ASH-PAN FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 248,203, dated October 11, 1881. Application filed May 17, 1881. (Model) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MICHAEL BIRMINGHAM ONEILL, of the city of Halifax, county of and Province of Nova Scotia, have invented certain useful Improvements in Ash- Pans for Locomotive-En gin es, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide for emptying the ash-pans of locomotive-engines at any time or place, and thereby obtain the advantages of reduced labor and better draft and avoid accumulations of ashes.
In-the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a rear end view of a locomotive fire and ash box of the improved construction. Fig. 2 is a side View, and Fig. 3 a front end view, of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.
A A are the sides of the locomotive cab.
13 is the floor line, and O is the fire-door of the furnace.
D D are plates forming the sides of the ashboX, the bottom of which is formed by the pans E. At the ends, front and rear, the openings between the pans and the grate-bars are fitted with hinged doors or flaps F, so that the ashbox is completely closed. The pans E are formed of sheet or boiler iron in semicircular form, or nearly so, in cross-section, and with the ends closed by plates. They are hung, front and rear, by pivots a on cross-bars b, that are fixed to the side plates, D, and are connected at the rear ends by pins 0 to a rod or bar, 01, that extends from a crank-lever, c.
The pivots a of the pans are at one side of the center, and the pivots c of the rod d are below the pivots, so that the pans can be readily turned by endwise movement of the connecting-bar.
The pans are formed at their upper edges with flanges f, so that at their joining edges the flanges will overlap, and the side plates, D,
are fitted with guards g, against which the outer flanges impinge. The bottom is thus closed tightly, so that sparks and ashes cannot escape. From. the crank-lever c a rod, h,
- being emptied frequently,
of sparks and ashes,
extends upward to a convenient position for operation in the cab.
By downward movement of rod h the connecting-rod d is moved endwise and the pans swung on their pivots to the position shown in dotted lines, so that their contents will be discharged. A reverse movement of the rod h restores the first position.
A water-pipe, 1', connected with the watertank, passes over the pans E, and is provided with openings for discharging into the pans. The pipe will have a cook to regulate the discharge, so that the ashes can be wetted down before being emptied.
This construction and arrangement lessens labor, promotes draft, saves fuel, and avoids danger of fire. The ashes can be emptied at any time or place. Being Wetted, they will not set fire to bridges or sleepers, and being frequently emptied will serve as ballast and prevent growth of grass. The readiness with which the ashes may be cleaned out without the operator leaving the cab and while the locomotive is in motion is of great advantage. An increased draft results from the ash-box thus saving labor and fuel.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with the pans E, of the side plates, D, having cross-bars b, with pivots a set at one side of the center, the pins 0, arranged below said pivots, the bar 01, and the crank-lever 0, whereby a lever, h, can give the rod 61 an endwise movement and as described.
2. In locomotive ash-boxes, the pans E, having flanges f at their upper edges, in combination with side plates, D, having guards 9,
thru the pans,
whereby the bottom is closed against the escape as described. MICHAED BIRMINGHAM ONEILL.
