3 Claims. (Cl. 211-71 p i This invention relates to stands for garbage or trash cans, and more particularly hasreference to a garbage can stand adapted to support a pair of conventional garbage cans in side-by-side relation, in a manner to permit access to or movement of either can independently of the other.
A main object of the present invention is to provide a generally improved double garbage can stand,.characterized by its simplicity.of-construction, its efficiency when in use, its ruggedness, audits particular adaptability to support garbage cans of different sizes inthe compartments provided therefor. Y 7 Another object is to provide a double garbage can stand fabricated almost wholly from conventional bar stock, readily cut to the desired size and welded to provide a highly rigid, strong construction.
Yet another object isto provide a garbage can stand 2,931,517 Patented Apr. 5,
their upper ends to the longitudinal members 18. Fixedly connected between the mid-length portions of the members 18. and extending horizontally, transversely of the top frame to define a partition is an intermediate cross bar 26.
Supported at its ends upon and welded or otherwise fixedly'secured to the intermediate portions of the longi tudinal members 12 of the bottom frame is a fiat, wide lower cross bar 28. Welded to and projecting upwardly from bar 28 at opposite sides of the mid-length point thereof are short support plates 30. These are welded to the-undersides of the mid-length portions of garbage can support bars 32 that extend in parallel relation longitudinally of the stand. Bars 32 are offset inwardly from the opposite sides of the framing structure as seen from Figure 2, and at their opposite ends are fixedly connected to cross braces 36 that are welded at their end cross braces 36.
Centrally formed in'the bar 28 is a smooth-walled Z opening, receiving an anchoring pin 38 having a head chored'in concrete or the like.
wherein the support forthe garbage cans will extend continuously over the full length ofthe stand, as will the longitudinal, can-confining members associated with the, support.'
-A further object is to so form the support for @t-he garbage can as to not only support the cans in elevated position, but also cause the support to constitute a longitudinal and transverse bracing means for the main frame of the device. w
Another object is; to provide a garbage can stand which will be readily anchored at any desired location, a manner such as to prevent the stand from being overturned. 1
Other objects will appear from the following description, the claims appended thereto, and from the annexed at its upper end, adapted to engage the bar 28. Pin 38 may be threaded, at its lower end, for engagement in a suitable support or for insuring its being firmly an- In any event, the pin 38 is adapted to be extended into the supporting surface, to firmly anchor the stand against tilting either in a longitudinal or in a transverse direction.
- By reason of the construction illustrated and described, the double garbage can stand is adapted to support side-by-side cans C in positions elevated above the ground surface G.- Further, the cans may be of any size, that is, they could be 20-gallon cans, 31-ga1lons cans, etc.
The garbage cans, when supported upon the rack, are spaced apart by the divider or partitioning bar 26, and are supported wholly upon the support bars 32, 34. Bars 34 are extended transversely of and between bars 32 at locations particularly eifective to support the cans without danger of collapse of the structure under the drawing, in which like reference characters designate like on line 33 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the garbage can stand constituting the present invention includes a rectangular bottom frame 10 lying in a horizontal plane in contact with the ground surface G or other supporting surface. Bottom frame 10 is formed wholly of solid bar stock of square cross section in a preferred embodiment and includes straight, parallel longitudinal members 12 welded or otherwise fixedly connected at their ends to end or transverse members 14.
A top frame 16 lies in a horizontal plane, and is somewhat greater in length and width than the bottom frame. Top frame 16 includes longitudinal bars 18 welded at their ends to end bars 20. Fixedly connected between the corners of the top and bottom frames are corner posts 22 converging in a downward direction, due to the differences in the dimensions of the top and bottom frames. Medially between the opposite ends of the frames, intermediate posts 24 are fixedly connected at weight of the cans.
Further, the top frame and the partition 26 define sideby-side, upwardly opening compartments for the two supported garbage cans, the walls of the compartments being comparatively high so that the garbage cans may not be accidentally tilted or overturned.
'The construction, as'will be noted, is one in which the elevated support ledge means 32, 34 36 for'the garbage cans serves as "a longitudinal and transverse bracing for the framing means 12, 16, 22, 24. In turn, -L'-Figure. 3 is .a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view the cross bar 28 and plates 30 serve to brace the supportledge assembly as well as the bottom frame. A particularly strong though inexpensive construction thus results.
sarily confined to the specific use or uses thereof described above, since it may be utilized for any purpose to which it may be suited. Nor is the invention to be necessarily limited to the specific construction illustrated and described, since such construction is only intended to be illustrative of the principles of operation and the means presently devised to carry out said principles, it being considered that the invention comprehends any minor change in construction that may be permitted within the scope of the appended claims.
