I, SAMUEL BROTHERTON SUTCLIFFE, of Sherborne Street, Strangeways, Man-
'chester in the County of Lancaster, Tile Manufacturer, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN TILE HEARTHS
to be as follows:-
AND FENDERS'
"
The object of this invention is to construct a tile hearth and fender combined
which shall be complete in itself and shall not require to be affixed to the
permanent hearth nor require cementing into its place and thus is capable. of
removal say when giving up the tenancy of a house.
In performing my invention I construct the tile hearth with the surrounding
fender all in one removable piece and the fender of which is built up of tiles all
secured by cement to a combined metal and wooden frame-work or. base-the
fender in some cases being further surrounded by an edging of wood, metal or
other suitable material.

nature of my 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 this invention is so to construct a tile hearth and fender combined
which shall be complete in itself and shall not require to be affixed to the
permanent hearth nor require cementing into its place and thus is capable of
removal say when giving up the tenancy of a house.
In performing my invention I construct the tile hearth with the surrounding
fender all in one removable piece and the fender of which is built up of tiles all
secured by cement to a combined metal and wooden framework or base-the fender
in some cases being further surrounded by an edging of wood, metal or other
suitable material.
IM
And in order that this my said invention may be the more readily understood
and carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a drawing shewing one
mode of constructing a 'combined tile hearth and fender in accordance with this
invention.
Fig. 1. represents a cross sectional view of a fender and so much of a tile hearth
(shewn broken off) as is necessary to illustrate my improvements.
Surrounding a sheet iron or other suitable metallic base a. to form the design of
fender required I affix a moulded wooden bordering b. This in its turn forms the
support for a bed of cement c. upon which is laid the tiling d. and the top edge of
which tiling is protected by a wooden or metallic mould e. Inside this bordering b.
and laid upon the same metallic base a. so as to form one consolidated piece
therewith, is a bed of concrete f, and above this the tile hearth g. the intermediate
space being filled in with a layer of cement h.
In this manner I am enabled to build up a tile.hearth and fender and to combine
the same together in a removable form as and for the purposes hereinbefore
described.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it to be understood that
I do not confine myself to the precise arrangement and construction of materials
herein before described, and illustrated on the accompanying drawing, as it will be
obvious that the same may be considerably varied without departing from the
invention, but what I claim is:-
Constructing a tile hearth and fender combined and in a removable form
substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
