SECOND 2 FIRE STARTS, COMBUSTION PRODUCTS RISE. COMBUSTION PRODUCTS IN LESS THAN 3 SECONDS TRAPPED IN COVER, COMBUSTION PRODUCTS BAFFLE REVERSES FLOW. CUT OFF OXYGEN, FIRE DIES OUT. Fire-Proof Waste Receptacle Bows CHICAGO — A revolutionary new waste paper receptacle, which in less than three seconds snuffs out any fire that may start in¬ side, has been announced by Justrite Manufac¬ turing Company. Designed for use in industrial plants, offices, ■schools, theatres, hospitals, store entrances — wherever paper is disposed of — the safety receptacle will carry the approval of Under¬ writers’ Laboratories and Factory Mutuals En¬ gineering Division for its fire protection char¬ acteristics. In answer to the hazards of care¬ less smoking, carlessly discarded matches, and other ignition sources, the approved Justrite container stands guard against fire. The new waste paper receptacle was de¬ veloped on the fact that fire can be snuffed out by its own products of combustion. When a fire starts inside the container, combustion products rise toward the dome-shaped cover and are trapped underneath. A baffle reverses their direction and sends them across the opening of the cover. Oxygen from outside the container is thus kept from entering, and the fire — without oxygen — is immediately suffo¬ cated. The opening in the cover allows waste paper to be dropped in quickly and easily. The cover itself, which contributes to a neat ap¬ pearance by hiding the refuse inside, removes easily for emptying the container when filled. Justrite’s waste paper receptacle is avail¬ able in capacity sizes of 55, 30, 15 and 12 gal¬ lons. Heights of the containers are 35, 29, 25 and 20 inches, respectively. They are con¬ structed of heavy gauge steel for durability, yet are light in weight for easy handling. Exterior finish of the drums in all four sizes is a grey enamel; interior finish is a clear enamel.

Covers for the 15 and 12-gallon receptacles, for offices and small rooms, are a neutral grey, which fits with any interior decor. The Justrite receptacles may be purchased as complete units, or covers alone may be purchased for application to standard con¬ tainers of appropriate sizes. Virtually any standard metal drum now used for waste paper can thus be made fire-safe. BALLANTYNE EQUIPMENT...
