COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Stoves used for Heating Rooms.
I, JOHN ADAM SCHÄDLICH, of 24, Sommerstrasse, Bremen, in the Empire of
Germany, Manufacturer, 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 :-
The object of this invention is a stove, which is not merely intended for warm-
ing the parts of the room in immediate proximity to it, but for automatically
diffusing the hent over the whole room and into all its corners.
The invention consists in furnishing a stove which may be of ordinary con-
struction, with a box made air-tight in front of the feed-opening or the ash-
hole opening or both, and placing a number of pipes of suitable material and
cross-section, so that they open into the box, these pipes conveying the neces-
sary air for the combustion from the different parts of the room, so that the
heated air is forced to spread over such parts and convey warmth thereto. Under
this arrangement, the remotest corners of the room can be best employed as
suction-points."
"
In the accompanying drawing:
Fig. 1, is a section of a complete apparatus of the kind, whilst, Fig. 2, is a
front view of the stove.
Obviously, the form of the stove itself is only shewn by way of example.
The fixing of the box can be effected by screwing, riveting, jamming or in
any other suitable manner and the doors of the stove are accordingly outside
the box.
Into the box c run pipes d, which are carried along under the floor and have
outlets at suitable heights in the walls of the room, preferably in the corners.
It is desirable that the pipes should issue from the walls in a horizontal direction
and also be covered with a sieve (wire gauze) e, in order to prevent their being
soiled by dust and the like. The pipes d are preferably made of zinc. They
may, however, be made of other material, and the determination of their cross-
section is subject to known practical laws.
The working of the arrangement is readily understood.
After the stove has been lighted, and the two doors a and b applied to the
outside of the box have been closed air-tight, the air necessary for combustion
is drawn through the pipes from the different parts of the room, and thus the
warm air is forced to fill the vacuum created, and so to flow into those parts.
The chief advantages of the arrangement are cheapness of production with
great efficiency.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
Improvements in stoves, the distinguishing feature of which is that the feed-
ohening
well as the boxonaning in

page_text: by means of which the closing, is effected, pipes are carried under the floor to the
remote corners of the room, such pipes conveying the necessary air for combus-
tion to the stove from these corners, being bent upwards twice before entering
the room, and being further furnished with a wire gauze netting so as to pre-
vent the introduction of any improper substances for the purpose of drawing
the cold air from the remote corners of the room, and causing the same to be
replaced by warm air.
