I ARTHUR FOLEY of 41 Fisherton Street, Salisbury in the County of Wilts
Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE ARRANGEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEPTACLES
FOR COAL OR OTHER FUEL IN COMBINATION WITH CHIMNEY PIECES OR FIRE
PLACES" to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to improvements in the arrangement construction and
application of receptacles for coal or other fuel in combination with chimney pieces
or fire places.
For this purpose I make the chimney breasts or jambs a (as represented in
Figure 1 of the Drawings annexed) of a chimney piece hollow into each of which
I fit a coal coko or other receptacle b for fuel which may either be fixed or so
arranged as to slido therein or move to and fro on hinges to open sideways fall
over or be otherwise conveniently arranged in order that the coal or other fuel
may be readily introduced into and withdrawn from such receptacles as required
for use.
A cupboard or box c, may be formed above the receptacle if desired.
These receptacles may bo covered by a door flap side or other suitable cover to
correspond in appearance with the other parts of the chimney piece or fire place.
The lower part of each jamb or breast a may be enlarged so as to project
therefrom (as shown by Figure 2 or in like manner thereto) in order to form
receptacles for fuel in accordance with iny Invention and the front ends of such
receptacles may be connected by a fixed fence or guard or by a moveable bar or
guard d so as to dispense with the use of a feeder.
In place of the receptacles 6 forming part of each jamb or breast of the
chimney piece such receptacles inay be fitted to the base or lower part of the
jambs and the form of such receptacles may be considerably varied in order to
give an ornamental appearance to the chimney piece or fire place.
Receptacles for coal or other fuel applied to chimney pieces or fire places as
previously described add greatly to the convenience economy and utility thereof as
coal may be kept in one receptacle and coke wood or other fuel in the other.

Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN THE ARRANGEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEPTACLES
FOR COAL OR OTHER FUEL IN COMBINATION WITH CHIMNEY PIECES OR FIRE
PLACES," and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This Invention relates to improvements in the arrangement construction and
application of receptacles for coal or other fuel, in combination with chimney pieces
or fire places.
For this purpose according to my improvements I introduco into the chimney
breasts, jambs, hoods, or sides (ns represented by the letter a in Figures 1 to 12 of
the accompanying illustrativo Drawings of chimney pieces and fire places) cavities
or hollow spaces, into which I fit receptacles for coal, coke or other fuel (as
represented by the letter in the Figures of accompanying Drawings) which
receptacles may either be fixed or so arranged as to slide in-and-out, or move to
and fro on hinges, open sideways fall over, or be otherwise conveniently arranged,
in order that fuel may be readily introduced into and withdrawn from such
receptacles 6 and so that they may be readily-removed for Alling when required.
b
When requisite for the greater or more convenient storage of fuel than can
always be attained in chimney pieces or fire places of the usual outline
(consistently with utility and artistic requirements)-I form the lower part of
cach jamb breast or side so as to project towards the base as shown in Figures 7,"
8, 11 and 12 and fit into such spaces, receptacles in accordance with any
Invention.
These receptacles b may be enclosed as shown in the various Figures of the
accompanying Drawings, by a door, flap, slide, drawer, revolving shutter, or other
suitable cover to which it is fixed, hinged, or otherwise appended when necessary,
in accordance with the several methods of application previously described.
Cupboards, doors, drawers, shelves c, or other suitable arrangements are formed
above the receptacles b, as may be desired for convenience or tasto and as
illustrated by the Drawings.
I make no claim to any of the parts separately which are well known and in
common use.
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 :-
First. The improved arrangement and introduction of receptacles b for holding
coal or other fuel into chimney pieces or fire places and the improved combination
of parts resulting therefrom substantially as above described and illustrated by
Figures 1 to 12 of the accompanying Drawings.
Second. I claim the improved arrangement and application of receptacles bin
the projection of the jamb or base of the chimney piece or fire place, substantially
as described and illustrated by Figures 7, 8, 11, and 12 of the Drawings annexed
for the purpose of introducing larger or more convenient receptacles than could in
some instances be otherwise attained.
Third. I claini tho improved application of receptacles b, made either in wood,
stone, iron or any other suitable material, composition or metal, or in any com-
bination of materials, whether manufactured in separate pieces or cast, in one

page_text: piece or fitted to existing chimney pieces or fire places, and in whatever manner
fixed or let into the chimney breast or jamb substantially as and for the purpose
herein before described and illustrated by the Drawings annexed.
