Patent ID: 7750591

Claim:
An induction actuated container cover for a container body having a storage cavity and a container opening at an upper portion of said container body, wherein said induction actuated container cover comprises: a control housing, having a cover opening, adapted for mounting at said container body at said container opening thereof to communicate said cover opening with said receiving cavity of said container body, wherein said cover opening has a width defining between two sidewalls of said control housing; a cover panel pivotally mounted to said control housing to pivotally move between a closed position that said cover panel covers at said cover opening to enclose said receiving cavity and an opened position that said cover panel exposes said cover opening for communicating with said receiving cavity, wherein said cover panel has two side covering rims covering at two outer sides of said cover opening of said control housing respectively to maximize an usable area of said cover opening when said cover panel is pivotally moved at said opened position; an automatic driving arrangement, which comprises: a sensor mounted on a front portion of said control housing for detecting a target movement of a user; and an actuation unit supported in said control housing at a rear portion thereof, wherein said actuation unit comprises an actuation input operatively linked to said sensor and an actuation output coupling with said cover panel, wherein when said sensor is activated with respect to said target movement, said actuation output generates a force to pivotally move said cover panel at said opened position in a hydraulic manner that said cover opening faces towards an approaching direction of said user for allowing said user to access said storage cavity of said container body, wherein said cover opening is formed between two outer sidewalls of said control housing, wherein said control housing has two L-shaped retaining slots indently formed at said two outer sidewalls of said control housing to engage with said two side covering rims of said cover panel respectively for enclosing said cover opening.
