the hollow tubular portion.
- Said tubular portion is pivotally connected to the push rod 15 by means of an axis 17c received inside a substantially cylindrical portion 17d integral with the tubular portion, said axis 17c defining a direction parallel to the axes Xa and Xb.
- the positioning of the cylindrical portion 17d may be variable. In particular, as shown in FIG.
- this cylindrical portion may advantageously be positioned inside the push rod 15 thus limiting the dimensions of the device in the direction of the height.
- the connecting elements 17a, 17b are able to transfer the pivoting of the left and right levers 14a, 14b in a downward or upward movement of the thrust bar 15 and, consequently, of the integral compression plate 16 of the latter, thus allowing the compaction of the waste contained in the container 20.
- compression 16 is held in a raised position above the support plate 12 by the upward thrust exerted manually by the user on the handles 14c, 14d of the left levers 14a and right 14b respectively.
- This raised position releases sufficient space between the compression plate 16 and the support plate 12 to place a container 20 completely filled with waste, the waste flush to the upper end 20a of the container 20.
- the compression plate 6 is gradually lowered to come to press the top of the waste in the equilibrium position shown in Figure 2b. In this position, the weight of the compression plate 16, the thrust bar 15, the connecting elements 17a, 17b and the levers 14a, 14b is compensated by the compressive strength of the waste. It will be advantageous that such a position of equilibrium corresponds to the particular position
- FIG. 5c and 5d illustrate in particular two specific positions of the levers 14a and 14b and the compression plate 16 respectively for a moderate settlement and a relatively high settlement of the waste.
- a single connecting element is used to connect the left levers 14a and 14b right to the push rod 15.
- This connecting element is in the form of a tubular rod 19 oriented parallel to the axes left pivot Xa and right Xb and fixed on the push bar 15 so as to have a projecting portion on two opposite sides of said push bar.
