Lette/rs Patent No; 101,236, dated March 29, 1870.

BROILEB.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making pax-t of the same.

To whom it may concern:

Be it it known that we, DANIEL W. DENMAS and WILLIAM K. TILLoTsoN, of Detroit, in the county1 of rayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in' Revolving Broilers; and we do declare that the following is a true and `accurate description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being a part of this specilivication,'i1'1 which vFigure lis a vertical section of the device taken through the trunnions;

Figure 2 is a perspective of the case with the cover parti/ally turned; and

Figure 3 is a perspective of the meat-holder open for the reception of the meat to be broiled.

- Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The nature ot' this invention relates to the construction of a device for lholding and turning meat while being broiled over a lire in a cook-stove or lange, without permitting the escape of smoke or odors into the apartment.

It consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement within a suitable case of a meat-holder andrevolving cover, the case being placed on the top plate over an lopening therein, and the meat-holder and cover operated in the manner more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings- A represents a cylindrical case, whose diameter is a trifle greater than that of the larger openings in the top plates of cook-stoves and ranges.

Within and near the bottom of the case is an inverted conical ilange, a, which projectsinto the open- C is a meat-holder, formed of two circular grid-irons, preferably of iron wire, hinged to each other at d, where one of the sections is provided with a, stud, e,

'which enters the socket in the truunion b.

Ou the opposite side ofthe sections are secured the handles f, which have a square neck fitting the open channel c in the trunnion b'.

To cook a juicy, toothsome steak with this broiler, set it over a hole in the stove over a clean lire, with the convex side of the cover down, place the steak between the sections of the meat-holder, close them together, and insert the stud e and necks of the handies in the trnnnons, when, by turning the handles half around, the steakr is then over the fire, covered closely by the cover B. When it is desired to exaluine the progress of the broiling, the parts are reversed, and, if the steak be found suiiiciently cooked on one side, the holder is removed, reversed, and replaced,

and proceed as before. lhe cover, fitting snugly to the walls of the case, prevents the escape of smoke or odor-into the apartment.

A latch, ratchet, or other suitable ldevice may be set forth.

2. The meat-holder O, made in two parts hinged together, and provided with stud e and handles f, said holder revolving with the cover Bain the case in the manner described, and for the purpose speciied.
