COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil and Gas Stoves.
I, JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD 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:-
The object of my invention is to improve the appearance of oil or other stoves
and to procure as far as possible an effect similar to that of an open coal fire.
With this object glass tubes have been used and also strips of glass which are fixed
in the front of the stove and through which the light is seen.
My object is to improve upon these and for this purpose and as far as possible
to obtain the appearance of a glowing open fire. I paint in suitable colors or
otherwise represent upon paper or other suitable transparent or translucent material,
other than glass or talc, which can be fixed to a piece of glass or can act as a
substitute for glass a representation of fire bars and glowing coals in such an
arrangement of color that the strong light of the flame behind shall complete the
picture and shall make the whole warm and brilliant. I find the ordinary glacier
window label a suitable material for my above purpose.
For the necessary protection from the heat of the flames any ordinary arrange-
ment can be adopted such for example as an additional sheet of glass.
The transparencies or fire representations can be fixed or loose and can be
made of any suitable size and can be fitted so as to form part of the chimney,
that is, to assist in the combustion of the stove or otherwise as may be desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The application to an oil or other heating stove of an ornamental transparency
formed of any suitable material, other than glass or talc, attached to a sheet of
glass, or as a substitute for glass, forming part of the chimney of the stove or
independent of such chimney, that is, being necessary to the combustion in the
[Price sd7

and in either case being suitably protected from the heat, as and for the purpose
described.
2. The improvements in oil or other heating stoves substantially as hereinbefor
described.
