Waste Cup Disposer A new patented cup disposer was re¬ cently placed on the market by the S. K. Novelty Company, Philadelphia. Said to be an ideal companion piece for automatic drink vending machines, the new type waste receptacle assures customers that cups are destroyed, is designed to accept cups only, not newspapers, boxes or other trash, and allows a person to dispose of cup, without getting hands or gloves soiled, by virtue of a clean bright handle conveniently placed. The overflow of soiled cups can be avoided in certain locations, and during peak periods a cup disposer will do the work more effectively than three average waste receptacles. Other features are a self-closing cover, the fact that in case partially filled cups of liquid are deposited no liquids can splash back on the user, and the fact that the cup disposer is designed to eliminate breeding areas for insects, rodents, etc. The receptacle holding crushed cups is leak-proof, requires no mechanical main¬ tenance, and is said to meet sanitation and safety requirements. The receptacle containing smashed cups slides in and out of the unit and no lifting is necessary. Overall measurements are 3714 inches by 1614 inches by 1614 inches while the re¬ ceptacle holding cups is 23 inches by 16 inches by 16 inches. Standard colors are green and red enamel.

This cup disposer, shown above in both front and side view, was recently invented by S. K. Novelty Company, Philadelphia. It is a revolutionary new type waste receptacle designed to increase used cup capacity by automatically flattening cups, and is said to be an ideal companion piece for automatic drink vending machines. Its simplified operation takes bui a second or two to complete. The handle is pulled forward to create opening for depositing cup, and, a weight swinging pendulum is activated when opening is made. After the cup has been dropped in, the handle is released, and the cup is automatically crushed, and it falls into lower container. Advantages of such a device are obvious. EXHIBITOR May 7, 1952
