I, HUBERT HAES of 28 Bassett Road, North Kensington, London, W. Engineer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to refuse receptacles and is especially applicable to the
type ordinarily known as "street orderly bins," and has for its principal object to
construct them so that they may be emptied of their contents with greater facility
than has hitherto been possible.
In constructing a refuse receptacle according to this invention, I employ a
casing which as regards shape and size and in other respects may resemble those of
ordinary construction; indeed the only substantial difference which I make in this
ordinary casing is the omission of the front wall and the sliding door at the lower
part thereof.
In other words, this casing at the part extending above ground may
comprise two side walls, a back wall, an inclined bottom wall and a curved top, the
last named formed partly of a pivotted lid or door and partly of a curved extension
of the back wall.
Into the interior of the casing I place a removeable lining adapted to fit snugly
against the side, back and bottom walls of the casing. The front wall of the
removeable lining constitutes also the front wall of the casing, extending as it does
from the front edge of the bottom wall up to where the above-named pivotted door
is adapted to meet it.
The removeable lining may be provided with any convenient arrangement of
handles by which to enable it to be readily lifted out of the casing to admit of its
contents being discharged en masse into a scavenger's cart, waggon or other
receptacle, and with any suitable devices for temporarily detaining or locking the
lining in the casing.
An arrangement which I have found suitable for fulfilling the double purpose of
facilitating the manipulation of the removeable lining and the securing of it in the
casing is to provide on the front wall arms which, when the lining is in its normal
position, project towards the back at the outside of the side walls, and to pivot to
these arms handles which by knuckle-joints or equivalent means are prevented from
being raised beyond the position in which they are most convenient to be grasped
by the operators. These handles by their own weight normally hang downwards,
and are provided with pins, projections or recesses adapted to engage with holes,
projections or equivalent in or on the side walls when said handles are in their
lowered position. When it is desired to remove the lining from the casing, all that
is necessary is to lift the handles, first to disengage the retaining devices, and
afterwards to take the weight of the entire lining and its contents.
The foregoing is given merely as an example of one way of carrying the invention
into effect, and various modifications may be made without departing from the
essential features of the invention, as, for instance, instead of the before described
retaining device, I may employ projections on the lining, and recesses or abutment
surfaces on the casing, and these, if desired, may be so arranged that the actual
disconnection of the lining from the casing will not be effected until after the
former has been raised a slight distance from its normal position; or spring catches
may be employed for retaining the lining in position.

flanges or other suitable devices for giving it the necessary stability in the
ground.
I may apply my present invention to an existing "street orderly bin" by
removing the front wall thereof and substituting for it the before described
removeable lining.

C.T
I, HUBERTHAES, of 28 Bassett Road, North Kensington, London, W. 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 :-
This invention relates to refuse receptacles, and is especially applicable to the
type ordinarily known as "street orderly bins," and has for its principal object to
construct them so that they may be emptied of their contents with greater facility
than has hitherto been possible.
The invention will be best understood. by reference to the accompanying drawings
in which
Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a view partly in side elevation and partly
in vertical section of the above-ground part of a refuse receptacle constructed
according to this invention and
Fig. 3 is an isometric view of the removeable lining apart from the casing.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
In constructing a refuse receptacle according to this invention, I employ a
casing A which, as regards shape and size and in other respects, may resemble
those of ordinary construction; indeed, the only substantial difference which
I make in this ordinary casing is the omission of the front wall and the sliding
door usually provided at the lower part thereof. In other words, this casing A, at
the part extending above ground, may comprise two side walls a, a back wall a¹, an
inclined bottom wall a² and a curved top, the last-named formed partly of a pivotted
lida and partly of a curved extension at of the back wall a'.
Into the interior of the casing A I place a removeable lining B adapted to fit
snugly against the side, back and bottom walls a, a¹, a² of the casing. The lining,
as shown in the drawings, is formed with four vertical walls b, 61, 62, 63 and an
inclined bottom wall, and when the said lining is in position in the casing, as
shown in Figs. 1 and 2, its front wall bas it were constitutes the front wall of the
easing A, extending as it does from the front edge of the bottom wall a² up to the
part at which the pivotted door a³ is adapted to meet it.
The removeable lining B may be provided with any convenient arrangement of
bandle by which to enable it to be readily lifted out of the casing A to admit its
contents being discharged en masse into a scavenger's cart, waggon or other
receptacle, and with any suitable devices for temporarily retaining or locking the
lining in the casing.
In the drawings, I have represented an arrangement which I have found suitable
for fulfilling the double purpose of facilitating the manipulation of the removeable
lining B and the securing of it in the casing A. This arrangement consists of two
similar devices, each of which comprises a bar C secured to or formed in part with
the front wall of the lining B and bent near its ends as at c so as to lie parallel to
but at a slight distance away from the side walls b', b, and then bent again as at c¹

