ASH PIT.
No. 417,398. Patented Dec. 17, 188 9..
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC GEORGE D. SNELL, OF DENVER, COLORADO.
ASH-PIT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 417,398, dated December 17, 1889.
Application filed February 19, 1889.
Serial No. 300,454:- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, GEORGE D. SNELL, of Denver, in the county of Arapahoe and State of Colorado, have invented a certain new and, useful Improvement in Ash-Pits, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in ash-pits, and has for its object the provision of a portable ash-pit which will prevent the ashes being scattered by the wind, and will be cheap and simple in its construction.
The invention consists in certain novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
The accompanying drawings form a part of this specification, and represent what I consider the best means of carrying out the invention.
Figurel is a side elevation ofmy improved ash-pit. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same on the line 00 0a in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan View thereof, and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line y y of Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts in all the figures where they occur.
A designates the body of the ash-pit, which is constructed of concrete or some similar composition, and is made in two sections 13 O, as shown, the upper section or member resting upon the lower member and the edges of the two members overlapping. The lower member is provided at or near its lower edge with an opening D, through which the ashes may be removed. Around the edge of this opening I arrange a metallic facing E, the front portion of which is bent overto form flanges F, bearing against the front of the body. The edges of these flanges are provided with vertical grooves G, and these grooves are engaged by internal ribs H on a sliding door I, adapted to close the opening D, as will be readily understood.
On the upper end of the upper member of the body I place the lid I, covering the opening J, through which the ashes are passed into the pit. This openingJ is provided with a metallic facing K, similar to the facing E, and is closed by a cover L. The body may, if so desired, be placed on a base M of concrete; but this base is not essential.
From the foregoing descriptiomtaken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be seen that I have provided a very cheap and simple ash-pit, which can be read ily taken apart for storage and transportation, and can be easily put together by unskilled persons. The device, being made of concrete, as shown and described, has few joints, and those few are all closed, so that it is impossible for the wind to scatter the ashes.
My device is cheap, simple, and durable, and its advantages are thought to be obvious.
I claim as myinvention 1. An ash-pit made of concrete in sections of February, 1889, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
GEORGE I). SNELL.
