US Patent 10285395 Mesh lid system for a garbage can

The mesh lid system for a garbage can is a protective system for garbage cans. It provides a barrier between the garbage can and the animals on the lid of the can and around the bottom of the can—two areas that are the most likely to be targeted by animals. It also prevents the lid from being opened by the animals. The barrier is made of a metal mesh material. The lid is kept closed by one or more bungee cords that may be attached to the metal mesh material and other parts of the garbage can.
