Storage and disposal bin for waste fatty materials

摘要

A sanitary apparatus for storage and transportation of waste fatty materials for reprocessing consists of a sealed storage bin of novel and sanitary construction. The unit consists of a fluid tight box shaped bin having an open top and tapering downward toward a closed bottom. The bin is reinforced with a rectangular angle iron frame at the bottom in which are positioned casters for support and ease of lateral movement. The bin is reinforced by a rectangular channel frame about half way up its height. The top of the bin is surrounded by a rectangular angle iron flange which supports a cover having a base flange fitting the top flange on the bin. The cover flange includes an inwardly facing channel fitting the rear flange on the top of the bin and also has locating pins which extend through mating holes in the top flange of the bin. The top part of the cover slopes downward toward the front and has a lid hinged thereon which has a pull latch and is spring loaded toward open position. The opening closed by the lid has a perforate plate or screen secured inside to screen out foreign objects in the fatty waste being poured into the bin. The locating pins on the cover have lateral holes for receiving locks to secure the cover against unauthorized removal.
