COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Toaster and Grid.
We, JAMES DICKSON, of 48, Grays Inn Road, in the county of London, Manu-
facturer of Wire goods, and ROBERT GEORGE SHAPCOTT, of 48, Grays Inn Road
aforesaid, Foreman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what

Our invention relates to an improved toaster and grid.
In carrying out our invention, we provide a frame of iron or other suitable material
(hereinafter termed the fixed frame) having hooks or other devices to enable it to be
attached to any firo-grate or stove-front, and upon this fixed frame is a moveable tray
to catch all gravy or fat.
Upon the fixed frame is also mounted a sliding frame which can be moved to
and fro at will on the fixed frame, and secured to this sliding frame is a standard on
which the grid or holder revolves, the grid being provided on one side with eyes
fitting onto the standard.
The grid or holder is made of wire and the parts or sides are hinged or otherwise
so connected that they may be separated to place anything between them. A catch
is provided which fastens the two sides together, at any required distance apart.
To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe how it can be
carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which
Figure 1 is a plan view of our combined toaster and grid, and
Figures 2 and 3 are an end and side view respectively of the same.
Similar reference letters indicate similar parts throughout the drawing.
a is the fixed frame formed of iron wire, and b, bare the hooks thereon to enable
it to be attached to any fire-grate or stove-front. c is the moveable tray attached
to the frame a and serving to catch the gravy or fat from the substance being toasted

or grilled, the said tray being adapted to be moved on the frame
a, eyes being
formed on it for that purpose. d is the sliding frame which is provided with eyes
so as to be capable of adjustment relatively to the fire by sliding to and fro on the
frame a. d is a projection or handle formed upon the framed for moving the
lattor. e is the standard on the sliding frame d, and is the grid which is capable
of revolving upon the said standard, g, being the eyes provided on the said grid for
flint purpose.
The holder, which is advantageously formed of wire, as shown, consists of two
parts or sides', ƒ' which are hinged together at their lower edges in order to allow
of their being separated so as to place the substance to he toasted or grilled between
them. is the catch by means of which the sides are fastened together, the said
catch being pivotted to one edge of one of the sides and provided with projections 1,
either of which can pass behind the other side. By this construction of catch the
distance apart of the two sides can be varied to suit different thicknesses of
substance to be cooked.
The dotted lines in Figure 3 represent the farthest position from the fire of the
sliding frame and grid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be porformed wo declare that what wo
claim is ----
(1.) A toaster and grid the holder of which is adapted to rotate so that both sides
can be turned to the fire, substantially as described.
(2.) A tonster or grid, the holder of which is provided with a hinged side to
facilitate the introduction of food into the same, as set forth.
