Complete Specification Left, 5th Nov., 1895-Accepted, 1st Feb., 1896
We, FREDERICK WILLIAM DYE, and JOHN WELLS, both of 176 Regent
Street, London, W. Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in cooking ovens and refers particularly
to such constructions of ovens as have glazed doors for the purpose of enabling
the progress of the cooking to be observed without necessitating the constant open-
ing of the oven doors. The many advantages possessed by ovens of this particular
construction are considerably militated against by reason of the frequent cracking
or breaking of the glass and to obviate this inconvenience is the object of this our
present invention in accordance with which we, having found it necessary to use a
glass which has sufficient heat resisting qualities, employ for the purpose what
is commonly known as toughened glass." The heat resisting quality is obtained
by the hardening or toughening process, and the glass may have, when desired,
wire embedded therein, and the panes may then be used either as single or double
panes or in sections as may be found most useful for wear and tear.
Dated this 6th day of February 1895.

This heat resisting quality we obtain by the "hardening
and we may when so desired form the transparent panes of toughened or "hard
glass with wire embedded therein, and the panes may then be used either as single
or double panes or in sections as may be found most useful for wear and tear.
The toughened or hard glass which we prefer to employ is that
