Improvements in Fenders.
I, WILLIAM DAVIES of 43 Lowe Street, Bradford Street, Birmingham in the county
of Warwick, Designer & Modeller do hereby declare the nature of this invention to.
be as follows:
The object of my invention is to construct a fender that has a more ornamental
appearance, and that has a moveable tray in the centre for the convenience of placing
a plate or other article upon it to keep warm.
I make the ends or sides of fenders in such a position that the whole of the orna-
mentation is directly in view when placed in front of the fire place."
I make the tray moveable by working upon an axis or hinge so that it may be
brought to a horizontal position at will.
The accompanying drawings will show the improvements.
Fig. 1 at A represents the ends or sides with the ornamentation in the position
according to my invention.
Fig. 2 at B represents the tray as an ornamental part when not required in use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fenders.
I WILLIAM DAVIES of 43 Lowe Street, Bradford Street, Birmingham, in the county
of Warwick, Designer and Modeller 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 :--
The object of my invention consists in constructing a fender in such a form that the
ornamentation is on the insides of ends or sides; and, that has a tray or centre picce
in the centre of fender, moveable, for the convenience of placing a plate or other
article upon it to keep warm.
In carrying out my invention 1 proceed as follows.
I make the ends or sides so that they incline outwards from centre of fender
thereby showing all their surface, which will be directly in view when placed in front
of fire place.
I make the tray or centre piece moveable by working upon an axis or hinge, or by
sliding upwards & then turning upon an axis so that it may be brought to a hori-
zontal position at will.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to drawings of which sheet 1 was
filed with provisional specification, and sheet 2, 3, 4, and 5 with the complete
specification.
Figure 1 at a represents the ends or sides of fender in the position according to
my invention.
تا
Figure 2 at 6 represents the tray or centre piece as a part and parcel of fender
when not required in use.
Figure 1 at represents the tray or centre piece as described in my invention for
the reception of a plate or other article.
Figure 3 represents a front view of tray or centre piece showing the axis or pivot
at each end. a. a.

page_text: Figure 4 represents a side view of tray or centre piece showing the axis or pivot
at a to be square, which acts as a lock for the tray or centre piece when in a perpen-
dicular, or horizontal position.
Figure 5 represents a view of socket for the axis or pivot to work in.
When the tray or centre piece is in a perpendicular position, before it can be placed
in a horizontal position, it must be lifted up out of the part of socket where it locks
itself, as shown in figure 6 at a, into the round part of socket, which is provided for
axis or pivot to revolve therein, as shown in figure 7 at a.
Figure 8 represents the tray or centre piece made moveable by the means of
a slide, showing the tray or centre piece in perpendicular position forming part of
front of fender.
Figure 9 represents the tray or centre piece in a horizontal position.
Figure 10 represents the side view of tray or centre piece when in a perpendicular
position.
Figure 11 represents the side view of tray or centre piece when in a horizontal
position.
Figure 12 represents the tray or centre piece with sliding parts at a, a, and axis or.
pivot at b, b.
Figure 13 represents a side view of tray or centre piece showing the slide at a.
Figure 14 represents the section of fender in which is the groove for the slide
to work in.
The tray or centre piece must be lifted up until the axis or pivot b, b, in figure 12
comes in contact with the top of fender as shown at a in figure 15, when the tray
or centre piece is up it is thrown back to, and rests, upon the plate shown in
figure 16, the weight of tray or centre piece levers the axis or pivot against the top of
fender as shown in figure 17 at b.
Figure 15 represents a back view of slide and axis or pivot 6 in its position, without
the plate figure 16 fastened on.
Figure 17 represents a plan of the tray or centre piece, slide and groove, when
tray or centre piece is in a horizontal position.

Figure 20 represents the tray or centre piece brought to a horizontal position by
means of the hinges at a, a.
Figure 21 represents the section or side view of figure 20 showing the tray or
centre piece in a horizontal position by means of hinge at a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Improvements in fenders.
First. Improved shape that will allow of a more ornamental appearance.
Secondly. Constructing a fender that has a tray or centre piece moveable, that
can be brought to a horizontal position at will substantially as described and set
forth.
