page_text: I JAMES CONYERS MORRELL of Woodridings Lawn, Pinner, in the County of
Middlesex, Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My improvements consist in making a Dust Bin and Cinder Sifter in combination,
The screen or
by preference of metal galvanized, in the form shewn by Figure 1.
If I hang
sieve a for sifting the ashes which I place within I hang either at b or c.
this sieve a at b I leave it loose at c and attach to it a wire rod at d by which I lift it
for the double purpose of giving motion to the sieve when desired and for putting
into the Bin any refuse which it is not intended to pass over the sieve. If I
hang the sieve at c I suspend the lower end at b by a rod e passing through a slotted
hole in the case of the Bin and having a handle at the end of it outside the case.
When it is desired to give motion to the sieve thus suspended the rod e is raised
and released.
If I do not apply rod e for suspending the sieve I rest the end of the sieve a
on a suitable bearer and pass the horizontal rod at the lower end of the sieve
through a slotted hole in the side of the case by which I lift the sieve.
House Ashes are put in at opening f. after raising lid 9. the cinders passing over
sieve a fall sifted into cinder box h.-which I make in section in the form
shewn-though I do not confine myself to the precise angles given. My object in
making this box with it's inner side lower than it's outer side is to facilitate the
placing of it in position and the ready removal for emptying. I rest the box h.
on a bearer or bearers i formed by preference of angle iron which I mostly carry
across the front of Bin-This bearer or carrier for my cinder box does not allow of
a lodgement of rough particles and so renders the removal and replacement of the
cinder box always easy and free-which is a very important feature of my
improvements.
The dust which passes through the sieve a falls into body of bin k and any
rough or other refuse which is to be entrusted to the Dust Bin is put into k―
either by lifting the sieve at c as before named, or by removing cinder box h.-

page_text: I remove the contents of k through door in front or through door m in the
rear I make this by preference a fall door and hang it at the foot of the frame
of my case in such a inanner that a small space is left when open to prevent an
accumulation of dust which would prevent.the ready closing of the door-I hold it
at it's upper end when closed by a suitable catch-I make my emptying door in the
rear when it is desired to remove the contents of k-through the wall against which
the Bin is placed or when circumstances render the removal at the rear more suitable
and convenient-In those cases when the Bin stands at a higher level than the
roadway or passage by which the removal takes place door m is made larger, and
when open falls to a slope by which the contents of k can be drawn into the dust cart
or dust collector. When I desire to prevent rough refuse such as old cans passing
over screen into cinder box I put a sieve of very large mosh, or a few rods of iron
across the mouth under fat n―to arrest such rough refuse, and place it handy for
putting into k in one of the manners named.-I sometimes place a drawer in the
lower part of Bin k occupying the space across and from front to rear for receiving
the dust but I prefer the ordinary method of removal by a spade-Sometimes I
make box partly of open wire work or perforated metal-In those cases when it is
desired to keep the rough refuse in a separate vessel I place receptacle o in the Bin,
holding it by a small catch knob o 1. This receptacle at it's lower end is perforated for
ventilation and the escape of any liquid-The use of this receptacle also economises
yard space.
Figure 2-shews a slight modification of the above as regards the form of the
sieve, the hanging or holding of it and the method of giving motion to it-In this
case I make the sieve a with one or more bends in it as shewn at 6 and hang or rest it
on a rod at c or thereabouts, it's upper end resting loose on small projecting pieces
made as shewn by section d; at the end e I either attach rod for carry the horizontal
rod of the sieve through a slotted hole in the side of the bin-so-that-when-I-wish-to-
give motion to the sieve I do so either by pressing down for. the projecting end of
the horizontal rod, and by this motion-and increase of dip-of my sieve drop the
cinders into and the dust into k. In other respects my Bin and it's parts are as
described by Fig. 1.

