PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Hanging Attachment for Fire Grates and
the like.
I, CHARLES HORACE WALL REMMETT, of 37, Harris Street, Southampton
Street, Camberwell, London, S.E., Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved appliance for suspension upon the bars of
domestic and other stoves or grates, for supporting portable ovens, plates, and other
utensils that require to be heated or kept warm, and may be for the cooking of
certain articles of food, the object of which is that the article or utensil placed
thereon may be raised or lowered as required, and retained in any position
automatically by the leverage afforded by the weight thereof, or placed nearer to
or farther from the fire as required without moving the appliance from its
attachment upon the bars.
My invention consists of a length of flat iron or other metal bent or curved until
this assumes more or less the form of the letter Ụ elongated, the free ends of which
are bent or curled so as to form hooks capable of grasping either of the bars of the
grate or stove. A second length of like metal is bent or curved in a similar way
the free ends of which are bent preferably in rectangular form and in such a
manner as to grasp the parallel sides of the first piece and slide freely thereon, so
that when the first piece is suspended upon the bars in a vertical position, the
second piece extends horizontally therefrom, and by the means of lugs formed upon
the under surface of the second piece, which bite the surfaces of the parallel sides
of the first piece the former may be thereby retained upon any part of the length
of the latter by the leverage afforded by its own weight which becomes intensified
when the article to be heated or warmed is placed thereon. A metallic or other
plate preferably slightly wider than the said horizontal piece, is placed thereon and
engages therewith, and is capable of sliding therealong, and upon this the said
article or utensil is placed and which may be thereby brought nearer to or farther
from the fire as required.
The first named bent metallic piece may be easily detached from the second so
as to economise the space needed for storing the whole, when not in use.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Hanging Attachment for Fire Grates and
the like.
I, CHARLES HORACE WALL REMMETT, of 37, Harriss Street, Southampton
Street, Camberwell, London, S.E., Engineer 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved appliance for suspension upon the bars of
domestic and other stoves or grates, for supporting portable ovens, plates, and other
utensils, that require to be heated, or kept warm, and may be for the cooking of
certain articles of food, the object of which is that the article or utensil placed

page_text: thereon may be raised or lowered as required and retained in any position
automatically by the leverage afforded by the weight thereof or placed nearer to,
or farther from the fire as require without moving the appliance from its
attachment upon the bars.
In order that my invention may be more clearly understood I have hereunto
appended a sheet of drawings in which :-
Fig. 1 is a perspective elevation of a vertical U shaped piece of flat iron or
other metal which is the portion of the apparatus to be suspended upon the top or
other bar of the grate or stove.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a second U shaped piece, which extends
horizontally from and slides vertically upon Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a perspective underside view of a sliding plate shewing the lugs by
which it is to be attached to Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a view of the complete apparatus when in use upon the bars of a grate
or stove.
My invention consists of a length of flat iron or other metal A bent or curved
until this assumes more or less the form of the letter U elongated, the free ends a. b.
of which are bent or curled so as to form hooks capable of grasping either of the
bars of the grate or stove. A second length of like metal B is bent or curved in
U shape in a similar way, the free ends c. d. of which are bent preferably in
rectangular form, and in such a manner as to grasp the parallel sides of the first
piece A, and slide freely thereon, so that when the first piece A, is suspended upon
the bars in a vertical position, the second piece B, extends horizontally therefrom,
and by the means of lugs e, f, formed upon the under surface of the second piece B,
which bite the surfaces of the parallel sides of the first piece A, the former may be
thereby retained upon any part of the length of the latter, by the leverage afforded
by its own weight which becomes intensified when the article to be heated or
warmed is placed thereon. A metallic or other plate C, decorated or otherwise of
any superficial area but preferably slightly exceeding the width of the said
horizontal piece B, is placed thereon and engages therewith, and is capable of
sliding therealong by the means of lugs g, h, k, l, and upon this the said article or
utensil containing the article to be warmed, heated or cooked would be placed, and
which may be thereby brought nearer to or farther from the fire as required by the
means of a handle D.
The manner of employing the whole as an apparatus for the purposes stated will
be clearly understood by reference to Fig. 4.
The first named bent metallic piece A and the Hat plate C, may be easily
detached from the second piece B so as to economise the space needed for storing
the whole when not in use.
Having now particularly described, and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In an improved banging attachment for fire domestic grates, and the like, the
combination of two U shaped metallic pieces A, B, the former provided with
curled or bent ends a, b, for suspending this upon the grate bars, the latter having
bent ends c, d, and lugs e, f, by which this may be suspended horizontally upon A,
and capable of sliding vertically and being retained in any position thereon, and a
rectangular or other plate C, capable of sliding horizontally upon B, by the means
of lugs g, h, k, l, the whole connected and operating substantially as herein described
and shewn by the accompanying drawings especially by that of Fig 4.
Dated this 27th day of February 1894.
