ABSTRACT:
A can crusher for crushing aluminum cans includes a frame member for mounting to a structure. An elongate tray member for holding objects to be crushed is coupled to the frame member. An elongate handle member is pivotally coupled to the frame member. A hammer member having a can crushing portion and a slot is slidably mounted to the frame member. A roller member pivotally coupled to the handle is disposed within the slot. A stop tab extends from the frame member to position a can directly between the hammer member and the tray member. As the handle member is moved from a first position towards a second position the can crushing portion of the hammer member is moved towards the tray portion upper surface to crush an item such as a can disposed between them.
