InventHelp, America’s largest invention submission company, announces that one of its clients, an inventor from Indiana, has designed an air-powered tool that could flatten aluminum or metal cans. This invention is patented.
“Aluminum or Metal Can Smasher” would compact cans so that they would take up less space. The device would provide individuals with a fast and efficient means of crushing cans, eliminating the hassle of manually crushing aluminum or metal cans. The compactor would allow more cans to be stored in a standard-sized recycle bin, which may also promote recycling.
Aluminum or Metal Can Smasher would consist of a cylindrical device that could be produced from aluminum, steel and other components. The opening of the device would be equipped with a safety cover. The cover would open to reveal the interior where the user inserts cans. A hose connects a safety valve to a pressure regulator and an air supply. An adjustable pop-off valve would be attached to the hose with a connected chain to exhaust the air cylinder, and a separate trip lever. To use, an individual would open the safety cover and insert cans into the cylinder. The user would then close the safety cover and pull the trip lever. Once activated, air would propel a 12-inch stroke piston upwards from the bottom of the device, crushing the can against the top of the interior. After crushing is complete, a vent would release air pressure and a piston lowers back to its previous position. The user could then remove the can and place it in a recycle bin.
InventHelp® is attempting to submit the invention to companies for review. If substantial interest is expressed, the company will attempt to negotiate for a sale or royalties for the inventor. For more information, telephone Dept. 08-INY-584 at (800) 851-6030.
