From the
This invention has for its object certain improvements in stoves, both for heating
and cooking purposes, and consists in certain novel means for distributing the hot
air supplied from gas oil or ignited fuel, The upper part of the stove is divided
and so arranged that the heat when ascending is driven off by the aid of a revolving
fan, motion being imparted to the same by the heat arrising from the flame from a
lamp gas or fuel, above the fan is an inverted metal cone which the heat strikes in
passing upwards, the upper part of which is a radiating plate which throws back
the heat through appertures which are provided in a chamber surrounding the cone,
cousequently the heat travels over a greater radius by this means.
upper part of the chamber are inserted two return tubes for conveying the heat
back for the purpose of purifying the hot air, If a lamp is used for this purpose
an arrangement is made that the oil tank is fitted outside the stove and detached
from the burner, The supply to the wick being through a tube connected to the
bottom of the oil tank, this prevents the oil from becoming heated, The supply
may be shut off by means of a stop cock, The front of the stove is made to
represent a fire grate, the interior of which is fitted with various colored glass,
made to appear like ignited fuel, above the said colored glass there is placed a
piece of tinted glass, being backed by a piece of sheet metal, portions being cut
away to represent a flame, as a preference central draught lamps are used for this
purpose, the flame spreader of which is made adjustable for raising and lowering,
but flat wick burners may be applied to effect the same object, with the addition of
certain improvements, consisting of certain alterations to dispense with the ordinary
lamp chimney or metal case surrounding the burner, the same being effected by
means of a metal plate which surrounds the wick passage, sufficient space being
left that air may pass between the said plate and burner, attached to the said plate
nie two pieces of metal which are inclined inwards, the flame passing between the
two causing a perfect combustion, This form of stove may be used for heating
greenhouses, with the addition of a cylinder being placed upon the top of the stove,
the said cylinder being fitted with an inverted cone and fan arrangement, There
are certain holes made in the upper case to receive tubes, the said tubes being used
for the purpose of discharging the hot air in various directions increasing the
temperature very rapidly, In connection with the stove an arrangement is made
to decrease the temperature of a greenhouse, by means of a glass coil containing
mercury, which is driven forward in the coil by a spirit giving off vapour when
heated, The hot air cylinder may be encircled by a similar one for the purpose of
being supplied with water, which becomes heated by the heat arrising from the flame
of the lamp which strikes against several cross tubes, The hot water may be
conveyed along horizontal tubes, so as to distribute the heat to a greater distance,
The stove may also be used for cooking purposes, by the addition of a hot water
tank fitted to the upper part of the stove, the heat passing upwards through a
central tube, The said tube containg several cross ones which the heat comes

page_text: in contact with, which brings the water to boiling point, The steam being
generated in the tank is forced along tubes on either side of the stove, on the
upper part of the tubes there are certain openings upon which are placed metal
trays with concave bottoms, so as the condensed steam may pass back to the
boiler, when in operation pans with perforated bottoms are placed over the trays
so as the steam may pass into the paus for the purpose of cooking food, when the
steam is required to be shut off, the pan is moved partly round, causing a perforated
metal plate to close, The upper part of the stove is used for the purpose of
attaching an oven, so that meat may be cooked by heat as well as steam, on the
under side of the oven a tube is fitted which comes directly over the one passing up
through the hot water tank.

