Improvements relating to Gas and like Cooking Stoves.
We, JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, of the Firm of The Wright and Butler
Lamp Manufacturing Company, Limited, Manufacturers, and HARRY DARWIN,
Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City of Birming-
ham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention has for its object the construction and arrangement of gas and
like cooking stoves in such a manner as to permit of ready and convenient pack-
ing or coating with the silicate cotton or other suitable non-conducting material,
and to effectually prevent the access to such material of greasy or other sub-
stances from the interior of the stove.
In carrying our invention into effect we make the body of a cooking stove
preferably from flanged cast iron plates having their adjacent edges so shaped
as to enable them to be conveniently bolted or secured together to form even
surfaces on the interior or oven side. In the space between the edge flanges on
the exterior of the stove plates we insert the silicate cotton or other non-conduct-
ing material, and cover the same with outer panels of cast iron ornamented as
desired, or with enamelled steel or other sheets; the said panels or sheets are
retained in position by screws, bolts and nuts, or in any other convenient manner.
We preferably employ enamelled steel plates on the interior of the stove,
which can be readily attached with or detached from the main or cast plates for
convenience in cleaning, but any greasy or other substance from the interior of
the stove which may pass through between the adjacent edges of such independent
plates will be prevented by the cast iron plates from obtaining access to the
packing material.
By thus providing for the packing or coating of the stove with non-conducting
material entirely on the exterior of the stove and in the box like chambers formed
by the flanged main plates and the separate panel or cover plates, we effectually
preserve the non-conducting material and keep it in a cleanly and serviceable
condition.
Dated this 25th day of April 1899.

page_text: Foreman, both of Bristol Works, New John Street West, in the City of Birming-
ham, 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:-
Our invention has for its object the construction and arrangement of gas and
like cooking stoves in such a manner as to permit of ready and convenient pack-
ing or coating with the silicate cotton or other suitable non-conducting material,
and to effectually prevent the access to such material of greasy or other sub-
stances from the interior of the stove.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred to
Figure 1 is a sectional elevation and Figure 2 a sectional plan of the body of
à cooking stove as constructed and arranged in accordance with our invention.
The same reference letters in the two views indicate the same parts.
In carrying our invention into effect we make the body of a cooking stove
preferably from flanged cast iron plates, as a b c, having their adjacent edges
so shaped as to enable them to be conveniently bolted or secured together exter-
nally and to form plain and even surfaces on the interior or oven side as illus-
trated. The hinged door or front d is fitted to the body part in any ordinary
manner. In the space between the edge flanges on the exterior of the stove
plates we insert the silicate cotton or other non-conducting material as e, and
cover the same with outer panels as f g and h of cast iron ornamented as desired,
or with enamelled steel or other sheets; the said panels or sheets are retained in
position by screws, bolts and nuts, or in any other convenient manner.
We preferably employ enamelled steel plates on the interior of the stove,
which can be readily attached with or detached from the main or cast plates for
convenience in cleaning, but any greasy or other substance from the interior of
the stove which may pass through between the adjacent edges of such independent
plates will be prevented by the cast iron plates from obtaining access to the
packing material.
By thus providing for the packing or coating of the stove with non-conducting
material entirely on the exterior of the stove and in the box like chambers formed
by the flanged main plates and the separate panel or cover plates we effectually
preserve the non-conducting material and keep it in a cleanly and serviceable
condition.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is :-
1. In cooking stoves, the construction and arrangement of parts permitting
of ready and convenient external packing or coating of the stove body
with non-conducting material and preventing access to the said material of
greasy or other substances from the interior of the stove, substantially as
described.
2. A cooking stove having a body with plain and even surfaces on its interior,
and box like charbers on its exterior formed by flanged main plates and panel
or cover plates the said chambers being packed with non-conducting material to
which access is unattainable from the interior of the stove, substantially as
described and as illustrated.
