Improvements in Oil Stoves for Heating Green Houses and Rooms,
and in Tea Urns and the like.
We, SAM THOMAS RICHARDSON, of 34 Rea Street, Birmingham Cycle
Manufacturer, and RICHARD PRICE, of 34 Rea Street, aforesaid, Cycle
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to portable stoves for heating green houses, sick-
rooms, bath rooms and can be carried easily from one room to another and our
invention is also applicable to tea and the like urns and to bronchitis kettles and is
so constructed as to boil the contents of the vessel by the heat arising from a
small burner and using a much smaller quantity of oil than is the case with the
present portable stoves.
In describing our invention we make a suitable vessel or boiler to hold
preferably about eight gallons of water or other suitable liquid the said vessel
having three or more suitable feet fixed to the bottom of the vessel for the same to
stand upon. From the bottom of the said vessel we carry a pipe forming a heat
retainer to about half way up the centre of the vessel and at the end of the said
pipe we form a suitable sized circular ball like chamber (or any other shape may
be used) with two or more pipes to form outlets carried from the said circular ball
like chamber to the outside of the said vessel along which pipes the hot air passes
into the room or the like for heating purposes. The said outlet pipes have their
ends preferably covered with a sort of baffle plate sloping away from the side of
the vessel so that the hot air in striking against the plates is thrown downward.
On the top of the said vessel I place a loose cover or lid to enable the hot water to
be taken out of the vessel when required and for refilling the same and on the said
cover or lid I prefer to fix a small valve for allowing extra steam that may be
generated to escape and so prevent any danger of explosions.
The pipe forming the heat retainer that is carried from the said round or other
shaped chamber to the bottom of the said vessel is projected a suitable distance
through the bottom of the vessel for the purpose of fitting on to the gallery of
the oil lamp and being gripped thereon the said pipe so covering the light of the
burner.
The cistern of the said oil lamp is carried by a suitable ring formed with three
projecting pieces the ends of which are fixed to the legs formed on the stove the
said ring has a suitable fastening for fixing the oil cistern to the same.
Instead of making the said vessel or boiler in one with the legs to carry the
same we may make it separate and a suitable stand with the oil vessel combined
for placing the said vessel thereon when required.
In applying this invention to tea and the like urns we heat the contents of the
urn similarly as above described the contents being drawn off by a tap in the usual
manner.

We, SAM THOMAS RICHARDSON, of 34, Rea Street, Birmingham, Cycle
Manufacturer, and RICHARD PRICE, of 34, Rea Street, aforesaid, Cycle
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 has reference to portable stoves for heating green houses, sick
rooms, bath rooms, and to tea and like urns and bronchitis kettles. By our
invention, we so construct the said stoves urns and kettles that the water contained
in the same will be boiled by the flame of a small oil lamp burning but a small
quantity of oil in comparison to the heat obtained.
We will describe this invention by referring to the accompanying drawing on
which Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of a stove constructed according to this
invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional plan of the same on line X X of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a part sectional elevation of a slightly modified form of the said stove.
The same letters of reference indicate the same or corresponding parts in all the
figures of the drawing.
In carrying out this invention we provide a suitable thin sheet metal vessel or
boiler A preferably of a cylindrical form and suitably supported in an upright
position as by the three feet or legs B1 B2 B3. Within the vessel A we provide a
small upright pipe a² the bottom of which is open and extends from the bottom a¹
of the vessel A to somewhere about half way up the vessel where it is enlarged in
the form of a chamber a preferably of a spherical form from which there are two
outlet pipes a a terminating at the sides of the vessel A. C is a small oil lamp
standing on a base B* fixed to the legs B' B2 B and arranged to take against the
lower end of the pipe a³ so that the heat and flame from the lamp passes up the
pipe a into the chamber a and through the side pipes as a to the outside of
the vessel A and away into the room for heating the same. The vessel A is partly
filled with water which by the pipe a' chamber a and pipes as a soon becomes
heated and the heat is given off from the sides of the vessel A. There is also a
supply of hot water in the vessel A for various purposes for which it may be
required. The outlet pipes as a are by preference made with their outer ends
covered with baffle plates d sloping from the sides of the vessel A so that the hot
air in striking the baffle plates d is thrown downwardly. E is a suitable removable
cover which covers the top of the vessel A and this is or may be provided with an
ordinary small safety valve e' to prevent an excess of steam pressure within the
vessel A. The pipe a is by preference made to project slightly beyond the
bottom a¹ of the vessel A. so as to fit against the gallery of the oil lamp C.
The legs or feet B' B2 B3 may either be permanently fixed to the vessel A. as
in Figs. 1 and 2, or as shewn in Fig. 3 the legs B B2 B3 may be made separate
from the vessel A and be fixed to a ring B' on which the bottom of the vessel A
will fit.
Our invention is applied to tea urns and bronchitis kettles similarly as above
described with reference to heating stoves the vessel A being made with a tap for
the withdrawal of the water and in the case of a bronchitis kettle the cover E
may be made with a spout e as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1 for the
escape of the steam.

page_text: 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
claim is :-
1. In oil stoves tea urns and bronchitis kettles and in combination with the
vessel for containing water and the oil lamp underneath said vessel for heating the
same, the employment of the pipes marked as a as a arranged within said vessel
to receive the heat from the lamp and convey the same through the water and
through the sides of the vessel, substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. In oil stoves tea urns and bronchitis kettles and in combination with the
vessel for containing water and the oil lamp underneath said vessel for heating the
same, the employment of the pipes marked a² a as a arranged within said vessel
to receive the heat from the lamp and convey the same through the water and
through the sides of the vessel, and the baffle plates d d' fixed outside the open ends
of the pipes as a to prevent the heat from passing too quickly through the same,
substantially as herein before described.
3. An oil stove or tea urn or bronchitis kettle consisting essentially of the
vessel A made with a removable cover, the tripod stand B' B2 B3 for supporting
the same, the oil lamp supported by said stand, the pipe a projecting through the
bottom of said vessel and around the lamp burner and carried up within said
vessel, the pipes as a connected to the chamber a at the top of the pipe a and
opening out into the sides of said vessel, and the baffle pates d d' arranged out-
side the openings of the pipes a a all substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
