ABSTRACT:
A plastic bottle crushing device that crushes the side of a bottle in two directions at the same time. The device includes a hollow housing surrounding the plastic bottle which includes a pair of opposite spaced apart crushing members movable between an open position and a closed position that converge toward each other in a first direction. Folding panels hinged to each other and to the edges of the crushing plates move simultaneously with the crushing plates between open and closed positions to converge inwardly in a second squeezing direction which is perpendicular to the first crushing direction. Gear driven threaded members are utilized to drive the crushing plates and squeezing panels between their respective open and closed positions.
