COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with the Ovens of Oil Cooking Stoves.
I, JANE REBECCA COOTER, Glanville Cottage, Colworth, near Bognor, Sussex,
Lady, 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 :-
The object of my invention is to obviate unnecessary handling of dishes, pastry,
joints and the like when being cooked in the ovens of oil stoves, and to enable
them to be easily turned by a mere touch. With the present draw out shelves the
fingers get burat, and the contents of the dish spilt, all of which inconveniences
can be avoided by my invention.
In carrying out my invention, I provide a support having three or more arms
made to slip into loops, or on to pins or knobs provided at the sides and back of
the oven. In the centre of this support is a small elevation or knob on which is
placed a circular plate having a cup like part in the centre which fits on the knob
in the centre of the arms, thus forming a small turn-table on which the dishes and
the like are placed, and can be rotated by simply touching the revolvable plate.
More than one set of loops, pins, projections or other arrangements may be
provided at intervals up the sides and back of the oven so that the revolvable
plate can be placed at any required height. A revolvable plate may be used at
the bottom of the oven if required, in which case a central projection may be
provided for it to turn on, no supporting arms being necessary. The arms and
plate may preferably be made of malleable iron, but may be made of any suitable
metal.
In order that my invention may be the more readily understood I make reference
to the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which,
Fig. 1. a plan of the revolvable plate.
Fig. 2. shows a plan of the supporting arms with detached sections of their
extremities.
Fig. 3. a longitudinal section.
Similar letters refer to the same parts wherever they occur.
a is the revolvable plate to carry the dishes and the like. This plate has below
its centre a cup-like cavity b working over the projection c on the centre of the
supporting arms d; d central parts of arms d. The ends of the arms d may have
underneath them cup-like cavities e to fit over projections f attached to the sides
or back of the oven, or the ends of d may be turned down as at g and elid into
loops attached to the oven. is a handle for use when removing d from a higher
to lower set of loops or projections or vice versa.
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.-
CLAIMS.
