Application filed November 29, 1929. Serial Hc.410,2'74.

The main object of this invention is to provide in. a gas cooking stove or range an improved housing structure for the manifold and valve casings which while they are effectively concealed are readily accesslble for removal of the valve or parts thereof.

7 A further object is to provide a structure having these advantages which is very ateconomical in structure. I

Objects relating to details and economies of my invention will appear from the description tofollow. The invention is defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated iii the ac companying drawing, in which;

Fig. 1 is a front elevation'of a gas cooking stove bodying the features of my invention t e legs being partially broken away.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary front elevation of the front wall. I

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of the parts shown in Fig. 2 in disassembled relation. 1

*Referring to the drawing, the embodiment of my invention illustrated comprises an open cooking to the numeral 1, an an oven and broiler unit 2. The cooking or burner chamber top 3 is as usual in gas stoves provided with a suitable grid not illustrated. I show only a single burner 4: but' it will be understood that in practice a plurality of burners are provided. However, .as the arran ement of these burnem in the burner cham er 5 below the cook- V may be removed by first removing the haning top constitutes no (part of this invention,

they are not illustrate herein. 1

tirepresents the drip pan which constitutes the bottom of the burner chamber.

The front wall 7 of the open. cooking top unit is formed as a casting and is provided 8 at its upper edge, this housing extending approximately the full length of the front wall and constituting afront wall for the burnerg'chamber.

W The-top wall 9 of the housing is upwardly tractive in appearance and at the same time outslde of the housing. The housing face designated generally by r with a horizontal outwardly olfsethousing inclined and provided with a shoulder-like The face wall 12 of the housing has valve handle shank openings 13 therein, the structure illustrated having six valves, the handles 14 being the only parts exposed oron the also'has grids15. The housing is formed integrally with the front Wall 7.

The manifold 16 is arranged on the inne side of the front wall 1 which is provided with internal boss-like projections 17 having curved seats 18 for the manifold.

The clamps 19 engage the inner sides oi" the manifold, these clamps being detachably secured to the supports y means of screws 20. The manifold is thus supported in a plane above the plane of the housing.

The valve cas ngs 21 are provided with threaded nipples 22 by means of which the valve casings are detachably secured to the manifolds, the manifolds having tapped openings 23 on their under sides into which the nipples are threaded. The valve casings are provided with nozzles 24. delivering to the burner. a i

The valve 25 which is of the rotary plug type is provided with a threaded stem 26 PI'OJGGtiIlg into the housing.

The handle 14 is provided with a shank 27 threaded upon the stem and secured thereto by means 0 the set screws 28. This set screw 's accessible through an opening 29 in the bottom wall of the housing. With the parts thus arranged, the valves dle, shifting the burner to release the nozzle, and the valve may then be rotated to unscrew its nipfple, the housing affording suflicient Gas stoves or ranges embodying my improvements are very attractive in appearance, at the .same time economical 1n the on. p

matter of its parts and the parts being easily assembled and disassembled.

I have not attempted to illustrate other adaptations or embodiments of my improvements as it is believed that this disclosure will enable those skilled in the art to embody or adapt the same as may be desired.
