Improvements relating to Gas Cooking and like Stoves.
We, JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and
Butler Lamp Manufacturing Company Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY
DARWIN, Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City
of Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to gas cooking and like
stoves, our object being to so arrange the grill and other burners as to permit
of more ready attachment and detachment for cleaning, repairing, and other
purposes.
In the application of our invention to a gas cooking stove of the ordinary
type in which a grill and other burners are disposed beneath the perforated top
or hot plate and the crown plate of the stove body, we employ a sliding plate,
shelf, or tray, arranged between the pair of cast iron brackets or bridges mounted
on opposite sides of the crown plate. We preferably provide the brackets or
side bridges with suitably shaped feet to engage with recesses in the crown plate,
such recesses being so formed that the feet can be readily inserted and the
bridges secured without the use of bolts, screws, or the like the plate, shelf, or
tray hereinbefore referred to serves as a distance or stiffening piece between
the bridges.
The grill and other burners are placed upon the upper surface of the sliding
plate, shelf, or tray, the ordinary circular burners with their injector tubes
being retained in position preferably by lugs projecting from the plate; the
burners, frets, and other parts forming the grill are mounted in an enclosing
casing which is preferably retained in position by lugs or projections in combi-
nation with rotatable clamping pieces.
The space between the top of the crown plate of the stove and the underside
of the sliding plate, shelf, or trap, can be utilised for the warming of dishes and
for other purposes.
The sliding plate, shelf, or tray, with the grill and other burners mounted
thereon can be readily inserted in position between the side bridges or with-
drawn therefrom for cleaning, repairing, and other purposes.

We, Joux WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and
Butler Lamp Manufacturing Company Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY
DARWIN, Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City
of Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and a.cer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to gas cooking and like
stoves, our object being to so arrange the grill and other burners as to permit
of more ready attachment and detachment for cleaning, repairing, and other
purposes.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to,―
Figure is a sectional elevation showing the upper part of a gas cooking
stove having our invention applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a plan showing the grill and other burners arranged on our sliding
shelf or tray, and showing also by dotted lines, the hot plate, crown plate, and
the supporting brackets or side bridges.
The same reference letters in the two views indicate the same parts.
In the application of our invention to a gas cooking stove of the ordinary
type in which a grill and other burners are disposed between the perforated top
or hot plate A and the crown plate B of the stove body, as shown on the draw-
ings, we employ a sliding plate, shelf, or tray, as C arranged between the pair
of cast iron brackets or bridges as D D¹ respectively mounted on opposite sides
of the crown plate B. We preferably provide the brackets of the side
bridges DD with suitably shaped feet as d, to engage with recesses in the
crown plate B, such recesses being so formed that the feet can be readily inserted
and the bridges secured without the use of bolts, screws, or the like; the plate,
shelf, or tray herein before referred to serves, when in position, as a distance or
stiffening piece between the bridges.
The grill E and other burners as F, G, and H, are placed upon the upper
surface of the sliding plate, shelf, or tray, C, the ordinary circular burners (F,G,
and H) with their injector tubes being retained in position preferably by lugs
as e projecting from the tray C; the burners, frets, and other parts forming the
grill E are mounted in an enclosing casing which is preferably retained in
position by a guard like projection & extending along all the sides of the casing,
in combination with rotatable clamping pieces as J.
The space between the top of the crown plate B of the stove and the under-
side of the sliding plate, shelf, or tray C, can be utilised for the warming of
dishes and for other purposes.
The sliding plate, shelf, or tray, with the grill and other burners mounted
thereon can be readily inserted in position between the side bridges or with-
drawn therefrom for cleaning, repairing, and other purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:-
1. In gas cooking and like stoves, the use of a sliding plate, shelf, or tray,
having the grill and other burners arranged thereon, substantially as and for
the purposes described.
2. In gas cooking and like stoves, the arrangement and combination of the

page_text: detachable upper portions of the stove, consisting of the perforated top or hot
plate A, side bridges D D with feet in detachable engagement with recesses
in the crown plate B, and sliding plate, shelf, or tray C having the grill and other
burners mounted thereon, substantially in the manner and for the purposes
described and as illustrated.
