  • Patent number: 4391188
    Abstract: A pin-off and door closure assembly for a stationary refuse compactor which includes a packer unit having a ram for forcing refuse into a portable container through a load opening in the door thereof, the container being removably attached to the packer unit. The pin-off portion of the assembly includes an elongated pipe which, when not in use, is stored in a refuse-free compartment on the face of the ram. The pin-off pipe is transferred to its position of use across the container door load opening by extension of the ram into the container, following which pins are inserted through both sides of the container into the ends of the pipe for securing the latter into position. A hinged flap forming the forward side of the storage compartment permits the pipe to be removed from the compartment upon retraction of the ram.

  • Patent number: 4235165
    Abstract: A compactor packs waste material in an open top container which is adapted for movement inwardly and outwardly of a supporting frame. A ram unit is pivotally supported at one end by the frame with its other end being movable selectively to an extended position within the container, a retracted position above the container, and an intermediate position at the top of the container. A housing encases the ram unit and has an opening for feeding waste material into the container while the ram unit is in the intermediate position. A power unit is operatively connected to and moves the ram unit selectively to the extended, retracted and intermediate position.
