" IN BURNERS FOR GAS COOKING STOVES
Year: 1884

page_text: We JOHN FREDERIC WRIGHT and GEORGE ERNEST WRIGHT both of Essex'
Works Broad Street Birmingham in the County of Warwick Gas Stove Manu-
facturers do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
"
IN BURNERS FOR GAS COOKING STOVES to be as follows:-
Our invention has reference to those burners of gas cooking stoves by which
grilling broiling toasting and boiling are effected and has for its object to render
the same more convenient of application to the several purposes for which they aro
used.
We make the burner tubular and with a longitudinal diaphragm or division
running through its whole length and dividing it into two semi tubular chambers
thus making it a double burner. On each side of the burner and in the same or nearly
the same horizontal plane as that in which the diaphragmn is situated is a projecting
plate having a breadth about equal to the breadth of the burner. Each of the two
parts of the double burner is independent of the other and can be used either in
conjunction with or independently of the other the upper burner we prefer to
make of a semi cylinder perforated with holes in the ordinary way and the lower
burner we prefer to make nearly wedge shape that is with plane sides inclining
towards one another downwards..
The bottom of the lower burner consists of a horizontal plate fixed at a short
distance below the bottom edges of the sides of the burner thus leaving a long slit
on each side of the bottom of the burner out of which slits the gas to be burned
passes. We do not limit. ourselves to the particular shapes of the burners which
we have described.
The upper burner is especially suited for boiling and the lower burner for
broiling grilling and toasting When the lower burner is in use the sheets of flame
issuing from the bottom on each side ascend the inclined sides of the burner and
impinging on the horizontal plates described spread horizontally thus forming a
nearly horizontal sheet of flame the downward heat radiated from which is
especially suited for broiling grilling and toasting.

Broad Street Birmingham Gas Stove Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature
of our invention for IMPROVEMENTS. IN BURNERS FOR GAS COOKING STOVES and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our invention has reference to those burners of Gas Cooking Stoves by which
grilling, broiling, toasting and boiling are effected, and has for its object to render
the same more convenient of application to the several purposes for which they are
used. We make the burner tubular and with a longitudinal diaphragm or division
running through its whole length and dividing it into two semi-tubular chambers,
thus making it a double burner. On each side of the burner and in the same or
nearly the same horizontal plane as that in which the diaphragm is situated is a
projecting plate having a breadth about equal to the breadth of the burner, Each
of the two parts of the double burner is independent of the other and can be used
either in conjunction with or independently of the other; the upper burner we
prefer to make of the figure of a semi-cylinder perforated with holes in the ordinary
way and the lower burner we prefer to make nearly wedge shape, that is, with
plane sides inclining towards one another downwards. The bottom of the lower
burner consists of a horizontal plate fixed at a short distance below the bottom
edges of the sides of the burner, thus leaving a long slit on each side of the bottom
of the burner out of which slits the gas to be burned passes. We do not limit
ourselves to the particular shapes of the burners which we have described. The
upper burner is especially suited for boiling and the lower burner for broiling,
grilling, and toasting. When the lower burner is in use the sheets of flame
issuing from the bottom on each side ascend the inclined sides of the burner and
impinging on the horizontal plates described spread horizontally, thus forming a
nearly horizontal sheet of flame, the downward heat radiated from which is
especially suited for broiling grilling & toasting.
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 The division of the Burners into two parts by the insertion of a Diaphragm as
described above.
2 The formation of a Gas Burner for the purpose of deflecting Heat by means of
a Horizontal plate attached at a short distance from the edges of the sides
of the burner as described above.
