Abstract: A can crusher and storage system is provided including a piston housing having a first face, a second face, and a periphery formed therebetween defining an interior space. The piston housing has an inlet formed in the periphery thereof adjacent the first face. A thin rectangular outlet is formed in the periphery of the piston housing between the inlet and the first face and is further situated opposite of and offset from the inlet. Next provided is a piston assembly situated within the interior space of the piston housing for crushing cans situated within the inlet upon the actuation thereof. A control assembly is provided for selectively actuating the piston assembly.

Abstract: This invention provides a two-component coating composition wherein:Component A contains a polyglycidyl ether of a bisphenol having an epoxy equivalent weight between about 170 and about 200 diluted with between about 10 weight percent and about 20 weight percent of butyl glycidyl ether; an organic thixotropic agent; a liquid polyglycidyl ether of a bisphenol having an epoxy equivalent weight between about 170 and about 210; a coumarone-indene resin having a softening point between about 40.degree. F. and about 60.degree. F.; a urea-formaldehyde resin; leafing aluminum paste; and 2-nitropropane; andComponent B contains a polyamide having a base number between about 300 and about 360; N-oleyl-1,3-propylenediamine oleate; a coumarone-indene resin having a softening point between about 40.degree. F. and about 60.degree. F.; microcrystalline silica; and 2,4,6-tris-(dimethylaminomethyl) phenol.
