PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Attachment to Domestic Fireplaces for Economizing
Fuel and Supporting Irons and Cooking Appliances.
1, THOMAS REDMAYNE of Hallamshire Foundry Sylvester Street Sheffield in the
County of York, Gas Stove Manufacturer, etc. do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention is for an improved attachment to domestic fireplaces for economizing
fuel, and supporting irons and cooking appliances: To more clearly explain my inven-
tion I have annexed a sheet of drawings hereto. Fig. 1 is the coal-saver hung on
the fire-bar in the ordinary manner. The standards A. A' (preferably cast-iron) are
connected by iron bars b. b. band are preferably male of the form shown. The front
bar C, for supporting a smoothing iron is removable: It is held in position by a new
method, as follows:-On the standard A, I form a boss d. recessed to a sufficient
depth, and on the opposite standard A' I also form a corresponding projecting
socket e.
One end of the said removable bar is pushed into the recessed hoss d, and
the other end drops in the socket e. On the standards A, A' are also sockets f, ƒ,
with a round hole vertically through each. The round pins f₁, f¹ on the link of the
toasting fork G, and on the stem of the trivet H, fit into these holes so as to work
freely. The fork is used for toasting, the links g, g, allowing adjustment before the
fire. The trivet H is for a rest for a plate, pan, kettle, etc. or small cooking oven
for use before the fire: the distance from which may be regulated at pleasure. I do
not limit myself to the precise forms in the drawing, as they may be varied without
departing from the principle of my invention.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Attachment to Domestic Fireplaces for Economizing
Fuel and Supporting Irons and Cooking Appliances.
I, THOMAS REDMAYNE of Hallanshire Foundry Sylvester Street Sheffield in the
County of York Gas Stove Manufacturer etc., 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:-
My Invention is for "An Improved Attachment to domestic fireplaces for economiz-
ing fuel, and supporting irons and cooking appliances." I adopt the sheet of drawings
left with the provisional specification. Fig. 1 is the attachment (usually called a
coal-saver) hung on the firebars in the ordinary manner. The standards A. A'
(preferably cast-iron) are connected by iron bars b. b. b. and are preferably made
of the form shown. The front bar c. for supporting a smoothing iron, is remov-
able. It is held in position by a new method as follows.
On the standard A. I.
form a boss d recessed to a sufficient depth, and on the opposite standard A¹,
I also form a corresponding projecting socket e. One end of the said removable
bar is pushed into the recessed boss d, and the other end drops into the socket e.
On the standards A. A¹ are also sockets f. f. with a round hole vertically through
each; the said holes being of equal diameter. The round pins f¹¹ (preferably
wrought iron) on the link of the toasting-fork G. and on the stem of the trivet H.
fit into these holes so as to work freely. The links y. g. allow the toasting-fork to
be adjusted before the fire. The trivet H is for a rest for plate, pan, kettle etc.,
or small cooking oven for use before the fire, the distance from which may be
regulated at pleasure. I sometimes place two or more sockets on either or both of

page_text: the standards. The socket-holes are of equal diameter: and the fork-link and
trivet having uniform pins are interchangeable and great facility of adjustment is
given. do not limit myself to the precise forms in the drawings as they may be
varied without departing from the principle of my invention.
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. The construction of the standards, of the attachment with one or more sockets on
either or both of the standards as herein before described and set forth.
2. The use of an adjustable toasting-fork or trivet, or both in connection with the
attachment as hereinbefore described and set forth in the drawings.
3. The method of supporting the removable front bar of the attachment as herein-
before described and set forth in the drawings.
Dated this 17th day of June 1889.
