ASH-SIFTER.
SPECIFICATION forming part 0f Letters Patent No. 762,190, dated June 7, 1904.
Application filed December 1, 1903- Serial No. 183,322. (No model.)
To all 1071/0171, it may concern.-
Be it known that LRIGI-IAED IV. ODONNELL,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Phila-.
delphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ash-Sifters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to ash-Sifters.
It consists of novel means for separating the ashes from the coal and cinders, for cleaning the latter, for carrying off dust that may rise, and for closing the machine during the operation of sifting to prevent dust in the apartment where it is used.
It further consists of novel features of construction, all as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
In the drawings, Figure 1 represents an elevation of my device, a portion of the same being removed. Fig. 2 represents a vertical longitudinal section of the same device. Fig. 3 represents a hopper-bottom detached. Fig. 4: represents a cover detached.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings, 1 designates the body of the machine shown as having a rectangular top portion 2, which may, if desired, be removable,and a removable cover 3,0ccupying an inclined position. A hopper 1 at the top of the machine is provided with a bottom 5, hinged at 6 and normally supported by a spring-latch 7, and a handle 8, exterior of the hopper. WVithin the hopper is supported an inclined screen 9, in which is a step or jog 10. Beneath the screen is a drawer 11, removable from the rear of the hopper. At the front of the screen is a compartment 12, in which is a tank 13. Within the tank 13 is a coal-holder 14, having a perforated or reticulate bottom 15 and preferably a handle 16. A button 17 at the front of the device serves to hold the cover 3 in position. A collar 18 in the top of the device adjacent the hopper 4 may be connected by a flue of any suitable material leading to a chimney or other exit.
The operation is as follows: The ashes are to fall upon the screen 9.
poured into the hopper 4:. By means of the handle 8 the bottom 5 is depressed so as to permit a small 'portion of the ashes at a time The faces of the spring-latch 7, which engage with the edge of the bottom 5, are inclined in both directions, so that the bottom may be easily disengaged from and reengaged with said latch by the operator. At the same time the latch acts efficiently to hold the bottom against accidental displacement. It is evident that the finer portions will drop through the screen and that the coal will pass over the screen and fall into the holder 14. It is also evident that the jog or step 10 in the screen 9 will assist in separating the ashes from the coal. As shown in Fig. 2, the tank 13 is partially filled with water, so thatthe coal from the screen 9 falls thereinto. When the ashes are sifted, the cover 3 may be removed, the holder 1 1 raised so as to permit the water to drip therefrom, and the coal, perfectly cleaned from all ashes, may be used or stored in any desired way.
l/Vhenevernecessary the drawer 1 1, with the waste ashes, may be taken from the hopper and emptied. The collar 18 may be closed by a cap, (not shown,) if desired, or, as above stated, may be connected by means of a suitable flue with any exit and will serve to carry off the lighter dust particles.
It will be seen that the hopper 4c is removable and that its walls are double, so that its detachably-engaged bottom 5 is supported out of contact with the floor or other article upon which the hopper may rest. Hence the hopper 4 may be removed and used as a hod or pail to carry ashes and may be placed within the guides, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, making a dust-tight connection therewith when the bottom 5 is open.
It is evident that various changes may be made by those skilled in the art, which will come within the scope of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in every instance to the exact construction herein shown and described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters with a handle exterior of said hopper, and a Patent, isspring-latch adapted to be disengaged from An ash-sitter comprising a body, a removand reengaged with said bottom. able hopper, an inclined screen and ash and RICHARD W.
