PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoves for Supplying Dry or Damp Air of a
Moderate Temperature.
I, CHARLES ALLAN JONES of Hatherley Works Gloucester, Solicitor and
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
A chamber into which the products of combustion have to pass before they can get
away through one or more flues connected to the lower portion of the said chamber
for that purpose. In order to absorb and utilize the greatest amount of heat from this
chamber I surround it with a jacket open at the bottom and top which induces an
upward current of pure air which gets heated in its passage. To produce a damp air
I place an open vessel on the top of the first mentioned chamber and keep it supplied
with water of any desired level by connecting it with a pipe to a water supply of that
same level which is maintained at that level by an inverted vessel of water supported
by atmospheric pressure on the principle of the ordinary "fowl fountain." As the
water in the vessel evaporates the vapour mixes with the pure hot air current. This
current of air can be carried into any direction by means of a suitable flue or pipe.
This form of stove is specially suited for oil lamps or gas.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoves for Supplying Dry or Damp Air of a
Moderate Temperature.
I CHARLES ALLAN JONES of Hatherley Works Gloucester 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, reference
being made to the accompanying sectional drawings
:-
A chamber A into which the products of combustion from the lamp M or other
source of heat have to pass before they can get away through the annular flue or
jacket B connected to the lower portion of the said chamber A for that purpose. In
order to absorb and utilize the greatest amount of heat from this chamber I surround
it with a jacket of air Cinterposed between it and the annular flue B with
openings D D D D D D D D at the bottom and also open at the top which allows of
a constant upward current of pure air which comes in at the bottom openings cold
absorbing the heat in its passage and is delivered at the top opening heated. To
produce a heated damp air I place an open vessel E on the top of the chamber A and
keep it supplied with water of any desired level by connecting it with a pipe to a
water supply of that same level which is kept constant by a vessel of water F inverted
on a tray G as shown with a well H at one end the water in F being supported by
atmospheric pressure on the principle of the well known fowl fountain. The vessel Ĺ
can also be used as the water evaporator when a less damp atmosphere is required.
As the water in E or L evaporates the vapor mixes with the pure hot air current
from C. This current of air can be carried into any direction by means of a suitable
flue or pipe J & regulated by a damper K.
This form of stove as shown in the drawings is specially suited for oil lamps or gas
but can be made on a larger scale adapted for coal coke or other fuel.

page_text: 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 combination of parts forming the stove and water supply substantially as
herein before described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
2. In stoves for supplying dry or damp air of a moderate temperature the chamber C
substantially as hereinbefore described providing for a current of pure air heated
internally by chamber A & externally by annular flue B.
3. In stoves for supplying warm damp air the inverted vessel F & suitable water
tray & connections for securing a constant water level or feed in combination with
any suitable evaporator E substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
