PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Open and Close Cooking Ranges.
I, HERBERT HAGUE, Brook Terrace, Belper, in the County of Derby, Modeller
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
The object of this invention is to reduce to a minimum the fitting of the side
wings and hood to the frame. As generally made lugs are cast on the sides of the
frame to receive the hood and also at the foot to receive the wings, cores having to
be used in casting the said lugs, or they have to be drilled afterwards, this as will
be readily understood entails a deal of extra fitting.
In carrying out my invention I cast on the sides of the front of the frame suitable
projections in the form of books so arranged as to dispense with the necessity of
using cores in the casting of them as has hitherto been necessary. Upon these I
hang the hood by means of the studs cast on the sides thereof for this purpose, a
hinged joint being thus formed. 1 also make an improvement in the joint of the
upper edge of the hood with the frame as follows:-The edge of the frame is
curved forwards and downwards overhanging the front of the hood while the upper
edge of the latter is curved backwards and upwards the section of the joint being
very much in the form of two reverse curves, a perfectly smoke-tight joint is thus
secured. With reference to the wings of open and close cooking ranges and fixing
the same to the frame, I cast the foot of the frame so as to leave a bearing for the
studs cast on the lower ends of the wings, the said bearings being formed by curving
the foot or bottom bar of the frame round and in front of the studs on the
wings.
Projections are cast on the back of the frame for the upper studs of the wings to
bear against.
The whole of these bearings and connections are so formed that cores are entirely
dispensed with in the casting and it will be readily understood that the parts may
be replaced at any time without any fitting whatever being required.
When the stove is fixed and requires cleaning the whole of these parts, viz. -
the two side wings and hood, may be readily and easily detached and replaced in
a few moments.
Dated this 23rd day of November 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Open and Close Cooking Ranges.
I, HERBERT HAGUE of Brook Terrace, Belper in the County of Derby,
Modeller 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 this invention is to reduce to a minimum the fitting of the side
wings and hood to the frame. As generally made lugs are cast on the sides of the
frames to receive the hood and also at the foot to receive the wings, cores having to
be used in casting the said lugs or they have to be drilled afterwards, this as will
be readily understood entails a deal of extra fitting.
Referring to the accompanying sheet of drawings and to the figures and letters
of reference marked thereon:-
Figure 1 is a side elevation shewing the hood and side wings when open.

page_text: Figure 2 is a front elevation of same.
Figure 3 is a full size section on line 'a.' 'a.'
Figure 4 is a full size elevation of the back shewing the upper joint or fitting of
the side wing with the frame.
Figure 5 is a plan on line 'b. b. shewing the lower joint of same.
Figure 6 is a back elevation and Figure 7 is a plan on line 'c.' 'c' of Figure 6,
drawn to the same scale and with the parts in the same positions as in Figures 1
and 2.
On the sides of the front of the frame A. I cast suitable projections B in the
form of hooks so as to dispense with the necessity of employing cores in the casting
as already stated, upon these I hang the hood C by means of the studs D cast on
the sides thereof a hinged joint being thus formed. I also make an improvement
in the joint of the upper edge of the hood with the frame as follows:-The edge of
the frame is curved forward and downward as at E overhanging the front of the
hood while the upper edge of the latter is curved backwards and upwards as at F
the section of the joint being in the form of two reverse curves when closed, as
shewn by dotted lines on Fig. 3. and is perfectly smoke tight. With reference to
the fixing of the wings M to the frame I cast the foot of the frame so as to leave a
bearing & for studs H cast on the lower end of the wings M, the said bearings being
formed by curving the foot or bottom bar I of the frame round and in front of the
said studs.
Projections J are cast on the back of the frame for the upper studs L of the
wings M to bear against the curved portions K also assisting in keeping them in
position.
The whole of these bearings and connections are so formed that cores are entirely
dispensed with in the casting and it will be readily understood that the parts may
be replaced without any fitting whatever being required and when the stove is fixed
and requires cleaning the side wings and hood may be easily detached and replaced
in a few moments.
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 :-
Casting the side wings hood and frame of open and close cooking ranges as and
for the purposes herein described and as illustrated by the accompanying sheet of
drawings.
