842,648. Cooking-stoves. ELEKTROLUX A.B. Feb. 15, 1957 [March 1, 1956], No. 5233/57. Classes 39(3) and 126. A cooking stove comprises a casing supporting two sources of heat adjustable into one position wherein one heat source is at a higher level than the other and into another position wherein both heat sources are located so as to be substantially coincident. As shown, a stove comprises two side walls 11, a base plate 12 and an intermediate bottom plate 13, and a rear wall 14 slightly in front of which is two-part partition wall constituted by a stationary member 15 and a vertically movable member 17 which may be raised and lowered by means of a chain 19. The upper part of the member 15 carries a stationary electric heating element 23, which forms a hotplate, and the upper part of the movable member 17 carries a heating element 24 which in its uppermost position nests into the element 23 to form a common hotplate. Ledges 25 on the inner faces of the side walls 11 may support an oven chamber formed by two pans 26, 27. The space between wall 14 and the member 15 may contain electric conductors connected to the heating elements, and the space between the base plate 12 and the intermediate plate 13 may contain members for regulating the operation of the stove. The stove may be used simultaneously for baking in the oven 26, 27 boiling or frying on the hotplate 23 and grilling below the element 24. By raising the movable element 24 to its uppermost position, an increased heating effect is obtained for boiling &c. above the common hotplate and grilling below it.
