ABSTRACT:
A refuse container includes a container body, lid and a pair of U-shaped handles affixed to the container body. A pair of protrusions are included on upper portions of opposite sides of the container body. Each protrusion has a corresponding hollowed portion inside the container, has openings on opposite sides and has an irregular cross-sectional shape. A camming element is inserted in each protrusion. Each camming element has camming portions with an irregular shape corresponding to that of the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion. The camming elements have keyed slots on either side. Each handle has a pair of opposing projections which include an axle portion and a keying portion. The projections extend through the openings of the container protrusion with the keying portion extending into the keyed slots of the camming elements. Each handle is adapted to being locked in a substantially vertical position by alignment of irregularities of the camming element and protrusion and adapted to being freely rotatable in other positions. Each handle also has a pair of projections facing inward to the container so as to cooperate with the annular recess of the lid when the handle is in a locked position and the lid is on the container for latching the lid to the container.
