C. WILSON;

Griddle.

No. 12,419; I Patented Feb. 20, 1855..

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

C. WILSON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

. GRIDDLE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 12,419, dated February 20, 1855.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARINGTON WILSON, of the city and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Griddles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of the same.

In order to prevent the heating of the center part before the marginal parts incident with the ordinary griddles when used over coal fires which are smaller than the griddle, I construct the center part of my griddle thicker than the marginal parts; and, for this purpose, I supply my griddle with an underflooring in the center part, as represented in the annexed drawings making part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective bottom view of my griddle; and Fig. 2 is a vertical section through the middle of the same.

a represents the underflooring (or thickened part) which is connected with or fastened to the upper floor by rivets represented at (1,, a, a, Figure 1 or by any other means convenient.

b, Fig. 2, represents a cell or span which I sometimes construct between the upper floor and the underflooring, also, to prevent the heating in the center part; and this plan I prefer, as it makes the griddle lighter and more effectually prevents the heating.

.1: represents a projecting part, cast on or attached to theunderside of the upper floor so as to surround the margin of the under flooring and. from the cell and prevent the heated air from passing into the cell direct from the fire, or the cell is formed in any other manner convenient.

What I claim as my own invention and improvement and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is

Constructing the griddle by attaching to the underside of the main plate by casting or otherwise the rim or flange 0 into which is fitted the supplementary plat-e as in such manner as to form an interveningspan or cell 72 substantially as and for thepurpose set forth. 7
