STOVE OR RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 474,729, dated May 10, 1892.

Application filed November 18| 1891. Serial No. 412.305. (No model.)

T @ZZ whom t may concern:

. Be it known that I, GEORGE A. FISHER, a citiin Stoves or Ranges, of which the followingv is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a stove or range with a frame having a burner- Io chamber containinga burner in such manner that the frame can be turned down flat upon the top plate of the stove or range, so

that the burner-chamber enters a pot-hole in the top plate when the burner-chamber is to x be used for heating or cooking.

To accomplish this object, my invention involves the features of construcution and the combination or arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed, reference bezo ing made to the accompanying drawings, in

Which- Y Figure l represents a partial front view of a stove or range provided with my burnerframe turned down for use. Fig. 2 is an end z5 view of the same when the burner-frame is turned down for use. Fig. 3 is avertical section in the plane 0cm, Fig. 2, when the burnerframe is turnes down for use. Fig. 4 is a sectional view when the burner-frame is turnedV 3o up, leaving the top plate of the sto've or range unobstructed. Fig. 5 is an end view when the burner-frame is turned up. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical section in the plane a a, Fig'. 5. Fig. 7 is a horizontal section in the plane y y, Fig. Lon alarger scale than the previous figures.

plane Fig. 4, on the same scale as Fig. 7.

In the drawings, theletter A designates the top plate of a stove or range. To one end of this plate are secured two brackets B B, which extend in a horizontal direction beyond the edge of the top plate and which form the bearings for a pipe C, and on this pipe is mounted a plate or frame D, which carries one or more burner-chambers E, (two being shown in the drawings,) and a correspondingnumloerof gasburners F. The pipe C may be firmly mount.- ed in the brackets B, and in that case the burner-frame D will be made to turn or swing 5o on said pipe; but I prefer to mount the burnerframe firmly on the pipe C, and in that case Fig. 8 is a horizontal section in the this pipe is made to turn freely in its bearings. From the pipe C extend branch pipes Gr, one

to each of the burners F, and these branch pipes are provided with stop-cocks a, so'that 55 the communication between the pipes O and each of the burners can be opened or closed,

as may be required. One end of the pipe C is fitted gas-tight into a socket H, which communicates by a channel b with a gas-supply 6o pipe l, and the pipe C is provided with a hole c, which is so situated that when the burnerframe D is turned down toits workingposition, Figsl, 2, and 7, the hole c registers with the channel b in the socket H, and the pipe C is supplied with gas; but when theburner-fraine D is swung up to its vertical position, Figs. o' and 8, the communication between the gassnpply pipe l and the pipe C is cut off.

The burner-chambers E bulge out of or pro- 7o ject from theinnersurfaceoftheburner-'frame D, and in order to allow cf folding this frame down fiat upon the top plate A of the stove or range the distance of the burner-chambers E from the pipe C must be equal to the distance of the holes J in the top plate from the said pipe, and said burner-chambers must otherwise be so placed that when the covers K of the holesJ are removed and the burner-frame is turned down to the position shown in Figs. 8o l, 2, and 3 the burner-chambers E extend down into the holes J, and the frame D lies fiat upon the top plate of the stove. At the same time, if the burner-frames are used for cooking purposes, all drippings produced during the operation of cooking or broiling run down through the holes J into the fireplace of the stove or range, and the surface ot' the top plate A is not soiled.

From the edge of the frame D projectsastud 9o d, on which swings the catch e, and if said fra-me is turned up to the position shown in Fig. 4 this catch engages a lugf, projecting from the edge of the bracket B. By these means the burner-frame is retained in a vertical position, and when it is turned up to this position the surface of the top plate A is left entirely free or unobstructed, while at the same time the burner-frame forms a guard which prevents articles from dropping off ac- Ico cidentally over that end of the top plate to which the burner-frame is attached.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with a stove or range having its top plate provided with a pot-hole, of brackets extending in ahorizontal direction beyond the edge ofthe top plate and a swinging frame pivoted to the brackets and carrying a projecting burner-chamber containing a burner and entering the pot-hole of the top plate when the frame is swung downward upon the lat-ter for use in heating or cooking, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a stove or range, of brackets extending out-ward from one end or the top plate of the stove or` range, a gaspipe C, mounted in said brackets, a frame D, carrying a burner-chamber E, and burner F, mounted on this gas-pipe and constructed to swingr inward upon the top plate or upward to a perpendicular position, a catch for retaining said frame in its vertical position, and a suitable communication between the gaspipe and the burner, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a stove or range,

' of brackets extending from the top plate ot the stove or range, a gas-pipe C, mounted in said brackets, a frame D, carrying a burnerchamber E, and burner F, mounted on this gasppe and constructed to swing inward upon the top plate or upward to a perpendicular position, a channel G, extending from the gaspipe to the burner, and a catch for retaining the frame D in its upright position, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with a stove or range, of brackets extending from the top plate of the stove or range, a gas-pipe C, mounted loosely in said brackets, a frame D, carrying a burnerchamber E, and burner F, mounted firmly on said gas-pipe, a channel G, extending from the gas-pipe to the burner, a socket H, fitting the gas-pipe C and communicating with a gassupply pipe I, and openings b c, respectively, in the socket and in the gas-pipe, said openings being so situated that they register when the frame D is turned down upon the top plate, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of the ltwo subscribing witnesses.

GEORGE A. FISHER.
