improved Means and Apparatus for Facilitating the Reception
and Removal of Dust, Ashes, and other Refuse.
1, JAMES JOSEPH HARVEY of The Grove Kidderminster in the County of Worcester
Wine Merchant de hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is the abolition of the old fashioned dust bin and
provide instead a more cleanly and convenient arrangement for the reception an
removal of dust and ashes and other refuse by the use of sacks.
For this purpose I employ a moveable frame so formed that when it is leaning
against a wall or other support the mouth of a sack can readily and easily be attached
to it and the sack be held securely in an upright position with its mouth fully open so
as then to serve as a receptacle for dust ashes or other refuse. When sufficiently full
the sack can at once be released and the frame shifted away from the sack the mouth
of the sack being tied up and the sack allowed to remain where it first stood to await
removal. An empty sack may then be attached to the frame alongside the one filled
and so on to any convenient number. I propose that the filled sacks should be
removed bodily to the place where the refuse is to be deposited thus avoiding the
present nuisance from shovelling and the attendant dust a similar number of empty
sacks being left by the persons removing those filled.
The frame I form of angle iron-the upper part is formed of a horse shoe hend―
from each end of which a straight leg descends to any required distance the lower
ends of the legs are secured together by a tie bar.
The legs are to be leant against a wall or support and the mouth of the sack then
passed up through the bend and turned outwards over it and secured by means of
eyelets in the sack being passed over studs projecting from the outer side of the bend
of the frame.
The bottom of the sack is allowed to rest on the ground or on an openwork platform
provided to keep it just clear of the ground-I also provide the frame with a lid
hinged to it at the top to cover over the open mouth of the sack and to retain the dust
and keep off rain if used in an uncovered place.

I, JAMES JOSEPH HARVEY of The Grove, Kidderminster, in the County of
Worcester, Wine 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:
The object of my invention is the abolition of the old fashioned dust bin and to
provide instead a more cleanly and convenient arrangement for the reception and
removal of dust and ashes and other refuse by the use of sacks.
For this purpose I employ a moveable frame so formed that when it is leaning
against a wall or other support the mouth of a sack can readily and easily be
attached to it and the sack be held securely in an upright position with its mouth
fully open so as then to serve as a receptacle for ilust ashes or other refuse. When
sufficiently full the sack can at once be released and the frame shifted away from the
sack, the mouth of the sack being tied up and the sack allowed to remain where it first
stood to await removal. An empty sack may then be attached to the frame alongside
the one filled and so on to any convenient number. I propose that the filled sacks
should be removed bodily to the place where the refuse is to be deposited thus avoiding
the present nuisance from shovelling and the attendant dust, a similar number of
empty sacks being left by the persons removing those filled.
The frame I form of angle iron--the upper part is formed of a horse shoe bend--
from each end of which a straight leg descends to any required distance the lower
ends of the legs are secured together by a tie bar.
The legs are to be leant against a wall or support and the mouth of the sack then
passed up through the bend and turned outwards over it and secured by means of
eyelets in the sack being passed over studs projecting from the outer side of the bend
of the frame.
The bottom of the sack is allowed to rest on the ground or on an openwork platform
provided to keep it just clear of the ground. I also provide the frame with a lid
hinged to it at the top to cover over the open mouth of the sack and to retain the dust
and keep off rain if used in an uncovered place.
In order that my said invention may be fully understood and readily carried into
effect I will proceed to describe the drawings hereunto annexed.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the sack support in place leaning against a wall or
support. Figure 2 is a front elevation and Figure 3 is a plan of the same. Figure 4
is a perspective view showing the sack holder with the sack upon it.
a, a, are the legs of the sack holder, they are connected at the bottom by the
horizontal barb and at the top by a horse-soc bend c. This frame may conveniently

page_text: be formed of a light angle or other bar of iron bent to the form shown. The sack
holder may or may not have a pivoted lid d but it is preferred that a lid should be
provided. Around the sides of the horse shoe form top bar hooks or points are
provided to hold the mouth of the sack and on the lid also are suitable attachments so
that the sack is held as is shown in Figure 4. The sack is cut on either side so that
the lip of the sack may be able to turn down over the front bar of the sack holder.
The lid when closed covers the mouth of the sack and conceals its contents it is readily
opened and the sack is then ready to receive anything it may be desired to place in
it. When a lid is not provided the arrangement is substantially similar but less
complete.
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
The improved means for. facilitating the reception and removal of dust, ashes and
other refuse and the apparatus consisting of the parts a, b and c with or without the lid d
substantially as described.