Improvements in Stoves, and Devices in connection therewith.
I GEORGE WOOLLISCROFT of Grange West Kirby in the County of Chester
Ironmonger and HERBERT GARLAND of 4 South Road West Kirby in the County
of Chester Mechanician 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 :-
Our invention has for its object improvements in stoves and devices in connection
therewith for both cooking and heating purposes and consists of certain novel means
for producing and distributing the hot air with an economy of oil, gas or any other
fuel which may be used. This we effect in a cheap simple and clean manner
without the possibility of any objectionable smells arising therefrom.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice we have appended hereunto two sheets of drawings upon which we
have fully illustrated the nature of our said improvements together with the mode
of & means for carrying the same into effect.
Figure 1 is a section through one of my stoves.
Figure 2 is an elevation of same.
Figure 3 is a section shewing the application to a cooking arrangement.
Figure 4 is an elevation of a modified form of burner.
Figure 5 is a section through Figure 4.
Figure 6 is a section shewing one of my radiating stoves applied to an ordinary
hand lamp.
In carrying my invention into effect the upper part A of the stove is divided and
so arranged that the heat ascending is driven off by the aid of the revolving fan B
motion being imparted to the same by the heat arising from the flame of the
lamp C or its equivalent in gas or fuel. Above the fan the radiating plate D is
provided & throws back the heat through apertures a' which are provided in the
top of the chamber A by which means the heat is caused to travel over a greater
radius. In case of a lamp being used for this purpose an arrangement may be made
by which the oil tank F is fitted outside the stove as shewn by dotted lines f¹ being
then detached from the burner the supply to the wick being through tubes 2
connected to the bottom of the oil tank by which means the oil is prevented from
becoming heated while the supply may be shut off by means of a stop cock. The
front of the stove is made to represent a firegrate as shewn by H Figure 1 the
interior of which is fitted with various kinds of colored glass so as to have
the appearance of ignited fuel above the colored glass a piece of tinted glass is
fixed which is backed by a piece of sheet metal at portions being cut away

page_text: to represent a flame. In connection with these stoves we prefer to use the
central draught lamps as set forth in our Patent 14042 A.D. 1894 but flat wick
bur. crs may be applied to effect the same object in which case we add certain
improvements by which we dispense with the ordinary lamp chinney or metal
case surrounding the burner this being effected by means such as shewn by
Figures 4 and 5 where the perforated metal plate P surrounds the wick passage
sufficient space being left for air to pass between the said plate and burner.
Attached to the said plate are two pieces of metal J which are inclined inwards
the flame passing between the two and thereby causing a perfect combustion. This
form of stove may be used for heating green-houses with the additio 1 of a cylinder
being placed upon the top of the stove the said cylinder being fitted with an
inverted cone and fan arrangement such as shewn by Figure 6. Holes may be
provided in the upper case to receive tubes, the said tubes being used for the
purpose of discharging the hot air in various directions thereby incre using the
temperature very rapidly. The hot air cylinder A Figure 3 may be encircled
by another for the purpose of being supplied with water which becomes heated
by the heat arising froin the flame of the lamp striking against several cross
tubes through which the water circulates. The hot water may also be conveyed
along horizontal tubes so as to distribute the heat to a greater distance. This stove
may be used for cooking purposes by the addition of a hot water tank a³ which is
fitted to the upper part of the stove the beat passing upwards through a central
tube a the said tube containing several cross ones a with which the heat comes in
contact thus bringing the water to a boiling point the steam thus generated in the
tank is forced along tubes a on either side of the stove and upon these tubes the
openings a are provided upon which are placed metal trays a' with concave hottoms
so formed that the condensed steam may pass back to the boiler. In operation pans
or pots K with perforated bottoms are placed over the trays so that the steam may
pass into the pans for the purpose of cooking food.
When the steam is required to
he shut off the pan is moved partly round causing a perforated metal plate to close
on the well known hit and miss principle. The upper part of the stove may
be used for the purpose of containing the oven M so that food may be cooked by
heat as well as steam the tubes as being fitted at the under side of the oven which
comes directly over the one passing up through the hot water tank so as to carry
the heat around the said oven.
Having now particularly ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what
mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
1st. The improvements in stoves and devices in connection therewith substantially
as and for the purpose herein set forth and shewn upon the accompanying drawings.
2nd. The improvements in heating stoves consisting of the chamber A and
radiating fan B in combination with a lamp C or its equivalent substantially as
herein set forth and described with regard to Figures 1, 2 and 6.
3rd. In beating stoves the flat wick burner with perforated plates P and air
guides J substantially as herein set forth and shewn by Figures 4 and 5.
4th. In heating stoves the colored glass imitation of buruing fuel with perforated
metal back to imitate flames substantially as herein set forth and shewn by
Figure 2.
5th. In heating stoves the mode of and means for generating and utilizing the
steam and heat for cooking purposes substantially as herein set forth and shewn by
Figure 3.
Dated the 23rd day of August 1894.
