No. 29962.—4th August, 1911.—NORMAN GEORGE GORDON
WINKELMANN, of Napier, New Zealand, Engineer. An im-
proved ash-pan.

Extract from Specification.—The ash-pan consists of a metal
box made to fit into the space below the fire-grating. Hinged
or pivoted to the top of the pan are partial lids each of which
is provided with handles and extends more than half-way
across the pan, so that when both are closed down the one
overlaps the other and the top of the pan is completely covered
and the contents protected from being blown about by the
wind. In a convenient construction of the invention the
handles form part of the hinges. When both partial lids are
closed down the lid which is uppermost will tend to keep the
other closed, and, in order more effectively to secure this,
a handle of larger size may be used on the uppermost lid
whereby the lids may be held down when the ash-pan is
removed for emptying.
