Trash compactor.

摘要

This invention is directed to a trash compactor suitable for use in aircraft and aerospace vehicles. The compactor includes improved hydraulic power (36) and control systems (38) which provide short compaction cycle times and high compaction ratios and which has integrated means (65,72) to loosen trash containers from the supporting walls of the compacting chamber (10) at the completion of the compaction cycle so that the filled trash containers (30) can be readily removed from the compactor.
