PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Chimney Pots.
I, JAMES WILLIAM BROWN, of Boroughgate, Otley, near Leeds in the
County of York, Sewing Machine Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct chimney pots in such a manner as to
effectually prevent a down draught taking place in the chimney, which so
frequently occurs with chimney pots at present in use; whilst at the same time
chimney pots constructed according to my invention, considerably improve the
upward current.
According to my invention I provide four or other suitable number of side
standards, which are fitted to or form part with the lower portion of the chimney
pot, and to the upper ends of the said standards I attach a cover which is
immediately above the chimney pot opening.
At suitable distances apart down the side standards, rings or deflectors are fitted,
the said rings being conical or curved in such a manner as to deflect the passing
currents or wind in an upward direction.
It will thus be seen that the apparatus is composed of a series of deflectors with
a roof at the upper end, which latter effectually prevents down currents passing
into the chimney, and protects such chimney from the effects of bad weather,
whilst at the same time the deflectors considerably improve the up draught.
The above described arrangement may be readily fitted to existing chimney
pots, thus materially improving the efficiency of such chimney pots at very
little cost.

Improvements in or connected with Chimney Pots.
I, JAMES WILLIAM BROWN, of Boroughgate, Otley, near Leeds, in the
County of York, Sewing Machine Agent, 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 my invention is to construct chimney pots, in such a manner as to
effectually prevent a down draught taking place in the chimney, whilst at the same
time chimney pots constructed according to my invention considerably improve the
upward current.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will proceed to describe
same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like parts are
indicated by similar letters in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a vertical section, Figure 2 an elevation, Figure 3 a section plan,
and Figure 4 an outside plan. of a chimney pot constructed in accordance with my
invention

page_text: According to my invention, I form four or other suitable number of side
standards A, which are connected to and form part with the lower part of the
chimney B, and to the upper ends of the standards A, a cover C is connected,
being situated over the chimney pot opening. On the side standards and situated
at suitable, distances apart, rings or deflectors D are fitted, the said rings being
slightly conical or curved, in such a manner as to deflect the passing currents or
wind in an upward direction. The distances between.the deflectors are sufficiently
great to allow of through currents of air passing between the deflectors themselves
without being actually injected into the chimney, thus enabling an upward
tendency to be imparted to the smoke without tending to choke the draught in
any way.
L
It will thus be seen that the apparatus forms a series of deflectors with a
roof at the upper end, which latter effectually prevents down currents passing.into
the chimney, and also protects it from the effects of bad weather.
If desired the upper part of the apparatus may be fitted to existing chimneys,
thus materially improving the efficiency of such chimney pots at very small
cost.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A chimney pot having deflectors, arranged at a sufficient, distance_apart_to
allow a through current of air to pass between them, substantially as and for the
purposes set forth.
2. The cover C and rings D, formed in a shallow form, substantially as and for
the purposes set forth.
3. The combination of the standards A, cover C, deflectors D, and the lower
portion of the chimney B, substantially as described and shown in the accompanying
drawings.
Dated this 17th day of July 1895.
