OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
GRID OR GRILL.
' Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 5, 1921;
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY PRICE BALL, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the borou h of Brooklyn, county of Kings, city and tate of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Grid or Grill, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to devices on which steaks, chops or the'like may be broiled or grilled, and more particularly to such a device which may be employed in connection with a heating device employing aclohol' as a fuel,-such as is illustrated and; described in the copending application for patent executed on even date herewith, but it is to be understood that the device of the invention may, in whole or in parts, be employed in connection with other-forms of fuel and with or without the use of astove or lamp.
The objects of the invention are to provide a device of the character described in which the heat will be evenly distributed over the surface; which may be in sections thereby promoting portability, the surface of which may be extended; in which leakage between the sections will be prevented; which will be cheap to construct and install;
7 in which the greases andjuices produced by ceeking may be collected and saved; and whichwillnmt getout oforder.v
These and further objects will more fully appear in the following specification and accompanying drawings considered'together or separately. 7
The invention is designed primarily for dining and bufi'et cars, but it is to be understood that it maybe employed-in other situations. p
One embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which like parts" in all-of the several figures are designated by' similar characters of-reference, and in which-e v Figure 1 is a top plan view of the grid or grill constructedin accordance with the invention. I
.Fig: 2 is asect-ion on the'line 2--2 of Fi 1.
ig. 3 is a section on the line 3+3 of Fi 1 1.
%ig. 4 is a bottom"plan view of a grid or grill secti'on,-and
Fig; 5 is a section on the line- 5-5 of F ig; 4.- i
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated l designates a hearth which may be composed of brick, tiling or the like, and 2 the side walls of the cooking compartment which may be of similar material. Arranged on each side wall is a series of rails 3 on which is supported as by means of rollers 4, a frame 5 in which rests a pair of grill members 6 and 7.
Each grill member comprises a front rail 8 and a back rail 9. The height of'the back rail 9 is greater than that of the front rail 8. Therails are connected by a' plate 10 formed of parallel plications extending from the backrail 9 to a point within a short distance from the front railS That portion of the plate 10 between the front ends of the plications and the front rail lies below the level of the plications to form a trough 12 between the plicated portion of the plate and the front rail.
The tops of the plications of the plate are on the levels of the tops of the rails 8 and 9, and consequently the plate 10 is higher at the back than at the front and the grooves formed by the plications will drain tothe front and into the trough 12. The bottom of the trough 12 is higher 'at one end than at the other and the lower end of the trough is provided with a drain opening 13, as shown, whereby fluids drained from the plate 10 will be discharged at one corner of the grill into a cup or other receptacle placed beneath the opening 13,
and may be saved. V
The frame 5 comprises end members, by which the rollers 4 are carried, and. a front member 14 and a backmember 15. The front and back members are provided with flanges on which the rails 8 and Q'rest where by the grill member issupported in the frame.
The grill-member ispreferably composed of cast iron and: the plications appear on both sides thereof whereby a light andeasily handled structure will be produced. At one complete butpresents a downturned ledge 17. The latter ledge may, and preferably does, engage over the end member of the frame'5 asshown. v v r Preferably the gr1ll members are used in side of the member the plication is 'inc om pairs with the ledge 16 of one overlapping the ledge 15 of the other, whereby a covered joint between the members is produced and leakage between them prevented. hen the grill members are used in pairs the troughs 12 incline in opposite directions.
from the oint between the members, and the drain openings 13 will be at opposite sides of the hearth and in proximity to the side walls 2 of the compartment, and the drip cups will not interfere with stoves or other heating medium carried onthe hearth. and beneath the grill members.
In order to provide for a more equalized distribution of heat over the surface of the grill, the valleys on the underside of the grill are obliterated in part, at least whereby the plate is thickened, as at 18, and the increased mass of metal in the thickened portion or portions and the greater conductivity of heat by such portion, together with the relatively small radiating surface of the thickened portions, will more evenly distribute the heat. and to a greater distance from the directly heated portion, than will the relatively thin metal of the majorpon tion of the plate. The greater conductivity of the portions 18 will also prevent the plate from becoming unduly heated at the point or points directly over the source, or sources, of heat, and will prevent warping of the plate.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in which the stove or burner above mentioned is preferably employed as the heating medium, four thickened zones are shown, each comprising a circular portion beneath which a fuel receptacle is positioned, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, and with a tail radiating to a corner of the grill. It is to be understood that as many portions 18 as there are sources of heat used may be employed, or a single thickened portion having a plurality of radiating tails may be used.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes the principle of the invention, together with what is now considered to be the best embodiment thereof, have been described, but it is to be understood that the apparatus described is merely illustrative, and that the invention may be can ,ried out in other ways.
The invention having been described what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is A device of the character described, comprising a relatively thin plate adapted to be positioned abovethe flame of a source of heat, that portion of the plate directly above the flame being of relatively small area as compared to the area of the plate, there being a portion of the plate thicker than the major portion thereof, said thickened portion adapted to be in vertical aline ment with the source of heat.
