A continuous hot hob with movable projecting side flue for oven. The hot
hob A to be placed at the same level as the fall bar B and the movable side flue C.
The hot hob A can either be brought out in one piece as shown in drawing or in
sections to the width of fall bar B, or the fall bar B can be continued' alongside
the hot hob A either the full length of the front or a portion of the front as

I, ALFRED THOMAS HEBRON, of Wilfred Terrace, Whitley, in the County of
Northumberland, Kitchen Range Manufacturer, 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 :-
My invention relates to hot hobs and side flues of cooking ranges, whereby they
are rendered more efficient than cooking ranges hitherto employed; and in order
that my invention may be clearly understood I will proceed to describe same with
reference to the accompanying drawings in which similar letters refer to like parts
in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a front view of a cooking range fitted with apparatus constructed
according to my invention, and Figures 2 and 3 are detail views.
Figures 4 and 5, shew ranges of a slightly modified form.
According to my invention I prolong the upper plate of the hot hob A so as to
form a projecting hob B, which is situated at the same level as the fall bars C.
D is a side flue, the upper surface of which is at or about the same level as the hot
hob B, and the said side flue D is provided with projections E which slide in
guides F situated in the grid G.
Racks H and H', are formed on the under sides of the flue D, and pinions J
gear with the said racks, such pinions J being mounted on a shaft K which is
provided with a handle L situated outside the range.
By arranging the projecting hob B on one side of the fall bars C, and the side
flue D at the opposite side of the fall bars C, a continuous hot hob is obtained
round the fire. The position of the side flue D may be adjusted by turning the
handle L, thus regulating the size of the hob surface.
In some cases I dispense with the sliding flue D for forming the hot hob, and I
employ a loose plate M over the lower projecting part of the range, as seen at
Figure 4; and instead of forming a hob B by prolonging the upper plate of the

page_text: hot hob A, I may when desired employ a removable plate N, as shown at
Figure 4.
Where it is not desirable to employ a projecting hob in connection with the hot
hob A, the fall bars C may be prolonged to the side as seen at Figure 5, and this
arrangement is particularly useful in fitting the improvement to existing ranges.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The projecting hot hob, substantially as shown and described with reference
to Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings.
-2. The sliding side flue D, the upper surface of which forms a hot hob, sub
stantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. The side flue D, having projections E and racks H and H', in combination
with guides F, pinions J, shaft T, and handle L, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
4. The plate M, projecting hob N, and fall bars C, substantially as shown and
described with reference to Figure 4 of the accompanying drawings.
5. The extended fall bars, substantially as shown and described with reference
to Figure 5 of the accompanying drawings.
6. The general arrangement and combination of the parts, forming my improve-
ments in cooking ranges, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
