I THOMAS FLETCHER of Thynne Street Warrington in the County of Lancaster
Gas Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPARATUS FOR COOKING AND HEATING BY MEANS OF GAS to be as follows:-
This Invention relates to apparatus for cooking and heating by means of gas
and these improvements have for their object the construction or arrangement of
such apparatus in such a manner that it may be employed for grilling or for boiling
at will without reversing the burner and without the use of loose deflectors.
The burner employed may be of the ordinary or of any suitable construction but
I prefer to use the tubular form and it is so mounted or fixed that there is space
below it for grilling and for similar purposes.
About the level of the top of the burner I arrange sliding, pivotted, hinged or
revolving plates or panels in such a manner that they may be drawn, turned,
folded or otherwise moved over or against the sides of the burner or burners above
the level of the flame, when the heat from the burner will be deflected downwards
for grilling toasting and similar purposes.
The sliding or other plates or panels are so arranged that one of them may be
moved over each burner or that two or more may be moved together over or
against each burner.
To prevent loss or misplacement of the plates or panels they are either pinned,
hinged or confined within grooves or held by equivalent or similar means or they
may be arranged to drop below the burner or burners when not required for use as
deflectors.
When the deflecting plates or panels are withdrawn from the burners the heat
will ascend and the burners may be used for boiling, stewing, frying and for similar
purposes.

Gas 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 :-
This Invention relates to to apparatus for cooking and heating by means of gas
and these Improvements have for their object the construction or arrangement of
such apparatus in such a manner that it may alternatively or simultaneously be
employed for grilling or boiling at will without the use of loose deflectors or plates.
The burner or burners employed may be of the ordinary or of any suitable
construction but I prefer to use the tubular form and it or they are so mounted
fixed or placed that there is space below for grilling toasting and for other similar
purposes.
These Improvements consist in an arrangement or combination of sliding pivotted
hinged or revolving plates or panels so disposed that they may be drawn turned
folded or otherwise similarly moved over against or away from the burner in such
a manner that when they are moved over or against the burner or burners the heat
therefrom will be deflected into the space below for grilling and when they are
moved away the burners may be used in the ordinary manner for boiling and
similar purposes.
The sliding or other plates or panels are so arranged that they may be turned
drawn or otherwise moved above the level of the flame and they may further be
arranged in such a manner that one of them may be drawn-or moved over one or
more burners or that two or more may be drawn or moved over or against one
burner.
To prevent loss or misplacement of the plates or panels they are pinned pivotted
or hinged or confined within grooves or are held to the fixed part of the apparatus
by equivalent or similar means or they may be arranged to drop below the burner
or burners when not required for use as deflectors.
When the deflecting plates or panels are withdrawn or moved from the burners
the heat will ascend .and the burners may be used for boiling stewing frying and
for similar purposes.
I desire it to be understood that I do not claim as part of my present invention
the use of a plate or panel as a deflector. when the plate or panel is not attached
or secured by any means to the burner or apparatus but simply rests upon some
portion or portions thereof.

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:
(1) In apparatus for cooking by means of gas, the combination of one or more
atmospheric gas burners with one or more plates or panels movably connected to
the apparatus and capable of being employed as a deflector or deflectors, sub-
stantially as hereinbefore set forth and described.
(2) In apparatus for cooking by means of Gas, the adaptation or arrangement of
one or more plates or panels movably connected to the apparatus and capable of
being used as deflectors, substantially as herein before set forth and described.

hundred and eighty five.

the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
This Invention relates to to apparatus for cooking and heating by means of gas
and these Improvements have for their object the construction or arrangement of
such apparatus in such a manner that it may alternatively or.simultaneously be
employed for grilling or boiling at will without the use of loose deflectors or plates.
The burner or burners employed may be of the ordinary or of any suitable
construction but I prefer to use the tubular form and it or they are so mounted
fixed or placed that there is space below for grilling toasting and for other similar
purposes.
These Improvements consist in an arrangement or combination of sliding pivotted
hinged or revolving plates or panels so disposed that they may be drawn turned
folded or otherwise similarly moved over against or away from the burner in such
a manner that when they are moved over or against the burner or burners the heat
therefrom will be deflected into the space below for grilling and when they are
moved away the burners may be used in the ordinary manner for boiling and
similar purposes.
The sliding or other plates or panels are so arranged that they may be turned
drawn or otherwise moved above the level of the flame and they may further be
arranged in such a manner that one of them may be drawn or moved over one or
more burners or that two or more may be drawn or moved over or against one
burner.
To prevent loss or misplacement of the plates or panels they are pinned pivotted
hinged or confined within grooves or are held to the fixed part of the apparatus
by equivalent or similar means or they may be arranged to drop below the burner
or burners when not required for use as deflectors.
When the deflecting plates or panels are withdrawn or moved from the burners
the heat will ascend and the burners may be used for boiling stewing frying and
for similar purposes.
I desire it to be understood that I do not claim as part of my present invention
the use of a plate or panel as a deflector when the plate or panel is not attached
or secured by any means to the burner or apparatus but simply rests upon some
portion or portions thereof,
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
(1) In apparatus for cooking by means of gas, the combination of one or more
atmospheric gas burners with one or more plates or panels movably connected to

page_text: the apparatus and capable of being employed as a deflector or deflectors, sub-
stantially as berein before set forth and described.
