Glass crusher, for scrap glass bottles - has manually compressed spring to drive bottles against anvil inside crusher with collector bucket

摘要

The crusher consists of a casing provided with a bucket in its lower part. Above the bucket is a trough located on the ends of a pair of levers. The levers are mounted on a horizontal pivot shaft and are fitted with a counterweight. The levers are moved to a horizontal position by a foot pedal, and are then near a swivel door. A bottle can be placed in the trough when the door is open. When the door is closed, a limit stop is released, so the energy of a spring and the counterweight swings the levers upwards through 90 deg. and the trough hits an anvil and breaks the bottle. The crushed glass then falls into the bucket.
