PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Form of Heating Stove.
HARRY CHARLES PEIRSON & GEORGE EDWARD NEWTON both of 45 Bedford Row
Holborn Art Metal Workers & Engineers do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a combination of metal & glass with
gas oil or electricity as the illuminant and arranged as follows. Into any suitable
grate Stove or Brazier-say a Brazier for illustration-we place a metal wire frame
corresponding with it in shape but smaller in size so that an annular space is left
between it & the brazier. Into this space we pack lumps of colored glass, so shaped
& irregular in outline that they will emit in varying intensity the rays proceeding
from ne illuminant placed behind them; and into the centre of such brazier or
other receptacle we place a lighted oil lamp, gas, or electric light, the rays from
which illuminate the colored glass before mentioned and give it the appearance of
a glowing coal fire. Such wire frame may also be carried over the top of such
receptacle, thus increasing the extent of the glowing top of such receptacle thus
increasing the extent of the glowing surface exhibited. The special feature of
this invention is the fact that the colored glass itself, as arranged, without the
addition of any other substance, represents a glowing coal fire when illuminated
from behind.

An Improved Form of Heating Stove.
We HARRY CHARLES PEIRSON and GEORGE EDWARD NEWTON both of 45
Bedford Row, Holborn Art Metal Workers & Engineers 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide a combination of metal & glass with
gas, oil or electricity as the illuminant & arranged as follows. Into any suitable
grate, stove or brazier-say a brazier for illustration-we place a metal wire frame
corresponding with it in shape but smaller in size so that an annular space is
left between it & the brazier. Into this space we pack lumps of colored glass, so
shaped & irregular in outline that they will emit in varying intensity the rays
proceeding from the illuminant placed behind them, & into the centre of such
brazier or other receptacle we place a lighted oil lamp gas, or electric light. The

ance of a glowing coal fire. Such wire frame may also be carried over the top of
such receptacle thus increasing the extent of the glowing surface exhibited. The
special feature of this invention is the fact that the colored glass itself, as arranged
without the addition of any other substance, represents a glowing coal fire when
illuminated from behind.
Having now particularly described the nature of our said invention, we declare
that what we claim is:-
1. A Brazier, or other form of stove having an internal wire framing as above
described the purpose of which is there set forth.
2. The use of colored glass as described, which itself shall represent burning
fuel, & our invention includes all irregularly shaped pieces, slabs, or nuggets of
colored glass of variable size & thickness & color, whether cast, blown or moulded,
it being of the essence of our invention that the colored glass itself when illumi-
nated from behind shall represent & simulate burning fuel.
Dated this 14th day of September 1897.
