LYE-CONDUCTOR FOR BARRELS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 224,698, dated February 17, 1880.

i Application filed November 26, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANCIS JONES, of

Duffields, in the county of J elferson and State' reference being bad to the annexed drawings,

making a partof this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a vertical central section of my improved lye-conductor, and Fig. 2 isaplan view thereof.

This inventiom has relation to means for running down lye from barrels or boxes; and it consists in the construction and novel arran gement of parts, as hereinafter shown, de scribed, and set forth in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A- designates the metallic stand, preferably made of cast-iron. It may be of circular or other form, and has within it a raised ledge, 11, which extends around its internal wall to the spoutwall a on both sides. From the ledge b 'extends upward the outer or encompassing rim, (1, which also extends around the stand to the spout-wall c on each side. The trough'of the spout e is slightly inclined downward from the floor of the stand, and the spout-walls 0 extend upward to the rim portion of the stand,

as shown in the drawings. A removable grate,

g, is designed to rest by its margin. on the ledge 11, and serves to support the box or barrel in which the ashes are placed, some straw having been first put in said box or barrel to keep the ashes from the grate.

Supporting-legs 1 may be attached to or cast with the stand, and are designed to ralse it sufficiently to admit the introduction of a .ing of the cast-iron stand having the supporting-legs 1, internal ledge, I), raised rim (1, removable grate g, and spout 0, having its trough extending from the floor of the stand and its wall 0 extending upward to the rim (1, all constructed and arranged to operate as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

FRANCIS JONES.
