And in order that our said invention and the manner of performing the same may
be properly understood we hereunto append two sheets of explanatory drawings to
be hereinafter referred to and representing examples of the arrangement of apparatus
which may be used in carrying out our invention.
Figure I, on Sheet 1, of the drawings represents side elevation of fire blower with
perforations for the air to pass through when in operation, and also spindle B for
taking the key for winding up the spring marked D in Figure IV, Sheet 2.
Figure II, on Sheet 1 of the drawings represents plan on top of the fire blower,
cased in with brass, tin or other material and shews spindle A projecting through
lid of casing.
Figure III, on Sheet 1, represents side elevation of fire blower with hole in lid
which takes in the air whilst the fan B is in operation, and likewise shews attach-
ment C (shewn in all the figures) which will fit onto house firebars.
Figure IV, on Sheet 2, represents section through fire blower with lid removed
to shew the arrangement of clock work with spring D wound up and ready for
action.
Figure V, on Sheet 2, represents plan of fire blower with top part of casing
removed to shew fan B which revolves as the spring D releases itself after being
wound up, the fan B thus drawing in the air through the perforations shewn in
Figure 1, Sheet 1, and likewise through the hole shewn in Figure III, Sheet 1,
and forcing it through the spout E (as shewn in all figures) at an increased
draught.
