<p>A bin lid opener (1) for a bin (2) having a load space which extends from a base (4) to an open top (5) and between a longitudinal spaced front wall (6) and rear wall (7). Walls (6, 7) are connected by way of opposed side walls (8). A transversely extending axle (11) is disposed adjacent the rear of base wall for supporting two axially spaced apart wheels (13, 14) to facilitate movement of the bin. A lid (15) is moveable between a closed and an open configuration in respect to the open top and is hinged about a transverse axis (19) disposed adjacent the rear of top (5). Opener (1) includes a foot operable crank (21) which is rotatably mounted to bin (2) about axle (7) and is moveable between a raised and a lowered position. A lifting assembly in the form of an interconnected first arm (23) and second arm (24) extends between crank (21) and lid (15) for moving the lid toward the open configuration in response to movement of crank (21) toward the lowered position.</p> |
