hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To lesson the space by inserting a smaller bar between the bars of fire ranges.
These smaller bars are held in position by a bracket which locks itself as it is
fit and stands up the sides of the fire range. There are projections from the
back of the bracket going between the bars of the fire range pierced with round
or oblong holes according to the class of range to be fit. The projection that
locks the bracket is metal going above and below the second space of the bars &
the bracket is fit on with a twist but the bars do away with the twist & the
thing is self-locked. There are two pegs accross two projections to hold brackets
straight. The stand is a projection from the face of the bracket.

Flat Irons and Cooking Purposes.
HUDSON HARTLEY, 3, School Street, Nelson, Lancs., Commission Agent, 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:-
The brackets fixed on each side of the fire range are made with four projec-
tions & each projection has a hole through it so as to hold a steel or iron bar
fitting between the bars of the fire range in a parellel position & lessons the space
of the bars one half. When placed on the range it locks itself by the second
projection the front being longer than the space of the bars into which it is fit &
is got into place by a twist. Both being put on in the centre of the range & the
bars pushed through the brackets are then thrust one on each side of the fire
range and the thing is fit. So that it is put on in parts and. must be removed
similarly because the bars do away with the twist when fit. The brackets vary
in size & kind of holes according to the kind of range to fit and are made of
Wrought, cast or mallable iron. On the back of the bracket is a projection with
an oblong hole so as to put a straight bar across the range to hold flat irons or
a square bar with horse shoe shape in centre to hold a plate or dish for cooking
purposes.
