Abstract
This invention is a lock-in device for a trash compactor assembly including a stationary compacting head and support, and a movable container spaced subjacent the compacting head for containing compacted trash. The lock-in device retains the movable container in fixed relation to the vertical compacting head by the action of first and second interlocking members, wherein when the container is locked in position subjacent the compactor the first member can engage with the second member to prevent the container from moving horizontally relative to the compacting head when compacting is taking place. The lock-in device includes first and second members formed of flat plates bent along their longitudinal length to form angled sections and are jointed to the compaction assembly so that they are engageable to prevent horizontal movement of the container relative to the compactor head.
