Stove-grate.
The grid or series of bars on which the fuel rests in a stove.
Fig. 5930 shows a shaking grate in which the bed-plate rests on balls moving in slots in the base of the stove.
A lug extends down on one side of the bed plate, to which one end of the grate is pivoted, while the other is supported by an arbor in a loop on the opposite side, by which the bedplate is rotated and grate revolved.
See grate, page 1013.
