DISPOSING AND PACKING FIRE MATERIAL
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOHN PARTRIDGE of 29 City Road in the County of Middlesex Window
Fitting Maker do hereby, declare the nature of my Invention for DISPOSING
AND PACKING FIRE MATERIAL to be as follows:-
This Invention consists in combining and disposing the necessary material for
readily producing a substantial and useful fire and the enclosing same in a packet
form, in any desired enclosure to enable same to be placed, in grate, stove furnace
or other fire holding receptacle or enclosure.
The means of enclosing same fire material consists of a bag box or wrapping in
which material such as shavings, wood and coal is disposed in the order requisite
for laying the materials in a fire place.
The same materials being enclosed in a portable packet form to enable fire
material to be stored with ease and cleanliness in offices and where required
without the need of a coalcellar.
:
The mode of packing same is proposed to be varied to suit the size and form of
any fire holding receptacle and by arranging material and lighting position thus
ensure a current of air through material to facilitate a rapid and certain
combustion

page_text: I JOHN PARTRIDGE of 29 City Road, St. Lukes in the County of Middlesex
Window Fitting Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for
DISPOSING AND PACKING FIRE MATERIAL and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This Invention consists in combining and disposing the necessary material for
producing a substantial and useful fire in a packet form by enclosing same material
in any receptacle or wrapping.
The means of effecting same, I now proceed to describe.
The means for combining fire material is proposed to be by a bag, box, basket, or
other mode of wrapping. And the material necessary to ensure the quickly
lighting of the more substantial fuel is disposed in said enclosure in any order or
form desired, thus, the packet would probably be disposed as follows. At the
bottom of the receptacle would be placed in a similar order in which an ordinary
fire is "laid " some shavings or other quickly lighting materials, next some wood,
so formed or held together in packet to ensure a most certain combustion of the
substantial fuel used, such as, coal, coke or any other burning substance. The
packet is also proposed to be made to contain only one or any number of kinds of
burning material the same being made conveniently portable by being contained
and disposed in a packet or enclosure.
The utility consists in its affording a ready, cleanly, portable and certain means
for the producing a fire without the necessity of "laying" same, it is useful for
domestic, copper, furnace, engine, foundry and other fires; and affords a means of
utilizing small and dust coal or other burning material by disposing same in a
packet form and thereby making same conveniently portable by being contained
in an enclosure.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The disposing and enclosing in a packet form the necessary material for readily
producing a substantial and useful fire, and proportioning and combining same in
a packet thereby providing portable and ready means for producing a fire.
Dated this Twenty fifth day of August 1884.
