J JOHN GARDNER of 185 Trongate Glasgow in the County of Lanark
Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
It relates to cooking ranges and heating apparatuses and has for its objects
1st. The economical embellishment of the recesses in which Cooking ranges
Heating Stoves and such like apparatuses are placed, and
2nd. The economical embellishment of Heating and Cooking apparatuses.
I attain these objects by means of the following mechanisın.
or
In carrying out my invention I cover the surfaces of the "cove," recess
chimney nook" in which a cooking range, "Dog Grate" Hot air or American
Stove (or any other such like heating apparatus) is placed which are visible when
the apparatus is in the recess with metal plates coated with porcelain enamell.
Cooking ranges are sometimes made with a low metal flange called a "skirting"
or "plinth" at the back and ends of the hob and when the range is fitted in the
cove or recess the brickwork is visible above this skirting. Other cooking ranges are
made with "Cove plates" at the back and ends of the hob which completely cover
and hide from view the offensive & rough brickwork.
In carrying out my invention I furnish my cooking ranges with plates coated with
washable and prettily coloured porcelain enamell for the purpose of hiding the
offensive brickwork.
"Dog Grates," Hot Air Stoves, American Stoves, Gas and Steam heating
apparatuses, Coil Cases etcetera are placed in recesses, coves or chimney nooks which
are covered with costly tiles for reflecting and embellishing purposes and in carrying.
out my invention I cover the walls of such recesses with metal plates coated with
porcelain enamell.
&
Cooking ranges are frequently embellished in the coves Cove plate panels and
skirting panels with China and Terra-cotta tiles and in carrying out my invention I
furnish my cooking ranges with thin metal plates coated with porcelain enamell as

page_text: a cheaper means of embellishment than china and other tiles. I also furnish my
cooking ranges with doors panels and other mechanical parts embellished with
porcelain enamell.
Combined cooking and heating stoves and heating apparatuses which are not
generally intended for cooking purposes are frequently embellished with China and
Terra Cotta Tiles and japanned panels and in carrying out my invention I furnish
such apparatuses with plain, solid, ornamental or perforated panels composed of
metal plates covered with porcelain enamell, and I sometimes construct such
apparatuses with porcelain enamelled plates which are not of the nature of panels
but which are combined structural and embellishing plates.

Improvements in Connection with Cooking and Heating Stoves and
such like Apparatuses.
I, JOHN GARDNER of 185 Trongate Glasgow in the County of Lanark
Ironmonger, 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 :-
It relates to cooking ranges and heating apparatuses and has for its objects:
1st. The economical embellishment of the recesses in which cooking ranges,
Heating Stoves and such like apparatuses are placed, and 2nd the economical
embellishment of Heating and Cooking apparatuses.

or
In carrying out my invention I cover those surfaces of the "cove," recess
chimney nook" in which a cooking range, "Dog Grate," Hot Air or American
Stove (or any other such like heating apparatus) is placed, which are visible when
such apparatus is in the recess, with metal plates coated with porcelain
enamell.
Cooking ranges are sometimes made with a low metal flange called a skirting "
or "plinth" fitted at the back and ends of the hob and when the range is placed in
its cove or recess the brickwork is visible above this skirting. Other cooking
ranges are made with "Cove plates at the back and ends of the hob which
completely cover and hide from view the offensive & rough brickwork or
masonry.
"
In carrying out my invention I furnish my cooking ranges with plates coated
with washable (and prettily coloured) porcelain enamell for the purpose of hiding
the offensive brickwork.
"

Dog Grates," Hot Air Stoves, American Stoves, Gas & steam heating
apparatuses, "Coil Cases," etcetera are placed in recesses, coves or "chimney
nooks" which are sometimes covered with costly tiles for embellishing and radiating
purposes and in carrying out my invention I cover the walls of such recesses with
metal plates coated with porcelain enamell.
Cooking Ranges are frequently embellished in the coves Cove plate panels and
skirting panels with china and Terra-cotta tiles and in carrying out my invention I
furnish my cooking ranges with thin metal plates coated with porcelain enamell as
a cheaper means of embellishment than china and other tiles. I also furnish my
cooking ranges with doors, panels and other mechanical parts embellished with
porcelain enamell.
Combined cooking and heating stoves and heating apparatuses which are not
generally intended for cooking purposes are frequently embellished with china and
Terra Cotta Tiles and japanned panels and in carrying out my invention I furnish
such apparatuses with plain, solid, ornamental or perforated panels composed of
metal plates covered with porcelain enamell, and 1 sometimes construct such
apparatuses with porcelain emalled plates which are not of the nature of panels but
which are combined structural and embellishing plates.

page_text: I am aware that porcelain enamelled metal name plates are frequently attached to
apparatuses such as herein referred to, also that porcelain enamelled metal signs are
attached to the inner and outer surfaces of walls and tenements and that metal
plates coated with porcelain enamell are sometimes used to cover portions of the
inside walls of urinals, warehouses, stables, shops and other premises, but I have never
known porcelain enamelled metal plates to be employed for embellishing purposes in
connection with Heating and Cooking apparatuses and the recesses in which they are
usually placed, after the manner herein described.
It will therefore he understood that I do not claim as my invention, broadly, the
use of enamelled metal plates for covering walls.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is,
23
First, the combination with a Cooking range of one or more metal "Cove plates
coated with porcelain enamell all substantially as herein described, and for the
purposes specified.
Second, the combination with a cooking range (or stove) of one or more panels,
doors or other plates (except advertising labels) coated with porcelain enamell all
substantially as herein described and for the purposes specified.
Third, the combination with a stove, "Coil Case," or other Heating apparatus of
metal plates, coated with porcelain enamell, all substantially as herein described and
for the purposes specified."
Fourth, the combination, with the interior of the "Cove," _ recess or "chimney
nook," which is used for the reception of a Cooking range or Heating apparatus, of
metal plates coated with porcelain enamell, whether the said plates are attached to the
apparatus only, to the apparatus and the wall or only to the wall, all substantially as
herein described and for the purposes specified.
