IMPROVEMENT IN SPITTOONS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,213, dated May 20, 1873 application filed February 18, 1573.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY ToNGUE, of Chicago, in the county ot Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a Spittoon, of which the following is a specification:
The object of 'my invention is to provide a spittoon in which the contents thereof shall be excluded from view, and which shall be convenient for the deposit of cigar-stubs, tobacco-quids, and other dbris which is usually deposited in a spittoon, While, at the same time, it shall be easy to clean; and its nature consists in covering the top ot the receptacle with strips of metal or other suitable material so formed as to have sharp edges on top, and so placed that the alternate smaller strips shall conceal the interstices between the larger ones, there being spaces ot' suitable size between the larger and smaller strips to allow saliva to pass through 5 and, further, in providing the receptacle with a covered hollow handle in which tobacco-quids and other substances can be put, while, at the same time, the handle is used to discharge the contents ot' the box, as hereinafter fully described and shown.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a top or plan view ot'my improvement in spittoons; Fig. 2, a section thereof on line A B, showing the construction of the covering-strips 3 Fig. 3, an elevation. y
G represents the body of the spittoon, which is made of metal or other suitable material, (in
this case of metal,) and its handle C is hollow and communicates with the interior of the box G; and it is provided with a lid, H, for the convenience of closing it and giving it a neat appearance. l L, I L, &c., represent the peculiar form of the larger metal strips, which are put across the top of the spittoon, as shown in Figs. l and 2, and fastened at their ends by solder or otherwise, to 'hold them iu place. Alternately between the strips I L are placed V'shaped strips J, and fastened at their ends in a manner similar to the strips l L, and their bases are wide enough to cover the spaces between the strips l L, and consequently conceal the interior of the box G.
Strips J and I L can be made of tin or thin metal stamped into form, soas to `be produced at small cost, and they may be provided with a metal rim and set in earthen boxes, if desired. t
As will be seen, the` tops of the strips are y
