Specification of Letters Patent.

Patenten April 9, 1907.

Application filed November 14, 1906. Serial No. 343,359.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JONAS W. Ross, a citil zen of the United States, and a resident of Chillicothe, in the county of Livingston and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Broilers, ofv

which the following is a specification.

Myinven'tion is an improvement in broilers adapted for broiling meat, fish, game, &c., and for hotel, restaurant, and family use; and the invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described andi claimed. In the drawin s, Figure 1 is a ers ective Aview, partly-bro en away, of a rol er embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 is a detail cross-section of the broiler.

As shown, my broiler comprises a plate A, adapted to be placed upon a range-top or stove or other heated surface and has its up er face B corrugated transversely and inc' ed downwardly to dischar e' into a trough C, extending longtudinaly of the plate at the lower end of the corrugations B i v and along one side of the plate, as shown,

said trough inclining downwardly toward one end and discharging at its lower end through an opl ning C to a drain; ipe D, through whic `grease', &c., may lbe discharged in the use of the invention.

' The broiler is provided at its ends with handles E, so it can be conveniently manipulated, and its corrugations sloping down into the trough C operate to discharge thereto the grease used in or derived fromthe cooking of meat, so such grease may be drained away, thus avoiding its smoking or burning and the objections incident thereto. Moreover, by the improved device the greasejis conserved and may be used for any desired purpose, and I avoid. the retaining grease inthe meat, which impairs lts taste and drenders it unsavory, as is well understoo It will be noticed from the drawings thatv i the top face or surfaceof-the broiler is corrugated transversely and that vsuch corrugations extend on an incline downwardly nearly to one side of the broiler-plate, where they discharge-individually into the .longi' tudinally-extending trough xtendin along the lower edge of the inclined top ace,` as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. y

It will be noticed that the broiler can be cloth and that the device may be made in readilyfcleansed with any suitable brush or i die'rent sizes to adapt it for use in hotels,

cafs, private families, and the like.

The drainage-pipe D may discharge its grease to any vessel conveniently arranged,

and where desired the broiler may be built `with a'ire-box'and hood.l

- While any suitable metal may be einployed in the manufacture of the broiler, -I prefer to make it of steel. y

By preference the upper end of the trough C is open, so that in cleaning the broiler grease and other accumulations can be easily wiped out of the uxpfper end of the trough,

.leaving the same pe ectly clean.

In operation the broiler can be placed on any fre-boX or surface and, if desired, can

be used under any suitable form of hood and can be used on the top of a range or other heated. surface and be made of any suitable size and thickness to suit the particular purpose for which it is designed. A

1. A broiler consisting of a late having its up er side inclining general y downward towar one edge and corrugated on said inclined edge in the direction of its inclination,

and having a trough extending longitudinally toitslower end, and a trough extending the full'width of the broiler across the lower end of the corrugations and inclining doWIlwardly from one end toward the other or dischar e end and provided at said discharge end wit an outlet-.opening and having its o posite or upper end open and unobstructed wlli'ereby to facilitate the cleansin of the said trough, all substantially as and or the purposes set forth.
