Goal-Hod.
Patented Dec. 9, 1879.
N FE 'ERS, FNUTO-UTHOGRAPHER, WASHINGTON a c I UNITED STATEs PATENT OFFICE WILLIAM EASTERBROOK, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN COAL-HODS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,347, dated December 9, 1879; application filed May 16, 1879.
' or Goal-Hods, of which the following is a specification.
, The invention relates to the manufacture of coal-scuttles or coal-hods.
Heretofore coal-scuttles have been made with that portion known as the month on the same line as the side of the body upon which it is formed, or with an arch-like piece of metal affixed to the upper 'portionof the body of the hod, by which a cylinder or tube is formed, through which the coal slides.
In another case the arch is dispensed with, and the sides of the month are slightly raised above the level of the body, and turned in at an angle in such fashion asto approximate an arch, but not being closed at the apex.
The'first method is objectionable, from the fact that when the hod is tilted to pour the coal or fuel the slant of the mouth and the depression of the sides of the hod cause the coal to flow over the .sides'of the scuttle and to be scattered and spilled.
In the second method the presence of the arch offers an obstruction to the sliding of the coal, except of the smaller sizes.
In the third method no advantage is obtained, for the coal in flowing down the mouth of the everted hod crowds itself over the edge of the mouth.
The object of my invention is to provide a coal-scuttle or coal-hod which will prevent the scattering of coal or fuel while replenishing the fire, and to strengthen the month-of the scuttle by a four-ply or other seam, as described at length hereinafter.
The invention consists in cutting away the mouth of the coal-scuttle or coal-hod in a circular or other manner, and affixing a lip or spout of a different piece of metal from the elevation of a hod with the invention em-,
bodied. I
A represents thelip or spout, and B thebody, of the hod.
a represents the rivet which secures the 7 union of the lip with the body of the hod, and
maybe single, as in the present instance, or
forming a continuous line around the lipat the seam b. This union is so effected at c that the inner piece of metal laps over the outer, which prevents the possibility of an obstruction to the flow of the fuel.
The spout or lip leaves the body of the hod at an angle, D, which angle is not necessarily constant in its number of degrees.
Fig. 2 is a top or plan view of thehod with the invent-ion embodied. v
Fig. 3 is an enlarged section of the lip or spout, which is made of sheet or cast metal, and protected at the margin 01 by being turned over and hammered down or wired, as the case may be. The lip A is further secured to the body B by a seam, b. This seam consists of a fold in each piece of metal, which interlocks and is hammered down, and soldered or riveted, as the case may be. This seam is so constructed that no obstruction is ofiered to the flow of the fuel, and providing a strong connection of the spout and body.
What I claim is- The coal-hod body B and spout A, secured by the lap-joint b, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 7
