I ALEXANDER FREEMAN EMPRY of 27 Freeman Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Gas Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows
My invention consists of a moveable burner or burners running through or across
the stove which burner or burners are capable of being raised and lowered at will
above and below corrugated deflector plates, by means of a sliding rod or handle
The action is thus,
Between deflector plates which are stationery (but which are so fixed as to allow
of expansion and contraction) runs the tube burner or hurners above mentioned,
When
which tube burner or burners are perforated at intervals for the gas flame
the burner is in its normal position which it will be when grilling or toasting is
required the flame will play underneath the deflector plates against corrugated bars
which are fixed below the deflector plates or top of stove
When the stove is required for boiling purposes the burner is raised by means
of a sliding rod or handle running underneath the burner when the flame will
plav above the deflector plates, and directly upon the kettle or other cooking utensil
placed over it
The moveable burner is disconnected with the air chamber and works in slots in
the sides of the stove The air chamber through which the supply of gas passes
being a fixture to the stove the moveable burner works separately and independently
of the air chamber but allows of a direct supply of gas to the burner without the
course of the gas being diverted in its passage thereto

page_text: I ALEXANDER FREEMAN EMFRY of 27 Freeman Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Gas 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, reference being had to the accom-
panying Drawings and to the letters and figures marked thereon
-
My invention consists of a movable burner or burners running through or across
the stove which burner or burners are capable of being rused and lowered at will,
above and below deflector plates corrugated or otherwise by means of sliding rod
or handle, or the rod may have a turning or lifting action
The action is thus-
Between deflector plates which are stationery (but which are also fixed as to
allow of expansion and contraction) runs the tube burner or burners above mentioned
which tube burner or burners are perforated at intervals for the gas flame
When the burner is in its normal position which it will be when grilling or toasting is
required the flame will play underneath the deflector plates against coringated
bars which are fixed below the deflector plates or top of stove
When the stove is required for boiling purposes the burner is raised by means
of a sliding rod or handle running underneath the burner, when the flame will
play above the deflector plates and directly upon the kettle or other cooking utensil
placed over it
The movable burner is disconnected with the an chamber and works in slots in the
sides of the stove
The air chamber through which the supply of gas pisses being a fixture to the
stove the movable burner works separately and independently of the air chamber,
but allows of a direct supply of gas to the burner, without the course of the gas
being diverted in its passage thereto
Or the air chamber may be attached to the burner moving up and down with it
Referring to the Drawings in which similar letters of reference relate to similar
parts
Fig 1 is the top of the stove, Fig 2 a section through the stove shewing the
burner (a) in position for grilling or toasting and Fig 3 a section through the stove
shewing the burner (a) in a position for boiling, both sections being taken on
lines (x)
(bb) are the deflector plates which are not raised or lowered in this
invention but are loosely fixed to allow of expansion and contraction (a) is the tube
burner perforated with holes for the escape of the flame kept in place by the
chamber (a) which confine the tube only allowing it to be raised and lowered
tube burner (a) is fed by the jet (d) Fig 1 passing through the air chamber (e) and
so arranged as to play into the tube burner (a)-whether lowered as at Fig 2 or
ת.

The

page_text: Figs 2 and 3 shew one way in which the tube burner (a) may be raised and
lowered by a sliding rod (f) this rod (f) has upon it a snug (9) formed so
lowered by a sliding rod (ped for in the mug (2) forme
beneath the tube (a) and raise it and hold it up
Figs 4 and 5 are sections of the top of the stove on lines (z 2) shewing that the
tube burner (a) may be raised by a lifting motion (1) being a section of a lifting
rod with a snug or projecting Ley piece (h) upon it so that a partial turn of the
rod (f) will bring the snug or projecting key piece (h) under the tube (a) and raise
it as shewn in Fig 5
I do not confine myself to the particular mode of raising the tube illustrated as
it 18 obvious that this may be accomplished in a variety of ways
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
Constructing gas cooking stoves with movable burners capable of being raised
and lowered above and below deflector plates or the upper surface of the stove
