PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
"Improvements in or connected with Coal Boxes."
I EDITH MAUDE THORNEY, of 2 Sewerby Terrace South, Bridlington, in the
County of Yorkshire. do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as
follows:-
-
The object of my invention, is to provide a stand for coal boxes; hitherto such
coal boxes have rested on the floor, making it difficult for aged or delicate persons
to stoop and obtain coal from such boxes, if they have found it necessary to mend
the fire.
For the purpose of my invention, I employ a stand of any suitable height, this
stand is preferably provided with one or more cupboard, shelf, drawer or the like,
for dusters, slippers, or any other articles.
Around the top of the stand I may employ brass or other rails, which may be
removable to allow of the coal box being placed on the top, or taken off, also
recesses or the like may be provided for the coal shovel and tongnes. The stand
may be mounted on castors to allow of it being moved about.
With my improved stand, the coal box is elevated to a suitable height to allow
of coal being extracted without the user having to stoop, also at the same time
such stand acts as a receptacle for various articles, and in the summer time can
be used as a what not by removing the coal box which would not then be
required.

Fig. 2 shows a modification of Fig. 1.
For the purpose of my invention I employ a stand A of any suitable height,
preferably provided with one or more cupboards B, shelf C, drawer D or the like,
for slippers or any other articles. Around the top of the stand I may employ
brass or other rails E, one of which may be removable as shown to facilitate the
coal box F being placed on or taken off the stand, or being turned round when
the stand is moved from one side of the fire place to the other. Recesses or the
like may be provided for the coal shovel and tongs, and the stand may be
mounted on castors G to allow of it being moved about. With my improved
stand the coal box is elevated to a suitable height to allow of coal being extracted
without the user having to stoop, also at the same time such stand acts as a re-
ceptacle for various articles, and in the summer time can be used as a what-not"
by removing the coal box which would not then be required.
