  • Automatic waste compactor drain system
    Patent number: 8640613
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an improved trash compactor using an automatic drain operation associated with the unloading placement of the compactor on the support pad. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a pad is provided with a pad stop. The waste compactor is fitted with an extending arm that operates through a mechanical connection to open a waste gate valve when the extending arm is pushed against the pad stop during placement of the compactor on the pad. The arm is spring loaded so that the valve is automatically closed when the compactor is removed from the pad and the arm is separated from contact with the pad stop.
