WILLIAM ANTHONY BURROW,
44, Osnaburgh Street, Regent's Park, N.W.
WILLIAM ANTHONY BURROW, Designer, of 19, Sun Street, Lancaster, late of 44,
Osnaburgh Street, London, N.W., 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:-
The improvement is in the form of spittoon with the object of avoiding the in-
convenience of detached spittoons as at present used in public house bars. The
improved spittoon is intended to be permanently fixed into any wall or counter
in public-house or hotel bars, billiard rooms, or any place in which it may be
suitably applied. The spittoon is carried in a quadrant-shaped box, the pecu-
liarly invented shape of which allows it to revolve in & out of a square hox on
0.7

page_text: pivots. The casing of the spittoon, which can be made either in wood or metal-
is fixed to any counter by perforating the counter front to the size of box frame
containing spittoon, & fastened to it by means of iron angle-plates screwed to
back of counter. This spittoon in quadrant shaped box can be carried in two
ways, one in a drawer to pull out, the other as a loose pan to lift out for cleansing
purposes. When the spittoon is closed it appears as a panel in the counter &
can be opened for use by any person's foot or walking stick.
Fig. 1, Sheet 1. Shows plan of quadrant shaped box containing moveable
drawer with spittoon C which swings on pivots H from square box A fitted to
counter front B. This swing box G has a brass foot plate I fixed to front panel
& by which the swing box is drawn out for use by any person's foot. A stop E
is fixed to bottom of box to prevent box projecting too far & which works in a
slot shewn by dotted lines. Fig. 2 shows perspective view of spittoon when drawn
out for use. The means of fixing spittoon to back of counter is by two iron angle-
plates marked F. Fig. 3 shows view of drawer with spittoon with moveable tray
as shown in section Fig. 4. This drawer has flush handle & bolt, & can be fixed
or taken out of swing box for cleansing purposes. Fig. 5, Sheet 2. Elevation of
spittoon when closed showing brass foot plate 1). Fig. 6, shows section of same-
counter front marked B.
Fig. 7 perspective view of swing box with pan to lift out. Fig. 8, section of
pan to lift out. Fig. 9, represents the foot-plate. Fig. 10 section one half full
size through gun-metal pivots, with plans of pivot & bush.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. Perforating the counter front for the purpose of projecting the spittoon
through it.
2. Carrying the spittoon in a box shaped so as to permit of its revolving in
and out from the counter.
