I GEORGE CAMM Leadmill Steel Works, Sheffield in the County of York,
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCUTTLES FOR COAL OR COKE to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in the construction of Coke or Coal
Scuttles having particular reference to such scuttles as are used for feeding "slow
combustion stoves" or other similar stoves which are usually fed at or near the
top of the stove.
The object of my invention is to dispense with the use of shovels or scoops, by
which the coal or coke is usually taken from the scuttle and put into the stove;
and it consists in forming the scuttle in a tapered form of any desired configuration
in its cross section, the upper and smaller part of the scuttle is formed into a kind
of spout of suitable shape to enable the coal or coke to be delivered direct into the
opening of the stove. A Handle is placed in a convenient position near the top,
by which it may be carried, and held whilst being tipped up, by the aid of a
smaller fixed handle near the bottom of the scuttle.

I, GEORGE CAMM Leadmill Steel Works, Sheffield in the County of York
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SCUTTLES FOR COAL OR COKE and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, that is to say :—
My invention of improvements in the construction of Scuttles for Coal or Coke
has more particular reference to such scuttles as are used for feeding "slow
combustion stoves "-
'-or other similar stoves that are fed or supplied with coal or
coke at or near the top of the stove.
The object of my invention is to dispense with the use of shovels or scoops, by
which the coal or coke is usually taken from the scuttle and put into the stove;
it consists in forming the body of the scuttle in a tapered or parallel shape of any
desired configuration in its cross section, the upper part, (which is also the smaller
part of the scuttle) is formed into a kind of spout or scoop of a suitable shape
to enable the coal or coke to be delivered direct into the opening or mouth of the
stove.
A Handle is placed in a convenient position near the top of the scuttle, by
which it may be carried, and held whilst being tipped up by the aid of a smaller
fixed handle near the bottom of the scuttle.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood, I have annexed a
sheet of drawings, showing a perspective view of a scuttle constructed according
to my invention in a tapered form.
A. is the tapered body of the scuttle.
B. is the spout, C, is the handle to carry by.
D. a small bandle, used when tipping up the scuttle to feed the stove.
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 construction of scuttles for coal or coke in such a manner as to form a
combination of scuttle and scoop substantially as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated.
