Abstract
A device for crushing glass bottles and other glass containers. This comprises a rectangular housing having an intake slot at the top which directs the intake containers down an inclined plane to an abutment in the interior of the housing which defines a chute for directing the intake containers into the path of a rotating battering ram in the exhaust section of the housing where they are smashed. A frustoconical member focusses the smashed products into a collection pail for periodic removal. Flying glass is minimized by the presence of freely swinging rubber flaps across the intake path, and the angular relationships between the intake and exhaust sections of the housing.
