The present invention relates generally to an improved ash receiver and sifter and more particularly to a device of this character adapted for use in receiving and shifting ashes from the ash pit of a furnace or the like.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a combined ash sifter and receiver adapted for placing on the floor in front of the ash pit of a furnace and providing a chute leading from the ash sifter and furnace to the opening in the ash pit and by means of which the ashes may be scraped into the ash sifter for separating fine ashes therefrom which are deposited into the receiver.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is eflicient and reliable in use, relatively inexpensive to manufacture 1 Claim. (Cl. 209-377) and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for i which the same is intended.
Other objects and. advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view showing the ash receiver and sifter in osition with respect to a furnace.
Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken substantially on a line 3-3 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the ash sifter.
Figure 5 is a similar view of the ash receiver, and
Figure 6 is a similar view of the chute.
Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates an ash receiver in the form of a tray constructed of suitable material adapted for containing a small quantity of water, if desired, in order to reduce dust created by the ashes when deposited in the receiver. Handles 6 are attached to the opposite sides of the receiver or tray 5.
The ash sifter is shown generally at I and comprises an open tray-like member having a wire screening 8 forming the bottom thereof and of a size adapted to rest on the upper edges of the receiver 5. Lugs 9 extend downwardly from the opposite sides of the sifter I for'overlapping the sides of the receiver 5 to prevent lateral. shifting movement of the sifter and an angle iron member [0 is secured to the bottom of the sifter I at its front edge adapted to extend downwardly at the front edge of the receiver 5 to prevent rearward sliding movement of the sifter thereon.
The front edge of the sifter I is open and adapted for receiving the rear end of a chute ll which is supported at its rear end on the angle iron ID at the front end of the sifter and has its front end extended downwardly for resting on the floor at the ash pit opening of a furnace l2.
The chute H is open at its front and rear end and is provided with upstanding side walls H.
A pair of pins l3 extend downwardly from the bottom of the chute at its rear edge for insertion through the mesh of the screening 8 of the sifter and an angle iron member l4 extends transversely of the chute under the bottom thereof and spaced slightly forwardly from the pins l3 and adapted for abutting engagement with the front edge of the sifter 1 as well as with the front edge of the receiver 5, the pins l3 and angle iron member l4 thus cooperating to secure the chute on the sifter and also to secure the sifter and receiver against longitudinal shifting movement relative to each other as will be apparent from an inspection of Figure 3 of the drawings.
The sifter 1 is also provided with handles l5 at its side edges.
In the operation of the device the sifter I is placed'on top of the receiverand the chute ll spaced with its rear end engaged with the front edge of the sifter and .the front end of the chute and moved into position with respect to the ash pit opening of the furnace as shown in Figure 1 of the drawings. Ashes fromthe ash pit may then be scraped up on the chute and into the sifter I where the fine ash will be deposited into the receiver 5.
If desired, a small quantity of water may be placed in the receiver 5 to assist in settling dust created by the scraping and sifting of the ashes.
The coarse ashes retained in the sifter I may be reclaimed for further use, if desired.
It is believed that the details of construction and manner of use of the device will, be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:
A combined ash receiver and sifter comprising a pair of trays adapted for mounting one upon the other, the lowermost of said trays having an imperforate bottom and the uppermost of said trays having a screen forming its bottom and also rovided with an open end, an angle iron member connected to the edge of the screen at the open end of the upper tray and overlying the upper edge of the lower tray to prevent shifting of the upper tray longitudinally of the lower tray in one direction, means at the sides of the trays to prevent lateral shifting movement relative to each other, a chute having one end resting on the open end of the upper tray, and means V V r 2,404,593
said chute having its other end adapted for .placing at the opening of an ash pit to receive ashes therefrom for delivering into the upper tray.
