I, DAVID COWAN, of Mount Gerald, Larbert, in the County of Stirling, North
Britain, Civil Engineer, Manager for Carron Company, incorporated by Royal Charter,
do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows, that is to say :-
My said Invention relates to stoves or detached fire places constructed wholly or
principally of castiron, and of the kind from which the smoke or gaseous products of
combustion are led away by a pipe; and my object is to construct such stoves in a
manner to facilitate the adaptation of the smoke pipes to them and to the apartments
in which they are placed.
In some cases it is most convenient for the smoke pipe to proceed upwards from the
stove whilst in other cases it is most convenient for it to proceed horizontally from it;
and in carrying out my Invention instead of making stoves of two or more different
patterns as regards the arrangement for the attachment of the smoke pipe, I make
each stove so that the smoke pipe may be attached to it either vertically or horizontally.
I arrange the smoke flue inside of the stove so as to communicate with two openings
one in the top and the other in the back of the shell or outer casing of the stove.
These two openings are of exactly the same size, and a single cap or closing plate is
provided for closing whichever of the two openings the smoke pipe is in any case not
litted to. The closing plate is by preference made so as when in position to be flush
with the outside of the stove, and it is fitted with a bayonet joint so that it is secured
by turning it partly round after placing it in the opening.

page_text: Improvements in Stoves or Detached Fire Places.
I, DAVID COWAN, of Mount Gerald, Larbert, in the County of Stirling, North
Britain, Civil Engineer, Manager for Carron Company, incorporated by Royal
Charter, 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, that is to say:
My said Invention relates to stoves or detached fire places constructed wholly or
principally of castiron, and of the kind from which the smoke or gaseous products of
combustion are led away by a pipe; and my object is to construct such stoves in a
manner to facilitate the adaptation of the smoke pipes to them and to the apartments
in which they are placed.
In some cases it is most convenient for the smoke pipe to proceed upwards from the
stove whilst in other cases it is most convenient for it to proceed horizontally from it;
and in carrying out my Invention instead of making stoves of two or more different
patterns as regards the arrangement for the attachment of the smoke pipe, I make
each stove so that the smoke pipe may be attached to it either vertically or horizontally.
I arrange the smoke flue inside of the stove. so as to communicate with two openings
one in the top and the other in the back of the shell or outer casing of the stove.
These two openings are of exactly the same size, and a single cap or closing plate is
provided for closing whichever of the two openings the smoke pipe is in any case not
fitted to. The closing plate is by preference made so as when in position to be flush
with the outside of the stove, and it is fitted with a bayonet joint so that it is secured
by turning it partly round after placing it in the opening.
My improvements are shown on an accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings
in which figure, 1, is a vertical section and figure, 2, a horizontal section of the back
part of a stove or detached fire place. In these drawings the same reference numerals
are used to mark the same or like parts wherever they are repeated.
The stove may be of any suitable known construction as regards the fire box, 4,
smoke flues, 5, and hot air spaces, 6, which latter are formed between the fire box and
the internal flues and an outer perforated casing or shell, 7. The course of the smoke
or gaseous products of combustion through the flues, 5, is directed and regulated by a
damper in the form of a sliding grating, 8, fitted upon a partition, 9, which damper, 8,
can be opened or more or less closed by means of a handle, 10. For leading away
the smoke the stove is constructed with a vertical and a horizontal outlet nozzle or
opening, 11, 12, placed one, 11, in an opening in the top and the other, 12, in an
opening in the back of the shell
outer casing, 7, of the stove. These two
nozzles, 11, 12,, are of exactly the same form and size; and a single cap, or closing
plate, 13, is provided for closing whichever of the two nozzles the smoke pipe (not
shown) is in any case not to be fitted to. The cap, 13, which is shown in the drawings
a applied to the vertical or top nozzle, 11, is by preference made so as when in
or

joints, 14, so as to be secured by turning it partly round after placing it on either of
the nozzles, 11, 12.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-
Making stoves or detached fireplaces with similar outlet nozzles for the attachment
of a smoke pipe both at the top and back a cap or cover being provided for closing
whichever nozzle is not to be used substantially as hereinbefore described.
