COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with Fenders and Ourbs.
I, HARRY EDWARD NLWEY, of London Fields Works, Dudley, in the County of
Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement.
1
My invention has for its object improvements in and connected with fenders
and curbs and has special reference to the particular mode of securing the dogs
or fire iron supports to the fenders or curbs and also in the method in which such
dogs are constructed and fixed in position
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of diawings
upon which I have illustrated examples of my improved dogs on fire non supports
Figure 1 18 a perspective view of a portion of a curb with my dog or fire iron
support hxed thereto
Figure 2 is a similar view to Figure 1 shewing a slight modification
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a portion of a cuib shewing another form of
dog or fiue iron support
Figure 4 is a cross sectional elevation of a portion of a curb shewing one mode
of fixing my dog or fire iron support
In carrying my invention into practice I fix the cap A which may be made in
various ornamental designs or shapes over the top of the front of the curb B and
in the top of this cap I form a hole into which I fix the pillar or support D which
pillar or support forms the main portion of the dog or fire iron rest. The back
member or portion on which the fire irons rest may be formed in one piece
with the leg or back support and the lower rail or member d³ as shewn on the
drawings at Figures 23 and 4 or the front support I may be formed in one piece
with the parts did and d as shewn at Figure 1 the ornamental leaf in this
case may be formed separately and fixed to the support D afterwards, or the
members and d³ may be formed separately The end of the top member d¹
which is fixed to the upper end of the support D may be formed with a screw pin
at this end which passes through a hole in the support D and is fixed in position
by the knob d5 oi its equivalent as shewn at Figure 3 or this end of the
member d may be formed with a loop or the like and fits onto the internal stem
or spindle onto which the parts forming the support D are threaded the upper
part or knob & being screwed onto the end of this stem or spindle for holding the
parts together as shewn at Figures 2 and 4. The lower end of the stem o
spindle de may pass through the hole in the cap A and through a hole formed in
the top of the curb and held therein by the nut d or its equivalent as shewn at
Figure 4 or the stem or spindle may pass through the hole in the cap A only the
nut or its equivalent being fixed in the interior of the cap. In some cases I may
form the support D in one piece with a peg or the like at its lower ends for fixing
it in position as shewn at Figure 3. The front end of the lower rail or member o³
is screw threaded and passes through a hole formed in the cap A and in the curb
or fender B and 18 fixed in position by the knob a¹ or its equivalent as clearly

page_text: shewn at Figure 4 Oi this end of the rail ³ may pass only through the back
portion of the cap and curb or fender, the nut or its equivalent for holding it in
position being fixed in the interior of the curb or fender.
In the method as shewn at Figure 2 I have provided the additional supports d
which help to strengthen the support D the upper ends of which are fixed to the
sides of this support and the lower ends are formed with pegs or projections which
fit into holes formed in the top of the curb B and are held in position by nuts or
their equivalents In the methods as shown at Figures 12 and 4 the lower ends
of the member or support de rests upon the base of the fender or upon the hearth
but in the method as shown at Figure 3 the memlær or support is held clear of
the fender or hearth
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
