A secondary solid waste container for solid waste of an analyzer is disclosed. The secondary solid waste container comprises side walls and an impact absorbing member. The side walls comprise an upper end and a lower end. The impact absorbing member is connected to the side walls such that the impact absorbing member extends between the side walls and is spaced apart from the lower end with respect to a direction from the lower end to the upper end. The impact absorbing member is configured to absorb an impact from solid waste of the analyzer. An analyzer and a method for removing solid waste of an analyzer are also disclosed.

A can crushing and storing module has a chassis, a crushing unit, and a storage unit. The crushing unit includes a drawer, which is slidable into and out of the chassis, and a can crushing device that is mounted in the drawer.

An inductive receiving device is provided, including a main body and an actuating unit which has at least one contact portion, a processing unit and a driving unit. The main body has a shell body which has a through opening normally blocked by a blocking portion of a doorstop assembly, and when the doorstop assembly is in an opening position. The processing unit is in communication with the at least one contact portion and the driving unit, the driving unit is connected to the doorstop assembly, the contact portion transfers a pressure variation into an opening signal and transmitting the opening signal to the processing unit, as receiving the opening signal, the processing unit transmits an actuating signal to the driving unit, and the driving unit drives the doorstop assembly to swing to the opening position.

This invention includes portable trash receptacles that can be used by vehicle occupants to dispose of garbage when in an automobile, truck, boat, airplane, or other vehicle. Embodiments of the invention can be used to store other things, such as toys, papers, or snacks. Embodiments of the invention are designed to take up unused space in the vehicle, and also the embodiments are designed to be adjustable in size, to fit any vehicle. Some embodiments of the invention also include a roll-top lid, and other embodiments are made of clear material, so that the user can see their contents. Still other embodiments include side compartments, to make them multifunctional. Embodiments contain modifications such as liners, making them easier to clean. The invention also includes a method for vehicle occupants to dispose of trash.

A compressible trash receptacle includes a frame, a plunger section operably coupled to the frame wherein the plunger section is disposed partially exterior of the frame, and a trash-receiving section detachably connected to the frame and in communication with the plunger section. In this manner, when no external force acts on the plunger section, the plunger section rests at an equilibrium position disposed partially exterior of the trash-receiving section. Advantageously, when an external force acts on the plunger section, the plunger section moves to a tensioned position disposed partially interior of the trash-receiving section.

A waste-receiving system positioned inside a cabinet can include a radar sensor and a proximity sensor to detect movement or the presence of an individual to determine whether to automatically move the waste-receiving system from a retracted or closed position inside the cabinet to an open or extended position that is at least partially outside the cabinet. For example, the radar sensor may be positioned to emit signals underneath the waste-receiving system. In response to the detection of an object, the waste-receiving system may move to an open or extended position. In response to the proximity sensor not detecting an object once the waste-receiving system is in the open or extended position, the waste-receiving system may move to a closed or retracted position.

A collar for mounting a container between laterally spaced runners of a retractable container apparatus. The collar includes a body portion and two wing portions. The wing portions are provided to opposing lateral sides of the body. Each wing portion includes a snap fit connector configured to connect directly or indirectly to a respective runner in a snap fit connection. The body portion at least partly defines an opening configured, in use, to receive the container so that the container is supported between the runners.
