COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Dog Ended Fenders.
I, FRANCIS CRISP of 196, Summer Lane, in the City of Birmingham, Brass-
founder 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 and with reference to the accompanying Drawings in
which similar letters on the several Figures indicate similar parts.
The object and principle of my present Invention is to provide improved means
for supporting and strengthening the Dog Ends of Fenders known as Dog Ended
Fenders Composed wholly or in part of metal and to effect my purpose I form the
scroll or bracket ends of the Dogs so that they are connected directly to the
supports or the spindles or the scrolls which may consist of metal porcelain or
other material and which when of metal are stamped or cast, the front supports
and spindles, carry the front rail supported from the base of the fender.
In Figure 1 an arrangement is shewn whereby the scroll acket ends A A' cany-
ing the cross rail B of the Dog are directly connected to the supports C of the
fender rails D ])' carried from the base E E₁ it will be observed that the Dog
is practically the full width of the fender End so that the front scroll bracket A
is just above the front rail D thus providing additional width for the fire irons to
rest upon whilst greatly increased strength is afforded to the support of the Dog.
In Figure 2 a modification of the arrangement is shewn though the principie
is the same.
In this case the scroll bracket ends A A are curved forwardly from
the end base E' and A is connected to aud supported by the front support C of
the fender rail D.
Figure 3 shews a variation of this arrangement the scroll bracket ends A A¹
are carried from the End base E' in manner shewn and supported by the upright C
es before described.
In Figure 4 is shewn another arrangement, in this case a new departure is
made in the formation and termination of the fender End for my purpose I
construct the fender End base E by bringing the termination of same round as
seen at E by this means a better finish is given to that part and which also
provides a base for the bracket A' in other respects the means for carrying and
supporting the Dogs will be practically the same as already described, the front
bracket A being a continuation of the support C which with the scrolls C and
spindles support the front rail D. In Figure 5 another Design of scroll
ends A A' of the Dogs is shewn, in this case the scrolls are connected to the
spindles C carried from the end base E' and also connected to the support C of
front rail D.
Figure 6 is a further modification of my Invention whereby the fire iron rest B
is supported in its centre from the base E' by a standard F the rest B has un
arm integral with or connected to said rest which is also supported at the far
side by a scroll bracket A' as also at the front in the latter case the scroll A is
in connection with the support C.
Any suitable means may be employed for attaching the sorolls or brackets of

page_text: the Dogs to the supports spindles or scrolls for carrying the same-by brazing
or screwing, etc.
By the above described means for constructing fenders the Dogs or Rests not
only form an integral part of the Fender but combined support and strength
is given and greatly increased by utilizing the supports or the spindles or scrolls
that carry the front rail, for the purpose also of supporting the brackets or scroll
ends of the said Dogs or Rests
Other modificatious for carrying my Invention into practical effect may be
employed whilst retaining the essential features of the same namely, the Connec-
tion of the brackets or scroll ends of the Dogs directly with the metal or other
supports spindles or scrolls carrying, the front rail or top member or front
ornamental work of the fender, but having now particularly described and ascer-
tained the object and nature of my said Invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed.
I declare that what I claim.is:
:
!!
Firstly In the manufacture of Fenders known as Dog Ended Fenders
forming the brackets or scrolls A carrying the end rail B of said Dogs so that
they are connected to aud carried by the supports C as described and illustrated
in Figure 1 of the Drawings.

Secondly In Fenders. forming the brackets or serolls AA of the Dog Ends
and supporting same from the supports in combination as described and
illustrated in Figures. 2, 3, and 5 of the accompanying Drawings..
Thirdly: In the manufacture of Dog Ended, Fenders forming the end, base of
same with a rounded or other shaped termination and forming, the brackets
or scrolls A A of the Dogs by supporting same from the supports C or spindles
the front support carrying the rail or top member D of the fender described and
illustrated with reference to. Figure 4 of the Drawings...
Fourthly In Fenders, forming the Dog Ends of same with a central
support for the fine iron rest and connecting the end, scrolls or brackets A
to the support C of the front rail or top member D as described and illustrated in
Figure 6 of the annexed Drawings..
