page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Richard Dawson Jones of Liverpool in the county of
Lancaster for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPERTAINING TO ASH
BUCKETS AND LIKE ARTICLES FOR CARRYING MATERIAL CONTAINING CINDERS
OR LUMPS WHICH IT IS DESIRABLE ΤΟ SEPARATE FROM THE FINER
PARTICLES
"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Richard Dawson Jones at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 24th April 1883.
RICHARD DAWSON JONES of Liverpool in the County of Lancaster
" IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OR APPERTAINING TO ASH BUCKETS AND LIKE ARTICLES FOR CARRYING
MATERIAL CONTAINING CINDERS OR LUMPS WHICH IT IS DESIRABLE TO SEPARATE
FROM THE FINER PARTICLES"
This invention has for its object a cinder and ash bucket, capable of separating
the cinders from the ashes without giving out dust, and with as little trouble as
possible.
•
I form the bucket and lid in any ordinary manner of metal and near the top or
say at least, of the height from the bottom, I place a frame suspended on
trunnions or on one or more rods, and in this frame fit a sieve, riddle or sifter, so
that it can be taken out or in. The ashes and cinders are placed in the sieve, the
lid put on and a handle fastened to the trunnion, trunnions, bar, or bars, is shaken
either reciprocally or with oscillation so as to cause a violent shaking of the
materials. The ashes fall through, and the sieve can be lifted out and the cinders
thrown back on the fire.
To prevent the sieve oscillating too far and knocking off the lid, I place stops on
the outside or any suitable position preferably shielded with india rubber, which
latter of course must be placed out of reach of the hot cinders. The jerks caused
by hitting against the guards at each end of the oscillation or reciprocation assist
greatly in stirring up and riddling the cinders. If the apparatus be made recipro-
cating it or the bucket can be oval

RICHARD DAWSON JONES of Liverpool in the county of Lancaster " IMPROVE-
MENTS IN OR APPERTAINING TO ASH BUCKETS AND LIKE ARTICLES FOR CARRYING
MATERIAL CONTAINING CINDERS OR LUMPS WHICH IT IS DESIRABLE TO SEPARATE
FROM THE FINER PARTICLES."
This invention has for its object a cinder, and ash bucket capable of separating
the cinders from the ashes without giving out dust, and with as little trouble as
possible.
The invention is best described by aid of the accompanying drawings, in
which
Fig 1-is a part section, part elevation, and
Fig 2.-
-a part elevation at right angles to Fig. 1.
In these A is the bucket, B the lid. These are formed in any ordinary manner
of metal, and near the top or say at least two thirds of the height from the bottom
of the bucket, I place a frame C suspended on trunnions D D or on one or more
rods, and in this frame fit a sieve, riddle, or sifter E, so that it can be taken out
or in. The ashes and cinders are placed in the sieve, the lid put on so as to retain
the dust, and a handle G fastened to the trunnion, trunnions, bar or bars, is shaken
either reciprocally or with oscillation so as to cause a violent shaking of the
materials. The ashes fall througb, and the sieve can be lifted out and the cinders
thrown back on the fire.
To prevent the sieve oscillating too far and knocking off the lid, I place stops H
on the outside of the bucket or any suitable position, preferably shielded with
india-rubber, which latter of course must be placed out of reach of the hot cinders.
The jerks caused by hitting against the guards at each end of the oscillation or
reciprocation assist greatly in stirring up and riddling the cinders.
If the apparatus be made reciprocating, it or the bucket can be oval.
Having now described my invention I claim as new and original and to be
protected under the Letters Patent :-
1st. The manufacture of ash buckets and other like articles with sieves or riddles
in their upper parts for separating larger lumps from the finer granules, ashes, or
powder, in the manner substantially as described.
2nd. The ash bucket with internal movable riddle, arranged and constructed
substantially as and for the purposes described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.
In witness whereof I the said Richard Dawson Jones have hereunto set my
hand and seal this twenty-second day of October, in the year of our Lord, one
thousand eight hundred and eighty three.
