be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in sanitary receptacles, bins, or pails, and
has for its object a method and means whereby said receptacles, bins, or pails, can
be kept clean and in perfect sanitary condition.
In order that my invention and the manner of operating the same may be

improvements constituting the subject matter of my invention.
Fig. 2. is a plan view of Fig. 1. with the cover removed for the purpose of
illustrating the position and formation of the respective internal parts.
Fig. 3. is a sectional elevation of a receptacle, bin, or pail showing the application
of an automatic expanding scraper for cleaning the inside of the receptacle, bin,
or pail.
Fig. 4. is a plan view of Fig. 3. with the cover removed.
Similar letters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts throughout
the drawings.
In carrying my invention into effect, I provide a receptacle, bin, or pail A (for
receiving refuse) which may be of any size or shape, and of any suitable material
or substance, I provide a revolving bottom B, which may be supported by an
annular ring C. Figs. 1 and 2, or by bars D, Fig. 4, fastened to the casing E,

knife or scraper G and at the same time revolving the bottom B, by means of the
handle F, the surface rubbing against the knife or scraper G, is thoroughly
-cleaned.
I also may provide ventilation holes I when necessary in the bottom of the
receptacle bin, or pail, just above the revolving bottom B.
I provide a cover K. to fit the top of the receptacle, bin, or pail A. Attached to
the inner side of this cover, is a ventilator L having holes or spaces M, for the
-escape of the foul gases arising from the refuse, which pass off through the flue or
-opening N.
In Fig. 1. attached to the flue or funnel N. is shewn another ventilator O, which
I use in conjunction with any suitable chemical or chemicals, for deodorizing the
-escaping gases.
I also shew in Fig. 1. a compresser P. made of iron or any other suitable
material, and fitting the receptacle, bin, or pail, internally this compresser P. is for
the purpose of pressing down the refuse, and consists as shewn in Fig. 1. of a cross
frame surrounded by an annular ring.
In Fig. 3 is shewn an automatic expanding scraper Q, the scraper consists of two
semicircular pieces of steel or other suitable material which overlap each other, to
these semicircular pieces are attached double eyes r, r¹, and s, s¹ respectively, these
double eyes are connected by links T, to double eyes u. in the head V, the head V,
is if necessary provided with a handle W, for the purpose of rotating the scraper,
this scraper Q is adapted for cylindrical receptacles, bins, or pails.
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 I
-claim is :-
In an improved sanitary receptacle, bin, or pail, for receiving refuse, a revolving
bottom B, in conjunction with a knife or scraper G, substantially as and for the
purposes herein described and shewn by the drawings hereunto appended.
Dated this 26th day of January 1893.
