has been granted
Wife Ol William Webb, of I

The invention can be applied to
any range, cook stove, gas sto\e or
baker's oven and consists of a ri/.el-ving
disc built In the oven of the
stove. A large Kxcelsior range, built
by the Isaac A. Sheppard Company
of Philadelphia, which contains the
new device Is on exhibition at the
show rooms of Plumber John J. Pin-eran.
lt> W. Elm street.
The device consists of a circular
Iron plate set In the oven. This plate i
Is set on a circular concave runway
In which are a series of ball bearings.
The plate Is turned by a shaft which
is operated by a handlist on the out-side
of the stove. The circular plate
Is beveled on the edge winch always
assures that the oven will remain
perfectly lev»el and being supported
by the ball bearings and reinforced,'
It will not warp as does tbe Iron in '
so many cooki stove ovens. The OV- ,
en door is provided with a thermom- ;
eter and the scale Is graduated to '
show the temperature* of the oven
In a way thatwlll make cooking and
baking quiet easy, even tor the be- [
ginner. The scale shows the tern- ;
peratures of warm, very warm, hot!
and very hot.
Tiie great points claimed for the
oven is tuat when many articles are
cooking at one time it is necessary
for the cook to open the oven iloor j
ajid change the articles from one '
side of the oxen to the other to bring
thorn nearer the tire. With the now
device this can be done by simply :
turning the crank, which extends
outside Hi"' oven jusl as is a damper
Dandle and .an be operated witn the!
sam ease. In bakelng pies'and other
foods, which need an even tempera' I
inre, a perfectly levl oven, and much
inspection and moving about, the ov- |
en is particularly adapted.
Mrs. Webb was askted by a Re- i
colder representative what suggest-,'
ed th idea of her Invention? She said
that she had raised a family who are1
blessed witn good appetltltes and I
this meant that she has to do a great
amount of cooking. Time and again
when she was baking or roasting she
would often burn her hands and arms
in moving the various cooking uten-sils
or reaching far back into the
hot oven to remove them. She
thought that there should be a bet-er
way of arranging an oven. The
