Improvements relating to Means for Collecting and Transferring
House and Street Refuse or Dusty Materials.
I, SAMUEL LEPOLD KINSBRUNER, Technical Engineer, of 59, Cranachstrasse,
Friedenau, in the Empire of Germany, do hereby declare the nature of this in-
vention to be as follows:
This invention relates to the collection or the transfer from one receiver to
another of refuse or other dusty material in a manner entirely free from the
diffusion of dust and to simplify the means required as much as possible.
In the annexed drawing there is shown a collecting car as a form of construc-
tion of this invention:-
Fig. 1 shows a side view of the car. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Figs. 3
and 4 are views of the closing traps of the car on a larger scale. Fig. 5 is a plan
view of the collecting box.
The car, is provided at the sides and behind with receiving openings, which
are closed outwards by means of the hereinafter described traps. In the wall of
the car or in the projections thereon forming the receiving opening there are
arranged frames 1, which are turnable towards the interior of the car and each
of which is connected with the rearward equally turnable cover 2, by means of
jointed levers 3, a piece 4 of the cover 2 is formed of canvas or otherwise flexibly
for the purpose of obtaining greater mobility. On the frame 1 there is joined
on the top a closure lid 5 turnable inwards, which on its under, slightly project-
ing border is provided with a slot 6 (Fig. 3). The frame 1 is provided also with
hooks 8 for suspending the collecting box 7, these hooks however may also be
provided on the car body itself.
The collecting box 7 is provided with a usual hinged lid 9, which carries on
the front a bow shaped projection 10. Around the box 7 there is fixed a laterally
projecting border 11 of angle iron or the like, in which in the form of construction
illustrated there are provided the eyes 12 serving for hanging up the box.
The before described device is used and operates in the following manner:
The box 7 to be emptied is hung with the eyes 12 onto the hooks 8 Fig. 3 and
turned upwards. As soon as the box has made a revolution of 90°, its laterally
projecting border comes into contact with the frame 1 and lies tightly against
the same whilst the bow 10 of the box lid 9 engages with the slot 6 of the closure
lid 5. At the further revolution of the case 7 the frame 1 and the cover 2 are
pushed back in the manner shown in Fig. 4, whereby the box lid 9 and the lid 5 open
automatically in consequence of their connection, so that the refuse in the case 7
can fall into the interior of the car. The end position, in which the parts rest
on the stop 13, is shown in Fig. 3 in dotted lines. When the box 7 is turned
back the parts 2, 4, 1, 5, forming the trap are again brought back automatically
into their previous position. As the receiving opening is always closed outwardly by
the box 7 itself when turned over or by the lid 5 when this box is turned back no
dust can become diffused in the outer air when the collecting box is emptied.

page_text: The tight closure of the box 7 against the frame 1 is much assisted by the
border 11 on the box. It may also be mentioned, that principles, after which
the described car is built, c
, can also be used for stationary collecting arrangements.

Improvements relating to Means for Collecting and Transferring
House and Street Refuse or Dusty Materials.
I, SAMUEL LEPOLD KINSBRUNER, of 59, Cranachstrasse, Friedenau, in the
Empire of Germany, Technical Engineer, 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:-...
:
This invention relates to the collection or the transfer from one receiver to
another of refuse or other dusty material in a manner entirely free from the
diffusion of dust and to simplify the means required as much as possible.
In the drawing left with my Provisional Specification there is shown a collect-
ing car as a form of construction of this invention.
Fig. 1 shows a side view of the car. Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof. Figs. 3
and 4 are views of the closing traps of the car on a larger scale. Fig. 5 is a plan
view of the collecting box.
The car is provided at the sides and behind with receiving openings, which
are closed by means of the hereinafter described traps. In the wall of
the car or in the projections thereon forming the receiving opening, there are
arranged frames 1, which are turnable towards the interior of the car and each
of which is connected with the rearward, equally turnable cover 2, by means of
jointed levers 3, a piece 4 of the cover 2 is formed of canvas or otherwise flexibly
for the purpose of obtaining greater mobility. On the frame 1 there is joined
on the top a closure lid 5 turnable inwards, which on its under, slightly project-
ing border is provided with a slot 6 (Fig. 3). The frame 1 is provided also with
hooks 8 for suspending the collecting box 7, these hooks however may also be
provided on the car body itself.
The collecting box 7 is provided with a usual hinged lid, which carries on
the front a bow shaped projection 10. Around the box 7 there is fixed a laterally
projecting border 11 of angle iron or the like, in which in the form of construction
illustrated there are provided the eyes 12 serving for hanging up the box.
The before described device is used and operates in the following manner: -
The box 7 to be emptied is hung with the eyes 12 onto the hooks 8 (Fig. 3) and
turned upwards. As soon as the box has made a revolution of 90°, its laterally
projecting border comes into contact with the frame 1 and lies tightly against
the same whilst the bow 10 of the box lid 9 engages with the slot 6 of the closure
lid 5. At the further revolution of the case 7 the frame 1 and the cover 2 are
pushed back in the manner shown in Fig. 4, whereby the box lid 9 and the lid 5 open
automatically in consequence of their connection, so that the refuse in the case 7
can fall into the interior of the car. The end position in which the parts rest
on the stop 13, is shown in Fig. 3 in dotted lines. When the box 7 is turned
back the parts 2, 4, 1, 5, forming the trap are again brought back automatically
into their previous position. As the receiving opening is always closed outwardly by
the box 7 itself when turned over or by the lid 5 when this box is turned back, no
dust can become diffused in the outer air when the collecting box is emptied.

page_text: The tight closure of the box 7 against the frame 1 is much assisted by the
border 11 on the box.
It may also be mentioned, that the principles after which the described car is
built, can also be used for stationary collecting arrangements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. The apparatus for collecting house refuse or dusty material, without diffusion
of the dust having an arrangement for closing its receiving openings, formed by
a turnable frame 1 connected with the cover 2 of the collecting box and closure
lid 5 on the top movable to the inside so that by overturning of the collecting
box 7 lying with its cover side on the frame 1, it passes into connection with its
cover so as to open automatically the lid 5 and the box cover and to close them auto-
matically on the return of the box.
2. The collecting box 7 above described provided with a laterally projecting
border 11 in order to close entirely the two parts when laying the box on the frame 1.
3. The construction of the aforesaid apparatus substantially as described and.
illustrated in the drawings.
