ABSTRACT:
A manually operated, wall-mountable, beverage can crusher having a compact hollow housing of rectangular cross-section, a ram mounted for sliding movement within the housing, and an ejection spring secured to the rear wall of the housing and operative to urge crushed cans forwardly out of the housing as the ram is raised. The ram is raised and lowered by means of a lever arm pivoted to the top of the housing and connected to the top of the ram through a thrust link pivoted at both ends. The lever arm includes a cover plate which completes closure of the housing when the arm is lowered, and also includes a channel section which partly surrounds the thrust link for compactness of construction.
