ABSTRACT:
A weight indicator for use with a refuse compactor. Structure is provided for sensing the weight of refuse in the refuse compactor receptacle. An indicator is operatively associated with the sensing structure to provide an indication of the sensed weight to the user of the refuse compactor. In the illustrated embodiment, the sensing structure is operated as an incident of moving the receptacle to an accessible position. The receptacle is disposed to be pivoted by the weight of refuse therein when disposed in the accessible position and the sensor structure is responsive to the pivotal displacement. In the illustrated embodiment, the sensing and indicating structure are fluid operated and define a movement amplifier for facilitating readout of the weight indication.
