Hands free waste container

Abstract

A kitchen trash container system wherein a trash container drawer is movable within and without an enclosure, such as a kitchen sink cabinet. A latch type member is positioned at the lower portion of the drawer, activation of the latch member by a user causing the trash drawer to move outwardly with the assistance of a spring member from the cabinet along a pair of rail members. When the trash container drawer reaches it outward extent, trash can be removed or deposited in the container. Thereafter, the user pushes the trash drawer into position within the cabinet. A pulley type system within the enclosure connects the drawer to a member positioned at the rear of the enclosure to move and the drawer between open and closed positions.

1 . A hands free waste container system comprising:
 a waste container positioned on a movable drawer member within a cabinet enclosure;   a waste receptacle positioned on said drawer;   first and second vertically extending members positioned within said enclosure means;   a first pulley system coupled to said first vertically extending member;   a second pulley system mounted to a surface of said enclosure; and   a member operatively coupled to said first and second pulley systems for forcing said waste container drawer away from said cabinet enclosure upon activation of a release member by a user.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said waste container is positioned below a kitchen sink. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 1  further including a spring member mounted to a bar member formed within said enclosure. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 3  further including a coupling member having first and second ends, said first end being attached to said drawer member, said second end of said coupling member extending from said second pulley system upwardly into said second vertically extending member and then downwardly into said first vertically extending member, the second end of coupling member having a weight attached thereto.
