Complete Specification Left, 26th Jan., 1900-Accepted, 3rd Mar., 1900
We, JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and Butler
Lamp Manufacturing Company, Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY DARWIN,
Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City of Birming-
ham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention has for its objects the construction and arrangement of grills
or grilling appliances for gas cooking stoves in such a manner as to permit of
their ready attachment with or detachment from the stove, to facilitate grilling
operations, and to render the appliances readily adjustable for use in rapid
boiling or other purposes when required.
In the construction and arrangement of our improved grilling appliances we
mount the detachable grids or perforated plates and the perforated hollow bars
forming the burners, in a box like frame, preferably of cast iron. Such frame
eucloses and retains the detachable parts of the grill in position for service and
by retaining the heat facilitates the grilling operations.
The burners are made partially rotatable about their longitudinal axes, to
permit the flame to be directed either above or below the frets as may be de-
sired. The ends of the burners on the one side of the containing frame are
connected by a rod, the attachment between one of the burners and the adjacent
end of the rod being on the upper side of the burner, whilst the opposite burner
is connected on its under side to that end of the rod adjacent thereto. Thus on
the reciprocation of the rod the burners are rotated, or partially rotated, in oppo-
site directions, and as the outlet perforations are on the inner faces of the
burners, the flames or jets from each are raised or lowered simultaneously.
The reciprocation of the burner connecting rod for the partial rotation of the
burners to direct the flames either below the frets for ordinary grilling operations,
or above the same for rapid boiling or other purposes, is effected by means of a
convenient handle bar preferably arranged for engagement and disengagement
with the rod without the use of bolts, screws, or other like fastenings.
The burners and frets can be very readily detached from the containing frame
for cleaning and other purposes, and as readily replaced in position for service.

We, Joux WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and Butler
Lamp Manufacturing Company Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY DARWIN,
Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City of Birming-
ham, 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:
-
Our invention has for its objects the construction and arrangement of grills
or grilling appliances for gas cooking stoves in such a manner as to permit of
their ready attachment with or detachment from the stove, to facilitate grilling
operations, and to render the appliances readily adjustable for use in rapid
boiling or other purposes when required.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred to.
Figure is an elevation and Figure 2a plan showing our improved grill.
Figure is a sectional elevation (on the fine y Figure 2) showing the grill
burners as adjusted for rapid boiling and other purposes.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In the construction and arrangement of our improved grilling appliances we
mount the detachable grids, frets, or perforated plates as A A', and the per-
forated hollow bars forming the burners B B', in a box like frame C, preferably
of cast iron, carried by the plate D forming a part of the stove. Such frame C
encloses and supports the detachable parts of the grill in position for service and
by retaining the heat facilitates the grilling operations.
The burners B B are made partially rotatable about their longitudinal axes,
to permit the flame to be directed either above or below the frets A A¹ as may
be desired. The ends of the burners on the one side of the containing frame are
connected by a rod E, the lug attachment between one of the burners and the
adjacent end of the rod being on the upper side of the burner, whilst the opposite
burner is connected by the lug on its under side to the cranked end of the
rod adjacent thereto. Thus on the reciprocation of the rod E the burners are
rotated, or partially rotated, in opposite directions, and as the outlet perforations
are on the inner faces of the burners, the flames or jets from each are raised or
lowered simultaneously.
The reciprocation of the burner connecting rod E for the partial rotation of
the burners to direct the flames either below the frets, (as at Figure 1), for
ordinary grilling operations, or above the same, (as at Figure 3), for rapid boiling
or other purposes, is effected by means of a convenient handle bar as E. For
retaining the burners in their elevated or Figure 3 position, a lug e is provided
on the rod E for engaging the outer edge of the plate D.
Lifting of the burners during adjustment from one position to the other is
prevented by the guard pieces FF. The hollow projection C¹ from the box
like frame serves as a guide for the rod E.
The burners and frets can be very readily detached from the containing frame
for cleaning and other purposes, and as readily replaced in position for service.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
1. In grills or grilling appliances for gas cooking stoves, the use of rotatable

page_text: or partially rotatable burners and means for operating the same, substantially as
and for the purposes described.
2. In gas cooking stoves, the combination in a box like frame C of detachable
frets AA, rotatable or partially rotatable burners B B, and rod E connected
respectively with the upper and lower sides of the said burners substantially as
and for the purposes described and as illustrated.
