PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stove and Range Construction.
We, WATSON, Gow & Co, LTD., Etna Foundry, Lilybank Road,
Glasgow, and ROBERT ROBERTSON, Manager at said Foundry, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in stove and range construction and
consists in making the tray or projecting part of the sole pan or bottom part of
the stove or range in one or more pieces, separate and detachable from the main
sole pan or bottom of the stove or range The tray is fixed by projecting snugs
or screws, or otherwise, to the main sole pan In order that this may be carried
out, when the stove or range is fitted together, the snugs or screws are so arranged
that the attachment 18 made to parts of the sole pan which are easily accessible
without in any way interfering with the fitted stove or range, that is to say the
attachment is made at the ashpit and cleaning door under the oven, or at other
convenient position.
The advantages obtained by our invention are that the pubic contents of a
package containing a stove are considerably reduced and there is thus a conse-
quent saving in freight when the fieight is chargeable by measure
Also the stove is less liable to breakage in transit or otherwise
Also if the tray should be broken through any cause it can be renewed at much
less cost than when it forms part of the main solepan Under the old arrange-
ment the whole stove had to be taken down and fitted up on a new solepan
whereas under the new arrangement the fittings of the stove proper is not dis-
turbed.
The detachable tray may be nacked inside the stove.

This invention relates to improvements in stove and range construction and
consists in making the tray or projecting part of the sole pan or bottom part of

page_text: the stove or range in one or more pieces separate and detachable from the main
sole pan or bottom of the stove or range The tray is fixed by projecting snugs
or screws, or otherwise, to the main solo pan In order that this may be carried
out, when the stove or range is fitted together the mugs or screws are so arranged
that the attachment is made to parts of the sole pan which are easily accessible
without in any way interfering with the fitted stove or range, that is to say the
attachment is made at the ashpit and cleaning door under the oven, or at other
convenient position
But in order that our invention may be more readily understood we have
appended an explanatory sheet of diawings in which
Fig. 1 18 a plan and
Fig. 2 a section, on the line A B Fig 1, showing the sole pan or bottom of a
stove as constructed in accordance with our improvements
In the said drawings A represents the main sole pan or bottom upon which the
stove is fitted or built Bis the projecting part of the sole pan which may be
attached to the bottom A by snugs C situated at the ashpit D and cleaning
door E under the oven The snugs C may enter recesses c formed in the bottom
and be attached by sciews or bolts as desued
The projecting sole pan 18 shewn in the foregoing figures as detached from
the main sole pan
The advantages obtained by our invention are that the cubic contents of a
package containing a stove are considerably reduced and there is thus a conse-
quent saving in freight when the freight 18 chargeable by measure
Also the stove is less liable to breakage in transit or otherwise
Also if the tray should be broken, through any cause, it can be renewed at
much less cost than when it forms part of the main sole pan
Under the old
arrangement the whole stove had to be taken down and fitted up on a new sole-
pan whereas under the new aangement the fittings of the stove proper are not
disturbed
The detachable tray may be packed inside the stove
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 stove and range construction, forming the tray or projecting part of the
sole pan or bottom in one or more pieces separate and detachable from the main
sole pan or bottom, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes herem-
before described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
2 The method of attaching the projecting sole pan to the main sole pan or
bottom, substantially as and for the purpose herein before described and shewn
in the accompanying drawings
