GRinIRoNroR s'ro'vns AND musees.Y

. The Schedule referred to in these Lette'ra Patent andv making part of the sama.

To all whom 'it may concerif: `Be it known that I, J OSIAH M. READ, of Boston,

l Suffolk county, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented certain neiv` and nseful Improvements in Gridirons for Stoves and Ranges; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specication.

'lphe natnre or essence ,of my invention consists in the use or application of some arms 0r lugs projecting Upward from the gridiron, to hold and support it in the boiler-hole of a stove or range.

. Gridirons for stoves and ranges have heretofore been made so that'to usethem it was necessary to remove both the covers and the middle or bridge-bar between them, uncoveringr and "dnlling the,:ire,-and allowing the cold air to reduce the `temperature Vof the oven and retard the baking. t

. To remedy the inconvenience and defects mentioned is the object of my improvements, which I effect by making my gridiron so that I` can insert it over the tire` with` its charge of meat, by removing a single coverfrorn a boilerhole in the stove or range.

In the accompanying drawing- Y Figures 1 and 2, my improved. gridiron is represented.

In this drawing- A A are the end bars, connected-by a series of' Astraight bars, B` B, and the two side bars C C, which are bent near the front end in the form shown in the-` drawing, to form lugs or arms, D D, projecting np- .l

ward and turned ontward toward the top, as shown in fig. 2.

, The ontcr ends of these arms are intended to rest on the sides of the boiler-hole to support the gridiron, *while the lng or bracket 'E is drawn back under the top plate of the stove to hold up the rear end of the gridiron which extends back over the'iire.

lhe two 'middle bars B B are made to extend out in front of the front bar A, and are bent up and turned oli', as shown at l, to form a handle to the gridiron.

By the use of the above-described devices the gridiron is held between the re and the top of the stove or covers, Awhich adapts it to toasting bread as well as broiling meat.

What I claimY as my invention and improvement in gridironsfor stoves and ranges is he combination, `with the two fingers the stove-plate, prevents the opposite end of the gridiron from sinking, substantially as described.
