I, JOHN WILSON of 22 Victoria Road, Crosshill, Glasgow, in the county of Renfrew,
North Britain, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
My invention consists of improved appliances for supporting small vessels which
are placed (conveniently near to fixed gas brackets and) suitably for having their
contents heated from the ordinary gas appliances, and has for its objects,
First the. heating of water, milk or other fluids and the cooking of viands, by the
agency of the ordinary domestic gas (wall or shelf) brackets.
Second-greater convenience and rapidity in heating and cooking food for invalids,
children and other persons.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the following sheet of drawings,
in which
Fig. 1. is a perspective view of a saucepan with bracket attachment.
Fig. 2. is a perspective view of a frying pan with bracket attachment.
Fig. 3. is a perspective view of a saucepan supported by means of its bracket
attachment, and a screw stud and nut fitted to a (mantelpiece or other) shelf.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a frying-pan supported by means of its bracket
attachment and a screw stud and nut fitted to a wall bracket.
Fig. 5 is an elevation shewing the relative positions of a gas bracket and saucepan
the latter being supported by a wall bracket similar to that shewn in figure 4.
Fig. 6 is an elevation shewing the relative positions of a gas bracket and saucepan
each of which are attached to a mantel (or other) shelf.
The bracket arm A (figs. 1 and 2) united to a saucepan or other cooking utensil and
the screw stud B (fig. 3) with its associate nut C represent one of the several varieties
of supports comprised in this invention. By means of the permanent attachment of
the arm A to the cooking utensil and the permanent attachment of the stud B in
suitable proximity to any (wall or shelf) Gas bracket, childrens and invalids food, or

page_text: artizans and other operatives carly breakfasts or impromptu meals may be prepared
or cooked in summer or winter with ease and rapidity; the gas flame imparting light
and warmth to the apartment at the same time that it cooks or heats the food
required.
This method of supporting cooking utensils is particularly designed for use in
conjunction with the gas brackets which are usually attached to mantel picces in
Scotch houses, and wall (Gas) brackets in offices, shops, warehouses or other places.
Various methods and means may be employed for fastening the arm A to the stud B
including other kinds of screw attachments than those shewn as well as stationary or
revolving studs. The slots D in the arm A may be varied also in form and character.
By a slight variation in the details of construction the studs may be attached to either
wood, stone or metal shelves.

page_text: I, JOHN WILSON of 22 Victoria Road Croshill, Glasgow in the County of Renfrew
Engineer 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:-
My invention relates to improved appliances or mechanism connected with cooking
utensils and such like articles or vessels and has for its objects; first to enable such
utensils to be temporarily attached and supported, conveniently near to fixed Gas
brackets; Second to adapt such vessels for use in conjunction with ordinary (and
not special) gas brackets for cooking purposes; Third: greater convenience and
rapidity in heating and cooking food for invalids, children or other persons.
I attain these objects by means of the mechanism which is illustrated in the sheet
of drawings which accompanied the provisional specification, in which
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a saucepan with slotted handle for bracket
attachment.
Fig. 2 is a perspective viow of a frying pan with slotted handle for bracket
attachment.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a saucepan supported by means of its bracket
attachment and a screw stud or nut fitted to a mantel piece (or other) shelf.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a frying pan supported by means of its bracket
attachment and a screw stud or nut fitted to a wall bracket.
Fig. 5 is an elevation shewing the relative positions of a gas bracket and saucepan,
the latter being supported by a wall bracket similar to that shewn in figure 4.
Fig. 6 is an elevation shewing the relative positions of a gas bracket and saucepan
each of which are attached to a mantel (or other) shelf.
The slotted arm A (figs. 1 and 2) united to a saucepan or other cooking utensil and
the screw stud B with its associate nut represent one of the several varieties of
supports comprised in this invention.
By means of the permanent attachment of the arm A to the cooking utensil and
the permanent attachment of the stud B in suitable proximity to any (wall or shelf)
gas bracket childrens and invalids foods or artizans' and other operatives early
breakfasts or impromptu meals may be prepared or cooked in summer or winter
with case and rapidity; the gas flame imparting light and warmth to the apartment
at the same time that it cooks or beats the food required..
This method of supporting cooking utensils is particularly designed for use in
conjunction with gas brackets which are attached to mantel pieces and are applicable
also to wall (gas) brackets in offices, shops, warehouses and other places.
Various methods and means may be employed for fastening the arm A to the
stud B including other kinds of screw and staple attachments than those shewn as
well as stationary or revolving studs. The slots D in the arm A may be varied also
in form and character. By a slight variation in the details of construction the studs
may be attached to either wood, stone or metal shelves.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is,
The combination with cooking utensils and such like vessels of slotted, screwed and
other equivalent mechanism for the purpose of temporarily attaching such vessels to
a shelf or wall and thereby supporting them, all substantially as herein described
and shewn and for the purposes specified.
