Abstract
A device, suitable for household use, for the purpose of crushing ordinary aluminum beverage cans between a movable and a stationary compression plate. The movable compression plate moves generally parallel to a can's axis, initially engaging the can at an edge thereof to apply crushing force along one side of the can and tending to overcome the can's structural integrity. The movable plate rotates slightly as it moves through a compression stroke. At the end of the stroke the two compression plates are parallel to one another and spaced apart sufficiently to (1) make the crushed can as compact as possible and (2) to minimize the possibility of injury which might result from, for example, closing the plates on human fingers when a can is not in place. The operating portions of the device are mounted to a back plate which is sufficiently long to provide leverage to allow the device to be operated without being mounted to a surface such as a wall.
