' SANITARY GARBAGE TANK.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MORRIS WHEELER, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SANITARY GARBAG E-TAN K.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 658,817, dated October 2, 1900.
Application filed May 19, 1900- Serial No. 17,234. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, MORRIS WHEELER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Garbage-Tanks, which are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure 1 shows my said device in end elevation ready to discharge into a garbagewagon. Fig. 2 shows my said device in front elevation. Fig. 3 shows a tank of my said device in position to discharge into a wagon, only the upper end of the supporting-post bein g shown.
Like reference-letters denote like parts.
The object of my invention is to produce a sanitary garbage and ash tank which shall be free from the objectionable features of present devices and also leave the roadway or alley free from the obstructions which the usual garbage-receptacle presents and at the same time afford a means for quick action to those whose business it is to carry away the said material.
To attain said desirable ends, 1 construct my said new device in substantially the following manner, namely: I make a tank, or preferably two or more tanks, as d (1, whose transverse or end section is substantially like that shown in Figs. 1 and 3, roughly an oval, with the point hung lowest and its trunnions or pivotal axis of support placed about twothirds of the way up from said lowest point. The front and rear wall of said tank or tanks are preferably flat sheet-iron or other suitable material, and at the blunt or upper end and on one side of the tank is a receivingopening with a door e hinged at e at its upper edge, and on the opposite side of said door is a dischargingopening having a combined closing door and discharging-chute, said latter door being hinged or pivoted at the lower longitudinal edge of the discharge-opening and turning on pegs g. Said dischargingdoor f has its ends turned up to receive said pegs g, and one of said upturned ends has an arm f, which contacts with an arm f fixed to one of the supports a, wherewith the arm f contacts when the tank d automatically rights itself after having discharged its contents. Said tanks (1 d are hung near the top of a series of posts a, which may overhang, as shown, and are planted on or near the line of the alley and are rigidly connected together by means of a platform 0, to which access is had by means of a ladder or stairs 1). While being filled the tank d is held steady by means of said parts f f A rod 2' forms a convenient handle for the purpose of tilting the tank into the discharging position. (Shown in Fig. 3.)
By means of such a construction and the use of two or more tanks, the house waste can be kept separate, and thereby have its value materially increased, as by keeping ashes only in one tank while the other is used for kitchen and table Waste, while a third tank may be advantageously employed for waste paper, rags, and other material of that sort. By means of such an arrangement of tanks the ashes will be most useful for filling purposes, and the kitchen and table waste, being free from ashes and paper and rag waste, will be far more useful and easily and profitably worked for the grease or, useful for feeding purposes, and the same is equally true with paper and rag waste, for paper stock, or for fuel when a third tank is provided.
What I claim is 1. The combination with a trnnnioned selfrighting biported tank, of opposed oppositelyinclined lids whereof one lid turns around the upper and inner port edge and the other lid turns around the lower and outer port edge, substantially as specified.
2. The combination with a trnnnioned selfrighting biported tank, of opposed oppositelyinclined receiving and discharging lids whereof one lid turns around the upper and inner port edge and the other lid turns ar ound the lower and outer port edge and mechanism to automatically operate said latter lid, substantially as specified.
3. The combination with a biported tank trnnnioned in its vertical central dividing plane, of opposed oppositely inclined lids whereof one lid turns around the upper and inner port edge and the other lid turns around the lower and outer port edge, substantially as specified.
MORRIS WHEELER.
