IMPROVEMENTS IN COAL SCUTTLES OR BOXES
Year: 1885

page_text: I EDWARD NEGRONI of 8 Chepstow Villas Bayswater in the County of Mid-
dlesex Professor of Music do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN COAL SCUTTLES OR BOXES" to be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object to construct Coal Scuttles or boxes that loose
coal or dust will not fall from the scuttle or box on to the floor or carpet at the
place where the scuttle or box is used.
According to my Invention I form on or attach to the coal scuttle or box below
the opening covered by the lid a well or receptacle in which any loose coal or dust
is received. This well or receptacle may be covered by a portion of the main lid
or it may be left uncovered or may have a special lid or cover so acted upon by a
spring and levers or rods or like connections that when the main lid is opened the
lid of the well or receptacle.is also opened by the action of the levers or the like
the spring automatically returning the lid or cover of the well or receptacle to its
closed position when the main lid of the scuttle or box is closed.
There may be combined with the Scuttle or box a drawer for receiving articles
such as brushes wood or the like.

I EDWARD NEGRONI of 8 Chepstow Villas Bayswater in the County of Middlesex
Professor of Music 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 has for its object to so construct coal scuttles or boxes that loose
coal or dust will not fall from the scuttle or box onto the floor or carpet at the
place where the scuttle or box is used.
According to my Invention I form on or attach to the coal scuttle or box below
the opening through which the coals are withdrawn from the scuttle or box a well
or receptacle in which any loose coal or dust is received. This well or receptacle
may be covered by a portion of the main lid or it may be left uncovered or may
have a special lid or cover.
The accompanying Drawing represents a coal box or scuttle made according to
my Invention the example here illustrated being one in which the main lid covers
both the opening for obtaining access to the interior of the box or scuttle and the
well or receptacle into which the dust or loose coal will fall. A is the body of the
box or scuttle, the space at B being for the reception of coals. Beneath this space
at C. is a well or receptacle into which will fall any loose coal or dust which may
accidentally be spilled in removing coals from the box or scuttle. The well or
receptacle is shewn as being provided with a removeable lining at c but this may be
dispensed with if desired but it is convenient for removing the contents of the well
or receptacle.
There may be combined with the scuttle or box a drawer for receiving articles
such as brushes wood or the like.
It will be evident that the shape of the box may be of any suitable kind and that
the well or receptacle may be formed 'therewith or be formed separately and be
attached thereto in any suitable way.
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 coal scuttle or box with a well or receptacle so combined or connected and
arranged therewith as to catch any dust or loose coal which may be accidentally
spilt in removing coals from the box or scuttle substantially as hereinbefore
described.
Dated this 5th day of January 1886.
