CLEMENT HAMIL PERROT Ironfounder Eastwood Lodge Rotherham, ARTHUR
HABERSHON Ironfounder, Ferham House Rotherham, & JOHN CHRISTOPHER RICHMOND
model-maker, 84 Regent Street Rotherham do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for MAKING GRATES WITH MOVEABLE INTERIORS, to be as follows:
We claim the making of stove grates in such a manner that the interior (or
portion of the grate that contains the fire) can be drawn forward or pushed back as
desired & if required be removed from the remainder of the grate altogether--We
accomplish this by allowing the lower edges of the sides of the interior or back
metal (which may be either curved or straight) slide across the fixed back strap of
piece of metal that connects together the legs of the stove front-We prevent the
interior being drawn too far forward by means of a lug or lugs projecting from the
back but which on slightly raising the interior allows of the whole being removed
from the remainder of the stove.

HABERSHON, Ironfounder, Ferham House, Rotherham, and JOHN CHRISTOPHER
RICHMOND model maker, Maltby near Rotherham do hereby declare the nature of our
invention for STOVE GRATES WITH MOVEABLE INTERIORS and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
We claim the making of stove grates in such a manner that the interior (or portion
of the grate that contains the fire, herein after called the fire basket) can be drawn
forwards or pushed backwards as desired, and if required be removed from the
remainder of the grate altogether.
In the accompanying drawings we shew the fire basket in three positions, namely,
removed from the stove altogether in figure 1, in its position in the stove drawn
forward to its fullest extent in figure 2, and pushed back to its farthest extent in
figure 3 in which position the bottom grate A fits over the plate B thus preventing
access of air through the bottom grate, or making the grate into what is usually
termed a slow combustion one.
We prefer to make the underside of the fire basket curved as shewn at the bearing
slides D, at the inner end of each of which we provide lugs E to prevent the fire
basket being drawn too far forward-In order for its removal from the grate it is
necessary to lift up the fire basket until the lugs E are clear of the back strap F upon
which the slides D work.
We also prefer to make the upper part of the fire basket inclined backwards at
the necessary angle to keep it in the same upright position in whatever part of the
curved slides D it may be placed-This inclined upper portion of the fire basket works
through the slit G in the fixed back metal H for the purpose of affording a guide
whilst the fire basket is being pushed in or pulled out, and also of preventing the
upper portion of the basket from falling forwards when pressure is brought to bear
upon the fire bars.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the matter of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is
(1) The making of stove grates with removable fire baskets constructed as
herein described.
(2) The making of stove grates with adjustable fire baskets provided with either
flat or curved slides.
(3) The making of stove grates in such a manner that when the fire basket is
pushed back the fire is made slow combustion.
