We JOHN STANLEY WATSON, and HEDLEY STANLEY MOORWOOD of the Harleston
Iron Works, Harleston. Street, Sheffield, in the County of York, Iron Founders, do
hereby declare the nature of our Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN DOG GRATES,
FIRE PLACES AND STOVES FOR DOMESTIC USE AND APPLIANCES CONNECTED
THEREWITH, to be as follows:-
I
This Invention relates more particularly to Grates, Fire places and stoves for
domestic use, which partake of a moveable and portable or semi-portable character.
The class of grate which has hitherto possessed these characteristics so far as the
application to the domestic hearth is concerned, have been for the most part
confined to what is commonly known as a dog grate, which is a loose portable
grate in which the fire is burnt, and which stands upon the hearth detached from
the chimney breast and chimney, and the position of which can be altered at
pleasure, thus, such a grate can be brought forward on the hearth or moved back
into the recess or fire place.
One objection to this class of grate is the difficulty of conveying the smoke and
waste products of combustion into the flue of the chimney without having a very
large and spacious recess wherein the grate should stand.
The object of our Invention is to overcome this objection by constructing a
Grate, Fire place, or stove which shall combine some of the characteristics and
design of the old fashioned Dog grate with improvements and advantages of more
modern appliances.
We effect this object by constructing a Grate, Fire place, or stove which is a
combination of a dog grate and of what is commonly known as a Register or sham
Register stove, with an open hot air stove, similar to that known as the "Harleston
Stove," which is fully described in the Specification and Drawings by Thomas
Parkin Moorwood, in his Patent, Number 1082. of the 14th March A D, 1873, and
which has for its object the bringing of the fire grate further into the room, and
the combining of an open fire grate with an open hot air stove, by means of which
a better radiation of heat, and circulation of heated atinospheric air can be
obtained with a consequent economy in fuel.
"
Our improved Grate, Fire place or stove may be called a Canopied dog grate
and hot air Stove," the form and design of which, may, so far as the grate (or part

page_text: in which the fire is burned) is concerned, be the same or similar to any existing
dog grate, and the canopy which may vary in form and design may be attached to
the grate by a back only, or by sides only, or by both back and sides, and either
the Canopy or the back or the sides or all of them either separately or in con-
nection with each other, may, be constructed with air spaces or passages into which
the air either from within or from without the room in which it is used may be
circulated and heated.
The whole grate, canopy, air spaces, passages, and attachments may be so con-
structed as to be portable and moveable, so that it can be run on Wheels or Castors
or otherwise, on the hearth, into, or out of a chimney recess, or it may be used on
a hearth without any recess.
The fire place of this improved grate or stove may be connected with the flue or
the chimney by means of a Telescopic or sliding flue pipe through which the smoke
and waste products of combustion would be conducted into the flue or chimney,
so as to allow of the grate or stove being moved backwards or forwards on the
hearth.
In addition to the air spaces and passages already referred to in connection with
the moveable part of our improved grate or stove, other air spaces or passages may
be provided within the walls of the Chimney or room or otherwise.
These additional air spaces or passages may be arranged so as to be connected
with the air spaces or passages already referred to in the stove itself, similar
means being employed in making such connections as those already described for
conveying the smoke and waste products of combustion from the fire place of the
stove to the chimney, and with the same object, namely: To allow of the grate or
stove being moved backwards or forwards upon the hearth without interfering
with the currents of air which promote combustion and ventilation.
The air spaces or passages last referred to as being provided within the walls of
the chimney or room or otherwise, may be made with communications either with
the outer air, or with the interior of the room or both.
The heated air may be allowed to flow into the room or not as required through
. apertures or perforations in the front or sides or back of the grate or Canopy, such
flow of heated air being regulated by opening or closing the inlet or outlet passages
by valves or slides, or other similar equivalent contrivances.
In a like manner when the stove is not in use as in the summer time currents of
cold air may be admitted into the room.
For ordinary fuel such as Coal and Coke, our improved grate and stove may be
.made with bottom bars, or it may be made with a close or solid bottom similar to
the plan adopted in what is known as the "Slow Combustion Stove or Grate," or
it may be adapted for the combustion of liquid or gaseous fuel.
The essential feature of our Invention is the construction of a Canopied dog
grate and hot air stove combined which shall be of a portable or semi-portable
character, to be used as a domestic fire place for beating and ventilating
substantially as herein described.

