Improvements relating to Gas Cooking and other Stoves.
We, JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and Butler
Lamp Manufacturing Company Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY DARWIN,
Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City of
Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to gas cooking and other
stoves, our object being to provide simple and convenient means whereby the gas
supply cocks or nozzles can be readily adjusted and set to the centres of the
injector tubes of the burners.
In the application of our invention to a gas cooking stove we employ a cast
iron gas box or hollow side rail having projecting stems arranged to slide within
sockets preferably cast with one of the brackets or side bridges mounted on the
crown plate of the stove body. The gas supply cocks or nozzles for the various
burners beneath the crown plate are fitted in the gas box or hollow side rail ad-
jacent to the stove, and to one end of the box or rail is connected in any ordinary
manner the pipe admitting the gas.
The complete gas box or hollow side rail with its cocks or noozles can be
readily raised or lowered until so adjusted that the nozzles are disposed centrally
with the inlet ends of the injector tubes of the various burners; when at such
a position the box or side rail is set or secured by simply tightening the screws
in the sockets herein before described on to the box projecting stems inserted
within the said sockets.
By the use of our invention no expensive fitting or like operations are necessary
in the proper adjustment and setting of the gas supply cocks or nozzles relatively
with the injector tubes of the burners.

page_text: Birmingham, 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 consists of improvements relating to gas cooking and other
stoves, our object being to provide simple and convenient means whereby the gas
supply cocks or nozzles can be readily adjusted and set to the centres of the
injector tubes of the burners.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred
to :-
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 a sectional end elevation, illustrating
our invention.
The same reference letters in the two views indicate the same parts.
In the application of our invention to a gas cooking stove we employ a cast
iron gas box or hollow side rail as A, having projecting stems A¹ arranged to
slide within sockets B¹ preferably cast with one of the brackets or side bridges
as B mounted on the crown plate of the stove body. The gas supply cocks or
nozzles C for the various burners beneath the top or hot plate are fitted in the
gas box or hollow side rail A as illustrated, and to one end of the box or rail is
connected in any ordinary manner the pipe admitting the gas.
The complete gas box or hollow side rail A with its cocks or nozzles C can
be readily raised or lowered until so adjusted that the nozzles are disposed cen-
trally with the inlet ends of the injector tubes, as D, of the various burners;
when at such a position the box or side rail is set or secured by simply tighten-
ing the screws,
as b, in the sockets B¹ herein before described, on to the box
projecting stems A¹ inserted within the said sockets.
By the use of our invention no expensive fitting or like operations are neces-
sary in the proper adjustment and setting of the gas supply cocks or nozzles
relatively with the injector tubes of the burners.
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 claim is: —
-
1. In gas cooking and other stoves, means for readily effecting the adjust-
ment and setting of the gas supply cocks or nozzles to the centres of the injector
tubes of the burners, substantially as described.
2. In gas cooking and other stoves, the combination of the gas supply cocks
or nozzles C with the gas box or hollow side rail A having stems A¹ adjustable in
sockets B¹, substantially as and for the purpose described and as illustrated.
