Improvements in Lamp Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to improvements on that class of lamp stove employed for
cooking purposes in which a bottom heat is obtained by means of a space or flue at
the bottom of the oven formed by a false bottom placed at a suitable height above
the real bottom of the stove, into which hot air is drawn and from whence it is
diffused into the oven through perforations in the top portion or false bottom.
This perforated false bottom has hitherto been a fixture; the consequence has
been that grease and other matter falling through the perforations into the bottom
space has been very difficult to remove, thereby giving rise to offensive odours on
becoming burnt.
According to the present invention this inconvenience is obviated by making the
said false bottom removable, either by mounting the same in guides to enable it to
be slidden into and out of position, or by hinging it at one side so that it can be
raised when required; or other suitable means may be employed of rendering the
same readily removable and readily fixable in position.

Improvements in Lamp Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
The invention relates to improvements on that class of lamp stove employed for
cooking purposes in which a bottom heat is obtained by means of a space or flue at the
bottom of the oven formed by a false bottom placed at a suitable height above the
real bottom of the stove, into which hot air is drawn and from whence it is diffused
into the oven through perforations in the top portion or false bottom.
This perforated false bottom has hitherto been a fixture; the consequence has
been that grease and other matter falling through the perforations into the bottom
space bas been very difficult to remove, thereby giving rise to offensive odours on
becoming burnt.
According to the present invention this inconvenience is obviated by making the
said false bottom removable, either by mounting the same in guides to enable it to
be slidden into and out of position, or by hinging it at one side so that it can be
raised when required; or other suitable means may be employed of rendering the
same readily removable and readily fixable in position.

page_text: The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is
a front view of a lamp or oil stove kitchener showing the oven door open.
Figure 2 is a cross section of parts of the sides and bottom of the oven drawn
on the line 2. 2 of Figure 4.
Figure 3 is a plan of Figure 2 and Figure 4 is a longitudinal section on the
line 44 of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a plan of the sides and bottom of an oven and
Figure 6 is a longitudinal section on the line 6. 6 of Figure 5 showing a
modification.
Referring to Figures 1 to 4. a. is the body of the stove bare oil lamps or
burners and c is an oven which has a space or flue at the bottom formed by a
false bottom o placed at a suitable height above the real bottom a' of the stove.
Into this space or flue hot air is drawn or passes from the spaces at the sides of
the oven around the lamp chimneys through the openings cet in the sides of the
oven and from such bottom space.or flue the hot air is diffused into the oven
through perforations c in the false bottom c'.
This perforated false bottom c¹ is according to the construction shown at
Figures 1 to 4 mounted on hinges at one side thereof so that when required it
can be raised and the bottom plate a' cleansed.
According to the construction shown at Figures 5 and 6 the false bottom c¹ is
mounted in guides c to enable it to be slidden into and out of position as may be
required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
clain is :-
The construction of lamp stoves of the character herein referred to with a
movable false bottom substantially as herein shown and described and for the
purpose stated.
Dated November fun out.
