Improvements in the Cooking Pans of Portable Fish and Chip-potato
Cooking Ranges.
EDWARD BIRCH 101 Miller Street Manchester Lancashire Machinist do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
pan
My invention is to prevent fatty matter which may flow over the from
coming in contact with the inner fire & heat, which I effect by providing the pan
with an overhanging collar extending round the exterior of the pan & sufficiently
broad to lap or fall over the rim or ledge of the outer casing, so that any overflow
will be carried over free from the casing & drop towards the floor. To allow the
gaseous vapour to escape from the pan to the flue I flatten-in a section of the pan &
so elevate the wall of said section as to form a dam or elevated partition between
the contents of the pan & the flue. Or I might insert a tube the mouth of which
would stand higher than the surface of the pan contents, down & along which tube
the vapour would be carried to the flue. Or I may provide a safe overflow by
simply making a hole or equivalent outlet the bottom of which would be lower than
the sill of the pan & providing a bridge from said pan over or through the outer
casing.

EDWARD BIRCH 101 Miller Street, Manchester Lancashire Mechanical
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 is to prevent fatty matter which may flow over the pan of the
cooking-range or stove from coming in contact with the inner fire and heat which I
effect by providing the pan with an overhanging collar A B extending round the
exterior of the pan A B C and sufficiently broad to cap or fall over the rim or
ledge of the outer casing F and drop towards the floor.
To allow the gaseous vapour to escape from the pan to the flue g, I flatten in &
section H of the pan and so elevate or continue the wall of said section as to form
a dam or elevated partition D E between the contents of the pan and the flue.
Or, I might insert a tube, the mouth of which would stand higher than the pan-
ledge or rim, down and along which tube the vapour would be carried to the flue.
Or, I might provide a safe overflow of pan-contents by simply making a hole or
equivalent outlet or conduit the bottom of which would be lower than the rim of
the pan and providing a bridge from said pan, over or through the outer casing F.
Fig. 1 of the accompanying drawings is an elevation of pan A B C shewing collar
or rim for overflow at A B and partition D E as before explained.
Fig. 2 is a plan of pan A B C and dam or partition D E.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. A safe overflow from the pan of the range or stove to the exterior of the
casing.
2nd. An escape for gas and vapour from the pan of cooking range or stove to
the flue, substantially as explained in Specification and shewn in the drawings.
