. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY M. VCossiga citizen of the United States, residing at Enid, inthe county of Garfield and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Waste-'Receptacles of which the following is a specification.

My invention pertains to receptacles for waste paper and other refuse matter, such as.

is liable to accumulate upon the streets and other public places of a city. Similar devices are now in use in many cities, but are little else than a. metal'box in which is de' posited all manner of refuse, such as orange and banana peelings, and such boxes frequently possess all of the unpleasant f catures of garbage cans.

My device is of a simple and durable nature, can be easily emptied of its contents, and possesses valuable sanitary features.

' In the drawings: Figure 1 is a medial vertical section of m invention, with the oontainer removed. i 2 is a similar view at right angles to that s own in Fig. 1, with the container in place. Fig. 3 is a plan View of thereceptacle, with the top removed. Fig.

'4 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig.

5 is a detail, showing one of the plates 2 1n edge view.

The frame of my invention consists of four corner posts 1, preferabl formed of angle plates, and united by si e-plates 2, a front plate 3 and rear plate 4. The posts 1 are projected downwardly into supporting legs 5, which are adapted to be secured to a side walk or other suitable base. A. top liingedly secured to, the plate 4 by means of tongues 7 attached to such top and projecting downwardly into openings in said plate. The top 6 is provided with a central opening 8, normally (losed by a cover 9, hingedly secured to said top at its rear edge. Fixed to the front plate 3 is a loop 10, adapted to pass through an opening 11 in the cover, and

provided with a lock 12, whereby such cover can be held in closed osition.

Near their upper en(- s the plates 2 are bent inwardly to foi-m ledges 13, upon which are supported the rims 14 of a container or basket 15, preferably formed of wire of suitable strength. Such container conforms in general shape to that of the receptacle, and is of a suitable size to be conveniently removed from the receptacle and replaced .y

therein. At their lower ends the plates 2 are bent outwardly to form ledges 16, such plates being then bentupwardly and retlexed to formstrips 17. The lower ends of the '

plates

3 and 4 are similarly provided with' ledges 18 and plates 19. Upon thel

ledges

16 and 18 are supported auxiliary plates 20, such plates being held slidably in place by means of metal strips 21 xed to the posts 1 and bent to form ways for the edges of-such plates. When the top of the receptacle is closed the plates 20 can not be removed, but with the top 6 open or r moved such plates .can be slipped upw... out of place and `reversed in position, if desired. One or both of the faces of each of such plates can be provided with advertis ing matter, with the names of streets or other municipal notices.

A limited space is provided between the upper ends of the receptacle plates and the top 6, and the bottom of such receptacle being open, and supported at a distance from the ground, a continuous movement of air upwardly through the receptacle and basket will result therefrom. This will quickly carry off any noxious odors which may arise from the contents of the basket, and any decayed substance therein will be speedily desiccated. l

When the receptacle is in use the lid 6 is locked in closed position, and articles are dropped into the basketA 15 by raising the cover 9. The open character of the containerpermits ample ventilation therein, and in case fruit peelings or other perishable mattei' is deposited in the receptacle the odors thereof are not retained, but are quickly dissipated. Lookin the top of the receptacle in lace not on y prevents removal of the p ates 20 but also prevents disturbance or removal of the basket l5 except by those authorized to do so.

The provision of afsuitable number of the receptacles upon the streets or other public places of a city will aid greatly in keeping such places free from refuse.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent oty the United.

States, is: I

A receptacle comprising corner posts, plates connecting the corner posts together and, sovded at hex" lower portions with oumndng Ledges7 vertically disposed @guides carried by the corner post and resting at heir ower ends upon the ledges, a hingedly and detachably Conneced 'with ibs uuper ends of the rst menoned tdi-bes and :wing its edge portions projecting ovor the upper ends of the guides when the cover is in closed Qoson upon H20 zio captado.

In testimony whereof I :xx my signature in presence of two witnessed HLGJRY COSE Y.