I JAMES CONYERS MORRELL of Woodridings Lawn, Pinner, in the County of
Middlesex, Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
My improvements consist
Firstly In making a Dust Bin with cinder sifter in combination, of metal, in
the form shewn by Fig. 1 a on the sheet of drawings herewith. The screen or
sieve a for sifting the ashes which I place within I hang at c and at it's lower
end rest it loose on bearer b, which places it at an angle from the horizon of
45 degrees or thereabouts. The ashes, when put in at opening f., by lifting lid g.,
pass over screen a and the cinders fall sifted into moveable box h-the ash dust passing
through the screen falling into lower part of bin k. I make the cinder box h in
section as shewn-i.e. with the inner side lower than the outer side or face, and with
such inner side sloped in towards foot of the box, and the foot or bottom sloped to the
inner side. My object in thus making this box h is to facilitate the ready placing of
it in position and the ready removal of it for emptying &c.,-and further, by the
slope of the inner side to permit of the dust falling through sieve passing to the front of
the Bin. I rest this box on bearers i-formed by preference of angle iron and
attached to the side of the Bin at a slope, as shewn, corresponding with the slope of
the foot of box h. These bearers i are placed at a considerable height above the floor
of the Bin-consequently there is no impediment to the replacement of the cinder
box . Any rough or other refuse which is to be entrusted to the Dust Bin is put
into k by removing cinder box h. I remove the contents of k through a door / in
front This is a slide door, and is made with it's sides turned or curved round
substantially as shewn by Fig. 1b.-so as to fit and slide upon the upright
framework of the case of the Bin-thus when up leaving a perfectly clear opening
for removing the contents of k. I place handles at each side and at the rear of
my Bin.
Secondly-In making à Dust Bin and Cinder Sifter in combination in the form
shewn by Fig. 1a but with the addition of rod e-Fig. 2 a. attached to the end of the
sieve a and carried through the case of the Bin, for the purpose of giving motion to
the sieve when desired-or instead of the rode for this purpose, I carry the rod of
the lower end of the sieve or a rod attached thereto, through a suitably slotted hole
in the side of the case of the Bin at b. by which the desired motion may be given to
the sieve.
Thirdly-In making my dust bin and Cinder Sifter in combination in the form

page_text: shown by Fig. 1a. but in this the door for emptying at m Fig. 2a. This is by
preferance a fall door, as it will be applicable especially when it is desired to remove
the contents of k through a door in the rear wall: or, instead of this door at m I put
the door in the floor of my Bin, or I leave out partially or wholly the bottom of my
Bin so that it may be placed over a large pit, or over a shoot-k 1-Fig. 2 a.
Fourthly-In making my Dust Bin and Cinder Sifter in combination, with the
sieve a as shown at Fig. 3a-In this the sieve a has one or more bends in it, as
shewn at b, and is hung or rested on a rod at c or thereabouts-it's upper end resting
loose on small projecting pieces made as shewn by section d. At the end c I either
attach rod f, or carry the horizontal rod of the sieve through a slotted hole in the
side of the Bin-so that when I wish to give motion to the sieve 1 do so-either by
pressing down for the projecting end of horizontal rod-and by this motion and
increased dip of my sieve drop the cinders in and the dust through sieve into k.-In
other respects my Bin and it's parts are in one of the forms before described.
When it is desired to prevent rough refuse such as old cans passing with the
cinders over the sieve into cinder box-I put a sieve with very large mesh, or a few
rods of iron across the mouth under ƒ (Fig. 2a) at n to arrest such refuse and have
it handy for putting into k in the manner before named.
Sometimes I place a drawer in lower part of Bin k-occupying the space across,
& from front to back for receiving the dust n-but I prefer the ordinary method of
removal by a shovel, or still better by lifting and tilting the Bin itself; the handles
at the side and rear rendering this latter casy and convenient-the rear handle
being especially put on for this purpose.
Sometimes-I-make box h partly of open wire work, or perforated-metal.-
In those cases when it is desired to keep rough refuse in a separate vessel I place
receptacle o fig. 2a on the Bin holding it. by-a-small- catch-knob o 1-This receptacle
is perforated at it's lower end for ventilation, and the escape of any liquid. The use
of this receptacle economises yard space.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
