BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pedal-type garbage storage that can be installed and used in various places such as fast restaurants, stations, and parks.

0002

[Prior Art] Generally, there are various kinds of garbage containers.
For example, if it is a pedal-type garbage container,
No. 563, Utility Model No. 46-27021, Utility Model No. 52-4
As described in publications such as No. 2104, the lid attached to the top opening of the garbage container opens upwards by stepping on the pedal, and closes by removing the foot from the pedal. there were.

[0003]Furthermore, as a flap-type garbage container, for example, in a simple structure, a lid that swings back and forth via a spindle is provided at the top opening of the garbage container, and the lid can be pushed by hand to open the garbage container. A flap installed at the top opening of the garbage container is used to keep the top opening closed at all times due to the elastic force of a spring. The flap was pushed open inward against the force, and the garbage was thrown into the garbage container.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional pedal-type garbage container, the lid opens upward when the pedal is depressed, so it is not possible to place items on top of the garbage container. Therefore, the indoor space could not be used effectively. In addition, since the lid opens upward, there is a problem in that the user feels pressured each time the device is used.

[0005] In addition, in the case of the above-mentioned flap-type garbage container, when disposing of garbage, you can press the flap with one hand and push the garbage into the container (in this case, use both hands), or you can hold the garbage with one hand and push the garbage into the container. Either press the flap and throw the garbage into the container (in this case, with one hand), and in both cases, your hand will touch the flap when loading. Usually, the flaps of flap-type garbage containers that have been used for a certain period of time are dirty, and it is extremely unclean to touch the dirty flaps with your hands every time you throw away garbage. In addition, flap-type garbage containers that open upward are extremely inconvenient for disposing of garbage on a tray in fast food restaurants and the like.

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned points, and its purpose is to effectively utilize the upper part of the garbage storage, and to easily use it without feeling pressured when using it. To provide a garbage storage that allows garbage disposal to be carried out in a sanitary manner.
