GEORGE J. HANKINS, F PRAIRIE, MISSISSIPPI.
ASH-BOX.
T0 aZZ whom it may concern I Be it known that I, GEORGE J. HANKINS,
a citizen of the United States, residing at this character which will be composed of the minimum number of parts and which will be of such construction that it may be secured in the floor of the fireplace to receive the ashes and conduct the same to receptacles positioned beneath said floor.
A further object is to provide a device of this character including means which may be operated from within the house to force the ashes from the ash box to the receptacles positioned therebeneath.
A further object is to generally improve and simplify the construction and operation of devices of this character and increase the efficiency of the same, without materially increasing the cost of manufacture thereof.
With the above and other objects in View, my invention consists in certain novel constructions, combinations, and arrangements. of parts to be hereinafter more fully de-' scribed,'cla1med, and illustrated 1n the ac-' companying drawings, in which,
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my complete device in use; Fig. 2 is a plan View of the ash box, partly in section, with the plunger and plunger head in position; Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section through the ash box; Fig. 4- is a transverse sectional view on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is an end elevational view; Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view on the line 66'- of Fig. 2; Fig. 7 is a fragmentary detail view of a portion of the operating lever, showing in section, a portion of the wall through which the lever extends; and Fig 8 is areduced perspective view of the removable cover for the ash box.
Referring more specifically to the dravw ingsin which similar reference characters Application filed January 17, 1914. Serial No. 812,827.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct 1914.
designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 designates an open fire place, the floor 2 of which isyprovided witha rectangular opening 3, in which I have positioned my improved ashbox 4. The'gash" box 4 *is of rectangular formand hasits op posite ends closedby theiremovable heads 5.
The ash box'4 isalso providedwith a transversely slotted removable cover 6 andispositioned in the opening See that the top or.
upper face of the ash box is flushwith the upper face of the floor 2, whereby the ashes will drop 'nto the box through the, slots 7 in the removablecover 6. i I
Longitudinal movement of the cover 6 is prevented by the opposite ends 8 of the box 4while transverse movement of said cover is prevented by the longitudinal ribs 9" formed on the under face of said cover near the opposite edges thereof and adapted for engagement upon the seats 10 formed in the box 4 along the upper longitudinal edges thereof by decreasing the thickness of the sides of the box along said upper edges thereof.
have mounted a transverse pin 16 engaged j r J 7 lower end of the operating lever 18. F The,
in a, longitudinal elongated slot 17 in. the
operating lever 18 extends vertically in the wall of the building to one sideof the fireplaceand has its upper end bent horizontally and engaged through a suitable sleeve 19 in an opening 20 in the wall,said end projecting into the room within which the fire place is positioned and being bent to form a handle 21 by means of which the operating lever may be rocked upon its horizontal portion to reciprocate the plunger 14 and cause the plunger head 15 to force the contents of the ash box 4 through the outlet openings 11 at the opposite 'endsof the box 4, whenever it is necessary to cleanout said ash box 4. H
It will beunderstood that the interior of the ash box is preferably concaved, in. or
der that the contents of the same may be more readily forced toward the opposite ends thereof, by the plunger head 15. It will also be understood that the opposite ends of the ash box t are suitably secured to the joist 22 beneath the opposite ends of the fireplace 1 to securely support the ash box 4 in position.
WVhile I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood'that minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of parts may be made Within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing any of the ad vantages of the same WVhat is claimed is r A device of the class described comprising the combination with a fireplace, of an Copies of'thi's patent maybe obtained for ash box mounted in the floor of said fireplace and having a slotted cover through which ashes from the fireplace may pass into thebox, said box having a discharge opening in each end thereof, a plunger rod disposed through one end of said box, a plunger connected to the inner end of said rod, said plunger being normally disposed centrally of the box, and means connected with the outer end of said plunger to reciprocate the same within said box whereby the ashes may be discharged from the box through the openings in the opposite ends thereof.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
