Combined Oinder Soreen and Ash Pans.
ROBERT YATES Card Master No. 59 High Street Preston Lancashire do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-

The back ash pan is to catch the ash, and the front one to receive the cinders.
Combined cinder screen and ash pan the incline bars or grate are 9 in. long by
in. broad by in. thick with in. holes drilled through top and bottom that will
allow No. 3 charcoal iron wire to go through and form the bars, the bars are put
together on the charcoal iron wire with washers in between the bars in. in
circumference with in. holes in. thick 3 washers between each bar top and
bottom with two iron sides or stands made of the same strength of iron as the bars,
bent with 4 in. legs at the front and 11 in. legs at the back with two in. holes
at the top of the back legs for the charcoal iron wire to go through to act as an
hinge for incline bars, for the small ash to go through into the back ash pan.

saving time in cleaning Also two ash pans one to hold the ash and the other to hold
the cinders.
Fig. 1 marked A. is a front view of incline bars or cinder screen underneath the
fire grate.
That portion marked B in the same drawing is the front of the back ash pan in
position underneath the cinder screen that catches the small ash.
Fig. 2 marked C is a side view of incline bars or cinder screen underneath the
fire grate with the arrows shewing the draught going on to the fire.
D in the same drawing is side view of back ash pan in position underneath the
incline bars, or cinder screen.
E in the same drawing is a side view of front ash pan in position in front of the
fire grate that catches the large cinders as they roll from off the incline bars or cinder
screen.

Fig. 4 marked g is a side view of back ash pan when out of position.
Fig. 5 marked is a front view of draught plate when out of position.
Fig. 6 marked i is a side view of draught plate when out of position.
Fig. 7 marked a is a front view of incline bars or cinder screen out of position
with ash pans and draught plate attached.
The front ash pan in the same drawing is marked e and the draught plate in the
same drawing is marked 7 shewing them in position when working.
Fig. 8 marked e is a front view of front ash pan when out of position.
Fig. 9 marked e is a side view of front ash pan when out of position.
Fig. 1 is a front view of cinder screen or incline bars in position underneath the
bars of the fire grate, marked a, the cinders and ash fall
incline bars the cinders roll down the bars into the front as the cinder screen or
pan marked e and the

The cinder screen or incline bars are 9 in. long by 1 in. broad by in. thick
with in. holes drilled through top and bottom about in. from each end of the
bars that will allow No. 3 charcoal iron wire to go through and form the bars, the
.bars are put together on the charcoal iron wire with washers in between the bars,
the washers are in. in circumference with in. holes in and in, thick with two iron
sides or stands made of the same strength of iron as the incline bars with 44 in.
legs at the front and 11 in. legs at the back with two in. holes at the top of the

The front ash pan is 8 in. long by 14 in. wide with sides 6 in. deep with a lip
3 in. wide to go underneath the back ash pan. The front ash pan is covered over
on the top with sheet brass Te in. thick or sheet steel the same thickness or cast
