Abstract
A Mechanical Lid System manually operated with a crank and used to roll a full size steel container lid either to the left side or right side of a steel container in order to allow loading from either side, thus utilizing the full area of the container opening, while being able to accommodate all sizes of containers. A steel lid is mostly used to cover roll offs for normal solid waste but can also be modified with a P- Seal for hazardous liquids or waste. This new method eliminates the need to manually slide the lid to the right side or left side and also eliminates the use of cable and winch lifting systems. This system has a high degree of safety and is beneficial for all sizes of Roll-Off Containers.
Description
SPECIFICATION
I . The general character of the class of mechanical process to which the invention (i.e.
inventive idea) relates, the invention relates to a manually operable crank system for moving a full size steel lid on a roll off steel container either to the right or left side, allowing flexibility of loading from either side.

inventive idea) relates, the invention relates to a manually operable crank system for moving a full size steel lid on a roll off steel container either to the right or left side, allowing flexibility of loading from either side.
2. The nature in general terms of the articles or systems previously known or used intended to be replaced by resort to the invention and of the limitation and inconveniences which they involve.
The methods used to date for roll off waste containers is where lids only cover a portion of the bin and the slide over lid is carried out by hand. The other popular system used is a hinge system. The lid is hinged on one side longitudinally and lifted with a manually operated cable winch arranged to open the lid to a desired height and locked into place with the cable winch and/or assisted with a prop.

Figure 1 Shows the device in a horizontal position attached to the upper frame of the steel roll off container used for collecting waste materials or storage of non waste materials. The Lid depicts the guide track (13) required for the Torsion Spring Guide Arm Wheel (3) Figure 2 Depicts a front view of the rectangular Steel Frame housing the Mechanical Components required for the operation of the System. The Sprocket Chain (6) is attached to the upper portion of the frame (15) and the V-Track (8) is attached to the lower portion of the Frame. The lower portion of the longitudinal Frame (14) is attached to the Upper Frame (16) of the Roll-Off Container.
Figure 3 Depicts the Components which are utilized to roll the steel lid either left or right and are coordinated within the Longitudinal Frame. The V-Pully (5) is attached to the back side of the Sprocket (4). One Sprocket and V-Pully Unit is attached to each end of the Shaft (9) which is installed on the Container Lid. A Torsion Spring Unit is attached to the top of the Longitudinal Frame at each end (Shown on Figure 1) The Pivotal Crank (7) is Inserted into the end of the Sprocket opening (17) and when manually operated it moves the Sprocket Unit left or right, which will roll the Lid accordingly. The V-Pulley is a guide and a carrier for the Lid.
Figure 4 Another aspect of the Torsion Spring (1) is that when the Lid is forced to either the left or right side (as shown in Figure 7) the guide arm (2) catches the lid and cushions it from impacting the side of the bin. The Roller on the end of the Guide Arm (3) slides in the Track Guide (13) during the movement of the Lid to either side, preventing the Guide Arm from creating friction marks on the lid. When the Crank is operated to close the Lid, the Torsion Spring, which is already under pressure from the lid being fully opened, assists to begin the closing process when the crank (7) is operated.
Figure 5 Additionally Important aspects to the Mechanical Rolling Lid Device are the Compression Springs (10) at the ends of the Bin. These provide a means to pull the Lid tight against the top of the bin.
When the Lid is in the Center Closed Position the Tie Down Straps (18) are engaged with the end loop of the strap, being placed over the protruding Shaft (17) and the Tie Down Lever is activated, compressing the Lid and P-Seal (if installed) against the Bin.
Installed P-Seal will leak proof the Container Lid. Tie Downs on the sides (16) are also used to compress the Lid down against the Container, sealing all sides of the Container Lid. When a P-Seal is not required the lid will obviously not be leak proof or water tight.
Figure 6 An underneath view of the Steel Lid depicting the Shaft (11) with a Support Bearing in the middle, which provides stability and strength.
Figure 7 Shows the versatility of the Mechanism's controlled Lid movement right or left via the Mechanical System by simply turning the Crank (7) to any desired position.
