CHARLES H. WOLCOTT, CHARLES O. GOODWYNE, JR., AND EARLY N. GOODWYNE, OF FORSYTH, GEORGIA.
FENDER.
To all 'whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CHARLES H. W'oL- Co'r'r, CHARLES O. Goonwvnn, J r., and EARLY N. GoonwYN-n, citizens of the United States, residing at Forsyth, in the county of Monroe, State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Fender, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has relation to fenders especially adapted to be used in conjunction with open fireplaces and grates and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts as hereinafter shown and described.
The object of the invention is to provide a fender of simple structure in the form of a fireplace attachment which when in position and extended in frontof the iire-place will form an effectual barrier to prevent articles such as clothing and so forth from accidentally passing over or upon the flames of a re in the tire-place or grate.
The fender is in the form of a lazy-tongs structure and includes a supporting bar having means for attachment to the hood of the frame of the fire-place. Said supporting bar is provided with a series of slots of peculiar disposition and conliguration which carry rivets forming pivots for the lazy-tongs bars constituting the bodyV portion of the fender and which co-act with the said rivets for automatically holding the lazy-tongs structure in elevated or collapsed condition. A bar is attached to the lower portion of the lazy-tongs structure and is provided with inwardly disposed extremities adapted to bear against the sides of the ireplaee frame and serve as means for holding the lower portion of the lazy tongs structure in proper position.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a iire place frame with the fender in extended position applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a front elevation of a portion of the said frame with the fender in collapsed position thereon. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the fender cut on the line 1-1 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an edge view of the bar located at the lower portion of the fender.
The fender is designed to be `used as an attachment for a fire place frame 1 having at its upper portion an outwardly disposed hood 2. The body portion of the fender is made up of a series of lazy-tongs levers or Specification of Letters Patent.
Application led December 6, 1909.

Serial No. 531,601.
bars riveted together at their points of intersection as shown and adapted to have relative pivotal movement as is usual in such structures.
A' supporting bar 4 is provided in the vicinity of each end with hook straps 5 adapted to receive the lower edge portion of the hood 2 and which are provided with set screws 6. The bar 4 is provided at a point intermediate its ends with a relatively short vertically disposed elongated slot 7 and at a portion between one end and the slot 7 with a relatively long horizontally disposed slotl 8. At the opposite side of the slot 7 the bar 4 is provided with a relatively long slot 9 which in turn is provided in its lower edge and in the vicinity of its outer end with a notch 10. The shank of the rivet 11 forming a portion of the lazy-tongs structure passes through the slot 7, the shank of the rivet 12 also forming a part of the said structure' passes through the slot 8 and the shank of the rivet 13 passes through the slot 9.
A bar 14 is supported at the lower edge of the lazy-tongs structure by means of a rivet passing` through the said structure and the said bar at a point intermediateV its ends andby rivets 16 passing through the said structure and located in horizontally disposed elongated slots 17 at the end portions of the said bar 14. The extremities 1S of the bar 14 are laterally disposed with relation to the said bar and are adapted to bear against the outer face of the sides of the tire- 'place frame 1 and serve as means for spacing the bar and the lazy-tongs structure from the back of the lire place or a grate located therein.
Thus it will be seen that when the fender is in extended position in front of the lireplace that it will etfectually ward the accidental admission of fabrics and the like over the back of the fire-place. Then it is desired that the fender should be collapsed for the purpose of attending to the tire in the same, the bar 14 is raised which in turn will swing the lazy-tongs bars or levers 3 to the close order position as shown in Fig. 2. As this is done the rivet-s 12 and 13 move toward theouter ends of the slots 8 and 9 respectively and then by permitting the rivet 13 to enter the notch 10 these parts will be held in collapsed position. lVhen it is desired to extend the fender the bar 14 is moved in an upward direction so that the rivet 13 passes above the notch 10 when thebar 14 may descend after the parts assume the position shown in Fig. l of the drawing. By reason of the fact that the elongated slot Tis vertically disposed the rivet 13 inay readily enter the notch 10 and may be readily removed from the saine. At those seasons of the year when fire is not needed the fender inay be detached from the frame l by loosening the set screws 6 carried by the strap hooks 5.
Having described the invention, what-we claim as new and desire to secure by. Letters Patent is A fender comprising a lazy-tongs structure, a supporting bar having at an intermediate point a vertically disposed slot receiving a rivet of the lazy-tongs structure, said bar having at the opposite sides ofthe said vertical slot horizontally disposed slots, one'of which is provided inits lower' edge with a notch, the said lazy-tongs struct-ure having rivets which lie in the said horizontal slots the rivet in the slot provided with the notch adapted to enter said notch to hold the lazy tongs structure in collapsed condition.
In testimony thatwe claim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto affixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
