` K. F. MIDDOUR ASH PIT AND PAN Filed A112125, 192s Patented Jan. 3, 1928.
KENNETH F. MIDDOUR, 0F DES MOINES, IOWA.
ASI-I PIT AND PAN.
Application filed August 23, 1926.
The purpose of my invention is to proyide a special ash pit of simple, durable and inexpensive construction.
More particularly, it is my purpose to provide an ash pan adapted for use with said ash pit in furnaces, stoves and the like, having certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts, whereby, the pan is made particularly convenient for handlinlr ashes and for insertion into and removal from the special ash pit.
Still a further purpose of the present invention is to provide in combination with my ash pan a special ash pit bottom rear end member for coacting` with the ash pan.
lith these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of my ash pit and pan, whereby the objectscontemplated are attained, hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claims, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the ash pan.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal, sectional view of the same installed in the special ash pit.
Figure 3 is a transverse, sectional View of the same taken on the line 3 3 of Figure 2; and
Figure 1 is a sectional view of'a portion of the'rear end ofthe ash pan, showing the movable end member in Vopen position.
The inconveniences which exist in connection with cleaning ashes from the ash pit lof a furnace or a stove are well lrnown. The ordinary practice is to remove the ashes with al shovel and put them into some receptacle. This, of course, involves handling the ashes in small quantities with the consequent scattering` of the dust.
It is my purpose to provide a special ash pit and an ash pan which can be inserted into the usual furnace ash pit, and which when so inserted, will receive all the ashes falling from the combustion chamber. The ash pan may be easily and conveniently removed from the ash pit in such manner as to handle the ashes in one body with a'minimum disturbance of them.
In the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate generally the combustion chamber of a. furnace 11. Below the combustion chamber is the usual ash pit 12. At the front of the furnace is the ash pit door 13.
Serial No. 130,953.
I preferably use my ash pan in connection with a special ash pit, which I will now describe. This pit has the bottom member 2T, the rear wall member 28 curved upwardly and rearwardly therefrom and the side wall members 32. I have provided above the side wall members 32 and rear wall member 28 of the special ash pitan inclined deflector plate or plates 12, which slightly overhang the walls 32 and 28 at the sides and back and are inclined upwardly and toward the side walls and back of the usual furnace ash pit, so as to form a guide or slide, so that all the ashes falling from the combustion chamber will into the pan', when it is in position in the special pit or into the special pit when Vthe pan is out. This special ash pit may be builtI into the furnace or installed after the original construction.
My improved ash pan indicated generally by the character A is shown in perspective in Figure 1. It has an ordinary flat bottom 1d, a vertical, front wall 15, provided on the outside with ay suitable handle 16, `vertical side walls 17 and a rear wall 18.
The rear ends of the side walls 17 are beveled as shown at 19, being inclined from their lower edges upwardly and rearwardly.
The rear end wall 18 is hinged at its lower edge, as at 20, to the rear end of the bottom 1&1, so as to permit the end wall 18 to be swung from horizontal position, forming an extension of the bottom 14,- to position as shown in Figure 1, inclinedy upwardly and rearwardly from the bottom.
at its ends, the rear wall member 18 has -he side wings 21 adapted to swing just inside the walls 17. The side wings 21 are onnected by a rod 22. Pivoted to the rod 22, preferably about midway of its ends.7 is a catch arm 23, havingl at .its free end a hook member 211, and in its lower edge between its ends the notch 25.
The notch and hook member are designed to coact with a rod 26, extending` transversely of the ash pan between the side walls 17.
In the use of my improved ash pan, let it be assumed that the rear wall member 18 is in raised position, and that it is held there by the catch arm 23 with the rod 26 received in the notch 25, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
When it is desired to talre out the ashes. the door 13 is opened, and the handle 16 is grasped for withdrawing the pan.
CTI
Then the ash pan has been withdrawn 30 provided at their ends with hook members 31.
The ash pan can then be carried by means of the two handles 1G and 2f) to any convenicnt place 'for discharging or storing the ashes Then that place is reached, the operator moves the handle 29,V raises the catch arm 23 to permit the notch to clear the rod QG, then lifts on the handle 16, and the rear end wall member 18 will. swing to its position shown in Figure 4l, so that as the ash pan is 'tit-led, the contents will slide over the end member 1S and be disch argcd.
Upon the return o'l the ash pan to the ash pit, the end member 18 may be swung to closing position, where the catch arm 23 will drop to the place Where the rod 2G Will'be engaged in the notch 25( lVhere, however, a bottom and end member 27 and 28, such as `those shown in Fig nre 2 are provided, it is not necessary to close the end member 18, but the ash pan may be slid into the ash pit, and When the end member reaches the curved end 28, it will follow that curved end and be shoved up to closing position, as shown in Figure 2, Where the'dotted lines showthe vparts just before they reach their inal position.
One advantage of such a structure arises from the fact that When the ash pan .with the `rear Wall 18 in its lowerpositien, as shown in Figure e, is shoved into the ash pit betweenthe VWalls 32, any ashes that may have dropped upon the bottom 27 will slide into the ash pan, as it is moved rear- Wardly, and any ashes, which may have dropped Vfrom the combustion chamber,
While the ash pan is removed, will thus be picked up.
It Will be noted that the side wings 2l form extensions of the side Walls 17 when the end member 18 is in its lower or open position. ,y
I claim as my invention:
1. In a structure of 4the class described, the combination of a special ash pit having a bott-om, side walls and a back Wall curved upwardly and rearwardly 'from the bottom, and deilector means above the side and back: Walls `for guiding ashes from the combustion chamber into the pan in the special pit with a removable ash pan adapted to be slid into said special ash pit, Whereby ashes dropping from above will pass into said pit or pan, said pan having a hinged rear end member 'adapted to coact with said rear wall of the special ash pit vfor closing movement when the ash pan is shoved into Vsaid special pit, and means for automatically holding the hinged Wall member in its position in the plane of the bottom of the pan or in its raised position when either of such positions is assumed.
Q.. An ash pan of the class described hav ing a bottom, a front end Wall and side Walls, the rear edges of the side Walls being inclined from. the bottom upwardly and awayl from the front, and a rear end Wall hinged to the bottom having side Wings for overlapping the end portions of the side Wall When the hinged end wall is in raised position, a rod extending between said side Wings, a rodextending between said side walls, a catch arm pivoted to said first rod and havingV intermediate its ends a notch and at its end opposite its pivot point a hook member, said hinged end Wall being Vprovided With holes, and a ldetachable handle providedvvith hook members for entering said holes.