We JOHN STANLEY WATSON, and HEDLEY STANLEY MOORWOOD, of the
Harleston Iron Works, Harleston Street Sheffield, in the County of York, Iron
Founders, do hereby declare the nature of our Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
DOG GRATES, FIRE PLACES AND STOVES FOR DOMESTIC USE AND APPLIANCES
CONNECTED THEREWITH," and in what manner the same is to be performed to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This Invention relates more particularly to Grates, Fire places and stoves for
domestic use, which partake of a moveable and portable or semi-portable character.
The class of grate which has hitherto possessed these characteristics so far as the
application to the domestic. hearth is concerned have been for the most part
confined to what is commonly known as a dog grate, which is a loose portable
grate in which the fuel is burnt, and which stands upon the hearth detached from.
the Chimney breast and Chimney, and the position of which can be altered at
pleasure, thus, such a grate can be brought forward on the hearth or moved back
into the recess or fire place.
One objection to this class of grate is the difficulty of conveying the smoke and.
waste products of combustion into the flue of the Chimney without having a very
large and spacious recess wherein the grate should stand.
The object of our Invention is to overcome this objection by constructing.
a Grate, Fire place, or stove which shall combine some of the characteristics and.
design of the old fashioned Dog grate with improvements and advantages of more
modern appliances.
We effect this object by constructing a Grate, Fire place, or stove which is a
combination of a dog grate and of what is commonly known as a Register or sham.
Register stove, with an open hot air stove similar to that known as the "Harleston

which has for its object the bringing of the fire grate further into the room, and
the combining of an open fire grate with an open hot air stove, by means of which
a better radiation of heat, and circulation of heated atmospheric air can be
obtained with a consequent economy in fuel. Our improved Grate, Fire place or

of which may, so far as the grate (or part in which the fuel is burned) is con-
cerned, be the same or similar to any existing dog grate, and the canopy which
may vary in form and design may be attached to the grate by a back only, or by
sides only, or by both back and sides, and either the Canopy or the back or the
sides or all of them either separately or in connection with each other, may be
constructed with air spaces or passages into which the air either from within or.
from without the room in which it is used may be circulated and heated.

ventilation.
The air spaces or passages last referred to as being provided within the walls of
the chimney or room or otherwise, may be made with communications either with
the outer air, or with the interior of the room or both.
The heated air may be allowed to flow into the room or not as required through

made with bottom bars, or it may be made with a close or solid bottom similar to
the plan adopted in what is known as the," Slow Combustion Stove or Grate,"
or it may be adapted for the combustion of liquid or gaseous fuel.
The essential feature of our Invention is the construction of a Canopied dog
grate and hot air stove combined which shall be of a portable or semi-portable
character, to be used as a domestic fire place for heating and ventilating substan-
tially as herein described.
The nature of our invention may be better understood on reference to the
accompanying two Sheets of Drawings which illustrate our Invention as applied
to a canopied Dog Grate and hot air stove combined constructed with both back
and sides.
Fig. 1 Sheet 1 is a front elevation.
Fig. 2 Sheet 1 is a side elevation.
Fig. 3 Sheet 2, is a vertical cross section and Fig. 4 is a plan also in section.
The same letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views on both
sheets of drawings
a, is the Grate in which the fuel is burnt.
b, is the open portion of the Grate or stove.
c, is the Telescopic or sliding flue pipe.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our Invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is,
(1.) The combination of a Canopied Dog Grate and Hot air stove of a portable
or semi-portable character to be used as a domestic fire place for heating and
Ventilating substantially as herein described and illustrated on the accompanying
two sheets of Drawings.
