SPECIFICATION.
Improved Device to be Applied to Domestic Fire-ranges for
Economizing Fuel and Retaining Heat.
I, JOHN INGHAM of 39, St. John's Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Coke Burner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a simple device to be applied to domestic fire-ranges
for economizing fuel, and preventing excessive heat being distributed or diffused
into the room.
To accomplish the object of my invention, I cut or form a plate of any suitable
metal, and either plain or ornamental as desired, of the requied size and shape to
cover the fire-bais in front of the fire-range. The plate may be secured in
position by being curved oi bent at the top, so as to lap over the top fire-bar, or
it may have any other means of fastening. For bandiness, it is also provided with
a handle.
By this meaus, the heat, which would be otherwise diffused into the room, 18
confined within the fire-space, or else makes its exit up the chimney.

Improved Device to be Applied to Domestic Fire-ranges for
Economizing Fuel and Retaining Heat.
I, JOHN INGHAM of 39, St. John's Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster,
Coke Burner, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner
the saine is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement.―
This invention consists of a simplo device to be applied to domestic fire-ranges
for economizing fuel, and preventing excessive heat being distributed or diffused
into the room
To accomplish the object of my invention, I cut or form a plate of any suitable
metal, and either plain or ornamental as desired, of the required size and shape to
cover the fire bars in front of the fire-range. The plate may be secured in
position by bong cuived or bent at the top, so as to lap over the top fire bar, or
it may have any other means of fastening. For handiuess, it is also provided with
a handle.
By this means, the heat, which would be otherwise diffused into the room, 18
confined within the fire-space, or else makes its oxit up the chimney.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 is a front and Fig. 2 a side elevation of my improved device for economizing
fuol and retaining lieat.
A is the metal plate cut to the required shape to cover the fire bars in front of
the fire-range, and bent or curved at the top as at D, so as to fit on or hang from

page_text: the topmost bar. It is also provided with a handle B fixed by rivets C, whereby
the coal saver may be readily put in position, or taken away when not required
By placing my coal saver in frout of the fire-range as described, the draught is
much diminished, the heat is confined within the fire-space, and consequently the
fuel in the grate will burn by slow combustion. It will be at once evident that my
invention is very useful for people who go to the mill and rake their fires, or in
hot weather, when the fire is required to be kept in, but nevertheless to give out
as little heat as is compatible with the carrying out of the ordinary domestic
requirements.
There may be any other means of fastening to the fire-bais, and the plate may
be either plain or ornamental as desired.
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.
The improved device for economizing fuel and retaining beat, substantially as
described and illustrated.
