The invention relates to a hand press for pressing a package, the hand press having a housing, which has at least one first opening for the inserting the package and at least one second opening for the disposing of the package. Furthermore, the hand press has a pressing device, which is arranged essentially inside the housing and which has a first pressing surface, and an actuating device, which is connected via a rotary shaft with at least one lever, which is rotatably mounted with the pressing device.

The present invention relates to an extrusion press (10, 20, 30) with a press cylinder (111), the press cylinder (111) being driven with an electro-hydrostatic control system (104) for a power transmission and being connected to a separate drive (120, 400) for rapid traverse, with a container (115), wherein the container (115) is connected to a hydraulic cylinder (117) for a power transmission and to a further separate drive (119, 300) for rapid traverse, with a hydraulic cylinder (101) with a locking device (103) for driving a shearing tool (102), wherein the hydraulic cylinder (101) is connected to the electro-hydrostatic control system (104), and wherein the press cylinder (111) in the power transmission and the hydraulic cylinder (101) for driving a shearing tool (102) are controlled alternately via the common electro-hydrostatic control system (104).

A soda bottle compression device, including a body to house a soda bottle therein, a plate disposed within the body to provide pressure to an outside surface of the soda bottle such that the soda bottle compresses as the soda bottle is squeezed between the plate and an inner wall of the body, and a rotating handle to allow the plate to move towards the inner wall of the body such that the soda bottle is compressed.

A free standing, portable and hand operated beverage can crushing apparatus to crush individual cans and allow them to drop into a storage container. Included is a rigid support frame that holds the angled crushing chamber where the cans are inserted. A lid is pivotally attached to the top of the support frame above the chamber. Attached to the lid is a ram that holds a roller head assembly that engages the can while the wheels on the roller head rotate across the end cap of the can as external force is continually applied to the lids extended lever arm in a downward motion causing the can to be crushed. The lever arm when raised slightly from the closed position will allow the crushed can to fall by gravity from the chamber into the receptacle that is capable of holding numerous cans.
