I, GEORGE WINSOR COURTIER, 3 Summerfield Terrace, Torquay, in the County of
Devon, Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists principally in the construction of an oven, which is capable
of extension.
.
Within the oven I place a casing of suitable material, which is provided in front, or
behind, or at one side, with a rim stout enough to hold the oven door. The casing is
not continued on the side on which the oven door is. The oven is so constructed that
this casing can be pulled or pushed out, wholly or partially, and supported, if desired,
on rests. The door hinges and catch are attached to the rim of the casing. Therefore
when the casing is drawn out, the oven is enlarged.
+
The furnace employed may be open or closed. At the top of the ash pit beneath
the furnace is a sifter to collect the cinders.
The oven door is closed in preference by a bolt.
I do not claim any improvement in the construction of the boiler and flues.

page_text: I, GEORGE WINSOR COURTIER 3, Summerfield Terrace, Torquay, in the County of
Devon, Builder 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 consists in the construction of an oven attached to an ordinary kitchen
range, which oven is capable of extension.
Within an oven of ordinary construction I place a casing of iron, open at the front
and back. The front is furnished with a rim stout enough to hold the oven door and
catch. When this casing or inner oven is within the outer oven, the appearance
presented is that of an ordinary oven. When it is desired to enlarge the oven, the
inner oven can be drawn out a great part of its length. Two rests are inserted in the
range beneath the oven, which can also be drawn out to support the inner oven when
extended. If it is desired the open ends of both ovens can be at the back of the range,
or at the side remote from the fire, the extension being practicable in the direction of
the door end only.
To show more clearly how my invention is carried into effect, I furnish drawings in
which similar letters represent corresponding parts in all the figures. In all these
drawings the figures represent the oven extensible in front of the range.
Fig. 1 is a view of the range with the inner oven extended.
Fig. 2 is a view of the extended oven with a side of the outer oven broken away.
Fig. 3 is a plan of the oven extended.
Fig. 4 is a plan showing the inner oven within the outer oven, but with the rests
drawn out.
A is the frame of the inner oven.
B B are the rests.
C is the rim on the front edge of the inner oven overlapping the edges of the
outer oven.
D is the frame of the outer oven continuous all round except in front or at the back
or at the side where the oven is extensible.
E is the oven door.
FF the hinges on the rim for the door.
G is a bolt to fasten the oven door.
H is the staple on the rim for the bolt.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
An extensible oven substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
