BROILERQ SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 539,857, dated May 28, 1895.

Application filed February 9, 1895- Serial No. 537,730. (No'modeL) To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J EAN I. OONKLIN,a citizen of the United States, and a resident of South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broilers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a convenient, simple, and cheaply manufactured device for broiling meats, fish, game, &c., to be used in connection with any ordinary cook stove; and afurther object is to- 7 in which the broiler is used in connection therewith. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the broiler. A in the drawings refers to the supporting frame preferably made of one piece of strong To this frame are connected the wires 0, and the cross wires D which help to strengthen the construction and also help to support the wires 0 which pass over the same and pre 'out of position, the frame A is bent inwardly at the various points at which the wires connect therewith as plainly shown in Fig. 2.

The handlesE E are also preferably formed out of a single piece of wire, and the ends connected at F as shown, and are fastenedto the under side of the frame A in any suitable manner; the wires H H being acontinuation of the handles and serve the same purpose as the wires 0. The handles E are raised from the plane of the frame A a suitable distance from the coals are carried directly into the chimney by the draft of the stove, and therefore have. no chance to escape into the room. Furthermore as the broiler is broughtinto close proximity to the live coals, the coals can remain undistured in the fireplace and having about the same draft as the fire usually has, they retain their life longer and the heat is more intense from having the full benefit of the four hot walls of the stove. Meat can thus be thoroughly broiled'to a great advantage since the quicker meat can be roasted from the direct heat of the hot coals the more tender and juicy-it is.

The broiler asconstructed is' convenient because it is light and easy to handle, and can be easily cleaned as the cross wires of the same are not fastened to each other, and are removably connected to the frame leaving no .place to catch filth. wire connected at B in any suitable manner. 7

The broiler is easily adjusted to any cook stove by simply removing the lids and moving the center piece between the two lids to one side.

The broiler constructed as above described is light, strong, durable and inexpensive. The indentations hold the longitudinal and cross wires in place and admit of their being easily attached and detached with loose fitting without allowing them to slip or move out of adjustment upon the marginal frame wire. Thisis an important featuFe both to insure economy of manufacture and superior advantages in use for separating theparts for cleaning them or for easily replacing a damaged wire. By attaching the longitudinal wires H H forming part of the handle to the frame A, as the other longitudinal wires are attached thereto or by attaching them by loops as shown in the drawings, all of the parts comprising the broiler may be easily separated and thoroughly cleaned, polished and kept bright for use, and the handle wires wires also connected to the marginal frame and'looped at their ends to extend upwardly and provide handles therefor, substantially as described.

In testimany that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
