Application filed September 18, 1890. Serial No, 365,354, (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, William W. Taylor, of the city of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented 5 certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles for Ashes and Garbage, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a receptacle for ashes or garbarge which, from io its simplicity of construction, durability, and arrangement of parts, will greatly facilitate the moving and dumping of ashes and garbage.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts, as herein15 after fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

My receptacle for ashes or garbage may be constructed of four or more sides or it may be cylindrical in shape; but in every instance 2o it is tapering, being larger at the top or opening than at the bottom. It is provided with two bottoms, the outer bottom being fixed and the inner being a movable or false bottom. Any suitable number of driving-pins pass 25 loosely through holes in the outer bottom and have nuts or other contrivances on their upper and lower ends, for the purposes hereinafter specified.

To the bottom of the receptacle are secured 30 an axle and wheels, and to the front of the barrel is secured a support of peculiar construction.

The receptacle is also provided with a cover with side handles and a large handle on the 35 rear to be taken hold of in moving the ashes or garbage.

I prefer to construct my invention in a cylindrical form, as it is shown in the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this 4c specification.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved receptacle for ashes and garbage. Fig. 45 2 shows a part section of the same, together with construction of the inner or false bottom. Fig. 3 is a plan of under side of bottom.

In the drawings, A represents the tapering receptacle, cylindrical in shape, consisting of 50 pieces riveted or otherwise properly secured together, the pieces A' on the opposite sides of the barrel being of heavier material for the purpose of firmly holding the handles G, secured thereto by rivets G'.

K is the outer bottom of the barrel; E, the 55 cover, which is provided with the handles E' E².

E³ are rivets securing the handles on the cover, and E⁴ is a rim on the cover overlapping the top of the barrel. 60

F is the moving-handle, and is secured to the barrel by the rivets F'.

B B are wheels, which revolve on the axle B'. The axle B' is provided with the arms C 0 and is secured to the bottom of the barrel 65 by the bolts O' C'.

D is a supporting-leg provided with the bend D² and a foot D' and is secured to the barrel by the rivets D³.

H is the inner or false bottom. 70

I-Γ is a center pin passing loosely through the bottom K and secured to the false bottom by means of the rivet LI²¹.

II² H² H² H² are driving-pins which pass loosely through the bottom K and are provided 75 on their upper ends between the bottom K and the false bottom H with screw-nuts, or vice versa—namely, said driving-pins II² may pass loosely through the bottom K and be provided at the other end with a screw-nut. The 80 false bottom rests upon the top of the driving-pins H², and the center pin H' passes loosely through the bottom K, as do also the driving-pins II².

The object to be accomplished by having 85 the false bottom II constructed as herein described is to facilitate the emptying of the receptacle when the contents have become fast or frozen therein, and this is more readily accomplished owing to the tapering form of 90 my barrel. When the contents are fast oiy frozen in the barrel, it will be easily loosened by gently tapping upon the driving-pins JI²underneath the barrel and by striking the ' center pin LI'. The handle F is used in pro- 95 pelling the barrel and the handles G G in lifting the same, and, owing to the strain upon that part of the barrel where the handles G are secured, I propose to have the piece A' heavier and stronger than the other portions 100 of the barrel when the barrel is macle in pieces, as shown in the drawings. The barrel may, however, be made in one piece, and in that case I propose to have the piece A' secured

464,533 to the barrel by riveting or otherwise on the opposite sides where the handles are to be attached. The wheels B and the axle B', on which they revolve and on which they are se5 cured by the linchpins B², will be constructed so as to be both light and durable and of any suitable material.

With this description of my invention, what
