PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Kitchen Ranges, Stoves, and the like.
We, JOHN MAIN, Foundry Manager, with the Firm of Messis Kinnaird &
Ferguson, of 41 and 43, Cavendish Street, in the City of Glasgow, Ironfounders
and Range Manufacturers, and Mrs JANET KINNAIRD, Sole partner of said firm,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows,-
-
This invention which relates to kitchen ranges, stoves and the like has for its
object the simplification of the parts constituting the hood in an open and close
fire, whereby the opening and closing of said hood 18 rendered easier and less
liable to get out of order
In carrying out the invention we provide a hood constructed in the usual box
form and arranged to slide upon the hob of the range or stove and within an
opening on the upper side of this hood we fit the usual pivoted flap or falling door
arranged to cover said opening This flap or door instead of being pivoted as is
usual upon or in the hood is pivoted in a central standard secured on the back
strap of the hob approximately in the same plane as the back cove plate The flap
is arranged to be raised or lowered according as the range is opened or closed
by the action upon it of a series of studs or projections on the vertical walls of the
hood, the raising and lowering action being due to the travel of the hood whilst
the flap is held by its pivot pins in a stationary bearing
