    Abstract: 1299240 Compressing garbage INTERNATIONAL DYNETICS CORP 16 Dec 1970 [29 Dec 1969] 59761/70 Heading B8C A garbage compaction unitcomprises a cabinet 10, a receptacle 28 for receiving garbage therein, an hydraulic ram assembly mounted within the cabinet having piston means 58 movable into and out of the receptacle 28, conduit means 36, 42 connecting the ram assembly to a source of water and to a drain for the water and valve means for selectively flowing water into and out of the ram assembly to extend or retract the piston means 58 with regard to the receptacle 28. As shown, the ram assembly comprises the piston means 58 slidable against a tension spring 74 into contact with the garbage in the receptacle by hydraulic pressure admitted through conduit 36 to an expandable bellows 68 attached to the means 58 and to a support 22. The receptacle is supported on a door 24 having a fastener 86 which is interconnected through linkage 90, 92, 96 with a similar fastener on a door 26 enclosing the valve means, such that both doors cannot be opened at the same time. The receptacle stands on a resilient block 82. In other arrangement Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown) the door 24 is respectively vertically hinged and is curved and slidable within the receptacle compartment. The garbage may be enclosed in a plastic bag within the receptacle.

    Abstract: 1,270,478. A compacting device for refuse. INTERNATIONAL DYNETICS CORP. 4 May, 1970 [8 May, 1969; 29 Oct., 1969], No. 21389/70. A refuse compacting device for automatically and successively compacting and bagging a series of refuse loads comprises a compaction ram 40 which is operated by an hydraulic cylinder 28, works in a compression chamber 10, and has a forward end of half-cylindrical form complementary to the forward end 22 of the chamber 10, an expulsion ram 58 which is located above the compaction zone 22 and which is operated by an hydraulic cylinder 59, a door 62, which is slidable, by an hydraulic cylinder 68 to close and open an outlet aperture 50 in the base of the chamber 10, and a rotatable platform 78 which is indexable about a pivot 82, by an electric motor 92 and gearing 86, 96 to place, in turn, each of the six containers 80 carried thereby to a position below the opening 50. The chamber 10 has a feed opening 24 and a hopper 26 with a photo-electric eye 132, the platform being provided with a number of coaster wheels 88. The operating cylinders 28, 59, 68 are controlled respectively by four-way valves (100, 110, 114) each cylinder being associated with a number of micro-switches which are arranged in a control circuit, Fig. 7 (not shown), so that the device functions in a cyclical fashion proceeding from one filled can 80 to the next empty can until all of the cans are filled with a slug of compacted garbage. The ram 40 reciprocates indefinitely until either the shoot 26 is empty or the photoelectric eye 132 senses no material therein and when the compacted slug of trash has reached the predetermined density and is ready for extraction by the ram 58 which descends to push the slug through the open opening 48 and into a corresponding can 80. The ram 40 also reciprocates indefinitely until the final extraction is completed and the last of the complement of cans is full and when the ram 40 is blocked in its forward movement by an obstacle within the chamber 10 preventing movement of the ram through the position B. In the latter case, a ten second time delay relay allows the ram 40 to attempt to shear, or destroy, the obstacle against a row of teeth 46. If the obstacle is destroyed the ram 40 moves forward as with a normal cycle, if not, the ram is immediately retracted whereupon it continues repeated reciprocal movement at high pressure. If, at the end of the 60 seconds the blockage is still not cleared the compaction cycle stops and a red warning light is illuminated. If, however, the obstruction is now cleared normal compaction operation proceeds. Successive sequential compactions of trash are made and extraction cycles completed until the platform 78 indexes through each container position to its starting position whereupon a re-loading operation amber light comes on. For maintenance purposes an extraction cycle may be initiated without a compaction cycle. In a modification, Fig. 8 (not shown), the door which controls the opening 50 is circular and is pivotally mounted, and the platform (78) may be driven by an electric motor (92) through pinion and ring gear 162.

    Abstract: 1,270,613. Device for automatically compacting waste material. INTERNATIONAL DYNETICS CORP. 4 May, 1970 [8 May, 1969], No. 21388/70. Heading B8C. Apparatus for automatically compacting waste material comprises a tubular steel chamber 11 of square cross-section which is closed at its rear end 17 and has, at its forward end, a discharge opening 18 closable by a gate 37 and which accommodates a ram piston 32 which has an upper row of teeth 34 and normally rests in position A, Fig. 7, where a gate defining plate 33 carried by the ram 32 closes a rectangular feed opening in the upper plate 33 of the chamber 11. A shoot 23, coupled to a flange 22 around the opening 21 and leading to one or more rubbish depositing openings, has a vertically adjustable photo-electric sensor 60. A bank of seven position-sensing microswitches S1A, S1B, S2-S6, each carrying a cam follower roller, are transversely-spaced across the top of a ram cylinder 29 and co-operate with corresponding switch actuating cams C1A, C1B, C 2 - C 6 , Fig. 2A, which are variously axially located in corresponding transverse relationships to the micro switches beneath the gate plate 33. The switch arrangement is incorporated in an electrical control circuit, Fig. 9 (not shown), which includes a fluid reservoir (57) and a high-pressure, variable displacement, pump (58) which supplies either normal, or high, pressure to one end of the hydraulic cylinder (29) through a four-way valve (56) actuated by solenoids (VR, VF). The control unit functions so that, with the gate 37 closed and a time delay of about 10 seconds after sufficient waste has accumulated on the gate plate 33 in the shoot 23, the ram 32 reciprocates backward and forward between positions A and C, Fig. 7, to pack material in a compression chamber 19 behind the gate 37. When the density of the material reaches a certain value the corresponding rise in hydraulic ram pressure stops the ram 32. Additional compression cycles of the ram 32 can be obtained, at this stage, by pressing a switch (S9). Unloading is carried out by unlatching the gate 37 and swinging it downwardly, and then placing an empty bag 65 over the discharge opening 18 whereupon the switch (S9) is pressed and the ram 32 is advanced to position D to displace the compacted mass 66 into the bag 65 which is then removed. The ram 32 is then returned to its original position A and the gate is closed for the compacting cycles to be repeated. If, during the ejection stroke of the piston 32 up to position D, the gate 37 is raised from its open position, the ram 32 is returned to its intermediate stand-by position. Also, if due to an obstruction, the ram 32 jams the rise in hydraulic pressure causes a switch (HS) to be actuated so that reciprocation of the ram 32 takes place at a higher pressure. In a modification, Fig. 13 (not shown), the gate (37) is mounted about a vertical hinge pin to swing horizontally. Fig. 10 shows the latching mechanism for the gate 37.
