PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Portable Grill for Oil and Gas Stoves, Ranges, and like
purposes.
I, WILLIAM NOTTINGHAM of 11 Fairmount Road, Brixton Hill, London
Stores Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a double gridiron hinged at bottom, and fixed in a
sloping position, with a metal tray or enclosure around same, and a removable
cover above.
The enclosure consists of a horizontal bottom plate which is usually plain but
may be perforated if preferred. Rising from this bottom plate is the vertical
enclosure low in front to the lower part of the gridiron, and high behind, with
sloping sides so as to conform to the slope of the grill.
The cover fits over and completes same when not required for use.
The back can be left open or constructed to open, when the grill is intended for
use in front of a coal fire.
A small trough is arranged inside to receive the drip.
The grill can be used over an ordinary oil stove or gas fire, or in front of or
above a coal fire.
When placed in position with the cover removed the front of the gridiron is
turned down and the meat introduced. The gridiron is then turned back over the
meat and the cooking effected.

A Portable Grill for Oil and Gas Stoves, Ranges, and like
purposes.
I, WILLIAM NOTTINGHAM of 11 Fairmount Road, Brixton Hill, London,
Stores Manager, 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 consists of a double gridiron hinged at bottom, and fixed in a
sloping position, with a metal tray or enclosure around same and a removable cover
above.
The grill in its usual form consists of a horizontal bottom plate which is generally
plain but may be perforated if preferred.
Rising from this bottom plate is the vertical enclosure, low in front to the lower
part of the gridiron, and high behind to its higher part with sloping sides so as to
conform to the slope of the grid which occupies the surface of the case or
enclosure.
The cover fits over and completes same when required for use.

A small trough is arranged inside or outside the front to receive the drip.
The grill can be used over an ordinary oil stove, or-gas fire, or in front of or
above a coal fire.
I will now describe the invention with reference to the accompanying drawings
in which
Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of my portable grill with the front cover in
position for cooking.
Fig. 2 shows a similar view with the cover removed to shew the interior grill.
a is the outer casing of triangular elevation containing the sloping double
grids b b'.
The grid 61 is fixed, and bis hinged thereto at c and each is provided at its
upper end with a loop d, d¹. Hooks are also provided at the top of b from which
the meat will hang down between the grills b, b'.
When in use the cover e is slipped over the open front, thus enclosing the meat
to be cooked. A trough, is provided in front of casing a to catch the gravy —
a handle g is also provided to carry the whole conveniently.
When placed in position with the cover e removed the front of the gridiron is
turned down and the meat introduced between the bars or hung on the hooks.
The gridiron is then turned back over the meat and the cover replaced. The
cooking is then effected, by placing the grill in front of a fire or over a range, or
upon a gas fire, or oil stove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is;
1. A portable grill consisting of a double grid sustained in a sloping position by
a case or enclosure of metal or other suitable material, said case being fitted with a
portable cover to enclose said grid when employed in cooking and with a trough to
receive drip, and being also fitted with a door, or doors at back, or left open behind
as may be desired.
Dated this 28th day of January 1896.