page_text: to form lugs to which are pivotted handles D, the connections between the 'handles D
and lugs being of the nature of knuckle-joints so that the handles, cannot be
raised in relation to the lining B higher than is represented at the left hand side of
Fig. 1; the handles shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and at the right hand side of Fig. 1
are represented in their normal position. Each of the bars C at the parts thereof
is adapted to fit into or engage with brackets E secured to, cast or otherwise
provided on the side walls a of the casing A, the lugs e during such engagement
fitting against the back of the brackets E so as to prevent the lining from
falling out of the casing. When it is desired to remove the lining B from the
casing A, all that is necessary is to lift it by the handles D first upwards to
disengage the bars C from the brackets E and then forwards out of the open front
of the casing. The upper part of the lining is so shaped as to prevent its coming
into contact with the hinges or pivots of the lid a³ when the lining is raised in the
casing.
The foregoing is given merely as an example of one way of carrying the invention
into effect, and various modifications may be made without departing from the
essential features of the invention; for example, instead of the retaining brackets E
I may provide pins or projections on the handles D and holes or recesses in the
walls a wherewith these pins may engage, or the reverse of this arrangement or
spring catches may be employed for the purpose.
The casing A at its lower part may be extended downwards or be provided with
flanges or other suitable devices for giving it the necessary stability in the ground,
and as shown in Fig. 2 it may be provided with an opening as and a floor as so as
to enable the space beneath the inclined wall a² to serve as a receptacle for shingle,
gravel or the like for distribution over the roadway.
may apply my present invention to an existing "street orderly bin" by
removing the front wall and the sliding door thereof and substituting for them the
before described removeable lining and providing the necessary fastenings.
For facilitating the emptying of the contents of the lining B into say a scavenger's
cart, I may provide on said cart a pivotted shelf or bracket on which the lining
The
may be supported and easily tipped over to deliver its contents into the cart.
shelf may be capable of adjustment on the pivot rail so as to enable the contents of
the lining to be delivered into any desired part of the cart.
It will be obvious that instead of the casing's having three walls the back as well
as the front may be dispensed with, or the casing may be merely in the form
of a frame, the top which may itself constitute the lid being supported on four
standards.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is:
1. In a refuse receptacle the combination with a casing short of a wall or having
an opening at one or more of its sides of a removeable lining adapted to fit into the
casing, and a portion of which closes the opening or openings or constitutes the
missing wall or walls of the casing substantially as herein before described.
2. In a refuse receptacle the combination of a casing short of a wall or having
an opening at one or more of its sides, a lid or door connected to the upper part of
the casing, and a removeable lining adapted to fit into the casing, and a portion of
which closes the opening or openings or constitutes the missing wall or walls of the
casing substantially as herein before described.
3. In a refuse receptacle the combination with a casing such as described and a
removeable lining such as B adapted to fit into it of one or more devices, such for
example as the bars C, c, c¹ and brackets E for retaining the lining within the
casing substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
4. In a refuse receptacle the combination with a casing such as A of a

page_text: removeable lining such as B having one or more bars such as C, c, c¹ and handles
pivotted to the bars substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
