COAL AND ASH SIFTER.-
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,340, dated May 4, 1886. Application filed August .27, 1885. Serial No. 175,446. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VICTOR H. LOVELY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Underhill, in the county of Ohittenden and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coal and Ash Sifters, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to an improvement in coal and ash sifters; and it consists in a device of this character comprising a suitable inclosing case provided with a cover, a drawer, a revolving screening-cylinder, and a watertight case, which is placed in the frame just under the cylinder, as will be more fully described, and pointed out hereinafter in the claim.
The object of my invention is to produce a coal and ash sifter whereby the screened coal and cinders can be washed, so as to free them from all adhering ashes.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the sifter with the box-cover open to show the position of the receiving-cylinder, and the ash-drawer partially drawn out. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the cylinder, its lower half being inclosed in the water-case.
A is a box constructed of wood or any suitable material, in the upper portion of which thecylinder B isjournaled upon a shaft which extends through its center and rests upon suitable bearings, b, on the ends of the box. This cylinder is revolved by the crank c, which is attached to one extremity of the shaft and is surrounded by a wire netting or other suitably perforated material through which is an opening provided with a lid so hinged that it may be readily opened to receive the contents of the cylinder, when it can be again closed and properly secured.
D is the cover of the box A, of sufficient depth to receive that portion of the cylinder B which projects above the top of the box A 0 when it is closed.
box Ato sustain the case within the box in such a manner that the lower portion of the cylinder B may revolve within it. By raising the cylinder from the box A the case F can be readily suspended within the box,and the cylinder then returned to place.
In operation, the coals are first deposited within the cylinder B and the cover of the box A tightly closed. The rotation of the cylinder, by means of the crank 0, causes the ashes to be sifted into the drawer E below without any opportunity for the dust to escape. The drawer is then removed, emptied, and replaced. The cylinder B is then lifted out and the case F put in place, filled with water, and the cylinder returned to position. A few revolutions of the cylinder in the water-case serves to thoroughly remove all dust from the screened coals within the cylinder. The cylinder can then beemptied and the process repeated.
The operation is simple, easily performed, and accompanied by no soiling of the person.
From the foregoing description it will be readily understood how the cylinder B, used in connection with the water-case F, forms one of the most convenient, rapid, and suc- 8o cessful vegetable washers. Afew revolutions of the cylinder filled with potatoes or other vegetables within the water-filled case F quickly and entirely removes from them all dirt or other impurities without inconvenience to or danger of soiling the person of the operator.
The entire sifter is cheap, easy to be kept in order, requires but little room, and successfully accomplishes the work for which it is designed.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The herein-described coal and ash sifter, consisting of frame A, provided with a cover, 5 the drawer, a revolving. screening-cylinder,
B, and the water-case F, placed in the frame just under the cylinder, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I do affix my signature 100 in presence of two witnesses.
VICTOR H. LOVELY.
