JOI-IN II. IIAVECOTTE, OF NAVASOTA, TEXAS.
FIRE-SCREEN'.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 588,146, dated August 17, l 89'7.
Application led J'une 1S, 1896.
Totll whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN H. HAvEco'rTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Navasota, in the county of Grimes and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Screens; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to fire-screens.
`)Iy object is to provide alight,simple,cheap, and durable lire-screen for open fireplaces which, while being ornamental, will more satisfactorily prevent the re from entering the room.
Having this object in View, my invention consists of a fire-screen of novel and peculiar construction, as will appear more fully hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved fire-screen Fig. 2, an end elevation; Fig. 3, a sectional end view; Fig. 4, a rear perspective view, and Fig. 5 a view showing the screen in use.
The base 1 and sides 2 are preferably constructed of a single piece of metal, the base being of somewhat greater length than the replace, while the ends are triangular in shape, being broader at the base and narrowing to the apex at the top. Each end is provided with a ange 3, which rests against the mantel-board when the screen is in position.
It willbe observed that the rear portion ofV the base, or that part which is nearest the fire, is bent into an upwardly extending guard-flange 4, which will successfully prevent the fire from creeping out and into the screen. This flange lies in substantially the saine plane as flanges 3 and constitutes an important part of the present invention. The front of the base is bent-into a flange 5.
The numeral G designates a piece of wirenetting of fine mesh, and it extends across the fire-screen from end to end and from top to bottom thereof. At each end of the screen there is located a strip 7, which has a narrow iiange S, which is bent over the front edge of the end and firmly grips the wire-netting be- Serial No. 595,990. (No model.)
tween it andsaid end. This strip is detachably secured to the end'by rivets or screws 9. At the bottom of the screen there is another strip 10, which is preferably provided with a bent lower edge 11, and the lower edge of the wire-nettin g is held between this strip and flange 5 of the base, suitable fasteningscrews 12 being employed, so that the strip can be removed when desirable. At the top of the screen there are twoV strips 13 and 14, respectively. Strip le is preferably provided with a rear over-hanging ledge 15, and the ends of this ledge are bent into broad connecting-pieces 1G and 17, which are securely connected to the ends 2 by fastening devices 18. Strip 13 has a lower bent edge 19 and an upwardly-bentlip 20. (See Fig. 3.) The upper edge of the wire-netting is located between lip 2O and the bodyportion of the strip 13, while suitable detachable fastening devices 21 connect strip 13 to strip let, so that the netting is firmly held in position. A suitable handle 22 is connected to strip 13, so that the screen can be easily manipulated. Connected to each end of the fire-screen is a loop 23. A hook 24 has an eye 25 in engagement with said loop, while the bent or hooked end 26 is adapted for engagement with an eye 27, projecting from the mantel-board.
My improved fire-screen has its base rest ing on the hearth when the screen is in use and its side flanges 3 3 bearing against the fireplace. It will thus be seen that when in this position the guard-flange 4, being of sufficient height, prevents the fire from having access to the interior of the screen.
After continued use the wire-netting will invariably burn out; hence the advantage of employing the movable strips just described. W'hen the netting has become burned out, the strips should be removed and a new piece of netting substituted. The guard flange or ledge at the rear of the base will successfully prevent the re entering the screen, so that the life of the latter is lengthened. y Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The herein-described fire-screen compris- In testimony whereof I have signed this ing a base-adapted to rest on the hearth and specieation in .the presence of two subscribhaving an upwardly-extending guard-flange located directly adjacent the re and adapted ing' Witnesses. Y
to prevent the entrance of coals onto the base, JOHN H. HAVECOTTE. 5 end pieces arising from said base, and a front- Vtnesses:
of Wire-netting which is connected to the front edge of the base and to the end pieces.
