Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 6736. Green, J., and Green & Co., W. March 17. Air, supplying for combustion; grates. - Kitchen ranges or other stoves having rear airsupply flues B are fitted with movable grates to provide an open fire when the hot-plate K is pushed back and the doors L, M, N are opened without materially adding to the fuel space. The grate C slopes downwards from the front to central pivots D and is then horizontal or slopes upwards. The boiler A has a cylindrical surface having an axis passing through the pivots D. A link E connects the grate with a lever H, projecting through a slot in the grate front, by means of which it may be lowered as shown in broken lines. A rack and detent may hold the lever H in various positions, and a casing P may be provided, having a slot only sufficiently large for the passage of the link E, so that admission of air by the slot in the front is prevented. The lever H may be arranged above the grate. A fire-brick, perforated or otherwise, may be incorporated in the central part of the grate, and the rear part Q of the grate may be composed of, or carry, an alternative or additional firebrick. In a modification, as shown in Fig. 2, the front part or dead-plate R is fixed, and the rear part of the grate has lugs S engaging guides T so that it may be moved to the position shown in broken lines C' or intermediately. By lifting the front lugs S over the front ends of the guides T, the grate may be tipped into the position C' for cleaning purposes. The parts R, C may be in one piece.
