Patent GB-135063-A (GB)
IPC: F24B1/195
Abstract: 135,063. Lawless, P. C. Feb. 6, 1919. Grates.-A " dog " grate for a domestic fireplace consists of a fire-brick part a forming the back and sides, and an iron front b, connected by a broad metal band c which encircles the back and sides a. The looped ends of the band enclose metal rods e, which pass vertically through holes in lugs f at the upper and lower ends of the grooved ends d of the front. Set-screws g screwed into the lugs f are forced against the rods e so as to tighten the band c. A similar band may be used for reinforcing a dog-grate made wholly of fire-brick. The central part of the back a is surrounded by a deep undercut groove i which obviates fracture due to unequal heating and expansion. An ash-pan m is fitted beneath the grid h, and is supported on flanges n. The grate is movable on a roller j in a recess k, and the path of the roller is kept free from ashes by an L-section sheet o of metal, the horizontal part of which bears upon the hearth. Specification 128,472 is referred to.

Filed: 1944-07-22
Abstract: 585,836. Clips ; clothes pegs. MARTIN, G. July 22, 1944, No. 14052. [Class 44] A clip particularly for use as a clothes peg comprises a central body portion and lateral arms extending outwardly from opposite sides of the body portion and then downwardly and inwardly to a position to grip the article against each side of the body portion with the extremities of the arms protruding away from the body, the arms or body portion or both being made of resilient material. Figs. 1, 5 show a clip made from a single length of spring wire bent to U-form to provide the body portion 1, 5, the upper ends being bent to form loops 3 from which the lateral arms extend into proximity to the sides 1 of the body. The ends 4 of the arms are bent away from the plane of the body portion, as in Figs. 4, 5, and their extremities are bent to hook or loop form or otherwise rounded off to avoid damage to the article gripped. The body portion is longer than, and conveniently twice as long as, the arms, to provide a handle for manipulation and the lower end 5 may be bent, Fig. 5, or otherwise formed to aid in gripping. In use the clip is held by the body portion and hooked over the line and article by a downward movement, the line 2 and article, not shown, passing upwards between the arms on one side, and the body portion on the other, into the loops 3. In plan view the loops 3 may be in the plane of the body portion, or as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 4, may be bent to an obtuse angle, the full lines showing the final position assumed when the clip is applied to a taut line. The sides 1 of the body portion may be spaced apart and parallel, as shown, or may be close together, overlapped, or twisted together. Instead of rounding off the ends 4 of the arms, the ends may be bent inwards across the body portion to meet in alignment, Fig. 7. The meeting ends may be secured together at 6, and the aligned portions may be enclosed in a sleeve or roller of metal, plastic, or closely wound wire spiral. The clip may be made from or coated with, non-corrosive or protective material.
