By our method, we adopt a cover and lid, any shape or pattern, which may be

or pivots, and opened and closed with one or more springs, by pressure with the
hand, on lever attached to cover and lid.

A Cover and Lid for Cinder Sifting and other Shovels and the like.
We, THOMAS BRINDLE, of 62, Market Street, Chorley, Lancashire, Ironmonger,
and JOHN RICHARD ELLISON, of 41, Hamilton Road, Chorley, aforesaid, Railway
Clerk, 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, that is to say:
-
It relates to the application of a cover and lid to cinder sifting and other
shovels and the like whereby said utensils are rendered more serviceable and better
able to perform the functions desired of them than they have been as heretofore
constructed.
In carrying our invention into effect we make use of the devices and follow the
method of construction hereinafter described and as illustrated by the accompany-
ing sheet of drawings wherein;-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cinder sifting shovel made in accordance with
our invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional side view of same.
Fig. 3 is a view of the shovel as seen from above.
To attain the object of our invention we construct the bottom or sieve part a
of the shovel of the ordinary trellis work, but have its edge protected by a
covering of sheet metal. The side walls c of the shovel are formed solid or not
open or perforated since we wish to cover or make such walls to retain any sub-
stance being treated and prevent its escape over or through these walls.
The rear portion of the shovel is also covered by a part d so that any ashes

page_text: cinders or the like being treated are prevented from being thrown over or allowed
to escape at this part, while we hinge a lid f at f¹ to the part d so that on the
shovel being filled with the cinders to be sifted this lid may be closed down to
prevent any dust or light particles of matter from rising therefrom during the
sifting operations.
To keep the lid f down in its closed position any flat or coiled spring device
may be employed as will be well understood.
Although only one form or shape of shovel is illustrated by our drawings we
are aware that many and varied shapes and forms of same may be produced
wherein our improvements might be employed with advantage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
Cinder sifting shovels and the like the same having covers, lids and parts con-
structed and applied substantially as herein specified.
