. 0 I in r 7 i e L v h 1088-85. CLOSET-PATENTEDNOV 1870 v "REassE AEa A. OOWELL, or CLEVELAND, oHIo;
Letters Patent No. 108,885, dated November 1, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN EARTH-CLQSETS.
The Schedule referred to in these matters latsnt and making part of the lame.
I, RENSSELAER A. Oownnp, of Cleveland, in the conntyof Ouyahoga andState of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Earth-Closet, of which the following his specification.
The nature of this invention relates to an carthcloset, which is operated by the raising and lowering of the lid-which covers the seat, and consists of devices so constructed and operated as to make a very simple and cheap commode.
The hopper for. containing the earth ismade detachable, so that it canbe taken oh" and removed to be.v .filled with earth, thus avoiding raising dust in a rooni.
Figure 1 is a planview, with top removed.
' Figure 2 is a vertical section fi'om front to'rear.
Figure 3 is a detached view of the device for striking and scattering the earth.
Figure 4 is a vertical section crosswise.
A is a box made of suitable size and proportions, and is provided with a lid, A, hinged at a.
The lid is connected by rods (Z d to the interior mechanism, which is operated bythe motion of the lid.
Beneath the lid is a seat, B, which ma be removed when desired to get at the interior of the box.
Placed on the box A, at the rear side, is a hopper, 0, against which the lid rests when thrown up, and forms a back to the seat. I
The hopper is made removable, being secured to the box bya hook; I
In the top of the box is an opening, 0, underneath the hopper, forming a communication with a. chamber, 1), consisting of a box, made of tin orothcr suitable material, sutiicient-l y large to hold the required amount of earth to cover a deposit.
The chamber D is secured to a cross-bar, E, attached to two upright-arms, 1* 1*, which are pivoted at their lower ends near to the bottom of the box.
The chamber D has no bottom, but there is provided an apron, g, suspended to the rear side of the chamber 1), and liesin a slanting position, and-rcsting'on a cross-bar, 72-, secured across the box, and leaving a small space open at the front side of the chamber.
Beneath the cross-bar h is a second bar, h, pivoted at t.
A wire-hook, j, secured to the cross-bar E, is intended to catch and draw the bar h back with it when the chamber D is tbrown back.
A notch, k, madein the under side of the bar h, is made to engage with a lug on the bar It, and holds it fro mrctnrning, when the chamber Dis again thrown forward, until released by a pin, 1), on the cross-bar E, which bears on the upper corner of the bar It, and prcssing'it downward, when the bar will be suddenly drawn forward by the spring 0, and cause it to strike against a strip, g, lying under the apron g, and giving a jarring motion to the apron to throw the earth oli from it, and assist in scattering it over the deposit.
"The top of the chamber D is covered over, and has an opening in it connecting it with the hopper when the chamber is thrown back, and when thechamber is thrown back-the apron g is drawn backward, and the lower end upward, so as to close the bottom oithc chamber, so when the communication with the' hopper is closed the outlet to the chamber D is open, and vice term. 7
The hopper is provided with a bottom, 8, to which is attached a rod, t, reaching up to the top, which may be let down to cover the opening when the hopperis removed for-filling The operation is'as follows:
The lid A being thrown up, as seen in dotted lines in fig. 2, the chamber D is carried backward, communication is openedwith the hopper 0, when the cham her will be filled with earth, the apron closing thebottom and retaining it in the chamber. Then, when the lid is thrown down, the chamber is again carried forward, closing the opening leading to the hopper, and,
me apron lowering, opens the bottom of the chamber D, the earth sliding down from it is deposited in a vessel in the commode; at the same time, also, the stroke is imparted to the bar h', shaking and scattering all the earth free from the apron.
I clgim as my invention I The chamber D, apron g, cross-bar E, arms F F, bars hand It, hook j, pin 1), spring 0, and strip q, when the same are combined, arranged, and operated'substantiallyas and for the purpose described. 7
