We, JOSEPH TAYLOR and LAMBERT ASIIWORTH, of the firm of A. & J. Gilbert
and Company, Wellington Potteries, Stopes, Little Lever, near Bolton, in the
County of Lancaster, Earthenware Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in chimney pots, and has for its object
the prevention of down draught.
We construct our improved chimney pot of any suitable material preferably of
earthenware and in any convenient number of parts. The upper portion is
preferably a cylindrical dome with a series of louvre openings. The superposed
obliquely set ring shaped plates which. form the louvre openings are made deep
enough to overlap each other a considerable distance so as to form an air passage
and efficient wind trap.
The upper portion of the chimney pot fits over a collar on the base or lower
portion which is preferably square in cross section and is made with four funnel
shaped or bell mouthed air passages one at each corner leading say from near the
bottom of the exterior upward and inward into the interior of the pot and so assist
the up draught of the chimney from whichever quarter the wind may be blowing.
Dated this Sth day of February 1898.

Our invention relates to improvements in chimney pots, and has for its object
the prevention of down draught.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of our improved chimney pot.
Figures 2 and 3 are elevations, partly sectional and on a larger scale, of the
upper and lower portions respectively and Figure 4 is a sectional plan taken on the
plane of the line A, A (Fig. 3).

page_text: We construct our improved chimney pot of any suitable material preferably of
earthenware and in any convenient number of parts.
In the drawings we show the chimney pot made in two parts of which the upper
portion B is preferably a cylindrical dome with a series of louvre openings. The
superposed obliquely-set ring shaped plates c, which form the louvre openings, are
made deep enough to overlap each other a considerable distance so as to form an
air passage and efficient wind trap. Instead of the rings c being plain as shewn
they may be curved or bell-mouthed at their lower extremities or be otherwise
suitably shaped if desired.
The upper portion B fits over a collar d formed on the base or lower portion E,
and is secured in position by mortar or cement.
The lower portion E is preferably square in cross section and is made with four
funnel shaped or bell mouthed air passages f one at each corner leading say from
near the bottom of the exterior upward and inward into the interior of the pot, and
so assist the up-draught of the chimney from whichever quarter the wind may
be blowing.
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 :
In combination, in a chimney pot, an upper part formed with a series of louvre
openings and a lower portion formed with four funnel shaped air passages sub-
stantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
