PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Portable Gas Oven with Boiling and Grilling Attachment.
I, ROBERT BAILLIE MAIN, of the Firm of R. & A. Main, Gas Cooking and
Heating Apparatus Manufacturers, 27 Park Street, Kinning Park, Glasgow, and
92 Aldersgate Street, London, E.C., do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object to provide a portable gas oven adapted to
be fitted on the hob of an ordinary kitchen range and having a convenient attach-
ment for boiling and grilling to be used when the coal fire of the range is not lit.
The gas oven may be of ordinary form and suitably cased to retain heat; and
it is formed with feet or similarly adapted to stand upon the hob of the range
over the range oven or boiler. On one side of the oven a gas supply pipe is
attached and has a branch pipe jointed to it at right angles so as to be capable of
folding up against the side of the oven or down over the coal fire place or on
to the fire cover of the range, the said folding pipe having Bunsen burners
branching from it under a fret or frame secured to it or separately hinged to the
oven and adapted to be folded up or down with the pipe and burners. When
no coal fire is in use the fret or frame is folded down over the range fire grate
and boiling or grilling operations may be conducted by turning on and lighting
the gas fire or burners carried thereon; and when the gas fire is no longer needed
the gas fire fret is folded up against the side of the oven and there held by means
of a catch. The gas pipe which supplies the burners of the boiler or griller has
a branch led from it to heat up the oven.

page_text: The Invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 being a
front elevation, and Figure 2 a plan of the improved portable gas oven with the
boiling and grilling attachment in a position to be used. Figure 3 is an end
elevation shewing the boiling and grilling attachment turned up into the position
it is intended to occupy when not in use.
The gas oven A may be of ordinary form and suitably cased to retain heat;
and it is formed with feet B or similarly adapted to stand upon the hob of the
range over the range oven or boiler. On one side of the oven A a gas supply
pipe B is attached and has a branch pipe C jointed to it at right angles so as
to be capable of folding up against the side of the oven A or down over the
coal fire place or on to the fire cover of the range, the said folding pipe C having
Bunsen burners D, E, branching from it under a fret or frame F secured to it
or separately hinged to the oven A and adapted to be folded up or down with
the pipe C and burners, D, E. When no coal fire is in use the fret or frame
is folded down over the range fire grate and boiling or grilling operations may
be conducted by turning on and lighting the gas fire or burners D, E, carried
thereon; and when the gas fire is no longer needed the gas fire fret F is folded
up against the side of the oven A and there held by means of a catch G. The
gas pipe C which supplies the burners of the boiler or griller has a branch H
led from it to heat up the oven A.
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:-
The improved portable gas oven adapted to stand upon a range hob and provided
with grilling and boiling attachment to be folded against the side thereof or
over the fire place of the range substantially as described.
