Abstract

See full text

A trash can automatic lid stabilizer includes a base that is securable to the perimeter sidewall of a trash can. An arm is pivotally connected to an upper end of the base. A first magnetic coupler is disposed on an upper end of the arm. A second magnetic coupler can be connected to the lid of the trash can, such that the first magnetic coupler is configured to removably secure to the second magnetic coupler. The arm is configured to rotate away from the trash can when the trash can is rotated to an upended position and the lid moves to an open position, and further configured to rotate toward the trash can and overtop the lid after the lid returns to a closed position when the trash can is rotated to an upright position. The arm retains the lid in a closed position when the trash can is upright.
