Improvements in and relating to Cooking Grid and Hot Plates.
1, GEORGE BELL WADDELL, of No. 110, John Street, Glasgow, in the County
of the City of Glasgow, Scotland, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to make the grid, or grill plate capable, when
out of use, of being folded up from the hot-plate or range cover or top, so as to
allow free space for placing utensils or working thereon.
According to my invention the grid or grill-plate is made jointed to the hot-
plate, or when there is no hot-plate, a device for fixing to range cover or top.
When heated by gas, one or more boiling, grid or deflecting gas burners is or
may be affixed to the grid-plate and fold up therwith; the gas pipe having a
movable joint allowing thereof.

I, GEORGE BELL WADDELL, of No. 110, John Street, Glasgow, in the County
of the City of Glasgow, Scotland, Manufacturer, 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 said invention has for its object to make the grid or grill plate capable
when out of use of being folded up from the hot-plate or range cover or top, so as
to allow free space for placing utensils or working thereon.
And in order that the invention may be properly understood I have annexed
the accompanying sheet of drawings whereon the grill or grid plate a is shown in
elevation folded down ready for use, and in dotted lines folded up so as to clear
range top ready to work or place utensils on.
As constructed according to my said invention the grid or grill plate a is made
jointed to two standards b fixed in hot plate c, or when there is no hot plate c the
standards b may be bolted direct into the cover or top of range. Otherwise the
grill plate a and standards 6 may be fixed rigidly together and the legs or stan-
dards 6 hinged at foot to range top or hot plate c. The grid or grill plate a may
be so jointed to top of range or hot-plate c as to fold back or forwards or sideways.
The grid a when in use is heated by gas, and has under it a boiling burner e and

a deflecting burner 9 (obviously it may have any other number or kind) fixed to
the gas supply pipe i which is jointed concentrically with grid a joint, as shown
in plan at Fig. 2 which is shown in part represented as cut out of standard b.
From back of standard b projects a horn m on which the end of grid a rests
when said grid is folded up as shewn in dotted lines. The other end of grid
plate a has hinged or jointed at n a strut o which said strut is held upright in
position at right angles to grid a when grid is in use by the movable holder r;
or the grid a may be upheld by any other suitable device, and have a retaining
spring or catch to keep it in desired position to support the grid a.
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:
1st. In a cooking device the combination of a folding up or movable grid or
grill plate a, the supports 6 or hot-plate c, and a jointed or flexible gas supply
pipe i, all substantially as and for the purpose described and shown.
2nd. In a cooking device the combination of a folding up or movable grid
or grill plate a with supports b or a hot plate e, substantially as and for the
purpose set forth.
