ABSTRACT:
A wastebasket (10) includes a base portion (11) with an open upper end and a cover (12) pivotally attached thereto. A lever (27) is pivotally attached to the base portion (11) and carries a link arm (30) near one end thereof so that pivoting the lever (27) moves the link arm (30) upwardly and downwardly. A pin member (35) is carried by the upper end of the link arm (30) and is received in a track (39) carried by the cover (12) through an access opening (40) positioned above the pin member (35) when the cover (12) is closed on the base portion (11). The pivotal movement of the cover (12) is limited by a handle (50) which extends rearwardly from the base portion (11) to a further extent than the cover (12) when it is fully open thus preventing the cover (12) from contacting any surface which might be adjacent to the handle (50). When used with a plastic liner (53), the liner (53) may be draped over the upper open edge of the base portion (11). Fins (54) carried by the cover (12) travel in trackways (18) located at the upper edge of base portion (11) during the pivotal movement of the cover (12) to push the liner (53) away from the track (39) and pin member (35) so that the liner (53) does not interfere with the operation thereof.
