Improvements in Coal Savers or Coal Economisers.
JAMES HORRIDGE 1 Delaunay's Road Crumpsal Vale Blackley, near Manchester
in the County of Lancaster, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
It consists of a movable grate or grateing, for fitting into ordinary fire grates, the
said grate or grateing has vertical bars about an inch apart and is formed with
one rod or bar of iron bent in a serpentine form as shown in the accompanying
drawings.
The apparatus may be made with round square or other form of iron, but I prefer
round iron.
The object of the invention is to dispense with all longitudinal bars or stays, such
as are used in the existing form of coal savers and to simplify their construction by
being made from one piece of iron and by being bent in the form as shown in the
accompanying sheets of drawings. It ensures a certain amount of spring between
the bars, and by simply drawing a poker across the bars, it causes the said bars to
vibrate, and shake all the dust and dirt out of the fire leaving the fire perfectly
clear.
Fig. 1 shows front elevation of coal saver.
Fig. 2 shows the plan.
Fig. 3 represents a side view.
Fig. 4 shows an isometric view.
Fig. 5 shows how apparatus is fixed in fire grate showing front view.
Fig. 6 shows section through fire giate giving end view of coal saver, showing it
resting on the bottom of the grate and against the front bars.
The apparatus being represented in Figs. 5 and 6 by thick lines.

ascertained in and by the following statement :-
It consists of a movable grate or grateing, for fitting into an ordinary fire grates.
The said movable grate, has vertical bars about an inch apart, and is formed with
one rod or bar of iron, or other metal bent in a serpentine form, as shown in the
drawings, left with the Provisional Specification.
The apparatus may be made with round, square, or other section of metal, bar,
but I prefer round bar.
The object of the invention, is to dispense with all longitudinal bars or stays, such

Figure 5 shows how the apparatus is fixed in an ordinary fire grate giving front
view.
Figure 6 shows section through fire grate showing end view of coal saver,
showing the said coal saver resting on the bottom of the fire grate and against the
front bars.
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,
1st. The apparatus constructed from one bar or rod of metal, substantially
as described.
2nd. The spring or vibration between the bars substantially as described.
3rd. The construction of the apparatus in the form shown in the drawings left
with the Provisional Specification substantially as described.
Dated this 1st day of April 1896.
