I, HENRY CHARLES TURNER of 10 Blucher Road, Camberwell, in the County of
Surrey, Gas Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN GAS KITCHEN RANGES to be as follows:-
"
This invention has for its object the construction of kitchen ranges in such a manner
as to admit of their being heated by gas instead of coal or other fuel, although the
latter may be used in conjunction with gas.
The invention consists in constructing the range in somewhat the usual form but
instead of relying upon the heat generated in the fire place to heat the oven and boiler
an arrangement is made for the introduction of a set of gas burners inside the bottom
of the oven, and by this means the oven is principally heated. The "hot plate" above
the oven is also supplied with gas, and is hinged so that it may be lifted and thrown
quite out of the way into a recess formed in the side coving of the range and the
brickwork in which it is built. The fire place is fitted with an asbestos gas fire so
arranged as to be hooked on or off the bars of the grate, and exposed to warm the
room. This fire when not required to be alight may be closed in by a sliding or
hinged door in front. Instead of gas, coal or other fuel may be employed and the
heat engendered may be used to supplement the heating of the oven and boiler by gas.
The boiler is placed on the opposite side of the fire place to the oven, and has through
and near its bottom a tubular orifice in which is inserted a gas burner having a row
or rows of jets, by which the water in the boiler is heated. Appropriate flues are
constructed and the range is provided with suitable delivery pipes and taps or cocks
for regulating the consumption of gas at the various burners.

page_text: I, HENRY CHARLES TURNER of 54 Shenley Road, formerly of 10 Blucher Road,
Camberwell, in the County of Surrey, Gas 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 :-
This invention has for its object the construction of kitchen ranges in such a manner
as to admit of their being heated by gas instead of coal or other fuel, although the
latter may be used in conjunction with gas.
In order that the invention may be easily understood drawings are attached hereto
of which the following is a description. Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the range.
Fig. 2 is a part plan of the top of the range and exhibits the hot plate. Fig. 3 is a
plan of the set of burners inserted in the oven. Fig. 4 a longitudinal elevation of one
side of it and Fig. 5 a cross section of Fig. 4 at A, B. In each of the Figs. similar
letters refer to the same parts.
The invention consists in constructing the range in somewhat the usual form but
instead of relying upon the heat generated in the fireplace C to heat the oven D and
boiler E, an arrangement is made for the introduction of a set of gas burners F inside
the bottom of the oven and by this means the oven is principally heated. This set of
burners is shown as inserted through an orifice O in the front of the oven and above
the dripping pan P. One burner is shown more distinctly in Fig. 4 where it will be
observed that it has a covering plate Q for deflecting the heat, and also preventing
any greasy substance dropping on the burner, the lower part being provided with
a series of openings R, R, through which air is supplied for producing proper
combustion. The top hot plate G above the oven is also supplied with gas, and is
hinged at H, H, H so that it may be lifted and thrown quite out of the way into a
recess I formed in the side coving of the range and the brickwork in which it is built.
The fire place is fitted with an asbestos gas fire J so arranged as to be hooked on or
off the grate, being supported by a hinge at S and a conical gas joint at T, and is
exposed so as to warm the room. This fire when not required to be alight may be
closed in by a sliding or hinged door K in front. Instead of gas, coal or other fuel
may be employed and the heat engendered may be used to supplement the heating of
the oven and boiler by gas. The boiler E is placed on the opposite side of the fire
place to the oven and has through and near its bottom an orifice L in which is inserted
a gas burner M having a row or rows of jets by which the water in the boiler is
heated. The orifice may be closed by a door U having a knob or handle V. Appro-
priate flues are constructed and the range is provided with suitable delivery pipes and
taps or cocks for regulating the consumption of gas at the various burners. The
supply is shown on the drawing as coming from N.
Instead of a single hot plate, a second hot plate may be fitted over the boiler if
found desirable.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is,-
1. The construction and arrangement of the set of burners F inserted in the oven,
and as herein described and shown on the drawings.
2. The making of the hot plate G with hinges H so that they may be lifted and
thrown back into a recess I as herein described and shown on the drawings.
3. The arrangement of the gas fire J so that it may be attached or detached as
herein described and shown on the drawings.
4. The construction of the boiler so that the water contained therein may be heated
directly from a burner inserted in the lower part thereof, as herein described and
shown on the drawings.
