Improvements in Attachment of Fire Bars to Register and other
Grates.
I, HENRY ELLIOTT HOOLE of Green Lane Works Sheffield in the County of York,
Stove Grate and Fender Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
In lieu of the ordinary attachment of the bars to the body of Grate by means
of Wrought or Cast Iron Hooks fastened to the stands of Bars, I propose by means
of pins or projecting lugs cast on the bars and a corresponding space left in the side
cheeks or bottom bar to enable them to be atiached without any further additions
thereto in the shape of fittings-Such projections to the bars may be in the form of
a Hook or with square top with a Wrought or Cast Iron pin depending therefrom
or it may be by a Wedge shaped or dovetailed. lug cast in the Standard of bars
and a corresponding slide or attachment cast in the body of Check or Hatchet of
Grate. What I claim is-The making an attachment for fire Bars to Grate in the
Casting only, without the addition of Hooks or any other fittings.

I. HENRY ELLIOTT HOOLE, Green Lane Works Sheffield in the County of York
Stove Grate Manufacturer 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 :-
My Invention which relates to Improvements in Attachment of Fire Bars to
Register and other Grates relates more particularly to the class of Grates from which
the Bars are made to lift off for cleaning or repairs or any other purpose.
In the ordinary mode of attachment it is accomplished by means of Hooks screwed
into the Bars or by being made to drop into a slot prepared by Flanges in the
Cheek.
1 propose by means of modifications of the Castings only to dispense with these
various modes of fitting as more particularly set forth in the accompanying Drawings.
In the Drawings Fig. 1 shows the Arrangement by Hook marked A and pin
marked B cast on to and forming part of the Bars with the corresponding adjustment
of side Check of Grate marked C and D, the lip marked E being for the attachment
of lift off pan or pan front.
Figure 2 shows the arrangement by means of a pin marked A preferably of wrought
Iron cast into and forming part of Bars with a corresponding socket marked B left in
the projecting part of Cheek with the depending projection at foot marked C and the
space left for its reception in Cheek of Grate marked D. The lip E being for the
reception of ashes pan or pan front.
Figure 3 shows the Arrangement by means of a wedge or Dove tail joint cast on
the Bars and marked A and the depending pin at foot marked with the corresponding
spaces cast in side of cheek and marked B and D respectively.
Having now particularly described the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is-
The making of an attachment for Fire Bars to Grates, Register or otherwise in the
Castings only without the addition of Hooks, Screws or any other fittings.
Dated this Fourteenth day of November 1887.
