Year: 1885

page_text: I EPHRAIM TAYLOR of 74 Blakey Moor Blackburn Lancashire, Fuel Econimiser
& Washing Machine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN GRATES TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OPEN FIRE
PLACES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ECONIMISING FUEL & PREVENTING DOWN DRAUGHTS
to be as follows:-
My invention consists in the first part of an L shaped grate formed of round &
flat wrought iron bars The round bars are made L shaped and doubled at one end.
so as to form the bottom part double one portion of the flat bars are made with
suitable holes so as to be slided on to the round bars. The round bars being
reveted to the top cross bar two of the round bars are made double at the bottom
and made a suitable shape to form the feet. The advantage of this grate over
other shaped grates is the bars being made double at the bottom part and they
feet being formed double. This grate is made suitable to be fixed in any ordinary
fire grate.
My invention consists secondly of a grate made of plate iron semicircle shape
being slotted or perferated in the bottom part having a hook on the top part so as
it can be placed on the front of the fire bars. The advantage of this grate is for
the purpose of getting greater heat to pass under the oven being made semicircle
allows the air to pass betwixt the bars and the plated part of the grate.
My invention consists thirdly of a grid or grate formed of round and flat iron
bars the handle being made to form two of the bars so that the bars can be slided
through the flat bars for the purpose of regulating the size of the grid or grate to
suit any ordinary fire place. The front part of the grid or grate is formed with
feet for the purpose of resting on the top bar of the fire place The advantage of
this grid or grate is the handle forming two of the bars for the purpose of
regulating the size to any ordinary fire place This grid or grate is used to save
the breaking up of the fire when cooking thereby econimising fuel. My invention
consists fourthly of a grate or grating for the purpose of preventing down draughts
This grating is formed of a slotted or perforated front plate having wrought iron
bars fixed at right angle with the front plate fixed in rows to suit different flues..
This grate or grating is placed at the bottom of the chimney flue.

I EPHRAIM TAYLOR of 74 Blakey Moor Blackburn Lancashire Fuel Econimniser
& Washing Machine Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN GRATES TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH OPEN FIRE
PLACES FOR THE PURPOSE OF ECONIMISING FUEL AND PREVENTING DOWN
DRAUGHTS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement, to be as follows:-
My Invention consists in the first part of an L shaped grate formed of round
and flat wrought iron bars the round bars are made L shaped and double at one
end so as to form the bottom part double one portion of the flat bars are made
with suitable holes so as to be slided on to the round bars. The round bars being
revetted to the top cross bar two of the round bars are made double at the bottom
and made a suitable shape to form the feet. The advantage of this grate over
other shaped grates is the bars being made double at the bottom part and the
feet being formed double This grate is made suitable to be fixed in any ordinary
fire grate.
My Invention consists secondly, of a grate made of plate iron made semicircle
shape being slotted or perforated in the bottom part having a hook on the top part
so as it can be placed on the front of the fire bars. The advantage of this grate
is for the purpose of getting greater heat to pass under The oven being made
semicircle allows the air to pass betwixt the bars and the plated parts of the
grate.
My Invention consists thirdly of a grid or grate formed of round and flat iron
bars the handle being made to form two of the bars so that they bars can be slided
through the flat bars for the purpose of regulating the size of the grid or grate to
suit any ordinary fire place The front part of the grid or grate is formed with
feet for the purpose of resting on the top bar of the fire place. The advantage of
this, grid or grate is the handle forming two of the bars for the purpose of
regulating the size to any ordinary fire place. This grid or grate is used to save
the breaking up of the fire when cooking thereby econimising fuel.
My Invention consists fourthly of a grate or grating for the purpose of preventing
down draughts this grating is formed of a slotted or perforated front plate having
wrought iron bars fixed at right angle with the front plate fixed in rows to suit
different flues. This grate or grating is placed at the bottom of the chimney flue.
In order that my Invention may be fully understood I will now proceed to
explain it by reference to the accompanied sheet upon which Fig. 1 is a view of
L shaped grate formed of strong angular bar and flat bar accross the bottom
These are specially adapted for fireplaces where the oven is heated from behind
or bath boilers. Fig. 2 is a view of L shaped grate made to suit ordinary fire
grates Fig. 3 & 4 are views of grates formed with joints to suit different shaped
fire places with or without bottom as shewn. Fig. 5 is a view of slotted plate with

page_text: wrought iron cross bars attached for preventing down draughts Fig. 6 view of
grate made of plate iron in a circular form with slots at the bottom for admission
of air. Fig. 7 is a view of grate or grid for cooking purposes.
Having thus described my invention and the best means I am acquanted with
for carrying the same into practicall effect I declare that what I claim is
First. The manner in which the round bars are formed in the bottom part and
one portion of the flat bar being laid flat over the bottom as shown and described
in Figs. 1 & 2 in Drawing being formed with joints for the purpose set forth as
shewn & described in Figs. 3 & 4.
Secondly. Being made circular shape and sloted or perforated in the bottom part
as shown and described in Fig. 6.
Thirdly. The handle forming two of the bars and the feet being formed double
as shewn and described for the purpose set forth in Fig. 7.
Fourthly. As shown and described in Fig. 5.
