  • Patent number: 4991913
    Abstract: A trash bin for a kitchen cabinet door, having a lid which is constantly spring biased to opened position. The lid has a central upwardly projecting plank, outwardly tapering thicknesswise for slidingly engaging the lower edge of the lintel of the cabinet front wall opening, whereby the lid causes opening of the door. By using a conventional push releasable latch on the door, the door and bin lid will automatically open, by simply pushing the outer face of the closed door, e.g. with a foot. Thus, it is not necessary to use a hand either for opening the door or the lid.
