TRUY IDIONAL DECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Attaching a Fire Iron Rest or Dog to a
Fender.
I WILLIAM EAVES of 233 St. Vincent Street Ladywood Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Machinist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
The chief object of this invention is to construct a Firo Iron Rest or dog in such
a manner that it does not obstruct the hearth from view, also to construct the said
Rest or Dog so that the amount of space in packing for transit is minimised also to
produce a superior and more ornamental article at a reduced cost.
•
This I do as follows.
The rest or dog is hinged to the support, bar bail, or rail of the fonder in such a
manner that it may be swung at right angles to the front of the fender for the purposo
of receiving the fire irons and kept in such position by a suitable stop against the
support rod, bail, bar or rail of the fender.
When required for packing the Rest or Dog is swung parallel to the front bar of
the fender for the purpose of economising the space.
Thus it will be perceived that the Rest or Dog forms a crane like bracket hinged
to the fender preferably having also a hinged abutment which abuts against the
support of the fender and acts as a buttress for the Rest or Dog above.
The hinging is chiefly intended to economise space in transit.
In some cases instead of hinging the said rest or dog may be made for scrowing
on and off the fender.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Attaching a Fire Iron Rest or Dog to a
Fender.
I WILLIAM EAVES of 233 St. Vincent Street Ladywood Birmingham in the County
of Warwick Machinist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
The chief object of this invention is to construct a Fire Iron Rest or Dog in such
a manner that it does not obstruct the hearth from view, also to construct the said
rest or dog so that the amount of space in packing for transit is minimised also to
produce a superior and more ornamental article at a reduced cost.
This I accomplish as hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawings.
Fig. 1 illustrates a hinged rest or dog.
Fig. 2 illustrates a rest or dog for screwing on to the fender.
Fig. 3 illustrates a rest or dog fixed by an adjustable slide operated by a screw.
Fig. 4 illustrates a rest or dog for hanging on by a hook preferably a spring
hook.
The rest or dog is hinged to the support, bar, bail, or rail of the fender in such a
manner that it may be, swung at right angles to the front of the fender, for the
purpose of receiving the fire irons and kept in such position by a suitable stop against
the support rod bail, bar or rail of the fender.
At A fig. 1 the rest or dog is shewn swung out in position for sustaining the
fire irons, and at B fig. 1 it is shewn swung parallel to the front of the fender for
the purpose of economising space for packing &c.

page_text: The brace or bracket C may be bent for the purpose of allowing it to clear
the rail.
Thus it will be perceived that the rest or dog forms a crane like bracket hinged to
the fender preferably having also a hinged abutment, which abuts against the support
of the fender and acts as a buttress or brace for the rest or dog above; there is a
suitable projection or stop for preventing the bracket being pushed out too far.
The hinging is chiefly intended to economise space in transit.
In some cases instead of hinging, the said rest or dog may be made for screwing
on and off the fender or. it may be made with a suitable, hook pin or clip for
clipping the rail or other part of the fender for the purpose of economising space in
transit.
Fig. 4 shews the rest or dog made with a suitable hook or clip for hooking on to
the rail and having its abutment at F.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. A fire iron rest or dog bracketed out from the fender and jointed or hinged as
substantially set forth and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. A fire iron rest or dog made in such a manner that it may be easily
attached or detached from the pillar, bar, bail or rail of the fender as substantially
set forth.
3. A fire iron rest or dog made as substantially set forth in this specification
and illustrated by the accompanying drawings or by any mere modification of
the same.
