WILLIS C.-WARD, OF ORCHARD LAKE, MICHIGAN.
ANDIRON.
Application filed November 29, 1920. Serial No. 427,027.
vented certain new and useful Improvements in Andirons, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to andirons and has for its object the obtaining of a construction in which a series of logs may be held in vertical position adjacent to the back wall facilitate the feeding of new logs into the fire and further to obtain various advantages as hereinafter set forth.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing andiron when in position in the fireplace;
Fig. 2 is a view of the fireplace in vertical section and showing one of the andirons therein with logs mounted thereon.
Andirons as usually constructed are designed for the supporting of one or more logs or pieces of wood so as to separate the same from the hearth and to provide free access for the air, which supports combustion. A single log or piece of wood may be supported adjacent to the back wall of the fireplace, but where a pile of several pieces is placed upon the andirong there is a tendency for the upper pieces to separate from the rear wall and to act as a screen, pre venting the full radiation of heat. With my improved construction all of the wood'is' held to the rear wall so that the greater part of the flame is compelled to pass to the front without anything to obstruct the radiated heat.
As shown, my improved andiron is formed of a bent bar having a horizontal portion A for supporting the lowermost log above the hearth and an approximately vertical portion B for holding a series of logs against the rear wall. The portion A is supported by a foot portion C, preferably arranged at the rear end thereof while the portion B is held in position by a forwardly bent portion D connecting with a downwardly-extending portion E, terminating in a bifurcated foot portion F. By this arrangement there is no tendency for the vertical portion Bio bend outward when subjected to the heat of the fire, for the load resting upon the horizontal portion A will place the portion B in It is a further object to tension, while the outwardly-extending portlon D in combination with the down-turned portion E and foot F will hold the portion B 1n suspension. The portion D is also preferably inclined downward from front to rear to provide clearance for the placing of the logs on the fire and also affording a runway over which the logs may be fed to the rear wall of the fireplace. The portion B is also slightly inclined outwardly from top to bottom, thereby giving clearance for the dropplng of logs when the lower members are burned away.
The construction described has the advantage over constructions heretofore used, both of produclng a more pleasing appearance and of securing greater efficiency by the flemcoval of all obstruction to the radiated WVhat I claim as my invention is:
1. An andiron comprising a horizontal portion and a vertical portion extending from the front end thereof, and a forwardly extending inclined runway connected to the top of the vertical portion for directing the logs onto the horizontal portion and in rear of the vertical portion. 1 I
2. An andiron. comprising a horizontal portion and a vertical portion extending from the front end thereof, said vertical portion being of considerably greater length than the horizontal portion whereby a ver-- I 'tical series of logs may be supported on the horizontal portion and retained by the vertical portion against the rear wall of the fireplace, and an upwardly and forwardly inclined runway portion extending from the upper end of said vertical portion.
3. A11 andiron comprising a horizontal portion and a vertical portion extending from the front end thereof, said vertical portion being of considerably greater length than the horizontal portion whereby a vertical series of logs may be supported .on the horizontal portion and retained by the vertical portion against the rear wallfof the fireplace, and upwardly and forwardly inclined runway portion extending from the upper end of said vertical portion, and means for supporting the andiron whereby the horizontal portion thereof is disposed in spaced relation to the floor of the fireplace.
4. An andiron comprising a horizontal portion and a vertical portion extending from the front end thereof, said vertical portion being of considerably greater length than the horizontal portion whereby a vertical series of logs may he supported on the horizontal portion and retained by the vertical portion against the rear wall of the fireplace, the upper end of said vertical portion extending into a forwardly and upwardly inclined runway portion, and said runway portion extending into a clownwardly extending floor-engaging portion.
5. An andiron comprising a horizontal portion having a depending foot at its rear end, an upwardly extending portion, a forrecting the logs inward.
for supporting logs against the rear wall of the fireplace, a vertical floor-engaging portion disposed in front of and spaced from the first mentioned vertical portion, anda portion rigidly connected to the upper ends of said vertical portions.
7. An andiron comprising a bar portion having a depending foot at its rear end, an upwardly extending portion, a forwardly extending inclined portion, and a support therefor, said forwardly inclined portion constituting a support for said upwardly WILLIS C. WAR-D.
