DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One example is shown in FIGS. resin,
Alternatively, a mortar-shaped concave portion 2 is formed at the bottom of the base 1 made of a metal material, and the concave portion 2 serves as a mounting portion for a relatively large empty container such as an empty can or a plastic bottle. . Since it is in the shape of a mortar, it is easy to be positioned and has a structure that is difficult to move even during crushing. A convex portion 3 is formed in the middle portion of the base 1 in the width direction, and the concave portion 2 is formed at a front portion of the convex portion 3. On the other hand, a mounting part 4 is also formed on the rear part of the convex part 3. The mounting portion 4 is a portion for crushing a relatively small empty container. A pressing lever 5 is rotatably attached to the rear of the base 1 by a pivot pin 6. The front end surface of the pressing lever 5 is curved (curved portion 5a), but may be triangular or straight. Further, a pressing plate 7 which is in contact with the empty container and crushes is fixed to the lower surface of the pressing lever 5, but may be formed integrally with the pressing lever. The pressing plate 7 is a mortar-shaped convex portion 8 which almost fits into the concave portion 2 of the base 1. A notch 9 is formed at the front of the pressing plate 7. The very hard spout of the plastic bottle fits. Reference numeral 10 denotes a resilient member such as a torsion spring or a coil spring that is stretched between the base 1 and the pressing lever 5 and constantly urges the pressing lever 5 in a direction to expand.

On the other hand, a fastener 11 for closing the pressing lever 5 urged in the expanding direction when not in use is attached to the front of the base 1. The fastener 11 is formed of an elastically deformable linear member made of stainless steel, a piano wire, or a spring steel wire. Both ends of the fastener 11 are pivotally attached to engagement holes 12 formed on the side of the base 1. That is, the fastener 11 is rotatably attached to the base 1. Furthermore, the central part of the fastener 11 is formed in a bent shape in a U shape (bent part 13).
When the pressing lever 5 is closed, the bent portion 13 swells toward the pivot pin (FIG. 3).
reference). In the present example, the central part of the fastener 11 is formed in a U-shape, but may be simply U-shaped as shown in FIG. However, if it becomes U-shaped, the fastener 1
It is necessary to lengthen the arm 11a from the base of
When the pressing lever 5 is closed, a gap is formed between the pressing lever 5 and the base 1. Although the pressing lever 5 can be closed, there is a danger that the pressing lever 5 may rattle up and down slightly, though slightly. However, by forming the V-shaped bent portion 13 in the center of the fastener 11, a turning radius corresponding to the bent portion 13 can be obtained, and therefore, the fastener 11
Arm 11a can be shortened. Code 14
Is a locking projection for restricting the rotation of the fastener 11 downward of the base 1.

Next, the operation will be described. Press lever 5
Is closed, the pressing lever 5 is brought closer to the base 1 against the resilience of the resilient member 10, and then the fastener 11 is rotated upward. At this time, the bent portion 13 of the fastener 11
Is pushed over the curved portion 5a of the pressing lever 5 while being slightly elastically deformed, and is positioned in the width direction of the upper surface of the pressing lever 5 and engaged therewith. At this time, the lower end of the front end of the pressing lever 5 is in contact with the upper surface of the base 1. That is, the pressing lever 5 cannot move (rotate). Next, a usage example will be described. The fastener 11 is released from the pressing lever 5, and the empty container (pet bottle) W is placed below the expanded pressing lever 5, that is, in the concave portion 2 of the base 1. Next, when the pressing lever 5 is rotated and lowered, the convex portion 8 of the pressing plate 7 comes into contact with the empty container, and the crushing operation is started. When the pressing lever 5 is lowered until it becomes substantially horizontal, the empty container W is almost completely crushed (see FIG. 5).
