I, HENRY WHILEY, of Trafford Bank House, Old Trafford, Manchester, Sanitary
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The improvements relate to the method of construction of sanitary pails, and hive
for object the simplification of the manufacture of such articles.
To accomplish this and to effect my improvements, I form the bottom ring of the
pail, in cross section, by preference, somewhat in the form of T iron, by casting the
same either in malleable iron, cast steel, or other suitable metal.
To one leg of this cast ring of T iron, I rivet or otherwise attach the cylindrical
or otherwise formed sides, and to the other leg, I rivet or otherwise attach the bottom
plate. Or in lieu of the latter I sometimes cast the bottom plate in connection with
the ring all in one piece. In like manner I may cast the ring or rim at the top of the
cylinder or other shape forming the sides of the pail, and attach the same thereto. Also in
like manner I may form the ring or rim of the lid, whether in angle or any other cross
section of metal which will draw from the mould, and the lid like unto the bottom may
either have a plate attached to such cast ring, or the whole may be cast in one
piece.
Variations in the form of the cross sections employed may be made, and the same
may be either continuous or not throughout the circle, or round the sides of the vessel,
without departing from the peculiar character of the invention.
Dated this 22nd day of September 1887

page_text: Fig. 1, shows a section, and Fig. 2, an elevation of a sanitary pail constructed in
accordance with my improvements, and Fig. 3, an enlarged sectional view of a bottom
formed by casting in one piece.
The same letters indicate corresponding parts wherever they occur.
a, a, is the bottom, which, in the examples shown is cast entirely in one piece ; but
which may be formed by the ring of T or similarly formed metal being cast, and a
plate of wrought or other sheet metal being riveted or otherwise attached thereto to
form the bottom thereof. b, b, is the cylindrical portion forming the sides, and c, c,
the cast ring forming the upper portion of the receptacle.
The lid is constructed in like or similar manner.
Variations in the form of cross section employed may be made, either in the bottom
cast ring, or solid cast bottom; in the upper ring, or in the cast ring of the lid, or the
solid cast lid, and the same cross section may be continuous or not throughout the
circle, or round the sides of the vessel, without departing from the peculiar character
of the invention.

page_text: 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 :-
1. The construction of sanitary receptacles by forming the same with cast rings
round the bottoms, riveted or otherwise attached to rolled or other metal plates forming
the sides, and to rolled or other metal plates forming the bottoms thereof, substantially
as herein partly shown and fully described.
2. The construction of sanitary receptacles by forming the same with cast solid
bottoms, of the nature and in manner substantially as herein shown and described.
3. The construction of the lids of sanitary receptacles in manner and of the nature
of the foregoing, substantially as herein described.
4. In the construction of sanitary receptacles, the combination of cast rings of
metal, at the bottom or top of such receptacles, or both, with rolled or other metal
plates riveted or otherwise attached thereto, for the purpose and in manner substantially
as herein shown and described.
