ABSTRACT:
A hand operated can crushing apparatus installed on a vertical wall or on top of a storage container to crush individual cans and allow them to drop into the storage container using an apparatus with a housing that includes an inside channel to crush the cans between a moving piston surface and an end of the housing with the force applied by a handle that is pivotally connected to a rear end of the housing to pivot downwardly above the housing forcing the piston member to slide lengthwise in the channel. Force against the piston member is first applied through a convex cam surface extending frontwardly from a rear end of the handle member against a rotating wheel cam follower and then through a lever connected at one end to a median position on the handle and at the other end to the piston member with the connecting apparatus of the lever delaying the effect of that lever until the piston movement has moved the cam follower wheel out of range of the cam surface.
