I, THOMAS WILLIAM BARNETT, of Sturminster Newton, in the County of Dorset,
Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Register Stoves as now constructed afford no facilities for repairs, or renewal of
wearing parts, or for the easy cleaning of flues.
This invention is designed to remedy these defects and to permit of all necessary
repairs, and cleaning being done with the greatest ease.
A register stove may be divided into two parts, viz., (1st). "The front or ornamental
margin" & (2nd) "The fire basket or grate with flue, which contains the fire."
My improvements consists in forming the Stove in such a manner that the latter
portion can be readily removed from its normal position, and as readily replaced when
required.
To effect this the 2nd part of the stove is attached to the 1st part, by means of
joints, hinges, pivots, or centres with screws, clips, or catches, in such a way that it
can be unfastened, and turned outwards, by any unskilled person, as for instance, by
the Chimney Sweep, or for the purpose of renewing the fire-linings and the like.
The hinges or pivots may be either attached to the side, or to the lower corner of
the fire-grate, according to the pattern of the stove, and may either remain attached
or be capable of being lifted off as preferred.

Ironmonger 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 :-
Register Stoves as now constructed, offer no facilities for repairs, or for the renewal
of wearing parts, or for the easy cleaning of flues, and are often very difficult to
set or fix properly.
This invention is designed to remedy these defects and to allow of their being fixed
easily and speedily, and to permit all necessary repairs and cleaning of flues being done
much more conveniently than at present.
A Register Stove may for the purposes of description be divided into two parts, viz.
(1) The front or margin which is often ornamented, and (2) the fire basket or grate
which contains the fire, and has an outlet or flue for smoke.
These two parts are usually cast separately and are afterwards screwed or fastened
together so as to be permanently attached to each other and so that part No. 2 cannot
be removed without first taking out part 1.
My improvements consist in forming the stove in such a manner that the part 2 can
be easily removed from the stove, and as readily replaced when desired without
disturbing the margin part 1.
To effect this the No. 2 part is constructed of such a size as to exactly fit the
aperture which it is intended to fill, in part No. 1 ; and to enter its position from the
front of the stove, instead of being fixed on the back, as is now the custom. It is to
be held in its place by means of pivots, hinges or centres, with screws clips lugs or
catches in such a way that it can be entirely removed, or merely turned outwards on
its pivots by any unskilled person, as for instance by the Chimney Sweep or for the
purpose of renewing the fire linings and the like.
The method of attaching the No. 2 part will necessarily differ according to the
pattern of the Stove. For ordinary stoves it is preferred to use pivots fixed on the
lower part of each side of the aperture, lugs with suitable recesses to fit these pivots
being placed at the lower end of the part No. 2 so as to allow the said No. 2 part to
open outwardly on these pivots. A drop button or catch can be used to hold the top
of part No. 2 and prevent its opening inopportunely. I do not however confine myself
to any particular form of attachment, as these will necessarily require modification
according to circumstances.
My system of constructing Register Stoves is also especially suited to what are
known as Mantel Registers, a description of Register Stove which has the Mantel
Piece cast on to it, thus forming a combined Mantel and Stove. These Mantel
Registers if constructed in accordance with the principle of my invention will be much
easier to fix, because, on the fire-grate (or No. 2 part) being removed the workman
will have access to the interior of the Mantel and can thus fix it securely with the
necessary mason work.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:
(1.) A method of constructing Register Stoves in two parts so that the fire basket
and flue outlet can be easily separated from the front when desired as herein described
and setforth.
(2.) A method of attaching the fire-grate and flue outlet of Register Stoves by
means of pivots centres or hinges from the front of the stove, so as to enable it to turn
outwards or be entirely removed when required, as herein explained and setforth.
