PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and connected with the Ovens of Kitchen Ranges.
We, RICHARD HAIGHTON, LIMITED, of Vulcan Works, Nelson, in the County of Lan-
caster, Ironfounders. and Kitchen Range Manufacturers, and ALBERT HAIGHTON,
of Thornton-in-Craven, in the County of York, Ironfounder, do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows: :―
This invention relates to the ovens of kitchen ranges, and consists in casting
the sides, back, top, and bottom thereof in separate pieces or plates, and after-
wards fixing the same together by screws or bolts, instead of forming or casting
them all in one piece as hitherto. By this means, the ovens can be cast on plates
instead of in moulds and they are easier to store, and transport from one place
to another.
"
In proceeding to construct an oven in accordance with our invention, we pre-
ferably cast the back plate of the oven with side flanges about three quarters of an
inch deep and running completely round the four edges thereof.
The four flanges of the back plate near each end are provided with ears, to
which the top, bottom, and side plates are secured by bolts or screws.
The top
and bottom plates are also formed with flanges of about the same depth, which
overlap or embrace the side plates, and are likewise provided with ears, by which
the plates are bolted together. The flanges may fit internally or externally the
side plates, and the method of fitting the plates together may be modified as may
be found most convenient.
Improvements in and connected with the Ovens of Kitchen Ranges.
We, RICHARD HAIGHTON, LIMITED, of Vulcan Works, Nelson, in the County of Lan-
caster, Ironfounders, and Kitchen Range Manufacturers, and ALBERT HAIGHTON,
of Thornton-in-Craven, in the County of York, Ironfounder, 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 the ovens of kitchen ranges, and consists in casting
the sides, back, top, and bottom in separate plates or pieces, and after-
wards fixing the same together by screws or bolts, instead of forming or casting
them all in one piece as hitherto. By this means, the ovens can be cast on plates

page_text: instead of in moulds, and they are easier to store or transport from one place to
another, or to renew in. case of breakage, as in the latter case the broken plates
can be renewed without substituting another oven.
In proceeding to construct an oven in accordance with our invention, we pre-
ferably cast the back plate of the oven with side flanges running completely round
the four edges thereof. The four flanges of the back plate near each end are
provided with ears, to which the top, bottom and side plates are secured by bolts
and screws. The top and bottom plates are also formed with flanges, which over-
lap or embrace the side plates, and are likewise provided with ears, by which the
plates are bolted together. The flanges may fit internally and externally the
side plates, and the method of fitting the plates together may be modified as may
be found most convenient.
Our invention will be fully understood by reference to the accompanying draw-
ing, which is a perspective view of an oven of a kitchen range constructed in
accordance with our invention.
The back plate A of the oven is provided with four overlapping flanges B and
eight lugs C, by which the side plates, and top and bottom plates are secured
thereto by screws as shewn.
The top plate E of the oven may be provided with two internal flanges F, having
lugs G for securing to the side plates K.
The bottom plate H of the oven may be provided with two external flanges_J
arranged to embrace the side plates K, and are likewise provided with lugs L,
which enable them to be secured to the side plates.
M is the usual flange for jointing the oven door.
It will be quite obvious that the method of fitting the plates together as regards
the arrangement of the respective flanges and lugs may be varied, and we do not
confine ourselves to such particular method.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
The improved means or method of constructing ovens of kitchen ranges by
casting them in separate plates, and afterwards securing the same together, sub-
stantially as described and shewn in the accompanying drawing.
