COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Ash Sifter.
HERBERT TERRY "Novelty" Works Redditch Worcester Smallwares Manu-
facturer. I, HERBERT TERRY 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 (see drawings left with Provisional
Specification) :-
:-
Fig. 1. "A. A." metal frame with projecting forks or arms "C. C" to the under-
side of which are fastened metal rods "D. D." "B." metal bars secured to cross
ribs of frame "A. A." (ie. top and bottom).
Fig. 2. "E" metal dustpan with tapered or slanting sides to front edge which is
left open.
Fig. ash sifter complete. Frame "A. A." can be made to stand at any
required angle by means of long or short rods "D. D." Pan E removeable without
frame "A. A."
The metal frame A. A. (Fig. 1) with projecting forks or arms C. C. can be cast
or forged either round, square, flat or of other convenient form and the bars "B"
(as many as required for the purpose) can also be cast with frame "A. A." and of
any suitable shape required such as triangular, square or round. They can also be
made separately and "tapped" or screwed into cross ribs of frame "AA" (i.e. top
and bottom) or in any other manner most convenient for the purpose. The metal
rods D. D. can be made in any form or length required one end of which is screwed-
or otherwise attached to the projecting forks or arms C. C. By the attachment of
long or short rods the frame is "pitched" at a greater or lesser angle to the bottom
of pan E as the case may be. Fig. 2. E metal dustpan (suitably shaped to hold the
frame A. A.)-the front of which is left open to allow of its easy_removal from the
grate-when necessary-without removing the frame A. A. rods D. D.-(as herein
described)-attached to arms C. C. and projecting over sides of pan E, stand on the
hearth outside of the pan thereby allowing the said pan to be taken away without
removing the ash sifter.
Fig. 3. shows the "ash sifter".complete in one of the forms herein described.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A conveniently constructed metal frame with suitably shaped bars and
standing rods attached, together with suitably shaped ashpan in which the frame of
bars stands.
2. The fitting of long or short standing rods-as referred to outside of the ash-
pan to allow of any required "pitch" or "slant" of frame and the easy removal
of ashpan containing the dust, without the necessity of withdrawing the frame
of bars which retain the cin:lers.
