COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Cooking Stoves.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, trading as The Frank Rippingille Stove
Company. Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, 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 :-
This invention relates to the adaption of cooking stoves for oil or gas burning,
my object being to enable the same stove to be used with either gas or oil fuel as
may be desired.
In order that the application of my invention may be the more readily under-
stood I append hereunto two sheets of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to:-
Figure Sheet 1 is a front elevation of a cooking stove arranged for oil
burning, and Figure 2 a sectional elevation of the same stove as adapted for gas
burning.
Figure 3 Sheet 2 is a plan and Figure 4 an end view of one form of gas burner,
and four other forms of such burners are illustrated in plau by Figures 5 to 8.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
The stove is arranged with internal chambers or ovens in the usual manner, and
is provided with side flues A A¹ having cones or mouth pieces B B immediately
beneath which I slide the oil tanks C C with necessary burners and attachments,
for containing and burning the oil when such fuel is employed for heating the
stove.
To adapt the stove for use with gas fuel, I dispense with the sliding or removable
oil tanks and burners C C¹ and employ independent gas burners such as D D'.
The gas burners which are preferably of the Bunsen type, may be arranged in
either of the forms shown in the figures on Sheet 2 or of other form suitable for
sliding into position under the cones or mouth pieces B B of the stove.
In the form of independent gas burner illustrated at Figures 3 and 4, the gas is
admitted to the pipe E through a connection pipe shown by dotted lines at Figure 3.
It then passes through valves or cocks F F to the outlet pipes G G', the necessary
air being admitted through apertures provided at the junctions of the pipes G G₁
with the pipe E. The complete burner is mounted upon a stand or feet such as
H H H H³, and is stiffened by the tie rod J.
In the form of burner shown at Figure 5 only one valve F is employed fitted
at one end of the bent or right angle pipe E¹. In the burner shown at Figure 6
the valve F and gas supply or connection pipe are attached at the central part of
the pipe E².
I sometimes employ a burner having circular outlet pipes such as illustrated at
Figure 7.
Figure 8 represents a burner without the tie or stiffening rod J as illustrated at
Figures 3, 5, and 6, the gas admission pipe E3 being in this case attached to the
central portions of the outlet pipes.
I do not limit myself to the particular forms of burners herein before described,
but employ such other convenient and suitable patterns both for oil and gas
burning.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same may be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The method of adapting a cooking stove for use with either gas or oil fuel, by
means of independent burners substantially as herein described.
2. The construction of independent gas burners for cooking stoves substantially
as hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
3. The combination of a cooking stove having side flues or chimneys with gas
burners substantially as hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
Dated this 15th day of June 1895.
