摘要： A can crusher (1900), including: a support plate (1912) and a backing plate (1902); a left crush-arm (1908) pivotally secured to the support plate and including: a left flap (1924) and a left handle (1920) that extends transverse relative to the left flap; a right crush-arm (1910) pivotally secured to the support plate and including a right flap (1934) and a right handle (1930) that extends transverse relative to the right flap; and a retaining pin (1914) directly secured to the support plate. When the support plate is horizontally oriented the retaining pin extends vertically upward from the support plate and is disposed outside a horizontal sweep of the left flap and outside a horizontal sweep of the right flap. The retaining pin is configured to trap a can between the retaining pin and the backing plate when the can crusher is in an open configuration.

摘要： A can crusher (102), having: a backing plate (120); a left crush-arm (126) pivotally secured to the backing plate and having a left handle (130) and a left crush surface (128) that faces the backing plate when the can crusher is in a closed configuration (190); a right crush-arm (140) pivotally secured to the backing plate and having a right handle (144) and a right crush surface (142) that faces the backing plate when in the closed configuration; and a support plate (150). In a vertical orientation (152) the backing plate is oriented vertically; the support plate is disposed below horizontal sweeps (154, 156) of the crush surfaces; and the support plate supports a can in between the crush surfaces when the can crusher is in an open configuration (104).
