Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PETER GOERGEN, OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
COAL-BOX.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 261,701, dated July 25, 1882.
Application filed March 17, 1882. (Model.)
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that YI, PETER GoERGEN, of Bualo, in the county ot' Erie and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Coal-Box, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object ot' my invention is to provide a new and improved coal-box which occupies but very little space and from which the coal can be shoveled very conveniently.
The invention consists in a box provided with an openingin one ot' its sides, and at theV bottom ot' this side with a projecting trough, parallel with this side, which trough is provided with an incline extending from the upper edge of one end to the bottom of the trough. The box is provided at the bottom with bevelblocks in the inner corners for guiding the coal through the opening into the trough.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specication, in which similar letters of reference indica-te corresponding parts in both the gures.
Figure 1 isa perspective view of myimproved coal-box, showing it closed. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, showing the lid or cover swung open.
The box A, made of wood or metal, and preferably being made considerably longer than wide, is provided at the bottom of one of its longitudinal sides, or, if desired, at the bottom ot' one of the ends, with a projecting trough, B, which is in communication with the box by meansof an opening, C, extending throughout about one-half the length of this trough. About one-half of the bottom of the trough is inclined downward from the upper edge of-one end of the trough to about the middle of the bottom of the trough, as at D, so that the inner end of the opening C and the inner end of the incline D will meet, as shown. The trough is made of about the same Width as an ordinary hand coal-shovel. Two
beveled blocks, E, are secured on the bottom of the box in the inner corners, down which blocks the coal slides through the opening O into the trough B.
The box A is provided with a hinged or sliding cover or lid,
lf desired, one end ot' the trough can be provided with a hinged or sliding cover or lid, H, to cover that part of the trough in which the opening O is. The coal, sliding down the blocks E into the trough B, can be removed by means of a shovel passed down the incline D into the trough B. All the dust and sediment are thus removed from the box with the coal.
This box is especially adapted for use in railway-cars, as it occupies but very little space, and the person shoveling the coa-l out of the trough B can stand in the aisle and pass his shovel longitudinally into the trough, thus permitting the stove to be placed very near the outer edge of the trough, and he can shovel the coal very conveniently.
The box can be made any desired size, and can be used for other purposes-for instance, to hold potatoes, apples, feed, oats, ashes, dto. It desired, it can be provided with acompartment `for wood, and can be placed on rollers.
-Having thus fully described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The combination, with the box provided in its side with a bottom opening, C, of the projecting trough B, provided with anincline, D, from the upper edge of one end to about the middle, and of the beveled blocks E on the bottom ot' the box-in the inner corners, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, with the box A, pro` vided with an opening, C, of the trough B, provided with an incline, D, the beveled blocks E, andthe coverH for partot'the trough B, substantially as herein shown and described, for the purpose set` forth.
PETER GOERGEN.
