page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Sieve with Removable Bottom.
I, HANS VILHELM CHRISTENSEN, residing at Ryesgade, 3, Copenhagen, in the
Kingdom of Denmark, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a sieve which is specially intended for use in the
household or the farm. It is provided with a removeable bottom, and can be
easily taken to pieces and cleaned in every part, inaccessible corners and dirt-
holding crevices being thus avoided. This is effected by the sieve or, according to
circumstances, several sieves at the same time being held in position by a spring-
ring.
The body of the sieve has a narrowed neck beneath, with projecting edge, on
which the sieve or sieves rest. Above the sieves is a spring-ring which is held by
a rebate, small corners, knobs (buttons) or other projections, or simply by friction.
The ring may be of any desired cross section, and is in general made of rounded
wire only; its length being somewhat less than that of the inner circumference of
the neck of the sieve. The ring is thus open at one spot and can therefore only be
taken out or put in, when compressed to somewhat near the extent of the opening.
In order to facilitate this, it may be furnished with suitable additional pieces, or
handles.
The sieves, as also the spring-ring, can be put in from below, especially if the
ring be held by a rebate or by projections.

Sieve with Removable Bottom.
I, HANS VILHELM CHRISTENSEN, residing at Ryesgade, 3, Copenhagen, in the
Kingdom of Denmark, Manufacturer, 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 a sieve which is specially intended for use in the
household or the farm. The drawing shows in Fig. 1 a section of the sieve and
in Fig. 2 the spring-ring holding the sieve bottom. The sieve is provided with a
removable bottom 6 and can be easily taken to pieces and cleaned in every part,
inaccessible corners and dirt-holding crevices being thus avoided. This is effected
by the sieve or, according to circumstances, several sieves at the same time being
held in position by a spring-ring 3.

page_text: The body 1 of the sieve has a narrowed neck 7 with projecting edge 8, on
which the sieve or sieves rest. Above the sieves 6 is a spring-ring 3, which is held
by a rebate 2, small corners, knobs or other projections. The ring may be of any
desired cross section, and is in general made of rounded wire only; its length being
somewhat less than that of the inner circumference of the neck 5 of the sieve. The
ring is thus open at one spot 9 and can therefore only be taken out or put in, when
compressed to somewhat near the extent of the opening. In order to facilitate
this it may be furnished with suitable additional pieces or handles.
The sieves as also the spring-ring can be put in from below, especially if the
ring be held by a rebate or by projections.
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
A sieve, the distinguishing feature of which is that the loose bottom 6 thereof
is hela in its place by means of the spring-ring 3.
