Improvements in or relating to Oil Stoves.
I, HOWARD WILKINS WRIGHT, of 390 New John Street West, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Lamp Manufacturer, 'do hereby declare the nature
of:my said invention to be as follows:-
1
"My invention relates to the reservoirs of oil stoves and to the method of fitting
the same to the stoves.
According to my invention, I form the reservoir of one piece of metal pressed,
stamped or otherwise moulded to the required shape, the edge of reservoir
being turned over and outwards to form a flange. The top of the reservoir
is covered over by a sheet of metal, suitably formed to carry the burner, the
edges of which are turned over the flange of the reservoir, securing the top in
position.
The inner side of the walls of the stove are provided with ledges upon which the
flanges of the reservoir slide, thereby supporting such reservoir. and preventing the
bottom of the reservoir coming in contact with the surface of the bottom plate of
the stove. By these means, the leakage arising from frictional wear of the bottom
of the reservoir is obviated.

Improvements in or relating to Oil Stoves.
I, HOWARD WILKINS WRIGHT, of 390 New John Street West, Birmingham,
in the County of Warwick, Lamp Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of
my said 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 the reservoirs of oil stoves and to the method of fitting
the same to the stoves.
According to my invention, I form the reservoir of one piece of metal, pressed,
stamped, or otherwise moulded to the required shape, the edge of the reservoir
being turned over and outwards to form a flange. The top of the reservoir is
covered over by a sheet of metal carrying the usual burner and wick fittings, the
edges of the sheet of metal being turned over to enclose the flange of the reservoir
thereby securing the same.
The inner side of the walls of the stove are provided with ledges upon which the
flanges of the reservoir slide, whereby the reservoir is supported without contact
with the bottom plate of the stove thus preventing leaking through wear.
And in order that my said invention may be particularly described and ascertained,
reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawing which represents (partly
in section) a reservoir and a portion of a stove constructed according to my
invention.

page_text: a is a reservoir formed in one piece as shown and having a flange b.
c is the
top of the reservoir, the edges of which are turned over the flange, the whole
forming a lip for supporting the reservoir upon ledges d, d fixed to the sides e e
of the stove. fis the ordinary burner and wick fitting.
By the use of my invention, the leakage arising from the frictional wear of the
bottom of the reservoir against the bottom plate of the stove, when such reservoir
is removed or replaced, is avoided, the reservoir being supported at the sides and
not coming in contact with the bottom plate of the stove.
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. The improvements in or relating to oil stoves, substantially as specified.
2. In oil stoves; forming the reservoir of one piece of metal, the edge being
turned over as a flange, the top being covered by a sheet of metal (carrying the
burner fittings) the edges of which are turned over the flange, forming means
for supporting the reservoir upon ledges fixed to the stove, substantially as described
and illustrated by the drawing.
3. In oil stoves: supporting the reservoir at the sides, instead of resting upon
the bottom plate of the stove, substantially as described and illustrated by the
drawing.
