Benefits of technology
[0009] According to the present invention, a hinged door refuse container is provided wherein the outer container, and in particular a hinged door not only is provided for access to the inner container, but carries the inner container on the hinged structure of the door. This has the salutary attribute that pivoting open the side door inherently moves the inner container from a position inside the outer container to a position in which the inner container is partly clear of the inside container and easily can be taken off the side door structure for emptying and then replaced.
[0010] According to another aspect, the hinged door structure supports the weight of the inner container on a shelf that is cantilevered on a lower part of the hinged door. This would normally risk tilting the outer container when moving the weight of the inner container outwardly beyond the normal center of gravity, particularly as in the invention where the shelf is spaced above the ground by a structural framing around the lower perimeter of the outer container. According to another aspect, the shelf is supported further by a roller support that holds the shelf and supports the weight of the inner container.
Problems solved by technology
This would normally risk tilting the outer container when moving the weight of the inner container outwardly beyond the normal center of gravity, particularly as in the invention where the shelf is spaced above the ground by a structural framing around the lower perimeter of the outer container.
This limits the extent to which the side door can open, which providing ample space for removal of the inner container from its position on the shelf of the pivoted-open side door.
This would normally risk overbalancing the receptacle.

Embodiment Construction
[0020] Certain exemplary embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to the drawings. These embodiments are examples intended to demonstrate aspects of the invention in different forms or separately. Not all the aspects are required in all embodiments of the invention, and the illustrated embodiments should be regarded as exemplary rather than limiting.
[0021] In this description, terms denoting relative directions and orientations such as “lower,”“upper,” etc., should be construed to refer to the orientation as then being described or as shown in the drawing under discussion as opposed to limitations respecting the orientation or operation of the described parts. Terms concerning attachments, couplings and the like, such as “connected” and “interconnected,” refer to a relationship wherein the elements can be integral parts of a whole, or can be secured or attached to one another directly or indirectly through intervening structures, as well as attachments that ...

A street refuse receptacle or the like has an outer housing with a side door having a shelf supporting an inner container. The outer housing has a stationary portion and the movable panel or door occupies about half the circumference. The outer housing is made rigid by frame portions, including a base frame strip under the door panel. A substantially horizontal shelf is carried on the door panel, near to the bottom but higher than the base frame strip. The shelf supports the inner container. When the door panel is pivoted open to open a gap in the receptacle wall, the container is brought along. A roller is arranged under the shelf. The roller supports the container, prevents the receptacle from becoming overbalanced, and by coming against the base frame strip defines the full-open position of the movable door panel.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The invention relates to refuse receptacle structure wherein an internal collection can is carried on a roller-supported shelf on a hinged side door of an outer holder. Pivoting open the side door of the outer holder carries along the shelf, bringing the internal collection can into an accessible position for service. [0002] A refuse collection container typically comprises a cylindrical cup-shaped structure or can, with a closed bottom and an open top. The top may be closed by a lid closure that must be removed for access, or the top may be partly covered by some form of fixture. For example, a dome top may be provided, with side drop-in opening. Some dome tops have substantially vertical sides with movable cover flaps. Other top structures are also known such as tray stacking receptacles, smokers' sand bowls for extinguishing cigarettes or cigars, funnel structures leading into the container, and other specific arrangements. [0003] A refuse colle...
