' GARBAGE-CAN.
r Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 2,1913.
Application filed June 17, 1918. Serial No. 774,192.
To all who), it may concern Be itknown that 1, WILLIAM STEWART MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lawton, in the county of Comanche and State of Oklahoma, have invented new and useful Improvements in Garbage-Cans, of which the following is a spec fication.
This invention relates to garbage cans and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
The object of the invention is to provide a can of simple structure which may be easily and readily attached to the upper edge portion of a tence, the said can having at its upper end spring supported doors which are normally held 111 closed posit-ion at the top of the can. The can is provided with an inclined bottom at the lower edge portion of which is hinged a side section which normally closes an opening in the side of the can. This side section is provided with edge flanges which normally lie against the sides of the can when the section is in a closed position. These flanges serve as guides for di1'ectin the material along the section from the body of the can to a receptacle when the said section is swung to an open position. A catch device is mounted upon the body of the can and is adapted to engage the free edge portion of the said section for the purpose of holding the same in a closed position over the said opening.
In combination with the can as above indicated a fly-trap is provided which is attached to the can 'at the upper edge of the opening in the side of the can. Thus when flies light upon the section and attempt to get at the contents of the can they will walk in an upward direction and eventually enter the trap.
In the accompanying drawing :-Figure 1 is a perspective view of the can. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a similar View taken at a right angle to the view shown in Fig. 2.
The can is made from relatively thin material preferably sheet metal, tin or iron. The can body 1 is open at its upper end and is provided at one side with hooks 2 adapted to engage the upper edge portion of a fence or other support. Doors 3 are hingedly connected with the upper edge portions of opposite sides of the body 1 and are spring supported and adapted to normally close the opening at the upper end of the body. These doors may be swung in a downward direction between the sides of the can when material is placed upon the upper surfaces of the doors. The body 1 is provided. at one side with an opening 4 and the said body is provided with a bottom 5 which is inclined downwardly towardthe lower edge of the said opening. A side section 6 is hingedly connected with the body 1 at the lower edge portion of the opening 4 and is provided at its edges with flanges 7 which, when the said section 6 is in a closed position over the said opening they lie along the sides of the body 1 and close the edge portions of the opening 4 in order that the contents of the can body 1 may not escape or flow between the edges of the side section 6 and the opening 4. The flanges 7 have inclined upper edges and when the section 6 is swung to an open position the flanges serve as guides for directing material from the body 1 along the section 6 to a receptacle which may be positioned below the said section and adapted to receive the said material therefrom.
A catch 8 of any considerable conventional form is mounted upon the side of the body 1 at the upper edge of the opening iand is adapted to engage the free edge portion of the section 6 and hold the same in a closed position. By operating the catch the free edge portion of the said section 6 may be liberated whereby it will swing in a downward direction as indicated and the contents of the body 1 may move along the same.
The section 6 is provided with an end portion 6 best shown in Fig. 2 which is adapted to encounter or impinge against the under side of the bottom 5 when the section 6 is swung to an open position as illustrated in dotted lines in the said figure. Therefore when the section 6 is swung to an open position itserves as a chute along which the material may pass from the body of the receptacle to a point comparatively remote from the same at the time that the said body is emptied of its contents.
A fly trap 9 is attached to the upper edge mg. This strap ma be of any conventional.
form and if desire maybe detached from the said body.
The operation of the can is as follows Normally the parts are in the positlon 1nd1- cated in Fig. 1 and the material to be deposited in the body 1 is placed upon the upper surfaces of the doors 3. The said doors will then swing to an open position under the weight of the said material and the material precipitates or falls into the body 1 and lodges'upon the inclined bottom thereof. The material remains in th1s condition until the side section 6 is swung to an open position when the said material slides along the inclined bottom 5 and thence along the section 6 to the receptacle which is moved under the free edge portion of the said section to receive the material. When the section 6 is in a closed position and flies light'upon the section 6 and attempt to get at the contents of the body 1 the flies will naturally walk in an upward direction and when they find it imposslble to enter the body 1 around the edges and flanges of the section 6 they will walk up and enter the trap 9. v
Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is A garbage receptacle comprising a'body havin an open top and an automatic closure there or and having an opening at its side,
said body being provided with a bottomwhich inclines down toward the lower edge of the said opening, a section hingedl connected with the body at the lower e go of the inclined bottom and provided with side flanges, said flanges being adapted to lie against the sides of the body when the section is in a closed position over the side opening, a catch adapted to hold the section in a closed position, the said section being adapted to swing to a position approximately in alinement with the inclined bottom and an extension at the edge of said section adapted. to impinge upon the inclined bottom and serving as a stop when the section is in an open position whereby the section is held in a line with the inclined bottom and acts as a chute to discharge the contents at a distance from the body.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
