<p>An apparatus for crushing articles, such as bottles, cans and the like comprises a housing (12) and a crushing chamber within the housing for receiving an article to be crushed. The chamber has a pair of jaws (16, 18) with substantially parallel, opposed contact surfaces and drive means for closing the jaws (16, 18) so that the contact surfaces apply compressive forces to an article in the chamber, the drive means being arranged to move the jaws (16, 18) relative to one another in a generally horizontal plane, whilst maintaining the contact surfaces substantially parallel to one another.</p> |
