Complete Specification Accepted, 16th Nov., 1888
1 CHARLES BROWN of Chequers Walk Barth Row Birmingham in the County of
Warwick, Zinc Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
--
This invention has for its object the construction of a cheap and effective stove for
heating air and introducing the heated air into rooms Greenhouses or wherever
required.
It consists of a stove pipe or funnel of any convenient length (say 2 ft.) with an
opening near its base for the admission of air at the top of this pipe a chamber is
formed with perforations top and bottom within this chamber is introduced burners
above the stove pipe or funnel is fitted another which is divided in its length into three
or more chambers by perforated plates.
gras
This later or top pipe is closed at the top excepting that a small pipo of much
smaller diameter than the stove is introduced so as to carry off the heated air to any
required point.
The effect of this arrangement is that the air is drawn to the gas jets and heated
but in consequence of being confined in the several chambers all inpurities are burnt
out of the air before it passes out through the small pipe.

page_text: CHARLES BROWN of Chequers Walk Bath Row Birmingham in the County of
Warwick Zinc Worker, 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, referrence being had to the accompanying drawings
and to the letters and figures marked thereon:-
This invention has for its object the construction of a cheap and effective stove for
heating air and introducing the heated air into rooms greenhouses or wherever
required.
It consists of a stove pipe or funnel of any convenient length (say 2 ft.) with an
opening near its base for the admission of air at the top of this pipe a chamber is formed
with perforations top and bottom within this chamber is introduced gas burners, above
the stove pipe or funnel is fitted another which is divided in its length into three or
more chambers by perforated plates.
This latter or top pipe is closed at the top excepting that a small pipe of much
smaller diameter than the stove is introduced so as to carry off the heated air to any
required point.
The effect of this arrangement is that the air is drawn to the gas jets and heated
but in consequence of being confined in the several chambers all impurities are burnt
out of the air before it passes out through the small pipe.
A more economical but at the same time equally efficient way of carrying out the.
same principle as above described is to allow the heated air to at once distribute
itself after leaving the stove without being conducted by the small pipe as before
described.
And although I have described the stove as being constructed of two funnels or
⚫ tubes placed one above the other I can as readily make them in one piece.
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular material
for the construction of the outside or case of the stove as any suitable material may
be used capable of standing the heat from the burners.
Referring to the drawings
Fig. 1 is a view of a stove complete.
Fig. 2 a section through same.
Fig. 3 is a section through the upper part of a stove shewing a portion of a tube
to conduct the heated air where desired.
(A) is the body or case of the stove formed similarly to a length of ordinary stove
piping with a foot piece (B) having the openings (C) therein, additional openings (C")
may also be in the lower part of the case (A).
A perforated bottom plate is placed at (D) and the stove may be divided into any
desired number of chambers by other perforated plates Fig. 4 shewn in Figs. 2
and 3 at (D).

page_text: A ring or other suitable gas burner (E) is introduced into the bottom chamber (F).
When this ring burner is lighted air will be drawn in through the apertures (C, C³)
and through the bottom plate (D) and when heated will rise into the second chamber (F¹)
and so on to the next (2) and finally through the perforations (G). Fig. 2 is the
top of the stove, which may be a loose lid as shewn in Figs. 2 and 3.
The air being thus distributed or conveyed to other rooms through the small
pipe (H) Fig. 3.
The effect of checking the progress of the heated air by forming those various
chambers being that all impurities or smells of gas are distroyed before the heated
air leaves the stove.
When desired a small cup or dish of water may be placed in any of the chambers
or the central portion of any of the perforated divisions (D¹) may be dished
so as to hold water in order that the evaporation of the water may mix with the
heated air.
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
An improved stove for heating air consisting of a series of chambers one above
another perforated at bottom and top so as to allow of the passage of air which is
heated by burners in the lowest or first chamber substantially as herein set forth and
specified.
