Improvements in Dust Receptacles called Sanitary Dust Bins.
HENRY HEARD ARNOLD, 37, Saint Mary Axe, London, E.C., in the County of
Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Improvements in dust receptacles, called sanitory dust bins, in all shapes and all
sizes, made of black sheet iron and if necessary galvanized after made or of gal-
vanized steel sheet iron each dust bin to be fitted with a cover or lid, and each
dust bin to contain a seive rest, supported with knobs and the like, also a seive
with a metal or wood rim with a handle attached, either rivetted a fixture, or a
loose handle fitted with a bracket to receive the handle with nuts and screws
to fix it or with rivets to fasten it, and the like. The seives to be of any mesh
required for the purpose of sifting anything. Ventilation by means of small
holes at the side. The handle of seive to be of iron bar, or of strong iron wire.
The sanitory dust bin to have a slot or opening down the front size about 3"
and about 1/4" wide, and a piece of iron to strengthen the slot, these improve-
ments are for the purpose of enabling the user to move the seive too and fro by
the handle which projects through the slot in dust bin. The seive to have
buffers of india rubber, or cork fitted by nuts and screws or rivetted, and such
like to prevent noise in the working.

Improvements in Dust Receptacles called Sanitary Dust Bins.
HENRY HEARD ARNOLD, 37, Saint Mary Axe, London, E.C., Hardware Merchant,
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:-
Improvements in dust receptacles called sanitary dust bins in all shapes and
all sizes, made of black sheet iron and galvanized after made if required or made
of galvanized steel sheet, or metal plates, or any other metal or material.
Each dust bin to be fitted with a cover either to lift off, or to slide or a lid of
any kind. Each dust bin to contain a sieve rest as the drawings Fig. 1 or 2
(but one only to each). Each sieve rest to be supported by means of brackets,
knobs, screws or rivetted, or the like, the sieve rest to be made with any number of
bars, or in any shape as the case may be each sieve rest to have a clear centre
so to admit any small ordinary vegetable being thrown into the bin without

page_text: taking out the sieve rest. Knobs Fig. 10. Each dust bin is to have a sieve of
any mesh required for the purpose of sifting anything, Fig. 3 or 4 with a metal
or wood rim, with a handle attached Fig. 5. The handle to be made of iron
or other material, straight, or bent, either rivetted a fixture, or a loose handle
fitted with a bracket Fig. 6 to receive the handle, and nuts and screws, or a nut
and bolt through a hole in the handle for the purpose of keeping the handle firm
and in position, or by means of rivets only.
The handle Fig. 5 can be (if necessary) removed from the sieve for the purpose
of the sieve being made convenient for packing. Each sieve Fig. 3 or 4 to have
one or more handles Fig. 7 rivetted at side of sieve by means of a piece of iron
or other metal, these handles are for the purpose of lifting the sieve, on, or off
the sieve rest. The sieve to have, if required, buffers of india rubber Fig. 8 or
other material fixed by small nut and screw, or nuts and screws or the like, these
buffers will prevent noise when the sieve is being moved too and fro—viz. forward
and backward for the purpose of sifting or riddling anything.
Ventilation to be by means of several small holes at the side of the bin.
The dust bin to have a slot, or an opening in the front Fig. 9, size about three
inches long and one and a half inch wide, and if required a piece of iron to
strengthen the slot, and if necessary to strengthen the bin an iron band fixed
either inside or outside. This device is for the purpose of enabling the sieve
to be moved forward and backward on the sieve rest by means of the handle which
is fastened to the sieve, and when in position for being used will project through
the slot in front of the bin-so that any material can be sifted, strained, or
riddled with the lid or cover on, or not on Fig. 11. Fig. 12 is a view of the bin
complete.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
A dust receptacle called a sanitary dust bin with the following attachments,
Sieve rest.
Sieve of any mesh required, with front handle and one or two side handles.
Brackets.
Slot and if required strengthening piece and band.
Ventilating holes-buffers-attached to a dust receptacle called a sanitary
dust bin.
