I PATRICK O'DONNELL of 113 Houndsditch London Tailor 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 :-
My invention relates to that class of sieves or screens adapted to screen or sift
coal, sand, gravel or any material which requires to be sifted or screened, and by
the aid of my invention one man can screen and fill sacks, bags, barrows or the
like doing the work of three or four men.
In the accompanying drawing I have shown how my invention may be
conveniently and advantageously carried into practice.
Figure 1 is a front view of my apparatus.
Figure 2 is a sectional view on line x x Figure 1.
A is the frame work of the screw, sieve or the like supported by legs or a leg a
according to circumstances. B, B, are the legs or extensions of the said frame raising
it from the ground (which position the frame occupies in sieves or screens heretofore
used) so as to enable a sack E, barrow or the like to be placed beneath a pouch or
pocket C provided with a nose or funnel c attached to the front of the frame A by
means of thumb nuts and screws a² or by any suitable means.
The frame A is moreover provided with a pouch or pocket D at the back of the
said frame, being attached thereto by thumb nuts and screws a³ or by any suitable
means.
This pocket or pouch D is provided at its lower end with a nose, funnel or
extension D' projecting back from the said screen.
The operation is as follows. The screen being placed in position sacks bags,
barrows or the like are placed under the nose funnel or extensions of the pockets
or pouches and coal, sand, gravel or any suitable material is thrown against the
wires a of the screen or sieve, the fine material passing through the meshes into
the pocket D down to the nose D₁ and into the receptacle E' placed beneath said
nose, the coarse material falling in front of the screen down the pocket or pouch C
through nose c into receptacle E likewise placed beneath said nose.

page_text: The back part 2 of the pocket C is made to lie close to the mesh a¹ as seen in
Figure 2 to prevent any material passing between said mesh and pouch. The
same arrangement being applied to the pocket D.
The points c of the said pocket or pouch C are made higher than the front c
in order to catch any material falling sideways for a somewhat similar reason viz. to
prevent the sieved material being thrown out the rear pocket D is carried up nearly
if not to the top of the screen or sieve. 6 are bars or strips of any suitable material
for throwing said pockets outward from each other.
I prefer to form my pockets or pouches of sheet iron but it is obvious that any
suitable material may be used without departing from the scope of my invention,
and likewise I may vary the height of my said screen or sieve to suit various
receptacles by making the legs B adjustable.
When used for filling sacks, bags or the like I provide hooks or catches c³ on
the said pouches or pockets for holding sacks, bags or the like around the nose or
funnels.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. In combination with a sieve or screen the arrangement, of a front pocket or
pouch which is provided with a nose having hooks, catches or the like for holding
sacks bags or the like and which is designed for conducting the coarse material into
a sack or receptacle substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
2. In combination with a sieve or screen the arrangement of a rear pocket or
pouch which is provided with a nose or funnel having hooks, catches or the like
for holding sacks, bags or the like and designed for catching the sieved or screened
material and conducting it through a nose or funnel into a sack or other receptacle
substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore set forth.
3. In combination with a sieve or screen having adjustable legs the arrangement
of a front pocket or pouch and a rear pocket or pouch substantially and for the
purpose herein before set forth.
4. A sieve or screen arranged and constructed as and for the purpose set forth
with reference to the accompanying drawing.
