Abstract
An aluminum can crusher of the type having a driving gear mounted on a movable axle, which is transversely disposed inside a housing, and engaged with a gear rack on the back of the vertical surface portion of a substantially L-shaped crushing plate. A substantially U-shaped handle is coupled to the movable axle to carry it to rotate. Lowering the handle causes the driving gear to move the crushing plate downward against the base of the housing for crushing an interposed aluminum can.
