I ARTHUR FOLEY of 41 Fisherton Street Salisbury in the County of Wilts
Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE ARRANGEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEPTACLES FOR
COAL OR OTHER FUEL COMBINED WITH FENDERS," to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to improvements in the arrangement construction and
application of receptacles for coal or other fuel combined with fenders, for affording
convenience in supplying coal or other fuel to grates or fire places.
For this purpose the fender of a fire place may be formed with receptacles a a
at each end for holding coal or other fuel or the fender may be so formed that
receptacles for fuel may be attached thereto or combined therewith substantially as
represented by the Drawing hereto annexed.
The bar or front of the fender may be fixed or its ends may be arranged to slide
into recesses in the front ends of the fuel receptacles a a to adjust their position to
fire places of various widths.
Or the front of a fender may be formed as a long box for holding fuel or for
having receptacles placed therein for holding fuel and having a lid or cover suitably
formed and ornamented to resemble an ordinary fender-stool.

Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE ARRANGEMENT CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEPTACLES FOR
COAL OR OTHER FUEL COMBINED WITH FENDERS" 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 to improvements in the arrangement construction and
application of receptacles for coal or other fuel combined with fenders for affording
convenience in supplying coal or other fuel to grates or fire places.
For this purpose the fender of a fire place may be formed with receptacles at
each end for holding coal or other fuel or the fender may be so formed that
receptacles for fuel may be attached thereto or combined therewith substantially as
represented or illustrated by the Drawings hereto annexed.
In carrying my Invention into practice I introduce into the sides or bottom of a
fender or fender stool cupboards, boxes, drawers, slides or other convenient forms,
cavities or hollow spaces into which I fit receptacles a a for coal or other fuel as
represented by Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Drawings, which receptacles may either
be fixed or so arranged as to slide in and out or to move to and fro on hinges open
sideways fall over or be otherwise conveniently arranged in order that fuel may be
readily introduced into and withdrawn from such receptacles or that they may be
removed for filling.
I also when required for the greater and more convenient storage of fuel than
could be otherwise obtained raise the height of the fender as in Figures 1 and 4
and fit receptacles in accordance with my Invention into the additional space
thus obtained padding the top and thus obtaining the convenience of a fender
stool as shewn by Figure 2 or surmounting such receptacles when desirable by
a cupboard shelf spindle gallery, or other suitable arrangement partially covering
the jambs of chimney piece as shewn in Figure 4.
The front bar of fender may be so arranged as to slide in and out of recesses in
the front ends of the coal receptacles thus enabling such fenders to be adapted to
fireplaces of various widths.
These receptacles may be enclosed by a door flap slide drawer, revolving shutter
or other suitable cover to which it is fixed hinged or otherwise appended as may
be required in accordance with the foregoing methods of application.
Fenders constructed in accordance with my Invention may be made either in
metal wood stone or any other suitable material or composition or in any
combination of materials whether manufactured in separate pieces or cast in one
piece or fitted to existing fenders or fender stools and in whatever manner fixed or
let into hearth chimney breast or jamb.
.Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is,-
First. The introduction of receptacles a a for coal or other fuel into fenders and
the improved useful and combined article resulting therefrom as above described
and illustrated by Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the accompanying Drawings.

page_text: Second. The raising of the fender substantially as described and illustrated for
the purpose of introducing larger or more convenient receptacles a a for fuel than
could be otherwise obtained
