PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION:
An Improved Cinder Sifter or Separator, applicable for Use in
connection with Kitchen Ranges, Grates, and Stoves.
•
I, JAMES MOORE, of 78 Duncairn Street, Belfast in the County of Antrim,
Ireland, Importer and General Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
This invention has for its object an improved cinder saver and separator,
applicable for use on kitchen ranges and other grates and stoves in private houses
or elsewhere.
In carrying same into effect I form wire netting of suitable mesh, into the shape
of an open basket, bound with sheet iron or hoop iron, sheet brass or sheet copper,
or a basket formed of sheet iron with a perforated bottom, galvanized or plain.
The basket may be oblong, or with square ends, or of whatever shape may suit best
for the range, grate or stove, requiring it. This basket has on one side, two curved
hoop iron hooks, from the binding, thus allowing it to be hooked on a front fire
bar of the range, grate or stove, fitting so closely to the fire, as to allow it to
catch the smallest piece of coal, cinder or ashes that may fall therefrom, at same
time the ashes passing through the basket into the ash box or receiver and retaining
the coals and cinders in the basket.
This basket may be unhooked at any time with the greatest ease, its contents
returned into the fire without raising any dust. The cinder saver and separator
prevents the smallest particle of coal or cinder from falling upon the floor.
Dated this 17th day of October 1895.

JAMES MOORE 78 Duncairn Street Belfast Ireland Private Gentleman 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:-
In carrying same into effect, I form wire petting of suitable mesh into the shape
of an open basket, having a strong wire frame, or bound with sheet iron, sheet
brass, sheet copper, or other material, or a basket formed of perforated sheet iron,
sheet brass, sheet copper or other material, galvanized or plain. This basket may
be oblong with curved or square ends, or of whatever shape may suit best for the
range, grate or stove requiring it.
This basket has on one side, two curved iron hooks, from the frame, or binding,
thus allowing it to be hooked on a front fire bar, or other convenient part of the
range, grate, or stove, fitting so closely to the fire as to allow it to catch the
smallest piece of coal or cinder that may fall therefrom, at the same time the ashes
falling pass through the basket into the ash box or ash receiver.
