  • Rotary receptacle assembly
    Patent number: 8021172
    Abstract: A new rotary receptacle assembly comprises a frame assembly and a drum assembly journaled to the frame assembly so that the drum assembly may rotate relative to the frame assembly. Mounted to the drum assembly is at least one receptacle. A motor assembly may be mounted to one of the frame assembly and the drum assembly for imparting rotary motion to the drum assembly relative to the frame assembly. A clutch assembly disposed on one of the frame assembly or the drum assembly is coupled to the motor assembly. At least one sensor assembly is mounted on the drum assembly and operably coupled to the motor assembly via a rotation control circuit for preventing, among other things, the motor assembly from operating or changing the direction of rotation when an object obstructs the rotation of the drum assembly.
