Problems solved by technology

When the pedal is stepped on, the elastic members must be overcome in addition to the weights of the covers for moving the lift bars upward for pushing the covers away from the open upper end of the container, which requires a considerable stepping force.
After a period of time, the meshing engagement between the gear and the toothed member deteriorates and thus fails to provide the required cushioning effect.
As a result, noise o

first embodiment

[0053] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a waste container in accordance with the present invention comprises a container body 10, a cover 20, and a buffering device 30 mounted between the container body 10 and the cover 20 for buffering downward movement of the cover 20.

[0054] A base 11 may be mounted to a bottom of the container body 10. Further, a pedal 12 is mounted to a lower end of the container body 10 and spaced from the bottom of the container body 10. An opening 13 is defined in an upper end of the container body 10. Formed on an outer periphery of the upper end of the container body 10 is a connecting seat 14 that has a platform 15 on a top face thereof, with a central groove 16 being defined in the platform 15. A hole 17 is defined in each of two lateral walls delimiting the central groove 16. Further, a receptacle 18 is defined in each of two ends of the platform 15. As can be seen from FIG. 1, the receptacles 18 are located on two sides of the central groove 16 respectively....

second embodiment

[0067]FIG. 9 illustrates the invention, wherein the abutting sections 26 of the pivotal seat 21 of the cover 20 are in the form of ribs.

third embodiment

[0068]FIG. 10 illustrates the invention, wherein the abutting sections 27 of the pivotal seat 21 of the cover 20 are different from those in the previous embodiments. In this embodiment, the pivotal seat 21 includes a planar face that acts as the abutting sections 27.

[0069]FIG. 11 illustrates a third embodiment of the invention, wherein the buffering device 30 is provided on the cover 20. In particular, two receptacles 28 are defined in the pivotal seat 21 of the cover 20 for receiving the buffering device 30. Further, an abutting section 19 is provided on each of two sides of the platform 15 of the connecting seat 14 of the container body 10. A buffering effect is thus provided in a manner similar to the first embodiment.

Abstract

A waste container includes a container body, a cover, and a buffering device. The container body includes a connecting seat on an upper end thereof. The cover is pivotally mounted to the container body and movable between an open position and a closed position. The cover includes a pivotal seat for pivotal connection with the connecting seat of the container body. The buffering device is mounted between the connecting seat of the container body and the pivotal seat of the cover for buffering downward movement of the cover.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a waste container. In particular, the present invention relates to a waste container with a buffering device for buffering downward movement of a cover of the waste container. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional waste container with a buffering device for slowing downward movement of a cover is disclosed in, e.g., Taiwan Utility Model Publication No. 576427. The waste container comprises a container body, a base on which the container body is mounted, an upper ring mounted to an upper end of the container body, and a pair of covers pivotally mounted to the upper ring for covering the open upper end of the container body. Two lift bars are connected between a pedal and the covers such that the covers are pivoted to an open position revealing the upper open end of the container body when the pedal is stepped on and that the covers fall down back to their init...
