COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Ash Bucket.
I, THOMAS BOOTH, of Marlborough Terrace, Belle Vue, West Hartlepool, in the
County of Durham, Iron Wedge Packing 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 :-
My Invention relates to the construction of an ash bucket such as is used for
domestic and the like purposes, and consists in the employment of corrugated iron or
steel plates in substitution for ordinary rolled plates, which corrugated plates are
rivetted together to form the body of the bucket which is thus corrugated from top to
bottom. The bottom of the bucket is formed by a plate preferably pressed and
flanged, and having the said flange correspondingly corrugated to fit the body of the
bucket so that the two may be rivetted together; the bucket is also strengthened
round the rim by a corrugated hoop which is rivetted thereto preferably on the
outside, and is also provided with two handles secured to opposite parts of the rim to
render it portable.
Ash buckets constructed according to my invention are so strengthened by
corrugating the plates in the manner hereinafter described that they can be made
about one-third lighter and much stronger than ash buckets constructed in the
ordinary way.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood and readily carried
into effect, 1 will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the annexed
sheet of drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view and Figure 2 a corresponding
view in elevation of an ash bucket constructed according to my invention. Figure
is a sectional view of the bottom plate of the bucket and Figure 4 a corresponding
plan view thereof.
a is the body of the ash bucket consisting of iron or steel plates corrugated from
top to bottom, into which is fitted the plate b which serves as the bottom of the
bucket, and is preferably of smaller diameter than the body of the bucket to fit it
internally, this bottom plate bis pressed and flanged having the flange b' corrugated
so as to fit the interior of the bucket, the two being rivetted or otherwise secured
together. On the top of the bucket I furnish a corrugated rim or hoop c which is
preferably rivetted to the outside of the bucket, two handles d are secured to the
upper part of the bucket as illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings for the
purpose of handling it for lifting and carrying.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be carried into effect, I declare that what
I claim is
In the construction of ash buckets the employment of corrugated or partially
corrugated iron or steel plates fitted together so as to render them lighter and more
serviceable than ash buckets as at present constructed, substantially as described with
reference to the accompanying drawings.
