OLIVER WVHYTE, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

BROILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 285,864, dated October S, 1883.

Application filed April 28, 1883. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OLIVE WHYTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Mas sachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Broilers, of which the following is a' full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which T Figure l is a perspective view of a wire broiler constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section through the same.

The ordinary wire broiler in most general use is composed of two wire frames hinged together, each frame having a series of parallel bars or wires extending from one end to the other, and secured in place by bending their ends around the wires of the frame, which is corrugated to assist in maintaining the bars at their proper distance apart. A broiler so constructed is, however, objectionable, as it lacks strength and durability, and is liable to soon become bent out of shape. In some other forms of wire broilers parallel bars have been held in place by wire of small diameter, twisted or whipped aroundthem at their junction with the bars of the frames; but this small wire soon becomes burned and destroyed by the heat, when the bars will be no longer properly confined in place, and thebroiler will soon become bent out of shape and rendered valueless. 7

My invention has for its object to overcome all of these difficulties: and it consists in a wire broiler each half of which is composed of a single piece of wire bent ina serpentine form, the several transverse or parallel portions being held firmly at suitable distances apart by strong binding-wires interwoven with or alternately passing over and under the transverse wires, in combination with a handle preferably formed by extending or prolonging a portion of the bindingwires of each half of the broiler, by which construction great strength and durability, combined with simplicity and cheapness, are secured.

In the said drawings, A A represent the two halves or portions of the broiler, which are connected by links b b, to enable them to be folded together in the usual manner. Each portion A is composed of a single piece of wire, 0, bent in a serpentine or sinuous form, its extremities d (I being secured by bending them over the adjacent parallel portion of the wire, as seen in Fig. l. A series of parallel bars or portions are thus formed, which are stiffened and held firmly together at suitable distances apart by strong binding-wires e f, which are interwoven with or pass alternately over and under them at two different portions of their length, as seen in Fig. 1. The binding-wires f f, which form the two ends of a single piece of looped or doubled wire, are bent at their extreme ends over the outer bar, 5, of the portion A, as seen at g, the looped or doubled portion being extended out to a suitable distance to form a handle, B. The other two binding-wires, e e, are each composed of a single short piece, one end, 6, being fastened by bending it around the bar 5 of the portion A, over the bent end of the wire f, and the other end, 7, being secul ed by bending it around over the wire f and the bar 10 of the portion A, thereby also holding the wire f firmly to the bar 10 at this point.

The two handles B B, one of which is made of a little less length than the other, are provided with the usual sliding loop, 0, whereby they are held together when required to prevent the piece of meat or other article held between the two portions of the broiler from falling out when the latter is turned.

A broiler constructed as above described possesses great strength and durability, as it has no outside wire frame, and no series of separate straight wires secured thereto at their opposite ends, as heretofore, and is consequently free from liability to become bent or twisted out of shape under ordinary usage.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is r 1. A broiler having each of its halves or portions A composed of a single piece of wire, 0, bent in a serpentine form, and having its transverse or parallel portions or bars held firmly together at suitable distances apart by binding-wires c f, interwoven with or passing alternately over and under the wires 0, substantially as and for the purpose described.
