ABSTRACT:
A refuse compaction apparatus adapted to be mounted upon a vehicle chassis. The apparatus is constructed as an integral unit and includes a refuse loading compartment and a refuse storage compartment. Movable longitudinally within the storage compartment is a large compaction blade adapted to move refuse rearwardly of the compartment and controllably compress it against the rear wall thereof. Located intermediate the loading and storage compartments is a unique transition mechanism adapted to cooperate with a pusher mechanism reciprocally movable within the loading compartment to cleanly transfer the refuse from the loading compartment into a position where it can be engaged by the compaction blade and moved rearwardly of the storage compartment for compaction. With this unique construction, fall-back of the refuse into the loading compartment is totally eliminated and highly efficient compaction and loading of the refuse within the storage compartment can be realized. Discharge of the refuse is conveniently accomplished by opening the end of the storage compartment and pushing the refuse therefrom, using the compaction blade.
