  • Canister Recycling Device
    Publication number: 20100252662
    Abstract: A device for crushing a spent beverage canister that comprises a first rotatable member having an axis of rotation and first and second canister engaging portions that revolve around the axis of rotation of the first member as the member rotates. The device also includes a crushing surface adjacent to the first member. As the first member is rotated, the first engaging portion engages a bottom portion of the canister wall and crushes the canister against the crushing surface so that the bottom portion of the canister wall is at least partially crushed inward. As the first member further rotates, the second engaging portion engages a top portion of the canister wall and crushes the canister against the crushing surface so that the top portion of the canister wall is at least partially crushed inward.
