ABSTRACT:
A covered container having a step-on mechanism which allows "hands free" opening of the lid of the container by stepping on a foot pad. The step-on mechanism includes a safety mechanism which prevents opening of the lid of the container unless the safety mechanism is repositioned. The preferred embodiment includes a rotatable oblong member adjacent the foot pad. The oblong member is maintained in a vertical position to block downward movement of the foot pad. To open the lid of the container, the oblong member must be rotated so that its upper end is above the foot pad and both the oblong member and the foot pad may be depressed. It is not evident, at first glance, how to release the safety mechanism, thereby making the container relatively child-proof, and ideal for disposal of possibly harmful objects.
