We, ROBERT HENRY, Pattern Maker, and YATES, HAYWOOD & Co. and the

invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to provide an easy and ready means for the
cleaning out of flues, examination and repairing of the internal parts of stoves or
ranges.
It consists in constructing the range or stove with an oven so arranged that it
can be readily withdrawn from its normal position and removed, without disturbing
the surrounding parts, and thus exposing the flues and interior parts.
The oven may be made of cast or wrought iron, or of a combination of such
materials or the like, and with or without slides or guides, and may be secured' in
position by screws, catches or any other equivalent means.

COMPLETE
SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Cooking Stoves or Ranges.
We ROBERT HENRY, Pattern Maker, and YATES HAYWOOD & Co. and the
ROTHERHAM FOUNDRY COMPANY LIMITED, Manufacturers both of Effingham
Works, Rotherham in the County of York 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 has for its object to provide an easy and ready means for the
cleaning out of flues, and the examination and repairing of the internal parts of
stoves or ranges.
Our invention is illustrated in the annexed sheet of drawings in which,
Fig. 1, is an elevation of a cooking range fitted with a liftout oven.
Fig. 2, shows the oven removed.
Kitchen ranges and other like cooking stoves have hitherto had the ovens built
up with the other parts of the apparatus, and are so constructed and secured to the
fixed parts, that there is considerable difficulty in removing them, and in most
cases this cannot be done without the removal of the range front or at least a part
thereof. Our invention is to avoid this trouble, and it consists in making the
oven A, complete in itself and independent of the other parts of the apparatus,
and so arranged and constructed that it can be readily withdrawn from its position
in the range or stove without disturbing any of the surrounding or adjacent parts,
and be as readily replaced and secured.
The oven may be made of wrought or of cast iron, or of a combination of both,
thus it may have a cast iron front A, and a sheet iron body B, so as to reduce the
weight, and it may if desired be provided with slides or runners, and guides, or it
may be without.
In all cases it is made so that it can be withdrawn from its normal position,
shown in Fig. 1, with facility, and its removal will enable the flues and other
interior parts to be examined, cleaned or repaired as the case may be.

page_text: The oven may be secured in various ways such as by a catch at c, or by means
of the removable shelf D, or other equivalent means that will accomplish the
desired object, and not interfere with the easy removal of the oven.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our invention,
and the manner in which the same may be performed, or carried into practice, we
declare that what we claim is :-
-
1st. Constructing the ovens of kitchen ranges and other cooking stoves, as an
independant part of same, and so that it can be removed and replaced without
disturbing the other component parts of the apparatus, for the purpose specified.
2. A cooking stove or kitchen range, having an oven so constructed that it can
be readily removed therefrom as a separate complete part, for the purpose specified,
and substantially as hereinbefore described and shown.
