An Arrangement for Destroying Offensive Odours or Vapours
arising from Manufacturing, Cooking, or other causes.
I, HENRY THOMPSON, of 189, Shirebrook Road, Sheffield, in the County of York,
(late) Edge Tool Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:―
My invention consists of an apparatus by which the noxious gases, vapours or
odours arising from manufacturing or other operations may be destroyed, conducted
away, or otherwise rendered innocuous, and is more particularly described in this
specification in regard to appliances for cooking fish, potatoes and the like. It is
a matter of common knowledge that these operations as usually conducted, produce
offensive odours, and my invention is intended if possible to obviate the same.
I am aware that somewhat similar arrangements have been described and pro-
tected, but I desire to disclaim in every way whatever any intention of infringing
or interfering with these said previous inventions and base my claims entirely on
my own invention as described and set forth herein.
The accompanying drawing is a representation of a stove or apparatus for cook-
ing fish, potatoes, and the like, as in common use, but with such additions and
alterations as appertain to my invention, which I will now proceed to describe.
A A¹ represent the pans or receptacles in which the cooking operations are con-
ducted. B B are the fireplaces or furnaces by the which the said pans and their
contents are heated. One of these said fireplaces B is shown with its door closed

page_text: as is necessary for the particular arrangement described herein, and the other B¹
is represented open to show the position of the mouth or embouchere of the pipe
or conduit ])¹.
C is the hood or canopy which partially covers the pans A A¹ and prevents the
vapours and odours arising from the same, from escaping into the room, or com-
partment wherein the stove is situated.
1) is a pipe or conduit by which the aforesaid vapours arising to the upper part
of the hood C may be conducted to the underside or as it is more commonly called
the ashpit of the fireplace B. A similar pipe D only shown in the drawing by
its mouth or embouchment in the fireplace, obtains on the other side of the stove.
By this arrangement of hood & pipes, the gases arising from the pans A Aare
by the action of the fire and the draught caused thereby drawn through the
pipes D D (and (the doors of the fireplaces being closed) caused to pass through
the fire, and then in its changed and inodourous form passes with the smoke and
other products of combustion and escapes by the chimney or flue in the ordinary
way.
•
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
(1) An arrangement of a stove or similar cooking apparatus and a hood or canopy
to prevent the escape of gases in combination with a pipe or pipes for conducting
the said gases or vapours from the upper part of the said hood or canopy to the
space below the fire in the fireplace or furnace.
(2) The combination in an apparatus for cooking fish, potatoes and the like of a
pipe or conduit for conducting the gases or vapours arising from the culinary
operations to the lower part of the fireplace or furnace which heats the said
apparatus.
(3) An arrangement by which in a cooking apparatus the gases or vapours aris-
ing from the culinary operations are conducted by a pipe or conduit to the lower
part of the fireplace or furnace commonly called the ashpit as in contradistinction
to other arrangements for the same or similar purposes, which may have been
described before and wherein the said gases or vapours have been conducted to
another part of the fireplace or furnace.
(4) An arrangement of a cooking apparatus substantially as set forth and
described herein.
