Embodiment Construction

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a garbage-storing device 10 including a bin 11 and a cover 12 pivotally mounted on the bin 11. Referring to FIGS. 2.about.5, the cover 12 is linked to a pedal assembly according to the present invention via a linkage 13.

[0023] The pedal assembly includes a frame 20, a pedal 30 and a latch 40.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 2, the bin 11 defines an opening 14 through which a portion of the linkage 13 is inserted for contact with the pedal assembly.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 2, the frame 20 includes upper and lower plates and two side plates. Each of the side plates defines a cutout 21 extending horizontally. A slot 23 is cut into the upper plate and the side plates. A slot 24 is defined in the lower plate.

[0026] A flange 22 is formed on and around the frame 20.

[0027] The pedal 30 is formed with two ears 31. A shaft 33 is formed on each of the ears 31, and includes an enlarged head 32.

[0028] The latch 40 includes two edges from each of which a fin 41 extends and a lower edg...

Abstract

A storage device includes a bin, a cover mounted on the bin, a pedal assembly mounted on the bin and a linkage connected between the cover and the pedal assembly. The pedal assembly can be trod so as to pivot the cover via the linkage. The pedal assembly includes a frame mounted on the bin and a pedal pivotally mounted on the frame. The frame includes two side plates each defining a cutout. The pedal includes two shafts formed thereon and inserted in the cutouts. Each of the shafts includes a head formed thereon for avoiding axial escape thereof from one of the side plates. The frame includes a flange formed thereon. In an aspect, a portion of the bin is restrained between the flange and the heads. In another aspect, a latch may be used to lock the frame to the bin and the pedal to the frame. The latch includes two fins formed thereon. Each of the side plates defines a slot for receiving one of the fins or alternatively the frame includes an upper plate defining a slot for receiving the latch. Thus, the latch is retained on the frame in order to avoid disengagement of the frame from the bin. The portion of the bin is restrained between the flange and the latch. The frame includes a lower plate defining a slot through which the latch is inserted. The latch includes a hook formed on a lower edge thereof for hooking the lower plate.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001] 1. Field of Invention[0002] The present invention is related to a pedal assembly.[0003] 2. Related Prior Art[0004] Taiwanese Patent Publication No. 478516 discloses a garbage-storing device 1 including a bin 11, a cover 12 pivotally mounted on the bin 11, a pedal assembly mounted on the bin 11 and a linkage 13 connected between the cover 12 and the pedal assembly. The pedal assembly includes a frame 2 and a pedal 3. The frame 2 includes two side plates and upper and lower plates. A shaft 23 is formed on an internal face of each of the side plates. Several wedges 24 are formed on an external face of each of the upper and lower plates. A flange 25 is formed on and around an internal face of the frame 2. Two wedges 26 are formed on the lower plate. Each of the wedges 26 is formed between a pair of slits cut into the lower plate. Thus, the wedges 26 are pivotal relative to the lower plate. The wedges 26 are similar to but longer than the wedges 24. The peda...
