A Galvanized Iron Sanitary Bin, of such shape as may be convenient with a movable
wire sieve, fitted on a spindle inside and working with a rocking motion, the said
motion being communicated to the spindle by a handle fitted to it on the outside
of bin.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Sanitary Dust Bin and Cinder Sieve Combined.
I, FRANK PAGET, of No. 172 Old Street, Saint Lukes, in the county of Middlesex,
Iron Plate Worker, 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:—
The object of my invention is to provide a convenient bin for ashes and refuse,
fitted with a sieve to separate cinders from ashes, and an appliance to deliver the
cinders into a pail or other receptacle; and to use the ashes as a covering and
deodorizer of vegetable or other offensive matter which may be contained in the bin.

page_text: My invention consists of bins of various shapes, preferably of the ordinary
rectangular or cylindrical form, made of Galvanized Iron, having a fixed top with a
hinged lid or cover in centre to admit of the cinder rubbish being put into the sieve.
In the upper part of the bin a spindle is fitted directly across, taking its. bearing on
the sides, which for this purpose are strengthened by having circular plates rivetted
to them perforated to carry the spindle.
A sieve of wire netting corresponding very nearly in shape to the bin into which it
is fitted, having a plain sheet metal frame with a gap in front to permit the delivery
of cinders, is attached horizontally to the spindle and is put in motion by a handlo
fitted to one end of the spindle on the outside of bin. The aforesaid handle com-
municating a rocking or tilting motion to the sieve.
In the front of bin near the top, a tilting lip or spout is fitted which serves as a
shoot for the conveyance of cinders from the sieve, into a pail or other receptacle ;
and as a means of depositing vegetable or animal refuse too large to go through the
sieve or unsuitable for sifting in the lower part of bin.
At the bottom, in the front or side of the bin as may be most convenient, a hinged
door is fitted which may be let down or taken away at will; when open allowing the
easy removal of rubbish from the dust chamber.
I effect my object in the following way, The mixture of cinders and ashes is put
into the sieve through the door A. Fig. 1. The sieve is then rocked by means of the
handle B. Fig. 1, and on the lip C. Fig. 1, being let down as at D. Fig. 2 and
the sieve tilted the cinders pour on to the lip, and thence into the pail or other
receptacle placed to receive them. To place vegetable or other matter unsuitable
for sifting in the lower part of bin it is necessary to let the sieve fall into its normal
position shewn at E. Fig. 2, and lower the tilting lip half way, which in this position
forms a shoot down which cabbage leaves and other offensive matter unsuitable for
sifting may be shot into the lower part of bin in which position the process of sifting
speedily covers them with a layer of ashes and practically deodorizes them.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Fig. 1 is the exterior of my Sanitary Dust Bin and Cinder Sieve Combined.
Fig. 2 is a cross section of the same, shewing the position when stationary and also
the traverse of sieve, and the position and traverse of lip or spout.
Fig. 3 shews the bin with the top and part of the sides removed in order to show
more clearly the shape and position of sieve.
Fig. 4 shows the particular kind of hinge adopted for the clearing out door.
The shape of bin described in the foregoing statement is not new, and forms no part
of my invention, what is new and what I have discovered is a rocking sieve, and a
tilting lip or spout the two to be used in combination with the bin as described.
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
1. A wire sieve fitted to a Sanitary Dust Bin and working with a rocking or tilting
motion, substantially as described.
2. A tilting lip or spout, for the delivery of cinders into a receptacle, and as a
means for conveying refuse into the bin, substantially as described.
