Application filed February 9, 1856. Serial No. 191,370.
vention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to locomotive and fireengine ash-pans; and it consists in the parts which will be hereinafter described,and pointedont in the claims.
Theinvention consists in a sectional movable bottom, the abutting sectional ends being covered by a stationary bridge to prevent the coal and ashes from falling through the joint.
rIhe invention further consists in levers for operating the sliding sections. f
In the accompanying drawings,Figurc l represents a side elevation of the bottom of a locomotive frebox with 'myimproved ash-pan attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal section of Fig. l. Fig. Sis a side view, similar to Fig. l, ppt showing a modification in the construction of the pan and the lever used for operating the same. Fig. et is a central vertical longitudinal section of thc construction shown in Fig. 3,and,Fig. 5 is a crosssection of said Fig. 3.
rlhe letter A indicates the bottom of a locomotive lire-box, and B agrate.
G represents the fixed sides of the ash-pan, suspended by suitable means from the frame or fireboX of the locomotive.
D D represent flanged or grooved guides secured to the bottom ofthe ash-pan sides,and
Iattached to the frame or fire box of thc loco motive by rods D.
E E represent two levers, preferably onthe firemans side of the locomotive. These levvers are pivoted at E' to the frame oriirebox.
F F are armsjointed at F' to the levers E. The outer ends of these arms are turned inward at right angles, and secured tothe turned-np ends G on the outer ends of the movablebottom sections H. Said movable sections are flanged (No model.)
at d, and they are adapted to move in the grooved guides Dwhen actuated by the levers.
I represents a bridge in the shape of an inverted V. This bridge is secured to the xed sides of the ash-pan and rests on the grooved guides. The movablebottom sections H H may slide under this bridge, so that the abutting ends h, forming the joint7 will be covered by the bridge to prevent the einders and ashes which may fall through the grate from passing through the joint.
J J represent stationary curtain-pieces eX- tending across the ends of the ash-pan, secured to the under side of the lire-box and to the fixed sides C C. The movable bottoms H H are adapted to pass freely under the lower edges ofthe end pieces J J. The ends G G of the. movable bottoms H H, when the ash-pan is closed, rest against the outside of the fixed ends J J. \Vhen the removable sections H II and their ends G G are forced out by the actuating means, the fixed ends J J act as scrapers and remove the ashes from the bottom II H. The guides D D extend out to a considerable distance beyond the ends J J, so as to enable the operator to slide the movable sections out on either one or both ends to the fullest desired extent.
The lever shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5 is a modification from the construction shown in Figs. l and 2. This modification consists ina vertical bar, K, extending upward,preferably on the firemans side. Said bar is provided with a longitudinal slot, K, and abottom corn-v municating recess, K2. A pin, L, is suitably securcdto the side of the frame or other convenient place.
FIM indicate two rods, jointed to the lower end of the lever K. The outer ends of these rods are pivoted to arms N N. The lower ends of the arms N N extend outward, downward, and around one of the guides D, and then are provided with long `horizontal extensions on, which are secured, respectively, to the under sides of the movable bottoms. The lever Kis suitably secured in a guard or guide in the. locomotiveframe. W'hen the recess K2 in said lever is disengaged from thepin L,andsaid pin placed in vertical line with the slot K and the lever forced down, the movable sections H I-I are forced apart, as indicated by dotted lines,\\'l1ereby the ashes in thepan are dumped IOO Vhen the bar is raised and locked by the pin in the recess, the sections are closed.
R is a damper on the front end of the ashpan, hinged at the top edge to swing upward, and is operated by a chain or rod, P, eXtending up into the cab ofthe engine.
Having thus described my invention,I claim Within the pan, movable flanged bottom sections, the flanges whereof being movably located inthe grooved gniderails, and levers to open and close the movable sections, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
3. An ash-pan having xed sides and ends rand a movable sectional flanged bottom, side grooved guide-rails for the reception of the Iianged sides of the movable sections, an inverted V shapedv bridge centrally located within the ash-pan to cover the abutting ends of the movable `sections when closed, and a lever provided with arms for connecting said movable sections, substantially as described, v
and for the purposes' set forth.
In testimony that I do claim the foregoing as my own I hereby affix my signature in pres ence of two witnesses.
