Improvements in Gas Cooking Stoves.
I, DANIEL MACCALLUM GIBB, of The London Fire Appliance Company, of
40 St. Enoch Square, in the County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain,.
Manufacturer of Gas Stoves etc., do hereby declare the nature of this invention.
to be as follows: :-
This invention relates to improvements in gas cooking stoves, and has for its
object not only to facilitate the cleaning of these, but also to enhance their
appearance.
In carrying my invention into practice I cast the crown plate in the form of a
frame provided with cast runners or supports. On to these runners or supports I
cement or otherwise secure tiles which fill up the spaces, the surfaces of these tiles
of course when in position being flush with top of frame.
Of course it is to be understood that I do not confine myself to this precise.
construction of crown plate, as there are many other ways in which the tiles may
be arranged to form the top of crown plate.

I, DANIEL MACCALLUM GIBB of The London Fire Appliance Coy...
40, St. Enoch's Square, in the County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain,.
Manufacturer of Gas Stoves etc., 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 improvements in gas cooking stoves and has for its.
object not only to facilitate the cleaning of these, but also to enhance their
appearance.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into-
effect I have appended one sheet of drawings, which I will now proceed to
describe, and in which corresponding parts are marked with similar letters of
reference.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of gas stove to which my improve-
ments are applied, and Figure 2 is a similar view of a different form of gas stove
also showing my improvements.
In carrying my invention into practice, I cast the crown plate A in the form of
a frame provided with cast runners or supports. On to these runners or supports
I cement or otherwise secure tiles C, which fill up the space, the surface of these
tiles of course when in position being flush with top of frame. Or, as shown in the
drawings, the runners or supports may be dispensed with and the frame A cast
with a solid bottom and having a lip cr projecting edge B running round the whole

page_text: of its sides, and within the sunk or hollow portion of the frame A the tiles C are
laid with cement.
In casting the crown plate A in one piece it is necessary to provide against
warping or unequal contraction in the cooling of the casting by forming a pattern
with a series of ribs on the under side.
Of course it is to be understood that although I have only shown two forms
of gas cooking stoves, my improvements may be applied to a great variety of
such, and it is also to be understood that I do not confine nyself to the precise
construction as described of crown plate, as there are many other ways in which the
tiles may be arranged to form the top of crown plate.
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. In gas cooking stoves casting the crown plate in the form of a frame with
runners or supports on to which tiles are cemented or otherwise secured so as to fill
up the spaces, the surface of these tiles being flush with top of frame, substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
2. In gas cooking stoves casting the crown plate in the form of a frame with a
solid bottom, and with a lip or projecting edge running round the whole of its
sides, and filling up the sunk or hollow portion with tiles, the surface of these
tiles being flush with top of frame, substantially as and for the purposes herein-
before described and illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Dated this 15th day of June 1896.
