I, EDWARD GLEESON, of 21, Christchurch Place, Dublin, in the County of
Dublin, Ironmonger, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to kitchen ranges and the like and it has for its object
to provide improved means whereby the fire can be raised so as to be brought
closer up to the under side of the cooking utensils.
To that end I pivot the rear end of the fire grate bottom upon pivots formed on
the side of the fire place the under side of said grate bottom being acted upon
when it is desired to raise the fire, by wypers formed on or secured on a horizontal
bar also pivoted in the side plate of the fire place. A socket piece secured to the
bar carrying the wypers projects towards the front and between the ribs of
the fire grate into which a poker or other fire iron is inserted in order to raise the
fire, the wypers being of such form as will support the fire grate bottom in the
raised position without the aid of a rack and pawl.
In order that the fire grate bottom may be readily removed, the upper portion
of one of the side plates of the fire grate which fits over and forms the upper por-
tion of the socket for the grate is capable of being lifted out of its place.

Improvements in Kitchen Ranges and the like.
I, EDWARD GLEESON, of 21, Christchurch Place, Dublin, in the County of
Dublin, Ironmonger, 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 kitchen ranges and the like and it has for its object
to provide improved means whereby the fire can be raised so as to be brought
close up to the under side of the cooking utensils.
As illustrated by the accompanying drawings Figure 1 of which is a trans-
verse vertical section of the range and Figure 2 a longitudinal elevation of the
range with the front plates removed, I pivot the rear end of the fire grate
bottom A in sockets B formed on the sides C of the fire place D the under side of
' 037

page_text: said fire grate bottom A being acted upon when it is desired to raise the fire, by
wypers formed on or secured on a horizontal bar E pivoted at 1 in the side
plates C of the fire place. A socket piece E2 secured to the bar E carrying the
wypers E projects towards the front and beneath or between the ribs & of
the fire grate into which a poker or other fine iron is inserted in order to raise the
fire, the wypers E¹ being of such form as will support the fire grate bottom in
the raised position without the aid of a rack and pawl.
In order that the fire grate bottom A may be readily removed, the upper por-
tion C¹ of one of the side plates C of the fire grate which fits over and forms the
upper portion of the sockets or pivots B for the grate bottom A is capable of being
lifted out of its place.
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
In kitchen ranges and the like a movable grate bottom constructed and
arranged substantially as described.
