Improvements in and connected with Bins or Receptacles for Holding
Household Ashes or other Refuse, and in Mode of Emptying the
same.
I, JAMES FERGUSON, of 18, Colquhoun Square, Helensburgh, Dumbartonshue,
Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to and comprises certain new or improved modes
of arranging or constructing, and of emptying bins or receptacles for holding
household ashes or other refuse
The nature and novelty of the improvements consist as follows.
The bins or receptacles are cylindical or globular, or polygonal, in shape or
form, or a combination of two or more of said forms
Each bin or receptical has central axles or spindles on which it can be turned
or revolved when required.
Said axles or spindles rest on blocks, or on brackets, or on frames, sufficiently
high to leave an open space between the lower part of the bin or receptical and
the floor or ground In said open space under the bin or receptacle the cleansing
department set their carrying box each time they empty the bin.
Each bin or receptacle has an open part on its top side to admit ashes or refuse
in the usual way
When the bin or receptacle requires to be emptied it has simply to be turned
or revolved on its axles or spindles untill its open part 18 below or under, and its
bottom uppermost, then the ashes or refuse fall right down into the cleansing
department's carrying box, which they remove in the usual way
The bin or receptical when empty turns or revolves into position with its open
part upward, again ready to receive ashes or refuse
Lids or covers may be fitted over the bins or recepticals when desired
The bins or receptacles &c may be constructed of any suitable materials, and
made any size required.

I, JAMES FERGUSON, of 18, Colquhoun Square, Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire,
Joiner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
D

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:
-
This invention has reference to and comprises certain new or improved modes of
arranging and constructing bins or receptacles for holding household ashes or other
refuse, and also in mode of emptying the same.
The bins may be any size required, and any shape or form selected.
Preferably the cylindrical shape or form with close ends will be most suitable
for description, and easiest understood.
Each bin has an open part on its upper or top side to admit ashes or other refuse
in the usual way, and each bin is provided with central or other axles or spindles
or pivots or the like, whereby or whereon the bin can be easily turned or revolved
when required.
"
Each bin is borne up off the ground or floor by its said axles or spindles or pivots
or the like, which rest on suitable brackets or other hearers, which are fixed suffi-
ciently high on a wall or on posts or the like. So that a clear or open space is
left or formed under each bin, between the bin and the ground or floor.
In said clear or open space, the cleansing or other party place a suitable carry-
ing box, or barrow, or the like, each time they desire to empty the said bin.
The method of emptving said raised up bin is the following. Each bin or
receptacle has simply to be turned or revolved on its axles or pivots or the like.
until its open part or mouth be downwards, its contents will fall into the said
carrying box or the like, when placed in proper position under the bin
Said carrying box or the like with its contents is then carried and emptied direct
into the cart, or waggon, and a like operation is repeted in emptving each bin.
Hinged lids or covers may be fited over the bins where required, and shoots,
stopers, locks, and the like, may be used when it is necessary.
The bins and their fitings may be constructed of any suitable materials
Galvanized iron being perhaps as suitable as any.
P
My invention is illusterated by the accompanying drawings on one sheet, shew-
ing only a cylindrical shape or form of bin with close ends slightly dished or
rounded.
Figure 1 is a front view, A A being the ground or floor line, C bin or
receptacle having close ends slightly dished or rounded DD brackets or bearers
fixed sufficiently high on a wall or the like, and bearing the bin by its axles or
pivots P P or the like, up off the ground or floor, so leaving or forming a clear or
open space under the bin between the bin and the ground or floor line. E hinged
lid or cover slightly raised shewing the open part S of the bin.

which the brackets or bearers D D are fixed at any suitable height C close end
of bin slightly dished or rounded with its axle or pivot or the like resting on the
bracket or bearer D D, up off the ground or floor, so leaving or forming a clear

T
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..
1st Improvements in bins or receptacles for holding household ashes or other
refuse, which bins have central or other axles or spindles or pivots or the like
'whereby each bin can be borne up off the ground or floor at any height required
2d. Bearing or resting said axles or spindles or pivots or the like, on suitable
brackets or other bearers, which are fixed to a wall or to posts or the like, up off
the ground or floor, whereby a clear or open space is left or formed under each
bin between the bin and the ground or floor.
3d Emptying said raised up bin by turning or revolving it on its said axles or
