I, MATTHEW BOUSFIELD of Number 52 Micklegate in the City of York
Whitesmith do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED
TRELLACED FIRE FRONT FOR BANGES AND STOVES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
My invention which relates to improvements in the Fronts of Fire Ranges, Fire
Grates and in the sides or casing of Fire Stoves has for its object to substitute for
and replace the thick horizontal iron or metal bars now commonly used for the
fronts of Fire Ranges and Fire Grates and the thick iron or metal plates or casing
Prin 11

page_text: now commonly used for the sides or casing of Fire Stoves by the use of fronts or
casings made of wire or any suitable metal.
For Fire Ranges and Fire Grates in the place of and instead of the thick iron or
metal bars commonly used as fronts I use a Front made of wire or other suitable
metal having a diameter of not more than seven-sixteenth parts of an inch worked
and made in the form of a trellis or lattice or other design of any suitable pattern
and fitted into a framework made of wrought iron or other suitable metal and
made of such a shape, as to fit the front of the fire Range or Fire Grate.
And for Fire Stoves in the place of or instead of the thick metal plates or casing
now commonly used, I use a casing made of wire or other suitable metal having a
diameter of not more than seven-sixteenth parts of. an inch worked and made in
the form of a trellis or lattice or other design of any suitable pattern and fitted
into a frame work made of wrought iron or other suitable metal.
By means of these improvements a greater radiation of heat is obtained from the
Fire contained in the Range, Grate or Stove the residuum left after a fire has burnt
out consists of fine ash only whilst in the case of the thick iron or metal bars now
commonly used there is left a large amount of unconsumed cinders, and the fronts
or casings above described are more durable, and lasting than the aforesaid bars,
plates and casings now commonly used.
In order that my said Invention may be more fully understood I have annexed
hereunto drawings thereof of which the following is the explanation.
Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, represent various forms and patterns of Fronts of
Fire Ranges and Fire Grates constructed according to and slewing the principle of
my said Invention. Figures 8 and 9, represent two forms of Fire-Stoves having
casings constructed according to and shewing the principle of my said Invention.
In all these Figures the Front or Casing respectively is marked with the letter a
and the Framework with the letter b.
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
Fronts for Fire Ranges and Fire Grates and sides or casings for Fire Stoves
made of wire or other suitable metal having a diameter of not more than seven-
sixteenth parts of an inch worked and made in the form of a trellis or lattice or
other design of any suitable pattern and fitted into frameworks made of wrought
Iron or other suitable metal all substantially as and for the purposes herein before
set forth with reference to the annexed sheet of drawings.
