its-ta al.
To all whom it may concern:
.Be it known that 'I, FEs'rUs WV. KE ALL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elmira Heights, in the county ofChemu'ng and State of New Yorkjha've invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ouspldors, of which the following is a specificaion.
Thisinvention relates to improvements in cnspidors for house, sho and oflice use; my
7 object being to provi e a cuspidor with hinged lids to close the opening into the well of the cuspidor when not in use; and to provide means for readily raising the lids by the foot of the user, and automatically closing them when the mechanism is released.
I attain my object by constructing the cuspidor in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective View of one form of my cuspidor, with the lids closed and Fig. 2, a section throu h one side thereof, showing the mechanism or operating the lids.
Like numerals designate like parts in the several views.
The cuspidor, as here shown, consists of a rectangular well 1, of sheet metal or other suitable material, having a cover-plate 2 riveted to its upper edges, said cover-plate being provided with an opening corresponding to that of the well, and around said opening, on the underside, with depending flanges 6, to which the well .is fastened. Above the well opening there are, preferably, two'lids 3, 3, provided at opposite sides with dependin ears 4, whichpass through slots provide therefor in the cover-plate. These ears are hinged to the cover-plate by means of pins 5, which pass through extensions at the ends of the two oppositely disposed flanges 6.
' The cover-plate rests upon and is fastened to a base 7, shown herein as composed of metal plates fastened together in the form of a frustum of a yramid; and it will be understood that th1s base can be made more or less ornamental in form, as desired.
For operating the lids, connecting links 8, of stiff wire, are coupled at one end to projections formed on the ears'4, and at the other end to arms 9, pivoted at 10 to one of the flanges 6.. The arms 9 are coupled by links 11 to a slide bar 12, which reciprocates in a grooved plate 13, fastened to the side of Specification of LettersPatent.

ev s-Iss the well. The'slide bar-is-providedwith a pin 14, to which is 'coupled-zango efatinglever 15, which extends 1n 'both' directions through slots 16, rovided therefor in op 0- site 'sl'des' of the ase. Knobs 17, or ot er foot holds, are fastened on the projecting ends of the lever, whereby the lever may be ressed downward on one side orthe other y the foot of the user.- When so pressed upon, one end ofthe lever will be ushed downward, while the other end will e ful- Patented June 1, 1909.
crumed against the upper end of its slot 16,
The downward motion of the-lever causes the slide bar 12 to descend, thereby drawin the arms 9 downward, and throwin the li s to open position, as indicated in roken lines in Fig. 2. When the lever is released, the spring 18 fastened between the flange 6 and the slide bar 12 will throw the arms 9 u ward again, thereby closing the lids anti;-
matically. It will also be obvious that if the lever is ressed upon at both ends simultaneously t e lids will be opened in like manner. Y
While I prefer to provide the cuspidor with twolids opening in o posite directions, because thereby Zthe slide liar will have the pulling force eqiially distributed on oppo site sides of, it, I do not confine myself to such construction.
In. order to facilitate the cleaning of the cus idor and render it more sanitary, I prefera ly provide for the well removable receptacles, such as described in my Letters Patent No. 857,470, dated June 18, 1907.
The cuspidors, as so constructed, may be made in various forms and of different materials, according to requirements, and may be varied in other respects without departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I claim'and desire to secure by Let'- ters Patent is 1. In a cuspidor,-the combination, with the well, of a hinged lid therefor, a slide-,
bar mounted in a guideway at one side of the well, an-ar 'n pivoted above the slide-bar, a link coupling the two together, a second link coupling the arm to a projection from the lid beyondthe hinge, and an operating lever coupled to the slide-bar.
2. In a cuspidor, the combination with a well contained within a supporting base, of a hinged lid for the well, a vertically reciprocating slide-bar" mounted in a guideway at one side of the well within the base,
an arm pivoted above the slide-bar, a link coupling the two together, a second link coupling the arm to a projection from the lid beyond'the hinge, and an operating lever coupled to the slide-bar and projecting through slots in opposite sides of the base, the upper ends of said slot serving as fulcrums forthe lever.
3. In a cuspidor, the "combination, with a well contained Wit-hill a supporting base,
of a hinged lid: for'the well; a lever atone sideof the Well-passing through and pro jeeting from guide slot-s formedin opposite sides of the base, the upper ends of said slots serving as fulcrulns for the lever. and 15 mechanism contained between the side Walls of the well and the base operable by said lever; when pressed down upon either end, to raise the 11d. I
In testimony whereof I have afiixed my 20 signature, inpresence of two witnesses.
