Plastic container compacting device

Abstract

A new plastic container compacting device, which is mainly used individually, and has as its main object to facilitate the collection of PET containers in a clean and efficient manner, by reducing their volume and the consequent benefits in the collection, transport and stowage stages thereof. Said new plastic container compacting device provides a fixed base on a straight plane (G) on which the PET container or bottle to be compacted is placed and which by means of a cap (A), the tight closures (B) and the head (D) firmly secures the container or the bottle to the device being operated. Having previously removed the cap from the latter, the operation of the lever (C) causes in turn that of the rod (E) and the latter that of the pushing piston (F), said operation results in a firm compaction resulting from the force applied in combination with the plastic submitted to it.

1 . What is claimed as patentable is a new plastic container compacting device, characterized in that it provides a fixed base on a straight plane—on which the container to be compacted is placed—and which by means of a cap and tight closures secures the container to the device being operated, as described in the Specification and Drawings attached hereto.  
     
     
         2 . What is claimed as patentable is a new plastic container compacting device, according to the preceding claim, further characterized by the operation of the lever, and the latter in turn moves a pushing piston which moves against the base of the container, as described in the Specification and Drawings attached hereto with illustrative purposes.
