Be it known that I, OsoAR Swnn'i, a citi- Zen of the United States, and a resident of Schenectady, in the county of Schenectady and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inv Refuse Receptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de-V scription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates `to improvements in refuse receptacles such as ash, trash and garbage cansfone object of the invention being to so construct such a receptacle that it shall be safe against fire; so that it shall prevent intrusion by animals; so that its contents cannot be accidentally spilled; so that ashes or other refuse can be emptied thereinto without discomfort to the user, and so that the closure of the receptacle may be easily opened or closed without removal, securely fastened when closed and readily adjusted when opened to facilitate the introduction of refuse.
IVit-h these objects in view the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts as here-v inafter set foi'thl and pointed'out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view illustrating my invention. Figure Q is a sectional view, and Figui'e 3 is a plan view.
l represents a can or receptacle which may be made of metal and of any desired size suitable for receiving any character of refuse, such as ashes, trash and garbage.
The can or receptacle is provided with a closure 2 which is located somewhat below the top of the receptacle and is provided with pintles 3 at diametrically opposite points. These pintles project through horizontal elongated slots 4 in the wall of the receptacle and slightly below the upper edge of the latter. The slots 4 are disposed diainetiically opposite each other and in their lower walls, notches 5 are provided to receive the pintles 3. The cover or closure is thus hinged or pivotally supported axially within the upper portion of the receptacle Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Jllll 20, 1922. v
