PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil or Gas Heating Stoves.
We HENRY VALENTINE JOSEPH and GEORGE DAVID JOSEPH both of
No. 271 Liverpool Road, Islington in the County of Middlesex Oil Stove and Lamp
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of our invention is to make a stove heated by an oil lamp or by gas
jets to resemble a coal fire..
For this purpose we make in any suitable design a stove resembling an ordinary
coal fire-place and we provide at the rear thereof a suitable container for an oil
lamp or for suitable gas jets by which the stove is to be heated.
In the grate of the stove we place a shallow layer of any suitable material to
resemble fuel and secure it in position by any suitable network or wires, placing at
its base an inclined strip of coloured glass, preferably red glass. At the back of the
artificial fuel we place vertically a sheet or strips of coloured glass, preferably red,
through which the light from the oil lamp or gas jets projects upon the inclined
glass hereinbefore mentioned and through the apertures between the various pieces
of the artificial fuel provided. The effect of the coloured rays of light thus
projected into the mass of artificial fuel gives the appearance of incandescense
resembling that of red hot fuel in a fireplace.
In the case of employment of an oil lamp as the heating appliance, the vertical
sheet of coloured glass may be fitted upon the lamp itself and be removable there-
with from the lamp container.

an inclined strip of coloured glass, preferably red glass is placed at the base of the
artificial fuel. At the back of the artificial fuel we place vertically a sheet or strips
of coloured glass preferably red glass, through which the light from the oil lamp or
gas jets projects upon the inclined glass herein before mentioned and through the
apertures between the various pieces of the artificial fuel provided. The effect of
