UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES K. HALL, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO E. J. HART, JR., OF SAME PLACE.
RECEPTACLE FOR SHOT, 86C.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 240,020, dated April 12, 1881.
Application led September 18, 1880. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES K. HALL, a resident of the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, and State of Louisiana, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Receptacles for Shot, Ste.; and I do hereby de'- clare the following to be a full, clear, and correct description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification.
This invention relates to the construction of one or more receptacles for holding shot or any other dry substance which will roll readily, and in providing each witha delivery-tube, the said tube so connected as to be thrown up in a vertical position when not in use, and the receptacles capable of being joined together, so as to form a series of the same with tubes Its obzo ject is to` save both time and labor in the withdrawal, Weighing, and putting up packages of shot. i
O11 the drawings, Figure lrepresents a front View of a single receptacle, and Fig. 2 a side view thereof. Fig. 3 represents internal and sectional views of a drum to which the delivery-tube is pivoted, and through which the shot passes from the receptacle'to the same. Fig. et is a top view or plan of a number of receptacles connected, as will be hereinafter more fully explained;
A A are the sides of the receptacle, and B B the front and rear thereof. Their corners are secured together by means of an gle-pieces c c', which are connected by screws or rivets,
as desired.
To unite two or more receptacles, at strips of metal, d, are placed over the vertical joints and secured to the front and rear plates by means of screws or rivets, as shown in Fig. 4. The interior of each receptacle is furnished with an incline bottom, E, having a central valley of increased width and depth at its low-` est point, as shown in dotted lines at Figs. 1 and 2. The front of each receptacle is provided with an opening communication with said valley, and over this opening is secured, through a rectangular tube, F, adrum, G, the
latter formed in two sections, as at h t', one,l
h, having an annular recess to receive the outer edge of the projecting band la of the other Y section. ner ange, lm, with space sufficient between the band k to permit of the operatin g back and forth of a curved plate, u, having a circular opening, over which the inner end of thedelivery-tube .fr is permanently secured.
An opening corresponding in size withfthat means of hinges a plate, R, which, by reason of its lower edge resting on the projections s s' of the drum, serves i to hold the same in' a vertical position when not in use. The front ot' this plate may, if so desired, bear the number of the shot in the receptacle.
The upper side of the tube F has its lowest portion open, as at t, to allow the shot remaining in the tube to run back into the same as the tube is being brought into a vertical position.
The lower portion of the sides constitute the legs or supports of the receptacles. This portion maybe made with openings in the saine or ornamented, as desired.
The receptacles being faced to one common center admits of a weighing-scale being placed within the said center, so that by swinging down the tube of any receptacle the shot from the same will run directly into the said scale. When sufficient quantity has been weighed the attendantplaces his iinger over the mouth of the tube, thereby stopping the discharge through the same. The bringing ot' the tube into a vertical position causes the shot therein to run back into the drum, from which it passes out through the opening when next the delivery-tube is lowered.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. A shot-receptacle provided with an inclined bottom, E, the lowest portion ot which communicates with the internal tube, F, of a Each section is provided with an in- IOO drum, G, the latter provided with suitable communicates through suitable openings in a v1o` openings and annular recess to admit of the drum, G, and its internal tube, F, with the said operating of a de1ivery-tube,as described, and receptacle, for the purpose specified.
