PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cooking Utensil.
We HUGH MCCLELLAND and ERNEST MCLELLAND of 59 Cambridge Street
Birmingham in the County of Warwick Merchants and Thomas EDWARD BASSETT
of 146 Irving Street in the same Town, Tin Plate Worker, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This Invention consists in formning a cooking and heating utensil of any suitable
metal in two or more parts for the purpose of heating articles of food quickly. We
form a stand or under portion containing a lamp this portion we term the stove
the lamp may be a fixture or not as desired methylated spirit or oil or other suitable
incans being used for heating purposes. Over the lamp the metal saucepan kettle
or cooking vessel is placed fitting firmly into the stand or upper portion of the
stove.
In order that the cooking vessel may be kept at a suitable distance from the flame,
we run projections or beads round the upper portion of the stand on its inner side
and corresponding beads round the outside of the upper portion of the cooking vessel
so that the heads or projections will obtain a bearing one in the other.
An opening is made in the front or side of the stand or stove in order to gain
access to the lamp for lighting purposes or otherwise. Both the stand and the
cooking utensil are fitted with suitable handles
We can when desired use a third or intermediate chamber or water pan which fits
into the stand in the same way as before described in regard to the cooking vessel the
latter in this case fitting into the water pan and having similar beads or projections
for support instead of being in direct contact with the flame.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cooking Utensil.
We HUGH MCCLELLAND and ERNEST MCCLELLAND of 59, Cambridge Street
Birmingham in the county of Warwick Merchants and THOMAS EDWARD BASSETT
of 146 Irving Street Birmingham in the county of Warwick aforesaid Tin Plate
Worker do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
This invention consists in forming a cooking and heating utensil of any suitable
metal in two or more parts for the purpose of heating articles of food quickly.
Referring to the Drawings hereunto annexed and to the letters and figures marked
thereon.
Figs. 1. 2. and 3 are views of the cooking utensil and stand & stove.
We form by means of suitable tools the stand or under portion A containing a
lamp B this portion we term the stove. The lamp may be a fixture or not as desired,
Methylated spirit or oil or other suitable product being used for the purpose of
heating.
Over the lamp the saucepan, kettle, or cooking utensil C. is placed, fitting firmly
into the stand or upper portion of the stove as at D Fig. 3.
In order to support the cooking vessel C and that the same may be kept at a
suitable distance from the flame, we run a projection or bead E round the top of the

page_text: stand and a corresponding bead round the outside of the cooking utensil at E' so
that the beads or projections will obtain a bearing the one on the other.
Or instead of running the bead in either case entirely round the cooking utensil
and stand we may prefer to use ears or snugs to support the cooking utensil.
An opening F is made in the front or side of the stand or stove A in order to gain
access to the lamp B for lighting purposes or otherwise.
Both the stand and the cooking utensil are fitted with suitable handles H. H'.
We can when desired adapt an intermediate chamber or water pan which will fit
into the stand in the same way as before described in regard to the cooking utensil
the latter in this case fitting into the water pan and having similar beads or projections
for support in the same way instead of the cooking utensil being in direct contact
with the flame.
We wish it to be understood that we do not confine ourselves to the precise manner
above described in which our improvements are effected as we may vary the arrange-
ment somewhat when required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim 1s
The improvements in cooking utensils substantially as herein set forth and
described.
