do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in the oil tanks of oil stoves and consists

We, RICHARD POORE, JAMES FERGUSSON JAMIESON, and LANGTON THOMAS,
Stove Manufacturers, all of 3 Bakehouse Court, Godliman Street, London, E.C.,
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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in the oil tanks of oil stoves, and consists
in applying to the tank a tap, cock, valve, or other contrivance, near the top, so
that we may ascertain by opening the said tap, cock, valve or other contrivance
when there is a sufficient supply of oil in the tank. Beneath the tap, cock, valve,
or other contrivance we place a tray, drawer or small reservoir to receive any
superfluous supply or dripping.
The manner of carrying our invention into effect is illustrated in the accompanying
drawing, in which :-
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of part of the oil tank or reservoir of an oil stove, and
Fig. 2 a plan view of same.
Near the top of the oil tank or reservoir A is fitted a tap, cock or valve B, by
opening which (when filling such tank through the filling tube C), a portion of the
oil will flow out through such cock or valve as soon as the oil reaches the desired
level in the tank, thus avoiding overfilling or running over. Beneath the cock or
valve B a small tray or drawer D may be arranged for the purpose of catching
oil which may flow out through the cock or valve, such tray or drawer being
preferably capable of sliding in and out under the oil tank A, so as to be capable
of being slid in and out of the way when not required for use.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is: :-
1. In oil stoves the employment of a tap, cock or valve fitted near the top of the

page_text: oil tank or reservoir, for the purpose of preventing overfilling or running over of
the oil when such tank is being filled, substantially as specified.
2. The combination with the tap, cock or valve fitted to the oil tank or reservoir
of oil stoves as set forth in the preceding claim, of a tray or drawer (preferably
capable of sliding inwards out of the way when not in use) serving to catch any oil 5
which may flow out through such tap, cock or valve, substantially as specified.
