Improvements relating to Oil Stoves.
I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, of the Firm of The Frank Rippingille
Stove Company Limited, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick,
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 :-
This invention relates to the provision of simple and effective means whereby on
the insertion or withdrawal of the oil tank and its attached fittings from a stove or
stove casing, the burner cones shall be automatically raised clear of the burners to
permit of such movement of the tank and dropped or lowered into position when
the tank is drawn clear or is placed in its working position.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to:-
Figure 1 is an elevation of the interior of a part of a stove casing and Figure 2
a sectional plan of the same, representing the application of my invention.
At the side A of the casing, opposite to the tank admission aperture B, I hinge
a plate C, such plate being preferably formed in one piece with the cones C¹ C³.
On the underside of the plate CI provide inclined or tapered ribs such as C3 C*
with a groove at the inner end of each for the reception of the pins or lugs D D¹
formed upon or attached to the framing E' or to some other suitable part of the
oil tank E or its attachments.
Upon drawing the tank E in the direction indicated by the arrow at Figure 1,
the binged plate is raised, by the sliding of the lugs D D' along the inclined or
tapered ribs C C, to a position such as indicated by the dotted lines thus
permitting the tank E with its burners and fittings to be completely withdrawn
through the aperture B without fouling the cone plate C or the cones C¹ C³.
When the tank is drawn clear of the stove the cone plate descends by its own
weight until it is brought to rest upon bearers or projections such as F F
(Figure 2) from the stove casing.
On inserting or sliding the tank E within the casing the cones and cone plate
are in like manner raised by the pins or lugs D D¹ acting on the ribs or
projections C³ C* until the tank has reached its working position, when, by the
shape of the ribs or projections, the plate and cones will drop into the position
shown by the full lines at Figure 1.
I provide a front plate C to close the aperture B after the tank has been placed
in position.
do not limit the application of my invention to stoves of any one type or
pattern but adapt it to cooking or heating stoves of various forms making such
modifications as may be necessary to meet the requirements of any particular
service.
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. In oil stoves the method of automatically raising and lowering the burner
cones with the movement of the oil tank, substantially as described.
2. In oil stoves the use of a hinged cone plate having inclined ribs or projections

page_text: on its underside, in combination with pins or projections from the oil tank, substan-
tially as and for the purposes described and as illustrated.
3. The general construction and combination of parts forming the improvements
relating to oil stoves substantially as and for the purposes described and as
illustrated.
