HENRY P. BERCK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
GARBAGE-RECEPTACLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 710,835, dated October 7, 1902.
Application filed March 29, 1902. Serial No. 100,612. (No modei To @ZZ il/'tont t ptn/y concern.-
Beit known ythat I, HENRY P. BERCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at 1080 Vest Harrison streef, Chicago, Cook county, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Garbage-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a class of garbageboxes that tilt outwardly on pivots fixed at bottoni corners. All boxes or cans of this class are provided with covers pivoted to inside of wall or felice that fall on top of the can when in an upright position. 'lhis form has been found objectionable and dangerous, as thieves and small boys pull the can or box out and crawl over it into the barn or yard and unlock the doors, or they would place a small boy in the can and tip it back into the barn, where he would climb out and open the door, which has been done in numerous instances. Hence the object of my invention is to provide a garbage box or can that will effectually prevent any person from getting in a barn or yard by either of the above methods, and should a boy get in alone and tip himself into the barn he would soon find himself in a trap from which he could not extricate himself alone. I attain these objects bya mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a vertical front view. Fig. 2 is a back vertical view. Fig. 3 is a side view showing the box closed with cover lifted by broken lines. Fig. 4; is a side view showing the box open.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The can or box B is pivoted to a fence or barn-wall at the bottom h in the usual manner, so that it hangs to the inside of the fence. A cover C is hinged to the fence-rail bysuitable hinges c in a way that it will fall down to a vertical position, with its lower edge resting against the can, as shown in Fig. 4, a chain E being xed at each side of the cover. The free ends of the chains E are then xed to the front corners of the box, as shown at ein Fig. 4, with rivets or otherwise, and the chains are made just long enough to hold the cover rigidly in a vertical position against the can when it is inclined outwardly, so that if an attempt is made to push the cover inwardly the chain will draw the can upward. A steel strip c2 is iixed across the lower edge of the cover C, the ends projecting over each edge of the cover far enough to come in contact with the frame A when the can is inclined outward, thus preventing the cover from being pulled through. Strips of iron or steel c are fixed longitudinally on the top of 'the cover C, the lower ends being set one-half inch from the strip c2, leaving a notch or groove between them. The object will be more fully described below. A latch D, made of a three-eighthinch iron rod, is bent so as to straddle the cover transversely. The parts or arms extending down on each side of the can are again bent at a right angle outwardly, forming an axis. This 'latch is pivoted to the vertical part of the frame by suitable straps d d (shown in Fig. 2) about eight inches downward from the point where the cover is hinged to the horizontal part of the frame, the arms standing at an acute angle with the plane of the cover, the longitudinal part of the latch resting in the groove or notches across the cover, thus locking the cover down on top of the box B, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. A crank d is formed on one arm at the axis. This crank performs a double purpose-first, it prevents the latch from falling below the point where it would come in contact with the notches when the cover returns to its position after having been let down to the empty can; second, when the cover is lifted from the inside of the barn the latch may be lifted out of the notches by using the crank. The front b is made larger than the box B, forming flanges (shown in Fig'. 1 by broken lines) on both sides and on the top extending outward a suitable distance, so as to lap over the crevices between the can and wall, thus keeping the wind out when in a barn. The frame A may be formed by inserting studding vertically between the upper and lower fencerails. The bottom is perforated to facilitate drainage, the perforations being covered with wire screen. When the can is fixed in a barn, a hood may be arranged to connect with a chimney to carry off the fumes that'arise from the garbage, and a roof Ct is xed on the out- The can is also IOO place garbage in the can, the operator takes hold of the crank and lifts thevlatch out of the notches and then lifts the cover to a vertical position, and when the cover is allowed to fall back to the can the latch will drop into the notches again.
Having described my invention and the operation, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination in a garbage-receptacle of a box, provided With anges fixed around the outer edge, chains connected to said box at the front corners, a cover hinged to a frame and connected to the opposite ends of said chains and arranged to move in unison with said box, a stop-cleat fixed to the Said cover adapted to engage the frame, longitudinal strips arranged to form notches, the latch pivoted to the frame, adapted to engage said notches, substantially as described.
