PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Coal Vases and Tables or Stands.
I, JOHN EDMUND LLOYD-JONES, of 2 Apsley Terrace, Ilfracombe, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a coal vase combined with a stand table and music or
newspaper rack or with either of these.
The coal box is by preference, nearly or quite of the ordinary triangular form in
cross section and has a rectangular base. It is placed on the upper shelf of an
ornamental stand which is mounted on four legs. These legs are connected about six
inches from the ground by a lower shelf or platform. The body of the coal box has
two triangular vertical ends and two rectangular sloping sides. One of these sides
forms the door.
To the summit of the stand is attached a small horizontal table which extends over
the fixed sloping side, and has by preference a small ornamental railing around its
edge. Beneath this table and occupying the triangular space between it and the
side of the box are vertical partitions forming a rack for newspapers or music.
On one of the vertical triangular ends of the box is the pocket for the scoop.
This pocket is by preference placed sloping towards the door-side of the box so that
the handle of the scoop projects near the door.
The scoop itself is by preference slightly pointed on its front edge. The wholo
forms an elegant piece of furniture, but the stand can be used with or without the
coal receptacle.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Coal Vases and Tables or Stands.
1, JOHN EDMUND LLOYD-JONES of 2, Apsley Terrace, Ilfracombe, Gentleman, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement-
This invention consists of a coal vase combined with a table and stand and rack for
newspapers or music. The coal-box itself is by preference nearly or quite of the
ordinary triangular form in cross section and has a rectangular base which is mounted
on 4 legs.
These legs are connected about 6 inches from the ground by a shelf or platform.
The body of the coal box has two triangular vertical ends and two rectangular sloping
sides. One of the sides forms the door. The usual loose metallic lining is placed
inside. To the summit of the coal box is attached a small horizontal table which
extends over the fixed sloping side, and has by preference a small ornamental railing
around all or part of its edges. Supporting this table and occupying the triangular
space between it and the fixed sloping side of the box are vertical pillars in rows
forming partitions, which are designed for racks for holding newspapers or music
rolls. On one of the vertical triangular ends of the box is the pocket for the scoop.
This pocket is by preference placed sloping towards the door side of the box, so that
the handle of the scoop projects near the door. The scoop itself is by preference
slightly pointed on its front edge.
