Filed: 1909-03-31
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 7660. Clayton, A., and Robinson, T. March 31. Fire-guards.-One or more collapsible or rigid lattice-work leaves are hung so that they may be moved up or down or in front of or away from the fire. Fig. 1 shows one half of a guard consisting of a piece of collapsible latticework d fitted between two channel-irons b, c, to which it is connected by pivot joints e, f and sliding joints g, h. The bar b is connected by parallel links y to a vertical bar z, which is connected by pivots l to brackets k attached to the side of a fire-place, range, &c. The leaf is upheld in the position shown by catches 1 connected by a wire 3 ; these catches engage with studs 4 when the leaf is in its raised position, and with studs 8 when in its dropped position. In a guard consisting of two such leaves, the middle bars c are connected where they meet by hook-like catches s on a wire q, and the middle is stayed by a hook 7 which engages with one of the fire-bars of the grate front. In a modification, rigid lattice-work, mounted as described above, is used, and the brackets k form part of a slotted bar which is bolted to the grate front. In modifications described in the Provisional Specification, the leaves are mounted on a central pillar or support, and their outer edges are engaged with the fire-place ; struts are used to hold the leaves in position ; the links y are not used ; the leaves may be such as will lie against the grate front and prevent the fuel from falling out ; and parts serving as trivets or clothes-drying supports may be fitted.
