ABSTRACT:
The receptacle includes a housing adapted to receive rubbish or the like with opposite walls each having an opening through which rubbish may be inserted into the housing. Doors are articulately mounted on each side of the housing and each is independently movable between a vertical position substantially closing the opening and a second position exposing the opening. An element is mounted on each door and extends therefrom into the housing. The element is so positioned with respect to the door and the housing such that when the door is in the second position, the element engages the housing and prevents further inward movement of the door beyond the second position. The element also biases the door towards the closed position, regardless of the position of the door, thereby tending to keep the door closed when rubbish is not being inserted. Cooperating positive stop means on each door and the housing, respectively, are effective to prevent the door from swinging outwardly of the housing. This feature prevents rubbish from passing outwardly through the door on one side of the housing as it is being inserted through the door on the other side of the housing. In addition, since each door is retained in the closed position by the element, thus forming a seal between the lip and wall, a fire within the receptacle tends to be smothered for lack of oxygen. The doors are extra long to permit larger articles of rubbish to be inserted in the receptacle. In addition, the receptacle has inclined top surfaces to prevent rubbish from being placed thereon.
