COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Coal Saver and Support to be Fitted to Kitchen Ranges
and the like.
1, JAMES RENWICK, of 177 Bury New Road, Higher Broughton, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Fruiterer, 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved appliance to be fitted to kitchen ranges
and the like the object of my invention being to form a combined coal saver and
stand to hold a dutch oven, dish, or the like, in front of the fire in the range.
A convenient construction consists of a grid formed of a number of vertical bars
rivetted at top and bottom to a pair of horizontal bars. The grid is hinged or
interlocked with a suitably shaped bar which is hooked at each end so as to attach
the grid to the top bar of the grate.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a combined coal saver and stand or trivet to be
fitted to a kitchen range or the like.
Fig. 2 is a sectional side view on the line A B, Fig. 1, and
Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views to Figs. 1 and 2 respectively of a slightly
modified form of the appliance.
In the drawings,-a and b designate two horizontal bars connected together by
transverse or vertical bars c two of which are made of a single bar of metal which

page_text: passes through holes in the lower lar 6 and then turns up at c¹ and is bent into a
horizontal bar c parallel to the bar b. Two hooked supporting bars d are formed
of a single bar of metal and stand outside the bars a and b and hook over the top
or other bar e shown in dotted lines of a kitchen range or the like. The bar d is
bent at d¹ so that it stands in front of the two end bars c c and bent again at d² to
pass below and behind the horizontal portion of the bar c and below the bar 6 to
form a horizontal bar d³ parallel to the bar b. The lower portions of the bars c
and d thus interlock and form a hinge upon which the grid a, b and c can turn aud
be supported by the end bars c which rest on the portions d' of the bar d in the
position shown in dotted lines, Figs. 2 and 4.
The only alteration in Figs. 3 and 4 is that the hooked ends of the bar d stand
within the horizontal bars a and b notches being cut away for them in the bar a.
When the grid is hung upon the bar e of the grate the grid bars c form a coal
saver but by means of a poker or rod the bar a of the grid can be raised and
allowed to fall forward into a horizontal position to form a stand or trivet to hold
a dutch oven, dish or the like in front of the fire.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
A combined coal saver and stand or trivet constructed and arranged substantially
as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
