BURTON RICHARD PHILLIPSON, Engineer, of 10 Lower Baggot Street Dublin
and SAMUEL HUDSON PILLAR, Ironmonger of 10 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin
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 :-
As described in our Provisional Specification No. 11277 1894 we construct a
case of rectangular or other suitable form of sheet or cast metal or a combination
of both, the top side is made of two or more parts and provided with an open
for kettle saucepan or other cooking vessel as shown in drawing A and so
arranged that the said opeu cau be enlarged by removing one or more of the
portions forming top so as to leave space for the reception of gridiron oven or
larger cooking vessel.
At the exterior of one side of said case we place an oil lamp B, such as used for
burning petroleum oil under air pressure, the burner of which lamp is directed
through side of case into suitable burner nozzle C fixed to side of said case by
rivets, bolts, or screws, said nozzle being shaped to receive the burner at exterior
end, while reverse end is shaped in a flat oval so as to spread the flame as wide as
possible, by this means when lamp is burning the flame is directed in a horizontal
position across the inside of chamber or case and directly beneath gridiron or
cooking vessel placed on or suspended from top of said case, while lamp is protected
from grease falling from cooking meat or heat radiated from flame, by being placed
at exterior side of said case.
Beneath the gridiron and placed on interior of bottom of case or supports
attached to sides of same we provide a vessel to catch fat or grease which may fall
from cooking meat.

page_text: On the exterior side of case and attached to same beneath burner nozzle we
place a metal cup D to hold spirits of wine for heating burner of lamp when same
is about to be put in use, instead of having it attached to the lamp itself as is
now the practice. We use an oven of sheet metal constructed with a flue round
three or more sides of same as shown in drawing E, this we provide with metal
projections to fit into open in top of case so as to retain it in its place, while at the
same time the flame of burner can strike the bottom and the heat travel round the
sides of the oven in the flues, one side of said flue being formed by side of oven
the other by outer metal case.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is
1. The use of a gridiron in conjunction with a mineral oil stove substantially as
described.
2. The use of a burner nozzle constructed so as to give a large flame surface,
attached to case substantially as described.
3. The use of a spirit cup attached to case substantially as described..
4. The use of an oven in conjunction with a petroleum stove working under air
pressure substantially as described.
Dated this the 3rd day of April 1895.
