mprovements in Apparatus for Collecting and Carrying Off Dust,
Rubbish, Coal, or other Offensive or Dusty Materials.
I SAMUEL LEOPOLD KINSBRUNER, Painter of Tresckowstrasse 47, Berlin in
he Empire of Germany do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
nanner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
n and by the following statement :-
The present invention relates to carts or other apparatus for use in collecting and
carrying off dust, rubbish, coal and other offensive or dusty material and is intended
to prevent the inconvenienco caused by spreading or flying dust or particles. For
this purpose its object is to facilitate the raising and tipping over of a preliminary
receiving box attached to the main receiver into which it is intended to be emptied
and to prevent excessive accumulation of the rubbish, dust or other material in that
part of the main receiver which is immediately under the place of discharge of the
preliminary receiving box.
The improvements consist in the arrangement or addition to the cart or other
receiver of a lever device for the purpose of tipping over the box to be emptied
into the said receiver and further of a distributing rake for moving the stuff thus
put into the cart.
As an example of this improved apparatus, there is shown in the annexed
drawings a dust cart which illustrates the invention, Fig. 1 being a side elevation
partly in section and Fig. 2 a cross section thereof.
The box n suspended at the upper side edge of the receiver wis raised by means
of a lever apparatus operated from the hand lever a for the purpose of being
Lever a is keyed to the axle of a bevelled cog-
emptied into the said receiver w.
wheel which revolves in bearings attached to the receiver to and engages with
The latter is provided
another bevelled cogwheel c keyed on the longitudinal axle d.
with two arms e which are movably connected by means of bars f with two corre-
sponding arms h that are adapted to be turned about the axle g at the upper edge of
the said receiver w. The arms press with the connecting bar o at their ends against
the back wall of the box n the lower ends of the arins e being connected by means
of cords or chains k to the slides that serves to open or close the receiver w.
The mode of operation of the lever apparatus thus described is as follows:-
On turning forward the hand lever a the box is raised by the arms and their
connecting bar o; its tipping over and emptying are thus accomplished in the
manner illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the cover of the box n as well as the
slides of the receiver w being opened simultaneously so that the contents of said
5 box are caused to drop into the receiver.
On turning back the lever a, the cords or chains & will return the slides and the
box n to their original position.
It is manifest that this lever apparatus can be replaced by a suitably arranged
chain work or any other similar mechanical means, without departing from the
0 scope of the present invention.
In order to prevent accumulation of the stuff in the centre of the receiver wa
distributing rake m is provided which runs on rollers that are guided in grooves
This rake is adapted to be
of irons arranged under the cover of the receiver w.
moved to and fro for the purpose of distributing the dust or rubbish in the cart by
5 means of an endless chain p or the like passing over rollers one of which is

page_text: It is understood that the improved devices above described may be applied to
stationary appliances for instance for loading coal on ships and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
1. The combination with a receiver forming part of a dust cart or otherwise of a
lifting device consisting of a lever apparatus by means of which a box attached to
the reservoir can be raised and tipped over into said receiver.
2. The combination with a receiver forming part of a dust cart or otherwise, of
a rake which is moved to and fro within the receiver to distribute the contents, said
rake being manipulated by a chain-work or the like.
3. The improved cart for collection of dust or the like having a lifting device in
combination with means for removing and replacing a slide cover of the receiver of
said cart and rake for distribution of the contents thereof substantially as described
and illustrated.
