PALLISER BOSOMWORTH 68 Worcester Street Gateshead Painter do hereby
declare the nature of this invention for AN IMPROVEMENT IN FIREBRICKS FOR
FIREPLACES, to be as follows:-
:-
I construct of fireclay or any suitable material a firebrick. The drawing A 1 is
a front view showing the holes K for permitting a draught of air to come from the
back of the fire. Figure A is a plan of the brick. Figure L is a side elevation in
section through A & B, showing the space between the bottom of the brick & the
fire-grate for the air to circulate also the depth of the grooves D. The air
comes in at the bottom passes up the slots K and K¹ into the fire. The brick
becoming hot is a fire in itself & supplies the place of coal thereby making
a better fire with less coal & consequently less expense. L1 is an elevation
The dotted line D shows

shows the depth of the slots K and where they join the hollow on the bottom of
the fire brick. The dotted radius O is the hollow at the bottom of the brick to
admit the air to the slots K. The fire brick is put into the fire place with the
slots K to the front the back of the brick being put against the brickwork, and
the bottom resting on the fire grate. The brick being loose admits of its removal
