m s A r UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIC FRANK BREHER, OF VADENA, MINNESOTA.

FIRE-BOWL FOR BLACKSMITHS FORGES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 421,901, dated February 25, 1890.

Application filed November 16, 1889. Serial No. 330,513. (No model.)

To all whom il /may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK BREHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at WVadena, in the county of Vadena and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fire-Bowls Used in ConnectionwithTuyere-Irons and I do declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention is a forgers fire-bowl, and is designed to be used in connection with tuyereirons, and is intended to be placed over the tuyere-irons in a blacksmiths forge. It keeps the fire together and in place, and prevents a great waste of coal that is caused by the clay breaking out around the tuyere-irons when a bowl of this kind is not used, such waste constantly increasing as the hole grows larger. In a forge when the bowl is made of clay the clay cracks and the fire spreads and loses its intensity. Further, in a clay forge in poking the fire the clay soon breaks off and the basin becomes too large and irregular. The object of'this bowl is to avoid these defects.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan view of the bowl. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the bowl. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the side slides. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of t-he'bowl with the slides removed. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bowl mounted on a tuyere-iron.

The bowl A is shaped somewhat like an ordinary wash-bowl, with an opening a in the to the ends and inner and outer faces of said slides, the other end reaching beyond the ends of said slides and fitting against the inner and outer faces of the bowl. These slides may be easily removed and replaced.

Extending from the outer face of the bowl are three or more j ibs 0, provided with perforations c.

This bowl may be used with the slides B in the sides for horseshoeing and other like work, but should be taken out for work in fv]hich large bars of iron are used and the This bowl is to be fastened down by riveting to the jibs on the sides fiat pieces of iron and filling around with clay until the clay is level with the top of the bowl.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The bowl A, having in the center of its bottom the opening a, and in its sides openings a, slides B, fitting into said openings at, and having the ears 1), adapted to hold said slides in place, and suitable jibs O, to fasten the said bowl down, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

' FRANK BREI-IER.
