PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Dutch Oven.
JOHN LEE General Labourer No. 33 Charles Street, Blackpool in the county of
Lancaster Lancashire I do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The apparatus consists of a frame to be suspended in front of the fire. The frame
that gos on the fire bars is made of Iron one inch wide by thick & bent rectangular
shape with a cross stay at the end nearest the fire where it hooks on the grate bars.
The cooking part slides on the rectangular, so as to place the article that is cooking

bearings at the top. The bearings are a rod with a handle at one end & two bavil
cog wheels 1" in diameter at the other end that are for turning what is cooking
without removing it from the fire. Also the whole cooking part turns round on the
vertical bolt so as what is cooking can be looked at without being taken from the fire.
Also there is a rod that comes from the under bavil wheel which has hooks at right
angles to the rod the hooks are for placing what is Roasting or Toasting.
