I WILLIAM RICHARD BURRIDGE of 12 Salem Street Portsmouth, (late of
245 Fratton Street Portsmouth,) Fish Frier, 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 aud by the following statement, with the aid of the
accompanying drawings:-
My invention consists of an improved flue, or chimney, made preferably of sheet
metal.
The first feature of novelty for which I seck "protection," is that of making the
uptake portion of the said flue, or chimney, in two parts, of which the upper part,
shewn in the drawings at A, is fixed, while the lower portion, (of the uptake), as
shewn in the drawings at B, is free to slide telescopically within the upper
portion.
A modification may permit of the lower portion of the uptake (as substantially
shewn at B,) sliding telescopically around the outside of the upper, and fixed
portion of the uptake, as shewn at A.
The second feature of novelty, is in the use, either of cords, or of wires, or of
chains, in conjunction with pulleys, and balance-weights, for the purpose of holding
the lower, and moveable portion of the said flue, or chimney in suspension, in order
that it may be easily raised or lowered as occasion may require.

page_text: When desirable wires, or chains may be used.
Fig. 1 is a side view of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 2 shews front elevation of Fig. 1.
Figs. 3, and 4, shew two views of chimney with a conical shaped enlargement.
Fig. 5 shews a front elevation of which Fig. 6 is an end view.
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 :-
Claim 1. A flue, or chimney made in two parts, the upper part of the uptake
being fixed, and the lower part of the uptake being free to slide either telescopically
within the upper part of the uptake, or telescopically around the outside of the
upper part of the uptake, the bottom portion of the said flue, or chimney, herein
described as the enlargement being of sufficient size, and area, to collect, and to
carry off stoam, smell, or vapour, from a fry-pan, stove, crucible, or any other
device which may be placed beneath, substantially as hereinbefore described.
Claim 2. A flue, or chimney made in two parts, the lower portion of which may
be suspended, and counterpoised by means of balance-weights, pulleys, aud cords,
substantially as herein before described.
Dated this 2nd day of November 1896.
WILLIAM RICHARD BURRIDGE.
