2 Claims. (Cl. 12639) This application relates to a domestic appliance and more particularly to ranges. This application is a division of my copending applications S. N. 613,982 filed September 1, 1945, now Patent No. 2,632,434, and S. N. 223,191 filed April 27, 1951, now abandoned.
An object of this invention is to provide a range in which a substantially rectangular box-like frame is provided, to which said panels, a cooking top, an oven liner, an oven door, and other parts may be attached to form the completed range.
It is another object of my invention to provide a range construction in which all the parts which are exposed on the top, sides and front of the range are so constructed in simple flat shape so that they can be coated with a minimum ofprocessing difliculties.
It is another object of my invention to provide a range construction in which all the parts exposed on the top, sides and front, of the range can be readily.
removed and replaced if the. finish is damaged.
*It is another object. of my invention to so locate the exposed simple flat surfaced exterior parts so that they will completely cover the top front and sides of the range andcompletely conceal the more complicated interior parts and the frame and structural parts of the range which cannot be readily removed and which cannot be readily provided with a-satisfactory exterior finish and which present an unsightly appearance.
It is another object of my invention to make the doors and drawer front suflicient in size and to make them fit together well enough that they are the only exposed parts on the front of the range.
Further objects and advantages 'of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein a preferred form of the present invention is clearly shown.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front view, in perspective, showing the completed range;
Fig. 2 is an exploded view, in perspective, of a large number of parts for the range;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the rectangular box-like frame;
Fig. 4 is a right-hand view of Fig. 3;
Fig. 5 is a top View of Fig. 3;
Fig. 6 is a cross-section, with parts broken away, taken along the line 66 of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 7 is a view, in perspective of the side of Fig. 1, with the lower drawer extended.
The range may comprise a main body, somewhat as shown in Fig. l. The main body may be constructed on a rectangular box-like frame 11 to which other portions of the main body may be attached. Thus a left hand side panel 12 and a right hand side panel 13 may be attached to sides of the frame 11, and may extend below the frame 11 a substantial distance to form the support for the range, or to surround the support for the range. The top panel 14 may be placed over 2,769,440 Patented Nov. 6, 1956 the frame 11 to form the cooking top. An oven liner 15, which is flangedv at 16 may be telescoped into the. opening 17 of the frame 11. If desired, a drawer 18.
A foot plate 25 may be attached to the two side panels 7 12 and 13 and may tie them together to form a rigid structure.
Details of the rectangular box-like frame The frame 11 preferably is made of channel or angle iron structure, and preferably has a ground coat of enamel applied thereto. Channel or angle iron 'members are welded together substantially as indicated in .Figs. 3 to 6. The partition 26 extends from the front to the rear, to retain insulation around the oven liner 15. The front of the frame 11 includes upright channels 27, 28 and 29, a horizontal lower channel 30, an upper right hand channel 31 and a left hand upper channel 32. 1 The right hand side of theframe 11 may include a lower channel 140 and an upper angle 33. The left hand side of frame 11 may include a lower channel and upper. angle similar to I40 and 33 respectively. fTher'ear of.
Double channel 'members 36 are secured inside of. the frame 11, to the rear of. opening 19,-which are adapted to support a drip plate 37: ChanneLmembers Details of the side panels The side panels12 andj13 are preferably provided with upper andlower flanges .40, 41 and front and :rear':
The top panel 14 is secured in place by any suitable means. a
The top 14 may support a plurality of top heaters 60 and/or a top cooker. These may be of any well known construction, which are adapted to be supported by the top 14, such as disclosed in McCormick Patent 2,320,041, granted May 25, 1943.
The front upper bar 32 is provided with an opening 62 to accommodate switch means for the heaters 60. Suitable knobs 69 are provided at the front 52 of the range top panel 14 for controlling the top heaters 60.
The oven liner 15 preferably is made in two or more sections welded together. The front sheet has inward corrugations 126 which form grooves on the outside of the liner and shelf ridges on the inside of the liner. The sheet 125 is bent to form a square hollow tube with the flanges 16 welded or formed thereon at one end and no flanges at the other end. A metal cup, rectangular in cross-section, is telescoped over the rear edge of the cup, at 128;.- Two or more J-shaped bolts lz29 m'ay be hooked over the edgewf the cup -:at 128'-,- and these:bolts-Z1 29 may extend through:theirear- 'plate 35, Avhere; they. may be drawni tightly 'by' aunt and washers. In this manner the fiange l'tS- is 1 drawn .upagainstthe inneredg es of the openingli'. The bolts 129 pass through openings=131 in the plate 35;-
The -top "and bottom' ov'en"heaters-may'be of any suitable construction, and for example may be of the construction shown and described inMcCormiok Patent 2,314,592, granted March '23, 1943:.
The door construction may be of any conventional design; but preferably is substantially as shown. and described in Figs. "7through-1'4 o'f McCormick Patent I .2,318;421,1.grantedLJunei 19; 1945;.
