GARBAGE RECEP'I'ACLE.
Application fileduSeptember 26, 1919. Serial No. 326,561.
'1 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LUTHER WV. KNEIPLE,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Garbage Receptacles, whereof the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
My invention relates to receptacles for garbage, or other refuse, of the class con structed and arranged to be supported by a vertical fence or wall and adapted to re ceive garbage upon one side of such support and discharge it'upon theopposite side.
As hereinafter described, my invention includes a metallic receptacle of rectangular cross section, tiltably mounted in a rectangular frame, conveniently secured upon the discharge side of the supporting fence or wall; having means to limit the tilting movement of said receptacle in both directions, and a lid which is hinged independently of said receptacle but adapted to cover the same when in normal position. My invention includes the various novel features of construction and arrangement hereinafter more definitely specified.
In said drawing; Fig. I is an elevation of an embodiment of my invention as seen from the discharge side thereof Fig. II is a vertical sectional view of said device, showing the receptacle in full lines in'normal position and in dotted lines in the position to discharge its contents.
Fig. III is a perspective view of one of the stationary hinge plates shown attachedto the rectangular receptacle frame in Fig. I.
Fig. IV is a perspective view of one of the combination hinge and stop plates shown attached to the receptacle in Fig. II.
In said figures; 1 indicates the vertical support aforesaid, for instance, the back fence of a dwelling yard. The rectangular frame 2 is conveniently secured upon the outer, alley side, of said fence 1 and is indicated as formed of four primarily separate pieces of wood, mitered at their junctions to form a rectangle; however, it is to be understood that a suitable frame may be formedof pressed sheet metal or cast metal,
and, in any case, may be secured upon the inner side of the supporting fence or wall. The fence 1 has an opening 3 through it of the configuration of the rectangular opening 4: in said frame 2 and the latter has the hinge plates 5 secured thereon, conveniently by the screws 6, so as to present therespective pintles 7 in horizontal axial alinement in engagement with complementary sockets in the plates 8 which are secured, conveniently by the rivets 9, upon the opposite sides of the receptacle 10. V
Said receptacle 10 is conveniently formed as a rectangular can of sheet metal, preferably galvanized iron, adapted to fit loosely through said openings 3 and 4. When in normal, position, as shown in full lines in Fig. II, the weight of said receptacle 10 tends to 'overbalance it inwardly with respect to said fence 1 and I provide said receptacle with the upwardly extending flange 12 adapted to bear upon saidframe 2, at the top thereof, to limit the inward movement of said receptacle. I also prefer to provide said hinge plates 8 on the receptacle 10 with stop members 14 respectively turned outwardly so as to come in contact with the inner side of said fence 1 when receptacle is tilted to the discharge position as ind cated in dotted lines in Fig. II. I find it convenient to provide the rear wall of said receptacle with the handle 15 to facilitate its tilting movement.
Said plates 8, which are of comparatively thick metal and rigid, thus not only serve to reinforce the thin flexible side walls of said receptacle 10, but also serve to prevent said side walls from rubbing against the sides of said opening 4., and thus prevent wear and consequent rusting of the galvanized surfaces of said receptacle, and thereby prolong the life of the latter.
Although I prefer to employ the combination hinge and stop plates 8 above described, because they afford a desirable reinforce ment for the lower portion of the receptacle 10; it is to be understood that the hinge and stop elements thereof may be formed 'by separate pieces of metal suitably secured upon said receptacle 10.
The upper edges 16 of the side walls of said receptacle 10 are sloped, as indicated in Fig. II, so that said receptacle may tilt through said openings 3 and t Without llldliing the latter of such height as would be required if said edges were at right angles to V the front and rear walls of said receptacle. Of course, for that purpose, said upper edges might preferably be made arcual with reference to the axis-of said pintles 7 upon which the receptacle turns. However, I prefer to make said edges straight, as indicated in gravitate to the position shown in said figure. Said lid is provided with the hinges 19 at its rear-edge, having means securing them in stationary relation with said frame 2, so that said lid may beraised to deposit garbage in said receptacle 1( but normally gravitates to fit the latter tightly in accordance with the usual municipal regulations.
Although I find it convenient to make said receptacle 10 of two pieces of galvanized iron which are soldered together, so as to render said receptacle liquid tight; one of said pieces forming the back and bottom wallsand somewhat heavier than the other piece which forms the side and front walls; it is to be understood that such a receptacle may be made in any convenient way and of any suitable material.
Therefore, I do not desire to limit myself to the precise details of construction and arrangement herein set forth, as it is obvious that various modifications may be made therein without departing from the essential features of my invention as defined in the appended claims. 7
I claim: 1
1. In a refuse holder; the combination with a supporting frame having a rectangular opening, and'adapted to be secured upon a vertical fence or wall; of a pair of hinge plates secured upon opposite sides of the opening in said frame, having pintles spaced above the bottom of said opening and extending in horizontal axial alinement; a tiltable receptacle, which is a transversely rec (angular can having the top of its side walls sloped downwardly, from the rear to the front of said can, and its rear wall extending above saidside walls and forming a stop flange; a pair of combination hinge and stop plates, respectively secured upon the opposite'side walls of said receptacle, the hinge elements of said plates being at one end thereof and adapted to receive said pintles and the stop elements of said plates being at the opposite ends thereof and comprising outwardly turned portions of said plates, and the intermediate portions ofsaid plates reinforcing said receptacle; the axis of said hinge elements being rearward of the center of gravity of said receptacle; whereby said receptacle is normally maintained in vertical position by its own weight with its open top extending in ardly with respect to said supporting frame, but is adapted to be tilted outwardly and rearwardly with respect thereto to discharge its contents; a lid fitted to the sloping top of said receptacle; hinge elements for said lid at the rear edge thereof; and meanss'ecuring said lid hinge elements in stantionary relation with said fra1ne,jwhereby said lid may be raised to afi'ord access to said receptacle but is normally closed thereover by gravity.
