Abstract (en)
A can disposal apparatus and method for disposing a wasted can, wherein the can is put into the gap between first and second press portions which are relatively movable toward and away from each other, and is supported by a supporting portion of a support plate which is positioned between both press portions at a level above the lower ends of both press portions. The pressing is effected by the relative movement between both press portions. Since the can is supported by the supporting portion of the support pate positioned above the lower ends of both press portions, the can is pressed without substantially leaving non-pressed portion. The support plate is suitably retracted during the pressing. In one form of the invention, the support plate is swung downward away from the lower ends of the pres portions so that the support plate does never move into a space behind the moving press portion. In another form, a spring is provided on the moving pres portion so as to move together with this pres portion. When an abnormally heavy load is applied to the press portion, the spring is compressed to absorb the load, thereby protecting the driving system for driving the moving press portion. <IMAGE>
