PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Kitchen Ranges and their Fireplaces.
I, WILLIAM MILLER, of 303 Saint Vincent Street, in the City of Glasgow, Iron-
monger, do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
This Invention which relates to kitchen ranges and their fireplaces has for
its object to provide means for securing tiles to form a facing or a facing and
sides for the jambs and lintel whereby the finished stone or concrete jambs and
lintel usually employed may be replaced by ordinary brick work and covered with
this said facing or facing and sides ornamented with tiles or glass.
Over the front or front and sides of the brickwork jambs and lintel is fitted
an open metal framing similar to that provided for kitchen ranges with back
and end covings for tiles, and into this framing the tiles are slipped to cover
or enclose the jambs and lintel. This framing is composed of a back plate or
brick and side plate or frame to receive tiles and the tiles are secured by a bar
or angle iron attached to the smokeboard and end covings of the range, and
by another bar or angle iron at the corner running from under the mantel shelf
to the top of the range hob or to the floor, and also by a bar or angle iron
running along the top of the lintel under the mantel shelf with snugs to screw
on to the mantel shelf. A bar or angle iron may also be provided if required
for fixing the tiles in the sides of the jambs running from the shelf to the
floor. The tiles are also secured in the lintel between the shelf and the top of
the range by studs or screws as is usual in the covings of the range. The
metal framework may only be carried to the hob of the range and under the
hob replaced by metal plates to cover the brick work. All the said framing
may be fixed to the range thereby forming a complete fireplace, and attached to
mantel shelf and at the back and sides to the brick work.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or relating to Kitchen Ranges and their Fireplaces.
I, WILLIAM MILLER, of 303 Saint Vincent Street, in the City of Glasgow, Iron-
monger, 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 which relates to kitchen ranges and their fireplaces has for

page_text: its object to provide means for securing tiles to form a facing or a facing and
sides for the jambs and lintel whereby the finished stone or concrete jambs and
lintel usually employed may be replaced by ordinary brick work and covered with
this said facing or facing and sides ornamented with tiles or glass.
The Invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 being
a front elevation and Figure 2 a section on the line -r of the improved facing
for the jambs and lintel of a fireplace.
Over the front or front and sides of the brickwork jambs A and lintel B is fitted
an open metal framing similar to that provided for kitchen ranges with back
and end covings for tiles, and into this framing the tiles C are slipped to cover
or enclose the jambs A and lintel B. This framing is composed of a back plate D
and side plate or frame E or back plate only to receive tiles and the framing
for the tiles C is secured by a bar or angle iron attached to the smokeboard I
and end covings J of the range, or this angle iron may be replaced by a projecting
flange formed on the back plate D and by another bar or angle iron or flange
at the corner running from under the mantel shelf K to the top of the range
hob L, or to the floor when the side frame E is omitted, and also by a bar or
angle iron running along the top of the lintel under the mantel shelf with snugs
to screw on to the mantel shelf, or both bar and snugs may as shewn be dis-
pensed with in the case of the lintel. A bar or angle iron or flange F¹ may
also be provided if required for fixing the framing E of the tiles to the sides
of the jambs A running from the shelf K to the floor. The tiles C are secured
in the lintel between the shelf and the top of the range by studs or screws G as
is usual in the covings of the range. The metal framework may only be
carried to the hob of the range, and under the hob replaced by metal plates H
to cover the brick work. All the said framing may be fixed to the range
thereby forming a complete fireplace, and attached to the mantel shelf and at the
back and sides to the brick work.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said In-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
In a kitchen range the combination of an open metal frame and tiles fitted
therein to form a facing or a facing and sides for jambs and lintel of brickwork
employed in substitution for finished stone.
