House Fire Fiaces.
I, JAMES ALEXANDER MCKEE of No. 33 Fleetwood Street, Carlisle Circus, Belfast,
in the County of Antrim Ireland, Ironmongers Assistant, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
That the inner body of the grate, or what is termed by the trade the interior, shall
be made detached and moveable, so that it can be drawn out, to give greater facility
for fixing and repairs: The said interior, which shall run on rollers fixed at the back,
may be made to draw out altogether, or the back and sides of it, either or all of them,
may be made removeable, and the said interior may be made fast to the outer front
with nuts and screws at the top corners, and other fasteners at the bottom, also that
the back part of the grate shall be enclosed with a metallic casing, or otherwise made
smooth and level all round from bottom to top, so that there should not be any
difficulty in building the surrounding brick work to fit it: also that when brass or
other metallic mouldings or enrichments are applied, that they shall be fixed with
screws from the front, so that they may be easily removeable for cleaning.
