ABSTRACT:
A garbage can has two shutters, which can be made to pivot between a closed position by means of a tension spring and an opened position by means of depressing a pedal; the pedal is connected to a connecting rod up and down movable together with an actuating plate for the shutters; the connecting rod is further connected to a buffer mechanism consisting of a fixed rod part, and main body, which is movable relative to the rod part together with the connecting rod, so that the main body will move up relative to the rod part at such a speed as to counteract the tension spring, and slow down the movement of the shutters from the opened position to the closed position after the pedal is released from the depressed position, preventing the shutters from hitting the containing body too hard.
