GEORGE GORDON BRODIE, Ironfounder, 21 Trinity Road, Aston Nr Birmingham
& JAMES DAMREL PRIOR, Manager, 143 Isledon Road, London do hereby declare
the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBINATION OR CONVERTIBLE
COAL & GAS COOKING RANGES to be as follows:-
The arrangement of the boiling Gas burners on the hot plate of the Range in such
a manner that they can be readily brought into use when required and folded
away when not required so as not to interfere with the free use of the Range as an
ordinary coal burning Range. These burners are made on the usual atmospheric
principle and the end of the inlet piece projecting from the air bulb is screwed into
a swivel joint connected with a fixed gas pipe at the back of the hot-plate. This
swivel joint enables the burners to be pulled down on to the hot-plate when
required for use & when not required they are raised up until they rest against
the cove plates or the gas pipe at the back. The burners are each on separate
swivel joints so that one or more burners can be used at a time as required.

We GEORGE GORDON BRODIE of 21 Trinity Road Aston near Birmingham
Ironfounder and JAMES DAMREL PRIOR of 143 Isledon Road London, Manager do
hereby declare the nature of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN COMBINATION
OR CONVERTIBLE COAL AND GAS COOKING RANGES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :—
The nature of our invention is the arrangement of the boiling burners on the
hot plate of the range in such a manner that they can be readily brought into use
when required and folded away when not required so as not to interfere with the
free use of the range as an ordinary coal burning range-The gas burners are made
on the usual atmospheric principle and the end of the gas inlet piece projecting
from the air bulb is screwed into a swivel joint connected with a gas pipe fixed at
the back of the hot plate of the range; or the gas inlet piece is made a fixture to
the gas pipe and the end of the air bulb is hinged by means of a projecting pin on
both sides of it which work in corresponding holes in two ears fixed on to the gas
pipe in such a position that the burner may be folded back up against the cove
plates when not required and when pulled down on to the hot plate for use the end
of the air bulb comes over and around the fixed projecting inlet piece-This latter
arrangement dispenses with a swivel gas joint which is more or less liable to get
out of order and the tap for turning the gas on or off can be fixed in any con-
venient position in the gas pipe-The burners are each on separate joints so that
one or more of them can be used at a time as required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we can claim is
1. In combination or convertible coal and gas cooking ranges the arrangement
of the boiling gas burners with the swivel or hinge joints substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore described.
