ABSTRACT:
A concealable trash receptacle structured to be concealed within a cabinet when not in use, and out in the open for the deposit of trash thereinto by movement of a trash holder and a front panel connected therewith. The concealable trash receptacle is composed of a base for connecting to building cabinetry, a hinge connected to the base, a frame connected with the hinge, a trash holder connected with the frame, and a front panel connected with the frame. The hinge is structured to provide a large radial arcing movement of the frame, and is located relative to the frame so that a torque is created with respect to the center of gravity of the pivotable parts so that gravity biases the pivotable parts. The front panel is in a nominally vertical orientation with the trash holder concealed therebehind when the trash holder is not in use. When access to the trash holder is desired, the front panel is released and the biasing due to gravity causes the pivotable parts to rotate on the hinge. Once trash depositing is completed, the front panel, frame and trash holder are easily rotated back to the vertical orientation.
