PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Radiators and Hot Air Circulating Apparatus for
Oil and Gas Stoves.
I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, trading as Rippingille Brothers, of
Sampson Works, Sampson Road, North, in the City of Birmingham, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to radiators for oil and gas stoves and consists in a method
of distributing hot air from the said radiators by means of a screw propellor, which
screw propellor is rotated by the ascending current from the flame."
In carrying out the invention according to one method, I preferably arrange an
open-work radiator of ordinary construction to stand above the stove, preferably an
oil stove, and within this radiator I place a disc or other form of rotating fan or
propellor which I cut up by suitable slots to form a series of propellor blades.
This screw propellor is placed in the direct hot air current coming from the burner
and is mounted upon a suitable spindle so that the propellor rotates rapidly. By
the centrifugal force induced by this rotation, the ascending air is largely diverted
and distributed through the room instead of being allowed to ascend to the roof
without mixing with the air of the room.
Several screws may be used and one of these screws may be arranged as a motor
screw actuated by the hot air and causing the other screw or screws to keep the air
of the room in motion, and to cause it to pass into the radiator and out of it in such
manner as to be heated rapidly and effectively, or the one screw propellor may be
used to actuate a smaller one, or one of less pitch to force a current of hot air
through a set of pipes.
Instead of screws, flat bladed wheels may be used for the same purpose.

Improvements in Radiators and Hot Air Circulating Apparatus for
Oil and Gas Stoves.
I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, trading as Rippingille Brothers, of
Sampson Works, Sampson Road North, in the City of Birmingham, 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 radiators for oil and gas stoves and consists in a method
of distributing hot air from the said radiators by means of a screw propellor, which
Ecrew propellor is rotated by the ascending current from the flame."
Referring to the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a section and Figure 2 an external elevation.
In carrying out the invention according to one method I preferably arrange an
openwork radiator A of ordinary construction to stand above the stove, preferably

page_text: an oil stove, and within this radiator. I place a rotating fan or propellor B which
I cut up by suitable slots to form a series of propellor blades. This fan may be of
disc or form other than that shown in the illustration. The screw propellor is
placed in the direct hot air current coming from the burner and is mounted upon a
suitable spindle E and provided with an adjusting screw C. The propellor thus
rotates rapidly. By the centrifugal force induced by this rotation the ascending
air is largely diverted and distributed through the room instead of being allowed to
ascend to the roof without mixing with the air of the room.
D is an open work bracket to carry the top end of the spindle.
Several screws may be used and one of these screws may be arranged as a motor
screw actuated by the hot air and causing the other screw or screws to keep the air
of the room in motion, and to cause it to pass in the radiator and out of it in such
a manner as to be heated rapidly and effectively, or the one screw propellor may
be used to actuate a smaller one or one of less pitch to force a current of hot air
through a set of pipes.
Instead of screws, flat bladed wheels may be used for the same purpose.
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 :-
:―
In stoves, a rotating propellor radiator operated by the hot air ascending from
the flame substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated.
