STOVES WITH SLIDING CANOPIES
Year: 1885

page_text: CLEMENT HAMIL PERROT, Eastwood Lodge Rotherham, Ironfounder and ARTHUR
HABERSHON, Ferham House Rotherham, Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature
of their invention for MAKING STOVES WITH SLIDING CANOPIES to be as follows:-
The adaptation of a canopy to a grate with bevilled cheeks in such a way
that the canopy can be raised or lowered to any desired distance from the fire
bars This we accomplish by means of a rack, pulleys and weights or any other
mechanical contrivance.
We are aware that stoves have been made for many years with a straight plate
to rise and fall behind the inner front or frieze of the stove but our invention is
distinct from that method, as by our plan a projecting canopy or in cases where a
projecting canopy is not used what is usually called the frieze is made to be raised
or lowered above or below the top strip (or piece of metal that fills horizontally
the space between the front and interior of the stove and bevilled cheeks on either
side) without having any covering of metal or other material below this top strip
and in front of the above mentioned canopy or frieze. Wo shew the canopy raised
and lowered on the drawings sent herewith.

page_text: CLEMENT HAMIL PERROT of Eastwood Lodge, Rotherham, Ironfounder and ARTHUR
HABERSHON of Ferham House, Rotherham Ironfounder do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for ADAPTING SLIDING CANOPIES TO STOVE-GRATES 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 that portion of the
grate which is usually described as the canopy or frieze can be moved from or
towards the fire bars and fixed at any point by means of a rack, chain & weights or
any other mechanical contrivance whatever.
We are aware that stove-grates of various forms have for many years been made
fitted with draught plates or blowers to work up and down behind the above,
mentioned canopy or frieze, which canopy or frieze has been a fixture, and in cases
of arched grates behind the arch-But by our method that part of the grate which
has been used as the blower becomes a fixture and the canopy or frieze is moved
down in front of it so as to act as a blower and when not being used for that
purpose the canopy or frieze is lifted up to the position it usually occupies when
not used as a blower, that is, in cases where the grate has bevilled cheeks, the top
of the canopy or frieze about on a level with the top-strip or flat plate that fills up
horizontally the space formed by the cheeks and the front of the grate.
•
We represent in the accompanying engraving a grate in one case with the
canopy raised quite up and in the other lowered.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is :-
(1) The making of stove-grates fitted with canopies or friezes that can be
lowered so as to act as blowers.
(2) The making of stove-grates fitted with canopies or friezes that can be
partially lowered so as to act as smoke preventers in the case of smokey chimneys.
Dated this eleventh day of May, 1886.
