Abstract:

A cover or top or lid for a garbage or trash can wherein the cover or lid can be locked to the trash container such that the cover can not become dislodged either by a person or animal knocking the can over or by lifting the cover off the container unless a handle of any convenient form is rotated which causes a cam operated device to retract a plurality of rods which, in their extended or non-retracted position, engage under a rim which is disposed around the top opening of the container. When this handle is rotated in the opposite direction, the cam operated device causes the plurality of rods to extend under the rim thereby causing the top to become “locked” to the container.
