COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Gas Cooking and Heating Stove.
| CHARLES EARDLEY BILLING of Smart's Buildings, London, W.C. Gas
Engineer, 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 relates to an improved cooking and heating stove and hins for its
object to effect a great economy of gas while preventing the contact of food with
the products of combustion.
According to my invention I make use of one burner only which in connection
with a horizontal branch jet or jets suffices to heat the stove throughout, the heat
being diffused around the oven part of the stove.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a front view, Fig. 2 a side view, Fig. 3 a cross section on line of
Fig. 4 and Fig. 4 a longitudinal section of my improved gas stove.
Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the drawings.
My improved gas stove consists of the casing a carried upon four legs band
containing the oren e by the side of which is formed a heating and radiating
chamber d which as the stove is placed in the position shown in Fig. I is situated
in front of the same. The upper part of the stove or hot plate e is provided with
a number of openings for cooking purposes.
The front of the stove placed according to Fig. 1 is open, this opening being
covered with a wire trellis which allows this part of the stove to be used for.
roasting or grilling purposes. Should the heat however be wholly required in the
oven for baking, this front part may be closed by the door hinged at the bottom
thereof. But when this door is lowered as shown in the drawings, the same serves
as a support for a roaster y or other similar contrivance wherein the joint required
to be roasted is suspended.
The chamber d is provided at the back with a layer of asbestos or other suit-
able heat radiating and uninflammable material having for its object to give the
chamber d the appearance of an ordinary grate fire.
The gas is supplied through the pipe which conveys it to the burner i whence
it escapes through a series of jets formed in the horizontal part of this burner and
from which issue vertical flames ascending in the heating chamber and passing

page_text: partly around the oven as shown by the arrows in Fig. 4 so that the heat produced
thereby may be fully diffused.
In the vertical part of the burner is formed a downwardly curved pipe
through which a horizontal flame impinges upon the bottom plate 7 of the stove, so
that the heat of this plate may radiate on to the lower part of the oven.
The plate is provided with air holes such as m for supporting the combustion.
I may use a number of these horizontal pipes or jets, in which case they would be
formed in the horizontal part of the burner. The products of combustion from
the horizontal and vertical jets entirely surround the oven with the exception of
the part where the door n is situated and escape through the outlet o.
As the gas
is being fed to the burner it is mixed with a certain quantity of air in the small
chamber usually provided for the purpose of increasing the combustibility of
P
the gas.

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
The improved gas cooking and heating stove arranged and constructed substan-
tially as herein described and shown and for the purpose set forth.
CHARLES EARDLEY BILLING.
