    Robinsons new constructed Kitchen Range. advantage from time to time coming, growing, and arising by reason of the said Invention, for and during tbe term of years therein mentioned, to have, hold, exercise, and enjoy the said licence, powers, privileges, arid advantages therein-before granted or mentioned to be granted unto me, the said Thomas Robinson, my executors, administrators, and assigns, for and during and unto 5 the full end and term of fourteen years from the date of the said Letters Patent next and immediately ensuing, and fully to be compleat and ended, according to the statute in such case made and provided; in which said Letters Patent there is contained a proviso obliging me, the said Thomas Robinson, by an instrument in writing under my hand and seal, to cause a 10 particular description of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty’s High Court of Chancery within four calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent, as in and by the same (relation being thereunto had) may more fully and at large appear. 15 NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said Thomas Robinson, do hereby declare that my said Invention of a new con¬ structed kitchen range is described in manner following, that is to say:— The range is made to wind up with one clieeck only, when annexed to an oven (the side of the oven forming the other cheeck) ; the end of the range 20 to which the bars and pinion is fixed is a cast-iron cheeck, with hob and front the same; but a standard may be made of wrought iron. The top bar in front is made to fall down occasionally to a level with the second bar; the lowst bar but one from the bottom is halved with a pin and loop at one end, and made with a round pevet at the other end, to be taken out for the purpose 25 of raking out the fire; the other bars may be made to take out also; in the same manner, the middle bar of the three bottom bars is also halved, as above described, at one end, and a long pevet made at the other end to go through the back leg, which is fixed in the standard below the oven for the purpose of hanging on an outside regulator or cheeck with a hole in it for that 30 purpose, and which has a handle fixed to it to put it up between the oven and the fire, or let it down under the range, or may be taken away at pleasure. The standard in which the bars are fixed has a return from the bottom under the oven, forming an opening or grove for the regulator to fall into; but the standard may be made without this regulator, and with a shoulder for the oven 35 to rest upon. The moving cheeck is made of either wrought or cast iron, with a socket on it to receive the spindle of the swinging trivet. The top part of the cheeck is made to fall down as low as the second bar, and is hung upon pevets with two loops, and is kept up by the spindle of the swinging trivet.
