OIL vRANGE TOP CONSTRUCTION l ATTORNEY.

Patented Feb. 20, 1940 on. RANGE' 'ror coNs'rRUcrrroN Jacob Teller, Chicago, and Arthur P. Schulz, Hinsdale, Ill., assignors to G. & .l. Teller, Chicago, Ill., a partnership composed ofGrace' `Teller and Jacob Teller Application June 15,1938, serial No. 213,904 4 claims. (ci. 12s-44) This invention relates to kerosene ranges. Kerosene rangesas at present constructedessentially comprise Aa cooking top, a high'oven at one side of the cooking top and a horizontal row of burners beneath 'the cooking top and the oven, with the row of burners extending along the iront of the range throughout substantially the full length thereof.

Such ranges fail to meet present day .requirements from the standpoint of compactness', cooking capacity and attractiveness in appearance for the reasons that in the present six lid, three burner cooking top and two burner oven,v in which all burners are disposed in a single horil5 zontal row', an unnecessarily long range for the cooking capacity .thereof is required. Further# more, such ranges fail to provide a plane working` table top and thus lack in maximum efliciency as well as failing to present an attractive appearance. It is a primary object of this invention to provide a kerosenerange which is compact, provides maximum cooking capacity and is attractivein appearance.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a plane cooking top with a low oven disposed below'the cooking top, and with the cooking top burners disposed on opposite sides of the oven.

It is a still further object of the invention to provide a kerosene range comprising a low oven with a pair of burners therefor, a plane cooking top comprising a pair of main cooking grids at each side of the oven and two pairs of auxiliary grids disposed above the oven, a burner being provided below each main grid andheat conveying ducts extending from the burners to the auxiliary grids.

For a more complete -understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference will be had to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein- Y Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a kerosene range constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the range with parts thereof in section.

Referring' to the drawing by reference characters, and wherein like characters designate like parts', F designates the supportingframe, and 50 while this lframe may be constructed of any desired form of material so far as the burner and.

grid arrangement is concerned, it is preferably formed of beaded molding whereby a more attractive appearance is offered by the complete range.

'I'he frame F comprises opposite end members,

each being substantially of U-form and comprising a horizontal base support I0 and front vand vrear vertical members Il and I2 respectively.

The upper ends ofy members II and I2 are suitably interconnected by a' top rectangular member 5 I3 at the rear of which is'suppofrted ,a splasher back S and the base supports III are provided with suitable feet".

The frame member I3 removably supports four v plates' I5, each of which is provided with a'main i0 grid I'6 and a somewhat smaller auxiliary grid I1,

themain and auxiliary grids being disposed in pairs as will later appear. A

Supported by the vertical members II and I2 adjacent the lower ends thereof is 'a shelf I8 v16 which supports an oven burner compartment I9 having an oven 20 disposed thereabove with the top of same spaced a short distance belowthe' auxiliary grids as is clearly indicated in Fig. 2.

The oven burners 2l are normally concealed' by a suitable door 22 and are controlled by handles 23 mounted in a box like member 24 which enclo'ses the pipe line and necessary mechanism for raising and lowering the bowls. f.

Supported by members I I and I2 in connection 'with each side wall of the oven 20 is a box like member 25 each of which supports a. pair of burners 2S and which are controlled by handles 21.

. The burners 26 are arranged one beneath each of the main grids I6 as is more clearly indicated in Fig. 2 for directly heating same. The main and auxiliary grids IB and I1 of each pair thereof are interconnected by a duct 28 with the respective burner 26 extending through the bottom 3s thereof.

Thus it will be seen that the improvedkerosene range in accordance with this invention'. comlprises eight lids or grids and vfour cooking burners with a pair thereof disposed at each side ofthe 4o. oven and withthe main grids being disposed above and vdirectly heated by the burners and the auxiliary grids being disposed above the oven and being heated by means ofthe heat conveying ducts 28. With this improved arrangement, a cooking top of the table-top Itype is provided which has a maximum capacity'due to the transverse disposition of the burners at each side of the oven and the arrangement o i' the auxiliary grids above the oven.

The maingrids are serviceable for rapid cooking andthe auxiliary grids for-simmering or less rapid cooking, the ducts 2 8 providing different degrees of cooking heat and thereby -permitting the use of otherwise wasted heat.

Inforder to prevent conduction of heat to the oven 2n an air space 29 isl provided between the oven and ducts 28.

While we have disclosed but a single specific embodiment of our invention, same is to be considered as illustrative only, and not restrictive, the scope` of the invention being defined in the subjoined claims.

What we claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. An open kerosene range comprising a frame, a shelf supported by the frame adjaeent the bottom thereof, an oven supported by the shelf cen- 3. A range according to claim 1 wherein said cooking top comprises a main and an auxiliary' v grid associated with each 'ofsaid bmners, the main grids being disposed directly` above the burners, and the auxiliary grids being disposed above the oven and in communication with said burners by heat conveying ducts.

4. A kerosene range comprising a frame, a shelf supported by the frame adjacent the bottom thereof, an oven supported bythe shelf centrally of the frame, a plane cooking top supported by the frame above the oven and projecting over the shelf, a horizontal burner supporting member connected with the frame and disposed between the shelf and cooking top at each side of the oven,a pair of kerosene burners for the cooking top supported by each of said supporting members, and burner control handles in said supporting members.
