PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Double Cased or Packed Oven Doors for Cooking Stoves.
WALTER EDMUND JAQUES Hill Side Ironbridge Salop Manager do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to double cased or packed oven doors for cooking stoves.
The object being to prevent grease or other matter from working its way into or
amongst the non-conducting material encased within plates or castings forming a
double cased oven door. I do this by causing all joints of said plates or castings
to be made on the outside of oven in the manner described below. In constructing
my oven door I take a flat plate of preferably cast iron, in size a little larger than
the opening in front casting of stove having all round its edges a right or obtuse
angled flange which forms the "fitting edge" of door, on face of said plate 1 place
a projecting panel having an embossed or reversed back-side made so so as to
receive the non-conducting material beforementioned. The two being screwed
together & with the necessary hinges & latch forms the oven door.

I, WALTER EDMUND JAQUES of Hill Side, Ironbridge, in the County of Salop,
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 oven doors for cooking stoves, one object being to
prevent grease or other matter from working its way into or amongst the non-
conducting material encased between the plates or castings forming the oven door,
this access of grease and its absorption by the non-conducting material being liable
to make an unpleasant smell. The object of my invention is carried into effect by
making all the joints of said plates or castings on the outside of the oven.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved oven door,
Figure 2 a general view of the two parts of the door separated.
Referring to these figures;-
I take a flat plate A of preferably cast iron, in size a little larger than the oven
opening in front casting of stove B, having round its edges inside a right or obtuse
angled flange a, which forms the fitting edge of the door, and its front face
provided with a bead a'. C is an outside panel or plate having a rearwardly
projecting flange c abutting against the front of the inner adjacent plate A, the
hollow between these two plates being filled with non-conducting material if so
desired. The two plates are screwed together by the screws D engaging in the
bosses E on the plate A or in any other suitable manner. The hinges and latch
are fitted on in the usual way.

page_text: It will be obvious in some cases that the door may be made with two or even
more hollows, each hollow being filled if so desired with non-conducting material.
In such cases the flanges of the plate C abut against the face of the plate A,
which in its turn is provided with the rearwardly projecting flanges abutting
against a third plate with a flange or bead at the back which forms the fitting
edge of the door. In this way the door may be made of any number of plates
having their joints or abutments on the outside, in contradistinction to having
them towards or inside the oven, thus avoiding any possibility of grease or other
matter from the oven, working its way into the hollow or spaces between the
plates.
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 :-
1. The improvement in hollow oven doors for cooking ranges of that kind in
which non-conducting material is encased between two or more plates or casings
which consists in making the edges or flanges of the outer plate or plates to abut
against the front of the inner or adjacent plate or plates, whereby the abutments or
joints will be on the outside of the oven door, and grease or other matter from the
. inside of the oven is prevented from having access into or amongst the non-
conducting material in the hollow or hollows between the plates substantially as
.described..
2. Constructing oven doors whether packed or not with a non-conducting
material, of two or more plates with a hollow or space between each plate, the
rear edges or flanges of the plate or plates in front abutting against the face of the
plate or plates immediately bebind, whereby the joint or abutments of the plates
are on the outside of the door substantially as described.
3. An oven door formed of a flat plate whose edges at back form the fitting
edges of the door, and a front panel or plate whose rear edges or flanges abut
against the face of the plate immediately behind, leaving a hollow space between,
which may be filled or not as required with a non-conducting material, the two
plates being fastened together by screws or otherwise substantially as described.
4. The improved oven door for cooking stoves substantially as described and
shown in the accompanying drawings.
