page_text: Improvements in Fire Stands for Kitchen Fire Hearths.
I, WILLIAM PATERSON EGLIN,. of Crown Works, Sowerby Bridge, in the County of
York, Hardware Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
This invention refers to that class of metallic firestand which is usually placed
across a kitchen fender. These firestands are employed for a variety of purposes
such as putting kettles or pans and plates upon them.
My improvements in this class of firestand consist in the first place of forming a
drawer near the top of the said stand. This drawer may be used to receive coal or
it may be a receptacle for brushes and other odds and ends.
Instead of forming a drawer the top of the firestand may be hinged so as to lift up
and down, and underneath which I propose to place a box to receive coal and other
articles, and instead of the top being hinged one of the sides or front portions may
be hinged and let down or raised up so as to get at the box formed in the said
firestand.

in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-

In order to illustrate my improvements and to shew how my invention can be

page_text: carried out in a practical manner, I will make reference to the accompanying sheets
of drawings wherein Fig. 1. is front elevation of a firestand. According to one
method I form a sliding drawer A which in plan view Fig.-2. is shown partly
opened.
Instead of a drawer I inay form the firestand with a box B provided with a
hinged lid C as shewn in Fig. 3, a plan view shewing the box lid open.
According to another method one or more sides of the box may be hinged or
made to open as shewn at 1) in Fig. 4, a plan view shewing the drawer partly open
or the said side or sides may be hinged or made to lift up as shewn at D,
Figs. 5 and 6, but instead of being capable of lifting upward it or they may be
hinged so as to let downward, but in all the cases illustrated a receptacle is forined
to receive brushes or other loose articles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
In firestands for kitchen fire hearths the combination therewith of a box, drawer,
or hinged lid substantially as herein shewn and described.
