Paten ed Nov. 12,1918.
[1V V ENTOR.
ATTORNEY.
MICHAEL C. STEINDORF, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
ASH-SIEVE.
Application filed February 25, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MICHAEL C. STEIN- DORF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ash-sieves, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in ash sieves or ash screens for use with the ordinary domestic stove and invsuch connection it refers more particularly to the novel construction and arrangement of such a sieve or screen.
The principal object of my invention is to provide a screen or sieve in theform of a shovel which can be utilized to not only remove a portion of the ashes from the stove but at the same time separate the unburnt coal also the live partially burnt coal or coals which usually fall through the grate and are not utilized from the ash and permit of the screened material being returned to the fire box of the stove, thus conserving the heat and avoiding waste.
Another object of my invention is to provide a device of this character which is very simple in construction, durable, and ineX- pensive of manufacture,
My invention briefly described consists of a forked frame substantially oblong in shape, the two prongs of the fork terminating in a handle. The space between the prongs of the forked frame is spanned by a wire netting or screen of suitable mesh to permit of the ashes being sifted from the coal or coals. Below the netting is an ash receptacle of scoop-shape for receiving the ashes, which receptacle is pivoted at its forward end to the frame. The rear end of the receptacle is detachably secured to and supported by the frame and a means is provided whereby the rear end of the receptacle may be quickly released from the frame and the receptacle permitted to swing by gravity upon its pivotal connection with the frame to discharge the ash through the rear end of the receptacle.
My invention will be more fully understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of my invention, embodied in a fire shovel, the ash receptacle being indicated by dotted lines as when opened and swung downward.
Fig. 2 is a top or plan view of the shovel.
Specification of Letters Patent.
rammed Nov. 12, 1918.
Serial No. 218,951.
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of same, and
Figs. l and 5 illustrate the manner or mode of fastening the screen to the bottom of the frame.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the sieve has a forked-shaped frame with prongs 1-1, the prongs fitting at one end into a handle 2, the handle being preferably of wood.
' Spanning the space between the prongs 11 of the fork is a screen or wire netting 3 of suitable mesh to permit the ashes to fall into an ash receptacle 4: of scoop or shovel shape. The ash receptacle is pivotally connected by pintles 55 to the outer end of each of the prongs 1-1 of the forked frame and the receptacle is arranged to swing downward and outward from the frame as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. The prongs 11 of the frame a short distance before they enter the handle 2 are bent inwardly at right angles, then parallel to the frame but leaving their sides a little distance apart to form an oblong-shaped channel or space within which channel is arranged a hook 6 cast in one piece with a small bolt 7, the bolt 7 pivotally connected to each side of the frame as shown. Another small bolt 8 cast in one piece with a curved finger 9 is similarly connected between the sides of the frame, and a link 10 pivotally connects the hook and the finger 9. The lower end of the hook 6 traverses a small hole or opening 11 in the ash receptacle to keep it closed and in position, and when desired the hook is drawn backward by pulling back the finger 9, allowing the ash receptacle to swing by gravity to a vertical position to permit of the discharge of the ashes therefrom. This operation is performed more or less automatically by the thumb as the hand grasps the handle 2 to raise the sieve. (See Fig. 1').
The net or screen 3 is fastened to the bottom of the frame as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the ends of the wires being placed in the notches or slots 12, pressure is brought to bear upon the edges over the slots or notches and the ends of the wire are thus firmly fixed in the frame. In these figures C represents the notched prongs, B the notches with inserted wires and A the swag-.
ing or brazing down of the notches on the wires.
Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An ash sieve or screen comprising a frame, a wire netting secured to and spanning the base of said frame, and a receptacle located below the netting and pivotally secured at its forward end to said frame, combined with means for detachably supporting the rear end of said receptacle from said frame.
2. An ash sieve or screen comprising a handle, a frame attached thereto, a wire screen spanning and secured to the base of said frame, a receptacle for the ash pivotally secured at its forward end to said frame and means carried by said handle for detachably securing the rear end of said receptacle to said frame.
3. An ash sieve or screen comprising a handle, a frame attached thereto, a wire screen spanning and secured to the base of said frame, a receptacle for the ash pivotally secured at its forward end to said frame and means carried by said handle for detachably securing the rear end of said receptacle to said frame, said means consisting of a hook and a curved finger each formed on a bolt. said bolts pivotally attached to said handle.
4. An ash sieve or screen comprising a handle, a frame attached thereto, a wire screen spanning and secured to the base of said frame, a receptacle for the ash pivotally secured at its forward end to said frame and means carried by said handle for de tachably securing the rear end of said receptacle to said frame, said means consisting of a hook and a curved finger each formed on a bolt, said bolts pivotally attached to said handle, said hook and finger pivotally connected by a short link.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
MICHAEL C. STEINDORF.
