Abstract

The disclosed subject matter is directed to a pedal mechanism, a multilever rocker and an associated pedal type bin assembly. The bin comprises a bin having a top and a bottom, a lid pivotably attached at a top portion of a rear wall of the bin, and a pedal mechanism disposed at a bottom portion of the bin. The bin further comprises a lid manipulating member extending between the lid and the pedal mechanism and wherein the pedal mechanism comprises a pedal provided at a front portion at the bottom portion of the bin, a force transmitting system and a connecting element couplable to the lid manipulating member at a rear portion of the bin bottom portion, configured for manipulating the lid between an open and a closed position upon respective operation of the pedal mechanism, opening the lid by pulling on the lid manipulating member, wherein the pedal mechanism forms part of the bins base portion at the bottom thereof with the bin and the pedal mechanism, being a unitary structure.
