PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Folding Fan Stove Screens.
I, ALEXANDER MULLORD, Manufacturing Fancy Stationer of 1, 2 & 3 Penn Street
Hoxton London, N. do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
::
or
This Invention relates to the piercing, or perforating of a certain description of
Stove Screens commonly understood as and known by the name of "folding
"Fan Stove Screens" or such Stove Screens as are made by folding paper, or other
suitable material the same as a Fan, so that they will shut up and open the same as a
fan, being the means by which an ornamental, fancy, or other pattern or design is
produced by holes or perforations in the paper or other material that the Stove Screen
is made of, so that the air may be enabled to pass through to the chimney when the
Screen is in use thereby acting as a ventilating Stove Screen.
First, I take an ordinary sheet of paper, card, or other material and I cut or pierce
holes or perforations in it by means of a cutting die, or top and bottom cutter, or by
scissors, or by punching, or by ring cutters, or by Embossing or Lacing dies, or
by any other means, whereby boles or perforations can be made. I then fold the
paper, card or other material in the usual way so as to form a fan Screen or I can
fold the paper, card or other material partly, or entirely up before I cut or pierce the
holes or perforations in the same.
Having thus described my invention I would have it understood that I do not
confine myself to any particular design or pattern or to any particular part of the
process in making the Screen; of cutting or perforating the holes or piercings in
the said Screen. Neither do I confine myself to any particular method or process to
produce the perforations or holes in the Screen, as from the nature of the invention
great scope is afforded for ornamentation without unduly obstructing the flow of air to
the chimney.
What, therefore I claim as my invention is a perforated or ventilating Folding Fan
Stove Screen, produced in the manner substantially as herein described.

page_text: 1, ALEXANDER MULLORD Manufacturing Fancy Stationer of 1, 2 & 3 Penn Street,
Hoxton, London N. 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 :-
This invention relates to the piercing or perforating of a certain description of
Stove Screens commonly understood as and known by the name of Folding or Fan Stove
Screens, or such Stove Screens as are made by folding paper or other suitable material
the same as a fan, so that they will shut up and open the same as a fan; being the
means by which an ornamental, fancy or other pattern or design is produced, by holes
or perforations in the paper or other material that the Stove Screen is made of, so that
the air may be enabled to pass through to the chimney when the Screen is in use,
thereby acting as a ventilating Stove Screen. First, I take an ordinary sheet of
paper, card or other material and I cut or pierce holes or perforations in it, or by
means of a cutting die, or top and bottom cutter, or by punching, or by ring cutters,
or by scissors, or by embossing and lacing dies, or by any other means whereby holes
or perforations can be made. I then fold the paper, card, or other material in the
usual way, so as to form a fan screen; or I can fold the paper, card, or other
material partly or entirely up before I cut or pierce the holes or perforations in the
same.
Having thus described my Invention, I would have it understood that I do not
confine myself to any particular design or pattern or to any particular part of the
process in making the screen, or of cutting or perforating the holes or piercings in
the said screen, neither do I confine myself to any particular method or process to
produce the perforations or holes in the screen, as, from the nature of the Invention
great scope is afforded for ornamentation without unduly obstructing the flow of air
to the chimney.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A Perforated or Ventilating Fan Stove Screen produced in the manner substantially
as herein described.
