84 Regent Street Rotherham Pattern maker do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The making of stove grates with canopies in such a manner that the canopy can be
drawn forward so as to project more over the fire-This we accomplish by making
the canopy revolve on centres placed below it on each side-When pushed quite back
the back portion of the canopy closes up the chimney-On the accompanying
drawings we show the canopy in three positions-namely pushed quite back drawn
partly forward & quite forward-We fix the canopy in any required position by
means of a rack, spring, or any other mechanical contrivance.

CLEMENT HAMIL PERROT Eastwood Lodge, Rotherham Ironfounder, ARTHUB
HABERSHON Ferham House, Rotherham Ironfounder, and JOHN CHRISTOPHER
RICHMOND, 84 Regent Street, Masbrough, Model Maker 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 :-
These improvements refer to stove grates constructed with moveable canopies of
such a shape that the ends form true sectors of a circle, the intervening curved
surface connecting these two ends forming the face of the canopy Of this circle
the centre lies at a point in each of the ends or wings of the canopy and at the
binder side of it, from which points the canopy is hinged and on which it can
move.
On the drawings left with the provisional specification we shew the canopy in three
positions, namely (1) Pushed quite up, in which position the upper part of the canopy
passing behind the front of the grate meets the back of it thereby closing the opening
into the chimney and thus accomplishing what is usually done by means of a register
door. (2) Drawn partly down, the usual position when the grate is being used and
when the products of combustion pass through the space formed between the upper
portion of the canopy and the back of the grate. (3) Drawn quite down in which
position the bottom of the canopy is about on a level with the pivots on which it
works, and the space into the chimney opened to its fullest extent.
We fix the canopy in any required position by means of a rack or spring attached
to the rigid portion of the grate and pressing upon or working into a suitably
arranged catch in the canopy, or vice-versa; that is, the rack or spring attached to the
canopy and working into or upon a suitable catch on the rigid portion of the grate.
We also arrange that the canopy can be lifted away from the grate, this we
accomplish by making the lower side of the hinge or fork (at the extremity of wings
of canopy) open, so that it can be lifted off the pivot on which it moves, and a
correspondingly sufficient amount of clearance between the top of canopy and the
fixed part of the grate under which the canopy moves, so as to allow the hinge or
fork to be lifted from off the pivot.
We adapt this moveable canopy to any description of back whether made in metal
or fire brick.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :
(1) The construction of stove grates with moveable canopies substantially as
described and represented by the Drawings left with the Provisional Specification.
(2) The making of moveable canopies to act as register doors substantially as
described.
(3) The making of stove grates with moveable canopies substantially as described
so that they can be removed if required.
