SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,850,dated February 14,1988.

' Application med March 9, 18er. serai No. 230,255. ino model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY FLYN'r, of Kansas City, Jackson county, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor or Gas Stoves, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

This invention relates more particularly to ro a reversible burner for use in a vapor or gas stove; and its object is to provide a burner swiveled upon the end ofthe commingling' '"t'ube and adapted to throw the heat either up'- ward against the under side of the article desired to be heated or cooked or downward upon the top of such article. In connection with such burner are arranged a frame-work for supporting the cooking utensils and other details, all of which will be set forth herein,

2o and more particularly pointed out in the claims. I accomplish this object by means of the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a cross-section of the elevating frame-work for supporting the cooking utensils above the table of the ordinary vapor or gas' stove, the reversible burner being shown in crosssection therein. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged'cross- 3o section of the reversible burner detached.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation ofFig. 3,l showing the swivel connection. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the perforated face of the burner. Fig. 6 is a plan view of a portion of the stove-table,

3 5 showing my improved reversible burner pivoted therein and with its perforated face turned downward. Fig. 7 is alongitudinal section of a portion of the stovetable,showingthe hanger frame-work for supporting the cooking uten- 4o sils below the surface of the table, the revers` ible burnerbeing also shown therein, its face turned downward. Fig. 8 is an end view\'of Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is a central longitudinal sectional view of my improved reversible burner. Fig. 10 is 'a general perspective View of a gas or vapor stove, showing my reversible burner and the hanger frame-,work attached thereto.

The same letters of reference have been applied to corresponding parts throughout the several figures and in the specification.

The letter A designates the stove-tablesup-r ported by suitable legs. I

B is the reservoir for the gasoline; C, the supply-tube leading to the comminglingtubes D through the generator E, which may be ofany desired or preferred construction. When artificial or natural gas is used, it will be led` direct into the tubes D through Ia suitable branch and valves located at E. The tubes `D may be of any desiredI number and leadvto 6o 'a short Itube, H, which constitutes one member of the swiveljoint.

rIhe tube H is provided with a hole, h, into which a pin,- I, may be inserted for turning this tube on the tube D, and thus reversing the burner5or any other suitable means may be employed for this purpose-, such, for instance, as a handle rigidly connected to the tube H. Attached to the shieldK, opposite the end of the perforated 8o tube G, and projecting axially from 'opposite' the closed end of said tube, is a bar, J, and this bar with the tube D form the journals upon which the reversible burner is pivoted.

The perforated interior tube, G,is surrounded by a shield or backing, K, on three sides, which shield is of sheet metal and preferably concavoconvex, as shown. The face of the burner is composed of a metallic framework,L,stretched from edge to edge of the shield, and a wire- 9o netting, M, clamped against the inner surface of the frame-work L by means of bolts N ,passing through the frame work, netting, and shield at the edges. The vapor or gas enters the perforated tube G from tubes H and'D, 95 passes through the perforations therein into the chamber formed by the shield and face, and is forced through the perforated face against the utensil or article to be heated or cooked.

It will be evident that when the face of the roo burner is turned uppermost t-he heat will be thrown upward, and that when the burner is turned'on its journals, so that the face will be down, the heat and the dames will be thrown in that direction.

The elevating frame-work O (illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2) is preferably composed of sheetiron, and adapted to be placed upon the tabletop for elevating the cooking utensils above the same. This frame-work is preferably rectangular in shape, open at top and bottom, and closed on all sides, except opposite one end of the slides Q, whereon a dish, pan, or broiler, R,is adapted to be supported below the burner, and when the face of the latter is turned down theilames will be thrown into this dish or upon the top of the article being cooked. By withdrawing the dish R and resting it upon the top of the sidesof the frame-work O and by turning the burner face upward the bottom of the dish will be heated.

The hanger framework P (illustrated in Figs. 6, 7, 8, and l0) is constructed, preferably, of sheetmetal angle-strips P, depending from the tabletop and connected at their lower eX- tremities by horizontal slides Q.y This framework is intended fora similar use, except that herein the dish is supported below the tabletop by means of the strips Q, and when it is desired to heat thebottom of such dish, or, in fact, the bottom of any dish, it is simply placed on the stovetop above the burner and the latter turned face upward. Y

It will be understood that in using either frame-work the pipe D must be led to the swivel -joint, and, further, that the hanger frame-work may be rigidly attached to the stove-table by bolts, screws, or any other suita ble means, if desired, as shown in Fig. 10. The bar J is snitablyjournaled in either framework nsed, and the tube H is passed loosely through such frame-work in order that the burner may be reversed at pleasure.

In Fig. 4 Ihaveillustrated two supplemental lugs, S, depending from the table-top, through which the bar .I and tube H may also be passed, if desired, for further strengthening the device, although this feature is not essential.

In Fig. 2 I have shown a device for fastening the burner with its face either up or down. This device consists of two lugs, S', having rounded faces, and when the rod I is sprung and rests between these lugs the burner-face will be locked in downward position. Upon the opposite side of the frame-work are two similar lugs, (not here shown,) and when the rod rests between these latter the burner-face will be locked in upward position. Although I have not illustrated this device in connection with the hanger frame-work, I contemplate its use when the rod Iis employed.

When a handle or other similar device is used for reversing the burner, any suitable means may be employed for locking it.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The herein-described reversible burner for vapor or gas stoves, comprising the short tube H, swiveled' upon the conducting-tube D, the perforated tube G, extending the tube H, the shield K, surrounding the perforated tube on three sides, and the perforated face M, secured to the edges of said shield, in combination with a frame-work within which said burner is supported, substantially as described.

2.
