ABSTRACT:
This invention is a trash compactor for compressing trash as it is moved in a horizontal direction. The compactor includes an elongated chamber comprising a rectilinear section into which the trash is placed, a power member for forcing the trash through the rectilinear section, where the trash is initially compacted and, a curvilinear section through which the trash is pushed by the movement of trash through the rectilinear section. The curvilinear section is of sinuous or S-shape configuration and is preferably disposed in a vertical plane. Frictional engagement of the trash with the walls of the curvilinear section effects substantial compaction of the trash prior to emission for disposal. The curvilinear section includes at least two curved parts which are pivotally connected together and pivotally engaged with the rectilinear portion for varying the angularity of the curvilinear section to control the compression of the trash forced therethrough.
