Description

A Compressive bin

The present invention relates to a compression garbage can which can reduce the volume by pressing garbage with a compression means when a certain amount or more of garbage is filled in a garbage can.

2. Description of the Related Art [0002] In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in a compression garbage can including compression means inside a lid of a garbage can to reduce the volume by pressing garbage with a compression means when a certain amount of garbage is filled in the garbage can.

In the case of large-sized compression garbage cans such as industrial or business use, compression means using a power such as a motor is applied. However, in the case of a compact compression garbage cans such as a home or personal use, Compression means is applied.

On the other hand, in the case of a general compact compression garbage cans, the compression plate is directly pressed or connected to the compression plate such as the Korean Patent No. 1615322 (published on June 25, 2014) or the Korean Patent No. 12444530 (published on March 31, To compress the garbage and then manually lift the compression plate or compression bar to return it to its original position. In recent years, research has been carried out on a compression garbage can with a compression plate automatically rising and returning.

The structure in which the compression plate automatically ascends and returns uses a restoring force of an elastic member such as a spring. For example, as in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-0084735 (published on July 26, 2011) And a compression rod connected to the compression plate is protruded to the outside of the lid. When a compression rod located between the lid and the compression plate is installed to surround the spring and the external force pressing the compression rod is removed, Or when a spring is installed to connect the bottom of the compression plate and the lower end of the body of the trash can as shown in Korean Patent No. 1230755 (published on Mar. 23, 2013), so that an external force for pressing the compression plate is removed It is general that the compression plate rises by the restoring force of the spring. However, such a structure has a disadvantage that the garbage can not be inserted into the trash receptacle body without separating the lid and the compression means from the trash receptacle body.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2010-215341 (published on Sep. 30, 2010) discloses a compression garbage can which is capable of inputting garbage into a garbage can body without separating a lid or a compression means from the garbage can body. That is, in the compression garbage cans disclosed in the above-mentioned documents, the lid does not remove the lid in order to apply the swing lid to the garbage, so that the lid also serves as the compression plate. However, the compression garbage cans disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art have a lid and a rail-shaped support body on a trash container body, a sliding body slidingly moved on the support body, and a spring for supporting the sliding body on the support body. So that the risk of breakdown is frequent and the manufacturing cost is increased.

In addition, in the case of a conventional compression garbage can, when the garbage bag is installed inside the body when the garbage bag is replaced, the user may inconvenience to open the garbage bag to the inner side of the body after air is introduced into the body.

Korean Registered Patent No. 1615322 (Published April 25, 2016) Korean Registered Patent No. 12444530 (Published March 31, 2013) Korea Patent Publication No. 2011-0084735 (disclosed on July 26, 2011) Korean Patent No. 1230755 (Published on Mar. 2, 2013) Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2010-215341 (published on September 30, 2010)
