COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Means for Securing the More Uniform Cooking of
Articles in the Ovens of Stoves and Ranges.
I, HENRY RICHARD BARNARD, residing at No. 300 W. 54th Street, New York, in
the County and State of New York, United States of America, Inventor, 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 stoves or ranges, and the object thereof, is to provide the
oven of a stove or range with an improved revoluble support for articles to be baked
or cooked, consisting of an attachment which is adapted to be set into the oven or
connected with the bottom thereof.
The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the
accompanying drawing forms a part, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a side view of a stove or range provided with my improvement, the door
of the oven being open;
Fig. 2, a sectional side view of the attachment detached or removed from the oven ;
and,
Fig. 3, a side view, showing a modification in which the attachment is connected
with the bottom of the oven.
In the drawing forming part of this specification, the separate parts of my
improvement are designated by the same numerals of reference in each of the views,
and in said drawing, I have shown, reference being made to Fig. 1, an ordinary stove
or range 5, which is provided with an oven 6, which is provided with a door 7, and in
the practice of my invention, I provide a casing 8, which is provided with a bottom
plate 9, and a top plate 10, and the bottom plate 9, is provided with legs or
supports 11, any desired number of which may be employed.
The casing 8, may be circular or rectangular in form, and mounted centrally
therein, is a shaft 12, the lower end of which is pivoted on the bottom plate 9, of the
bottom as shown at 13, and the upper end of which projects through the top of the
plate 10, of the bottom as shown at 14, and is revoluble therein, and mounted on
the upper end of the shaft 12, is a disk or plate 15, on which the articles to be baked
or cooked is placed, and said disk or plate is provided with wheels or rollers 26, which
are adapted to bear on the top of the casing 8..
:
Mounted in the casing 8, adjacent to one side thereof, is a spring drum 16, which
is provided with a shaft 17, one end of which projects through the bottom of the
casing 8, as shown at 18, and adapted to be wound by a key in the usual manner, and
said shaft 17, is provided with a gear wheel 19, which operates in connection with a
larger gear wheel 20, in the shaft 12, and mounted on the shaft 12, is another gear
wheel 21, which operates in connection with a pinion 22, which is provided with a
governor 24.
The governor 24, consists, as shown in the drawing, of separate blades or fans
connected with the shaft 23, but said governor may be of any desired construction,
and the object is to prevent the racing of the gearing which is connected with the
shaft 12, and the spring drum 16, and to regulate the movement thereof.
When the device is set in motion, the disk or plate 15, will revolve regularly and
slowly, and the article which is placed thereon, will, of course, revolve therewith;
and the different sides or parts of said article will thus be carried around in the
гр
