\VILSON H. LARIMORE, OF GIRARD, KANSAS.

SMOKE AND CINDER CONVEYER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 570,315, dated October 27', 1896.

Application filed April 8, 1896. Serial N0. 586,634. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that 1, WILSON H. LARIMORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Girard, in the county of Crawford and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Smoke and Cinder Conveyers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention has relation to smoke and cinder conveyers for railway-trains, and more particularly to that class which are applied to the outside of passenger-coaches to prevent the dust, dirt, smoke,cinders, and sparks entering the coach through the ventilators or open windows when the train is in motion; and the object is to provide a simple, practical and effective device for this purpose; and to these ends the novelty consists in the construction, combination, and arrangement of the several parts of the same, as will be hereinafter more fully described, andparticularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings the same letters of reference indicate the same parts of the invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a passenger-coach provided with my improved dust and smoke-conveyer. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section, and Fig. 4 is a longitudinal horizontal section, of the same.

The numeral 5represents a modern railway passenger-coach.

6 is a flaring-mouthed hood, one of each being connected to each end of the coach, and the central portion 7 of these hoods extends across the top of the coach at each end and are formed with downwardly-projecting side wings 8 8, the lower ends of which are connected on each side with a longitudinal bottomless chute 9, and at their tops by a horizontal open-top chute 10.

of the coach, one on each side of the ventilators, and their open ends communicate with the hoods central portion 7 of hoods 6, and these chutes 16 16 also have open tops and downwardly-projecting inclined flanges 17, which form a passage for the smoke and dirt and prevent it entering the ventilators located in the roof.

When the car is in motion, the forward flanged hoods and the conduit or passage for the cinders, smoke, and dust, carry it past the windows to the rear of the car, as shown by the arrows.

Having thus fully described my invention, what Iclaim as new and useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-

1. A smoke-conveyer for railway-coaches, comprising a flaring-mouthed hood having an inwardly-projecting flange, and downwardlyeXtending side wings provided with inwardlyprojecting flanges, substantially as shown and described. 7 g

2. A smoke-conveyer for railway-co.aches, comprising a flaring-mouthed hood and downwardly-extending side wings, in combination with the longitudinally-extending top and bottom chutes, located respectively on the sides of the car above and below the windows thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILSON H. LARIMORE.
