PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Metal Dust Bin.
I, LEOPOLD HERMAN CHUBBUCK, of 30 Hayward Place, Boston, in the
County of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, United States of America,.
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to certain improvements in the construction of cans for
containing ashes, &c., my can being composed of a series of eight (more or less)
concave plates which are riveted together at their longitudinal edges. These plates
are made of wrought steel and preferably galvanized. The lower edge of the shell
formed by the plates is turned inwardly and upwardly, and inserted into the groove
or channel thus formed is a flange formed at the periphery of the crowned bottom, also
made of wrought-steel, preferably galvanized. A comparatively heavy wrought-iron
band is made to encircle the bottom of the shell, and rivets are passed through said
bands, the shell, and the flange of the bottom. From this construction it will be
seen that the rivets will be passed through three thicknesses of the steel and that
the parts will be firmly united.
At the top of the can (which is intended to be open) the edge of the shell will
preferably be turned out, and down and a wrought-iron band made to encircle the top
edge of the can, rivets being passed through said band and the turned-down portion
of the shell. At suitable points on the shell wrought-iron handles are located, said
handles being secured by means of rivets which pass through said handles, the steel
of the can, and a plate or brace of wrought-iron located on the interior of the shell.
At each of the longitudinal edges of the eight (more or less) concave plates forming
the shell of the can wrought-iron fenders are placed on the outside of the shell.
These fenders are secured by means of rivets, which pass through said fenders and
the shell of the can, said rivets being swaged on the outer edge of the can to form
heads, thereby permanently securing said fenders in place. Said wrought-iron
fenders are made of such length as to extend on the longitudinal edges of the
plates from the wrought-iron band encircling the top of the can to the wrought-iron
band encircling the can at the bottom.
With a can constructed as above explained, being octagonal in general design
with concave arcs of circles, the resisting power of the several angles will be
increased and the can rendered capable of withstanding blows or other outside
pressure. From its peculiar form or shape this can is especially adapted to prevent
the cutting, tearing, or crushing in of the steel shell of the can, as it is impossible
for the can to be thrown on a wheel or edge of a cart in emptying, so that either
the wheel or edge of the cart can come into contact with the body or shell of the
can. A can thus constructed will also be cheap and comparatively easy to
manufacture.

An Improved Metal Dust Bin.
I, LEOPOLD HERMAN CHUBBUCK, of 30 Hayward Place, Boston, in the
County of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, United States of America,
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner.
Price 8d1

page_text: the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement :-
My invention relates to an improvement in dust bins or metal cans for receiving
ashes, garbage, &c., and it consists in forming such a receptacle of a series of
outwardly curved sections or plates suitably secured together at their side edges.
The bottom of the receptacle is formed of crown shape to give it greater strength,
and the top and bottom edges of the receptacle are bound with metal bands, also
for the purpose of imparting additional rigidity and strength to the receptacle.
The edges of the plates or sections where joined together are re-inforced with
metal fenders, and by this construction it is found that a receptacle of this
character will stand very rough handling without being broken or bent out of shape.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a view of my improved can.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view illustrating the crown-bottom.
Figs. 3 and 4 are detail views.
A represents the can, composed of a series of eight (more or less) concave
plates a, riveted together at their longitudinal edges. The plates a are made of
wrought-steel, and preferably galvanized. The lower edge of the shell formed by
the plates a is turned inwardly and upwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, and inserted into
the groove or channel thus formed is a flange b, formed at the periphery of the
bottom B. The bottom B is made crown shape, as shown in the drawings, for the
purpose of enabling it to bear a greater strain, and is also made of wrought-steel,
preferably galvanized. A comparatively heavy wrought-iron band C is made to
encircle the bottom of the shell and rivets c passed through said bands, the shell,
and the flange b of the bottom C. From this construction it will be seen that the
rivets c will be passed through three thicknesses of the steel and that the parts will
be firmly united.
At the top of the can (which is intended to be open) the edge of the shell will
preferably be turned out and down and a wrought-iron band c¹ made to encircle the
top edge of the can, rivets d being passed through said band and the turned-down
portion of the shell. At suitable points on the shell wrought-iron handles E are
located, said handles being secured by means of rivets e, which pass through said
handles, the steel of the can, and a plate or brace of wrought-iron located on the
interior of the shell. At each of the longitudinal edges of the eight (more or less)
concave plates forming the shell of the can wrought-iron fenders a are placed on
the outside of the shell. These fenders are secured by means of rivets, which pass
through said fenders and the shell of the can, said rivets being swaged on the outer
edge of the can to form heads, thereby permanently securing said fenders in place.
Said wrought-iron fenders are made of such length as to extend on the longitudinal
edges of the plates from the wrought-iron band encircling the top of the can to the
wrought-iron band encircling the can at the bottom.
With a can constructed as above explained, being octagonal in general design
with concave arcs of circles, the resisting power of the several angles will be
increased and the can rendered capable of withstanding blows or other outside
pressure. From its peculiar form or shape this can is especially adapted to prevent
the cutting, tearing, or crushing in of the steel shell of the can, as it is impossible
for the can to be thrown on a wheel or edge of a cart in emptying, so that either
the wheel or edge of the cart can come into contact with the body or shell of the
can. A can thus constructed will also be cheap and comparatively easy to
manufacture.
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. As an article of manufacture, a can composed of a series of outwardly-
concaved sections or plates secured together at their edges, re-inforcing strips
located at these joining edges, and a bottom, substantially as set forth.

concaved sections secured together at their longitudinal edges, and a bottom,.
substantially as set forth.
