"
This invention relates to improvements in the receptacles for street refuse,
known as "street orderlies," the object being to put the receptacles out of sight
when not actually being filled or unfilled.
The invention is carried out as follows:-A boxing or well is sunk below the
street level and has provided thereto a hinged lid or cover which can be closed.
Attached to the said lid or cover by link or hooks and studs are removable
receptacles for containing the refuse, and when the lid is opened the boxes will
be lifted in a direction following a curve struck from the hinged lid, or when
attached by a link, the link will turn upon its centres or articulations and lift the
receptacle vertically (in the first case the receptacle may be rectangular, and in the
second it may be half round on one side) in either case the receptacles will be
provided with handles or straps for lifting them and at once discharging their
contents into the waste removal cart.
When out of use, the lid or cover is laid down into position and the whole will
be covered up out of sight.
In the drawings hereunto annexed Fig 1 shows a form of construction of these
improved street orderlies as seen when open. Fig 2 represents the same when
closed down.
The boxing or well a is sunk beneath the pavement or street level and is closed
by the lid b, which is hinged to the boxing at c.
The removable receptacle d
being suspended from or attached to the lid b on either side, by the studs e
engaging in the hooks f formed upon or attached to the lid b. Rings or handles
are provided on either side of the receptacle for convenience of removal and &
ring b¹ or other suitable contrivance is attached to the lid 6 for opening and closing
the same.
Figs 3 and 4 are end views partly in section of a modification of the apparatus
wherein the receptacle d is rectangular in form and is supported on a rising and
falling plate h which is suspended on either side from the lid b, by the link 2, said
links being pivotted to the lid at k and to the plate h at k¹. Friction rollers or
wheels are provided in the plate h to assist the working thereof.
The apparatus is seen open in Fig 3 and in Fig 4 the same is shown closed
down.
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 —
The improvements in street orderlies or refuse receptacles constructed and
