  • Patent number: 6802481
    Abstract: The inventors present an improved rotatable multi-receptacle support device. These type devices are commonly used to house up to four circular receptacles that can be rotated about a center post affixed to the ground for the convenience of the user. The improvements made to this device by the inventors comprise improved receptacle containment by forming the receptacle housing into a basket-shaped cavity with a top ring and a plurality of adjustable chain segments hanging below. This basket shaped cavity of adjustable depth can accommodate a broader range of receptacle shapes and sizes and provides better lateral support in instances where rapid removal and replacement of receptacles is required as in home refuse collection. An additional improvement is provided by means of a second structural support overlay, in addition to the primary support armatures, which connects the outer rim of each top ring to the center post.

  • Publication number: 20030213879
    Abstract: The spinning multiple container containment rack is a rack designed to support and contain up to four waste containers off the ground in an organized manner, comprising a stationary, or a free spinning rack body which rides on an element for rotation, placed on top a vertically anchored support post. The rack body comprises a central hub to which an assembly for supporting and containing different diameter waste containers connects to outside perimeter, comprising a bracket and containment ring, radiating out in four equal places. An adjustable hanging element connects in four equal places to bottom circumference of containment ring, creating a net like basket that molds to shape of container placed into it, for complete support of bottom and sides of waste containers, leaving only the top handles of waste containers exposed above containment ring, while still allowing for free movement of containers, for easy loading and unloading of rack.
