TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



Cummings^ Patejit Self-Acting Ash Sifter. 



Allan Cummings, 420 Fourth avenue, N. Y. 



It can be seen by the construction of this 

 sifter, that the dust is prevented from escap- 

 ing while in operation. 



When the ashes and cinders are thrown in 

 at the top, they are diffused by the cone, and 

 fall upon the seive, which is also conical, 

 where a perfect separation takes place, by 

 the fine dust falling through the meshes of the 

 seive, while the larger rolls over into the 

 lower pan.
