We, FREDERICK HOLGATE of 14 Hattersley Street, Burnley, in the County of
Lancaster, Millwright and CHARLES Fox of Bank House, Burnley, aforesaid,
Secretary Building Society do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
[
This Invention relates to an improved oven or cooking appliance to be used in
front of the grate bars of a range" of the ordinary or open grate pattern and
which is detachable, the object being to secure more economical cooking than by the
side ovens as usually employed.
According to this our Invention we suspend in front of and covering the outside of
the fire bars so as to exclude the passage of air, save underneath the grate, the said
plate forming the back of the Oven. Hinged to the foot of the plate referred to is
another plate forming the bottom of the Oven, a plate hinged to the top of the first
mentioned plate forms the top of the Oven, there being end and front plates, the whole
forming a square or rectangular Oven or receptacle for cooking. The hinged bottom
by means of a ratchet and holding hook enables this plate to be raised and inclined
towards the back of the Oven and fire. The hinged top admits of that plate being
folded back on to the top of the fire whereby it may be speedily heated and also for
purpose of admitting of the Oven's top being covered by a smaller cooking Oven
or being covered by a Cooking tray, there being also small brackets on the inside
which support movable plates or screens on which articles to be cooked may rest. The
top plate of the Oven has one or more slots cut therein along which the shanks of hooks
provided with heads may be slided, so as to bring the chops, steaks &c. suspended
on the hooks into position within the Oven. The central slot, when the hooks
screens &c. are removed from the Oven, serves for the passage and rotation of a hook
in connection with a "Jack," when cooking a "joint," fowls, &c. The outer front
Plate is as will be understood provided with a hinged or sliding door so as to afford
inspection of contents of the Oven.

Improvements in Cooking Appliances.
We FREDERICK HOLGATE of 14 Hattersley Street, Burnley in the County of
Lancaster, Millwright, and CHARLES Fox of Bank House Burnley aforesaid
Secretary Building Society, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved oven, or cooking appliance to be used in
front of the grate bars of a range of the ordinary or open grate pattern, and which
is detachable, the object being to secure more economical cooking than by the side
ovens as usually employed.
According to this our invention we suspend in front of and covering the outside
of the fire bars a plate so as to exclude the passage of air save underneath the grate
the said plate forming the back of the oven, which plate is made of iron or other
metal to protect the back of the oven. The bottom plate of the oven is by means of
a rod and holding hook lowered or raised, and inclined towards the back of the
oven, and to the fire. There are also small brackets on the inside which support
moveable plates or screens on which articles to be cooked are placed. The top plate
of the oven has one or more slots cut therein along which the shanks of hooks
provided with T heads may be slided so as to bring the chops, steaks &c. suspended
on the hooks in position for cooking. The central slot when the hooks, screens &c.,
are removed from the oven serves for the passage, and rotation of a hook in connection
with a
"jack" for cooking a "joint" fowls &c.
The oven is as will be understood provided with a door, so as to afford inspection
of the contents.
On the top of the oven are also slides or hinges, on which we may fix another,
and smaller oven.
Such being the nature and object of the said invention the following is a completo
description of same reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part
of this specification in which
Fig. 1 is a side elevation of our improved cooking appliances.
Fig. 2 is a side view of same in section the " jack" being shewn outside.
Fig. 3 is a section of oven having cage inside same, and rotated from outside by
means of clockwork, or other mechanical contrivance.
Fig. 4 is a plan view of top of the oven shewing the slots drawn to enlarged scale.
According to this our said invention we suspend in front of and covering the
outside of the fire bars 1 a plate 2, so as to exclude the passage of air save underneath
the grate and also to protect the oven 3, which is suspended by hooks 4 to the top
bar 1 of the grate, the said plate 2, forming the back of the oven 3. The bottom
plate or cooking tin 5 of the oven 3 is by means of a rod 6 and holding hook 7
lowered or raised and inclined towards the back of the oven and to the fire. There
are also small end brackets 8 on the inside which support moveable plates or screens 9

page_text: on which articles to be cooked may rest. The top plate of the oven has slots 10 cut
therein along which the shanks of hooks 11 provided with T heads 12 may be slided
so as to bring the chops, steaks &c. suspended on the hooks 11 into position within
the oven 3. a plate may be slided on the top, so as to cover the slots if necessary.
The central slot 10 when the hooks 11 screens 9 &c. are removed from the oven 8
" 18
serves for the passage and rotation of a hook 12 in connection with a "jack
when cooking a "joint" fowls &c.
On the top of the oven 3 is a sliding or hinged bar 15 on which may be fixed a
smaller oven 3ª the said bar 15 carrying the oven 3ª can be slided over the fire, the
heat and smoke therefrom passing under the oven 3ª, and by the flue 18, (in which
are a series of vanes to prevent the heat escaping too rapidly) at the back, and escaping
by the chimney 17 on the top, following the direction indicated by the arrows, the
chimney 17 is made with a joint so that the same can be folded on the top of the
oven 3 when not in use.
In Fig. 3. is shewn a section of oven inside of which is a carrying frame or
cage 19 having sliding hooks 20 for holding the chops, steaks, &c. to be cooked,
this cage or frame 19 is turned by means of bevel wheels 21-21, connected with a
clockwork appliance 21 or any convenient going power attached to the outside of
the oven 3.
The ovens 3 may also be heated by gas (see Fig. 3) wherein any of the ordinary
gas jets such as 22 may be introduced under the oven 3 in lieu of heat obtained by
coal, or for the purpose of additional heat.
The outer front plate is as will be understood provided with a hinged or sliding
door 14 so as to afford inspection of contents of oven 3.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be employed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
23
1. Cooking appliances constructed and applied as described, and whereby the
"jack
can be suspended outside the oven whilst operating or turning, meat,
chops, &c. inside the same, and as illustrated by annexed drawings.
2. The carrying frame or cage 19, oven such as 3, and turning or operating
mechanical contrivance such as 21 all in combination, and as herein described and
as illustrated by annexed drawings.
Dated this 21st day of October 1887.
