    Abstract: A portable can compactor of the present invention includes a housing, a chamber in the housing sized to accept aluminum beverage cans for compacting. A ram is reciprocally driven in the chamber to compact cans against a front wall or anvil of the chamber. The ram front surface is sloped relative to the anvil to reduce the amount of force needed to compact a can. A feed control includes a vane which pivots between an opened and a closed position in response to movement of the ram to prevent a second can from entering the chamber before a first can exits the chamber. The compactor is operated by a momentary-on push button switch. The switch is surrounded by a guard wall which extends around a least a portion of the push-button switch. A cut-off switch is closed by a removable feed tray when the feed tray is mounted to the compactor housing. The compactor therefore cannot be operated without the feed tray mounted to the housing. A support platform is provided to mount the can compactor over a collection or recycling bin, so that compacted cans (and residual fluids) will fall into the bin after they are compacted and exit the compactor. The support platform reinforces plastic recycling bins to substantially prevent an upper edge of the bin from bending over in response to the weight of the compactor.

    Abstract translation: 本发明的便携式罐式压实机包括壳体,壳体中的室,其尺寸适于接收用于压实的铝饮料罐。 冲压器在腔室中相互驱动以将罐压紧到腔室的前壁或砧座上。 柱塞前表面相对于砧座倾斜,以减少压实罐所需的力量。 进给控制器包括响应于冲头的移动而在打开位置和关闭位置之间枢转的叶片,以防止第二罐在第一罐可以离开室之前进入室。 压实机由瞬间按钮开关操作。 该开关由围绕按钮开关的至少一部分延伸的防护壁包围。 当进给托盘安装到压实机壳体上时,切断开关由可拆卸的进料盘封闭。 因此,如果没有将进料托盘安装到外壳上,则压紧机无法操作。 提供支撑平台以将罐式压实机安装在收集箱或回收箱上,使得压实的罐(和残余流体)在它们被压实并离开压实机之后将落入箱中。 支撑平台加强塑料回收箱,以基本上防止料仓的上边缘响应于压实机的重量而弯曲。
