An Improvement in the Covings of Kitcheners and other Ranges:
I ALICE MARY BUSHELL of 39 The Broadway, Stratford, London, E. do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-―
The object of this invention is to improve the appearance save the labour of
blackleading and conduce to the cleanliness, of kitcheners and other self-setting
ranges.
Heretofore the side and back covings of such kitcheners and ranges have been
formed by cast iron panels which, although blackleaded, present a gloomy appear-
ance and reflect but little light so that the recess is dark, especially towards the
corners where dirt is liable to accumulate.
The present improvement consists in making the covings of enamelled iron which
may be white or coloured, will always present a light and cheerful appearance, and
may be readily cleaned by washing.
These improved covings would be secured in position in any convenient manner.

I, ALICE MARY BUSHELL, of 39, The Broadway, Stratford, London, E. do
hereby declare thejnature 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:-
The object of this invention is to improve the appearance, save the labour and
time taken in blackleading, and conduce to the cleanliness, of kitcheners and other
self-setting kitchen ranges.
Heretofore the covings at the sides and backs of such kitcheuers or ranges have
been formed by cast iron panels which, although kept bright by blackleading,
reflect but little light and give a gloomy appearance to the recess especially
towards the corners where dirt is liable to accumulate. Porcelain tiles have also
been used for lining these openings but they are, however, expensive and liable to
become damaged and discoloured by the heat.
The present improvement consists in making the covings of enamelled iron which
may either be white or coloured. The advantages of these improved covings
are that they impart a bright and cheerful appearance to the recess and may be
readily cleaned by washing when required, thus avoiding the objection to the
ordinary cast iron covings and securing the advantages of porcelain tiles at a
much lower cost.
These enamelled covings would be formed of sheet iron panels which are fixed
at the back and sides of the opening by means of angle irons and screws and

similar way to the ordinary cast iron covings, the space between the panels and the
back and sides of the opening being afterwards filled in with mortar so as when set
to firmly secure the whole together. The panels may also be fixed in any other
suitable manner.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The herein described improvement in the covings of kitcheners and other self-
g ranges.
