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.

Dumping stove-grate.

Fig. 5931 is a grate which may be shaken horizontally about its axis to remove the ashes, or may be tilted into a vertical position to dump the spent fuel into the ash-pit.
