Improvements in Oil Stoves.
I, JOHN ARCHIBALD KENRICK, of West Bromwich, in the County of Stafford,
Iron Founder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to oil stoves, in which a wick or wicks are employed for
giving the necessary heat to the flue chamber, oven or other part of the stove, and
has reference particularly to the manner in which I construct and arrange the gallery
and wick holder of my lamp for the purpose of enabling the wick to be examined, and
also for giving access to the oil chamber in a convenient and simple manner.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount my gallery or flue carrier upon one
or more hinges, which I provide on one part or one side of the wick holder, and
I place a catch or catches for fastening the gallery in position upon the opposite
side or ende of the gallery frame, so that the gallery may be thrown over or hinged
upon its pivots from the one side when the fastenings aro released, leaving the flame
or the wick exposed for cleaning or examination. I provide any suitable form of
hoss or ear for forming the hinge or pivot portions, and I make a catch or fastening
device in one convenient manner by means of a finger loop piece or staple which
engages with a bar or projecting stud carried upon the fixed portion of the burner
frame.
I mount the wick holder upon a pivot or pivots secured to the opposite side of the
lamp body to that upon which the gallery hinges, so that while the gallery is free to
move in one direction, that movement does not display the oil chamber, and while the
wick holder is moved in the opposite direction, it is so moved without having to
disturb the gallery from the wick itself.
1 secure the wick holder to the base or body of the oil chamber by means of a
pivotted fastening, catch or bolt of any ordinary form, fashioned in such a manner
that the movement of the gallery does not disturb the fastening of the wick holder.
I modify the form of niy pivot and hinge above the wick holder and the gallery,
together with the method of fastening and securing the same to suit the type of wick
and the form of vessel which is to be employed, and I utilise any well known form of
base or any form of raising or lowering devices when construeting stoves having my
improved combination hinge movement arranged thereon.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Stoves.
I, JOHN ARCHIBALD KENRICK, of West Bromwich, in the County of Stafford,
Iron Founder, 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 :-
My invention relates to oil stoves, in which a wick or wicks are employed for

page_text: giving the necessary heat to the flue chamber, oven, or other part of the stove, and has
reference particularly to the manner in which I construct and arrange the gallery and
wick holder of the lamp for the purpose of enabling the wick to be examined, and also
for giving access to the oil chamber in a convenient and simple manner.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter referred to,
Figure 1 is an end elevation of a portion of a stove with my invention applied
thereto and Figure 2 a plan of the stove.
Figure 3 is an end elevation and Figure 4 a plan showing the gallery or flue
carrier turned back on its hinges for exposure of the wick.
Figure 5 is an end elevation and Figure 6 a plan showing the wick holder and
gallery turned back on the hinges of the former, for giving access to the oil
chamber.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I provide a hinge connection such as A' upon
one side of the stove between the gallery or fluo carrier A and the combined.
gallery frame and the wick holder B, and I place a catch as A for fastening the
gallery in position upon the opposite side of the gallery frame, so that the gallery may
be thrown over or hinged upon its pivots from the one side when the fastening is
released, leaving the flame or the wick exposed for cleaning or examination, as
illustrated at Figures 3 and 4.
I hinge or pivot the wick holder B upon the opposite side of the stove to that upon
which the gallery hinges, so that while the gallery is free to move in one direction
that movement does not display the oil chamber, and while the wick holder is moved
in the opposite direction, it is so moved without having to disturb or detach the gallery
from its connection with the wick holder.
1 secure the wick holder to the base or body C forming the oil chamber by means
of a pivotted fastening or catch as B', fashioned in such a manner that the movement
of the gallery does not disturb the fastening of the wick holder.
I modify the form of the pivot or hinge connection of the wick holder and also of
the gallery, together with the method of fastening and securing such parts, to suit the
type of wick and the form of vessel which is to be employed, and I utilise any well
known form of base or any form of raising or lowering devices when constructing
stoves having my improved combination hinge movement arranged thereon.
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 improved construction and arrangement of parts whereby the
wick can be readily exposed for cleaning or examination, and access obtained to the oil
chamber in a convenient and simple manner, substantially as described.
2. In oil stoves, the combination with an oil chamber base, of a gallery or fluo
carrier and the wick holder or combined gallery frame and wick holder, the said
gallery and wick holder being arranged to turn in opposite directions about their
pivot or hinge connections, substantially as and for the purposes described and as
illustrated.
