I, SAMUEL JAMES TURNER, 41, Frederick Street, Birmingham, Warwick,
Diamond Setter, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in hearth plates, tiles and the like, the
object being to prevent the necessity of joints running across the designs in hearth
plates, tiles and the like, and also to enable hearth plates to be readily attached
or removed when required. In carrying out my invention I provide a piece of
sheet iron or other suitable material of a suitable size and shape according to the
position in which it has to be fixed which is enamelled or decorated, and I provide
this plate with pegs or studs for enabling it to be secured in position. If desired
I may provide the plates with apertures or holes for the passage of screws or the
like for the purpose of enabling the hearth plate, tile or the like to be secured in
position. The corners of the tile may be suitably shaped in order to fit or
correspond with the position in which it is to be fixed.

Improvements in Hearth Plates, Tiles, and the like.
I, SAMUEL JAMES TURNER, 41, Frederick Street, Birmingham, Warwick,
Diamond Setter, 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 improvements in hearth plates, tiles and the like, the
object being to prevent the necessity of joints running across the designs in hearth
plates, tiles and the like, and also to enable hearth plates to be readily attached
or removed when required. In carrying out my invention I provide a piece of
sheet iron or other suitable material of a suitable size and shape according to the
position in which it has to be fixed which is enamelled or decorated, and I provide
this plate with pegs or studs for enabling it to be secured in position. If desired
I may provide the plates with apertures or holes for the passage of screws or the
like for the purpose of enabling the hearth plate, tile or the like to be secured in
position. The corners of the tile may be suitably shaped in order to fit or
correspond with the position in which it is to be fixed.
Referring to the annexed drawings,

page_text: Figure 1, is a plan view of my improved hearth plate.
Figure 2, cross section.
a is a plate of suitable material such as iron, which is enamelled and provided
with ornamentations such as b, and may have holes c for the passage of screws or
the like for securing it in position, or it may be provided with pegs or studs b
as shewn in Figure 2, for the purpose of engaging in the surface to which it is
to be attached. The corners of the plate e are cut or shaped so as to fit in the
different positions such as the hearth or side of fire place.
By this arrangement it will be seen that the design is complete in each plate,
thus avoiding the unsightly appearance which tiles have when a seam or join
takes place across the design.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. In hearth plates or tiles; a plate of iron or such suitable material provided
with an enamelled design thereon; pins or studs attached to said plate for the
purpose of enabling the plate to be secured in position, or apertures for the passage
of screws or the like; the corners of said plate being cut or shaped to suit the
position in which the plate is to be used.
