PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Dust Bin or Receptacle.
I PETER TINCKHAм‍of 1 Dalgarno Gardens, St. Quintin Park, North Kensington
in the County of Middlesex, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object to provide a dustbin or receptacle for domestic
refuse, suited to replace the ordinary permanent bins attached to dwelling houses;
which is so constructed as to ensure the constant ventilation of its contents so as
to prevent the dissemination of noxious odours and which may also be easily removed
for the purpose of emptying it.
The dust bin or receptacle consists of a closed container of sheet metal of
cylindrical or other form provided with an aperture in the cover for filling and
emptying closed by a hinged lid, the lid being self closing so as to prevent it being
accidentally left open, and with handles for lifting the bin. In order to ventilate the
contents enclosed air channels are provided on the inside of the container which
extend from the bottom upwards along the sides and open into the interior of the
pin beneath the cover. Access is provided for air to enter these channels by
supporting the bin upon legs a few inches from the ground. Upon the cover
is fixed a short length of pipe communicating with the interior of the bin, which
pipe is to be detachably connected with a ventilating pipe passing up the wall of
the house above the roof which pipe may be surmounted by a draught cowl.
By thus causing a current of fresh air to pass continually through the bin and
creating an upward draught by means of the ventilating pipe all effluvia from the
contents will be extracted and discharged into the atmosphere at a higher elevation
so that the dust bin can be used at any time without any smell being emitted
therefrom.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Dust. Bin or Receptacle.
I, PETER TINCKHAM of 1, Dalgarno Gardens, St. Quintin Park, North
Kensington, in the County of Middlesex, Builder, 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 provide a self-ventilating dustbin or receptacle
for domestic refuse, so constructed that any noxious odors which may emanate from
its contents will be constantly carried off to a point where they may be discharged
without injury to health. This improved dustbin is intended to replace the
ordinary permanent bins usually attached to dwelling houses, but it is removable
for the purpose of emptying it.
The improved dustbin or receptacle is illustrated in the accompanying drawings,
forming part of this Specification, wherein
Figure 1 is a central vertical section;

page_text: It consists of a closed container A. of galvanised iron of cylindrical or other
suitable form provided with lifting handles and with an aperture C in the top for
filling and emptying, closed by a hinged lid D, the lid being self-closing so as to
prevent it being accidentally left open. Internal air channels E opening through the
bottom of the bin are carried up along the sides of the bin and open into the.
interior of the bin at a point a few inches beneath the top above the level of
the contents when the bin is full. Access is provided for air to enter these
channels by supporting the bin upon legs a few inches from the ground.. A. short
length of pipe F communicating with the interior of the bin is fixed upon the
top of the bin, which pipe is detachably connected with a ventilating shaft G
passing up the wall of the house to a point above the roof, where it may be
surmounted by a draught-cowl. The connection of the pipe F with the shaft G
is made by a telescopically-sliding joint-piece H fitting on or in the pipe F and
sliding in a socket g formed on the lower end of the shaft G.
By this means, a current of fresh air is caused to pass continually through the
bin whereby all effluvia emanating from the contents will be extracted and
discharged into the atmosphere at a sufficient elevation, the upward draught thus
created preventing the emission of smell even when the lid is opened for depositing
refuse in the bin.
.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;
The herein described self-ventilating dust-bin or receptacle provided with air
channels and adapted for connection with a ventilating shaft, substantially as herein
specified.
