ABSTRACT:
A retractable apparatus for holding garbage or refuse cans in an erect position includes a hollow casing implanted in the ground, a telescoping support column contained in the casing, and a head fixture attached to the support column for receiving and securing blade extensions attached to refuse cans. The casing is buried so that its upper end is substantially flush with ground level. The support column is retracted, when not in use, to a storage position contained within the hollow casing, by collapsing a number of telescopically interconnected elements which make up the support column. A recess is provided at the top of the inner surface of the hollow casing to receive and contain the head fixture in a position substantially flush with ground level. To secure refuse cans in an upright position, the support column is telescopically extended to an above-ground position. Blade extensions attached to the refuse cans are then inserted into receiving slots in the now-elevated head fixture. Locking pins are inserted through corresponding holes in the head fixture and blade extensions to secure the refuse cans to the support column. Internal friction brakes are provided at each telescopically interconnected element of the support column to hold the elements in position when extended above ground.
