UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ROBERT L. SMITH, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA.
RECEPTACLE-COVER surro'n-r.
Lacs 36a.
, Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 15, 1921.
Application filed April 5, 1920. Serial No. 371,373.
To all whom it mlag concern: Be it known that I, RoBERrL. SMITH, a subject 'of the King of Great Britain, and
-resident of the city of Toronto, county of York, Province of Ontario, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacle- Cover Supports, described in the. following [specification and illustrated in the accomlow cost and will be strong and durable.
. The principal .feature of the invention consists in the novel construction of a pair. of
supporting brackets secured to the receptacle and a detachable cover hinge supporting member and operating rod supported by said brackets, whereby the cover may be swung open by the pressure of the foot and whereby the cover and its operating connections may be readily removed from the receptacle. v J
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a receptacle and my improve cover operating device.
Fig. -2 is a reduced sideelevational view I showing the cover raised, or swung open upon its hinge.
Fig. 3 is an elevational view showing the manner of removingthe cover and coverholding device. i
The receptacle here shown 1s of a cylin- 'drical type and secured to the outer'side and in vertical alinement the one with the other, are a pair of brackets 1 having side fasten- -ing lugs 2 and a central raised portion 3.
The upper end of the raised-portion is pro vided with an extension lip 4 which bears against the wall of the can and prevents the raised portion from being bent in.
The central raised portion of the brackets is formed with a pair of angle-shaped lugs 5 which form vertical guides. A flat metal bar 6 is adapted to slide between the guide members 5 and is formed with a pair of laterally extending lugs 7 which rest upon the pin '17 in the lugs- 15 and extends upper end of the lugs 5 of the upper bracket I and limit the downward movement ofthe bar. Thelupper end 8 of thebar is bent shghtly outward and formed atthe extrem- .lty with the hinge lugs 9'.
-A metal strap 10 is securely riveted to'the cover 11 and projects over the side thereof and is formed with the hinge lugs 12, both plvotally supported'upon' the hinge pin 13 secured in the lugs 9.
A tongue 14 extends outwardly beyond the hinge and at its outer end is formed with hinge lugs 15. Arod 16, is'secur'ed' b the wardly, having a horizontally bent lower end 18.. j j
A bracket 19 is secured to'the lower end of. the bar 6. Thisis preferably formed of apiece of angle iron, having a horizontallug 20 at the topinwhich the rod 16 -is Y slidably held. The lower end of the bracket 19 ls-formedwith a horizontally arranged portion 21 which forms a foot pieceafor holding the receptacle steady if required and also maybe utilized as a handle in the replacing of the device upon the receptacle.-.
-In the use of this device the cover 11 which is flanged to fitloosely over the top of the receptacle, rests down upon the rim and when it is desired to raise the cover it is merely necessary to place the foot upon the horizontalend 18 of the rod 16 and a slight downward pressure swings the strap 10 upon ts h nge support, raising the cover as shown 1n Fig. 2 so that the cover may be moved out.
of the way. quite readily even though the person may have both hands engaged in' holding whatever is tobe placed in the receptacle. Immediately upon the release of the foot the cover falls back'into place.
When the receptacle is tobe emptied, the
cover may be picked up by the handle 22 and upon being lifted upwardthe bar 6 will slide upwardly from out of the bracket 1 and when the receptacle has been emptied the bar is simply slipped back into the'ver tical guides.
The device is extremely simple; being,
made .up of very few parts which are extremely strong in construction and will not readily become bent or get out of order.
What I claim as my invention is z- 1.- A receptacle cover support, comprising,
a vertical guide-way secured to the receptacle, a bar adapted to be placed into said guide-wayfrom the top and to slide down- 'wardly to a positive position, a member hinged intermediate of its length to the upper end of said bar and connected to the cover, a rod hinged to the outer end of said hinged member, and means for guiding said rod intermediate of its length.
2. A receptacle cover support, comprising, a pair of brackets secured in vertical alinement upon the receptacle and having vertical guideways provided with slots extending through the outer side, a rectangular bar slidably arrangedin said bracketsand hav- ROBERT L. SMITH.
