PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Clifford Morgan,
Henry Macaulay, and Francis William Waide at the Office of the
Commissioners of Patents, with their Petition, on the 26th March
1870.
WC, JAMES CLIFFORD MORGAN, HENRY MACAULAY, and FRANCIS
WILLIAM WAIDE, of Rotherham, in the County of York, Ironfounders,
do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN MANTEL REGISTER STOVES AND REGISTER STOVES," to be as follows:-
The Invention refers to mantel register stoves and register stoves. In
Omantel register stoves having conical, circular, elliptical, gothic, or other
shaped arches we cast the mantel and shelf, the front of the stove with

page_text: the arch, the cheeks, the back, the fire-back and checks complete in one
casting, instead of separately in several parts as heretofore.
We also according to our Invention cast the register stove with its
front with any shaped arch, as herein-before described, the checks, the
back, the fire-back and checks complete in one casting, but separate
and apart from the mantel and shelf, instead of separately in several
parts as heretofore. The shelf of the mantel register stove may be
made separately and fitted with screw bolts, or otherwise. An opening
or openings may be provided in the casting of either the mantel register
stove or register stove to receive a fire-brick or bricks. The valve door
or doors for closing the smokeway or ways, the bottom grate, and the
range bars we make separately.
The mantel register stove or register stove may be embellished with
plain or ornamental beads, mouldings, or ornaments cast on and forming
part thereof, or loose and fixed or fastened to any part with screws,
bolts, springs, or otherwise.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said James Clifford Morgan, Henry Macaulay, and
Francis William Waide in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
23rd September 1870.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, wc, JAMES
CLIFFORD MORGAN, HENRY MACAULAY, and FRANCIS WILLIAM WAIDE,
of Rotherham, in the County of York, Ironfounders, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-sixth day of March, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy, in the thirty-
third year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto us, the said James Clifford Morgan, Henry Macaulay,
and Francis William Waide, Her special licence that we, the said James
Clifford Morgan, Henry Macaulay, and Francis William Waide, our
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as we, the said
James Clifford Morgan, Henry Macaulay, and Francis William Waide,
our executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter

page_text: during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN MANTEL REGISTER STOVES AND REGISTER STOVES," upon the
condition (amongst others) that we, the said James Clifford Morgan,
Henry Macaulay, and Francis William Waide, our executors or adminis-
trators, by an instrument in writing under our or their hands and seals,
or under the hand and seal of one of us or them, should particularly
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said James Clifford Morgan on behalf of
myself and the said Henry Macaulay and Francis William Waide, do
hereby declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say:
-
This Invention refers to mantel register stoves and register stoves.
In mantel register stoves having conical, circular, cliptical, gothic, or
other shaped arches we cast the mantel and shelf, the front of the stove
with the arch, the cheeks, the back, and fire-back and cheeks complete
in one casting, instead of separately in several parts as heretofore.
We also according to our Invention cast the register stove with its
front with any shaped arch, as herein-before described, the checks, the
back, the fire-back and checks complete in one casting, but separate
and apart from the mantel and shelf, instead of separately in several
parts as heretofore. The shelf of the mantel register stove may be
made separately and fitted with screws, bolts, or otherwise. An opening
or openings may be provided in the casting of either the mantel register
stove or register stove to receive a fire-brick or bricks. The valve door
or doors for closing the smoke way or ways, the bottom grate, and the
range bars we make separately.
The mantel register stove or register stove may be embellished with
plain or ornamental beads, mouldings, or ornaments cast on and forming
part thereof, or loose and fixed, or fastened to any part with screws,
bolts, springs, or otherwise.
Having thus described the nature of our Invention, we will proceed
to describe more fully the manner of performing the same.

page_text: In the Drawings hereunto annexed we have shewn a register stove
made according to our Invention with the front, the arch, the cheeks,
and the back all cast together in one piece.
Figure 1 shews a front view in perspective of the register stove;
Figure 2 shews a vertical transverse section, and Figure 2* a front view
in perspective of the casting which forms the front, the arch, the checks,
and the back of tho stove; Figure 3 shews a vertical transverse section
of the register stove complete; and Figure 4 shews a horizontal section.
taken through the centre of the fire basket. The stove shewn in theso
Figures is formed with an opening in the back to receive a fire-brick.
;
In these Figures a is the stove front with a plain or enriched
moulding a 6 is the arch; c, the cheeks; 0', the fire checks; and d,
the back; e is a fire-brick forming the back of the fire basket; f is the
bottom grate, made in a separate casting; this is shown soparately at
Figures 5 g are the front bars, made also in a separate casting; these
are shewn separately at Figure 6; is the valve door for closing the
smoke way; this is shewn separately at Figures 7. The bottom grate f
rests upon lugs c² cast upon the side cheeks c, and a screw projecting
from its rear end passes through a hole in the back d, and is thero
retained by a nut screwed on to it. The front bars 9 slip down into
their places behind the guards c', which may either be cast together
with the cheeks, or may be cast separately, and affixed to the checks by
screw pins or otherwise. The valvo door drops into its place behind
the smoke way, and lugs h¹ upon it come between lugs c* cast upon the
stove back, so forming a loose hinge joint, the lugs also prevent the
valve door from opening back too far. The fire-brick back e is formed
with bevil sides; it is slipped up into its place from the front before the
fire-grate is slipped into its place, the bevil sides of the fire-brick then
come between inclined projections on the back of the stove; these are
seen clearly at Figures 2 and 4. The bottom grate is then slipped into
its place, and its rear end comes below the bottom of the fire-brick,
lugs upon it also come against the front of the fire-brick and securely
retain it in its place. The bottom grate is secured in its place by a nut
screwed on to the screw f¹, as above explained, and the front bars are
then dropped into place behind the guards c. In place of an opening
being formed in the back of the stove to receive a fire-brick the fire-back

page_text: may, as above stated, be cast in one piece with the other parts of the
stove. The register stove may also, as above stated, be cast together
with a mantel and mantel-shelf; a front view of such a mantel register
stove is shewn at Figure 8 of the Drawings; or the mantel-shelf may be
cast separately.
By constructing register stoves and mantel register stoves in the
manner above described a great saving in labour is effected both in the
casting and fitting.
Having thus described the nature of our Invention and the manner
of performing the same, we would have it understood that what we
claim is,
First. The casting a register stove with its front with any desired
shaped arch, the checks and the back complete in one casting, sub-
stantially as herein described.
Second. The casting a mantel register stove with the mantel or with
the mantel and shelf, and with the front with the arch, and the checks
and back complete in one casting, substantially as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Clifford Morgan, have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Eighth day of September, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy.
