The other end of the string 443 is hung on the roller 45 and extends downward through the support member 48.
The roller 45 has a rotation shaft portion 451 formed to protrude from the center of both end faces in the rotation shaft direction. The first mounting groove 42 and the second mounting groove 43 have a cross-shaped connection groove portion 46 as a “bearing groove portion” that rotatably receives the roller 45, and a notch groove portion 461 through which the string 443 can be inserted.
The lid 31 has a downward projecting fixing portion 35 formed so as to surround the outer periphery of the roller 45 at a position corresponding to the roller 45. When the restoring mechanism 41 is assembled to the lid 31, the roller 45 can also be fixed by fixing the support member 48 to the bottom of the lid 31.

  The dust compression pedal 51 is formed in a plate shape extending in the horizontal direction. The dust compression pedal 51 is mounted horizontally in the opening 33 of the lid 31, is positioned below the restoring mechanism 41, and is provided so as to be able to reciprocate in the dust storage space 23 of the inner container 21 in the vertical direction. The garbage compression pedal 51 has four perforations 52 formed on the periphery so as to correspond to the four notch grooves 461. The downwardly extending string 443 passes through the dust compression pedal 51 through the perforation 52. The perforation 52 has a first vertical groove 521 on one side. The string 443 can be taken in and out of the perforation 52 through the first vertical groove 521. A hollow tubular fixing unit 47 is connected to the end of the string 443 passing through the dust compression pedal 51.

As shown in FIG. 3, when using the trash box, the trash bag 10 is mounted in the storage space 12 of the outer container 11, and the trash bag 10 is expanded by mounting the inner container 21 in the trash bag 10. The opening portion of the garbage bag 10 is fixed by the hook portion 22 of 21 and the locking portion 13 of the outer container 11. Subsequently, the lid 31 on which the two restoring mechanisms 41 are mounted is put on the outer container 11 and connected to the dust compression pedal 51.
As shown in FIG. 4, when throwing away garbage, the lid opening / closing pedal 151 exposed to the outside of the outer container 11 is stepped on with a foot, and the stepping operation force is transmitted to the lid 31 by the first connecting rod 15 and the second connecting rod 16. By doing so, the lid 31 is opened upward. As a result, the garbage can be thrown into the trash box 10. By sucking the suction cup 18 of the outer container 11 on the installation plane, the stability when using the trash can can be improved.

  After collecting the garbage to a certain amount, as shown in FIG. 5, the garbage can be compressed by the bottom of the garbage compression pedal 51 by opening the door 34 and stepping on the garbage compression pedal 51 with a foot. Since the swelled garbage is compressed and the volume is reduced at this time, the trash can can accommodate more trash. When the user lifts his / her foot and stops applying force to the dust compression pedal 51, the dust compression pedal 51 is restored to the position of the bottom of the opening 33 of the lid 31 by the restoring force of the restoring mechanism 41. At this time, the dust compression pedal 51 can be depressed again to compress the dust.

With the structure described above, the trash can of the present embodiment can achieve the following effects.
In the trash box of the present embodiment, the lid 31 is attached to one side in the short direction of the upper part of the outer container 11, so that the center of gravity when the lid 31 is opened is relatively stable and is not easily collapsed. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, since the suction cup 18 which adsorb | sucks to an installation plane is provided in the bottom face of the outer container 11, stability of the trash box at the time of use can be improved reliably. In the present embodiment, the outer container 11 and the inner container 21 constitute a container, and the number of parts is small, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  In addition, the trash box of this embodiment has the trash bag 10 mounted in the outer container 11 and the inner container 21 is stored in the trash bag 10, so that the trash bag 10 spreads in the storage space 12 of the outer container 11, Not only can it be brought into contact with the inner wall of the container 11, but also a situation can be avoided in which the garbage bag is stabbed and broken in the garbage compression process. In the present embodiment, since the outer container 11 has the vent hole 17, the garbage bag 10 pressed by the inner container 21 can be brought into flat contact with the inner wall of the outer container 11. Moreover, in this embodiment, since the opening part of the garbage bag 10 accommodated in the outer container 11 is accommodated in the hook part 22 of the upper part of the inner container 21, and fixed by the latching | locking part 13 of the outer container 11, opening of the garbage bag 10 is carried out. Exposing the portion to the outside of the trash can not impair the beauty, and the trash bag 10 is less likely to drop off.

  Since the dust compression pedal 51 is often stepped on by a human foot, dirt easily accumulates. Therefore, it is necessary to dismantle and clean in order to maintain hygiene. In the trash box of this embodiment, the large-diameter portion 472 of the fixing unit 47 connected to the end of the string 433 that passes through the dust compression pedal 51 is exposed to the outside of the perforation 52, so that the large-diameter portion 472 of the fixing unit 47 directly If force is applied, the dust compression pedal 51 can be quickly removed.

  Moreover, in the trash box of this embodiment, the roller 45 has the rotating shaft part 451 formed by protruding from the center of both end surfaces in the rotating shaft direction. The first mounting groove 42 and the second mounting groove 43 have a cross-shaped connection groove portion 46 that rotatably receives the roller 45. The lid 31 has a downward projecting fixing portion 35 formed so as to surround the outer periphery of the roller 45 at a position corresponding to the roller 45. When the restoring mechanism 41 is assembled to the lid 31, the roller 45 can also be simultaneously fixed by fixing the support member 48 to the bottom of the lid 31. Therefore, the recycle bin according to the present embodiment is not only easy to assemble, but also can greatly reduce the number of assembling steps and reduce the manufacturing cost.
