ARTHUR CHARLES HENDERSON, of 6, Southampton Buildings, Holborn, in the
County of Middlesex. "IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS STOVES FOR HEATING PURPOSES."
A communication from abroad by Messieurs André and Legrand, of Lyon, in the
Department of Rhone, in the Republic of France.
The features of novelty in the improved gas stove the subject of the present
Invention consists in adapting to the lower part of the stove an undulated or
smooth cone in form of a parabola, permitting of the reflection of the light and heat
given by the burning gas.
In order to prevent any smell of the burning gas, to the upper part of the stove
a disc of refractory brick is applied, absorbing the heat and smell, or at the side of
the stove may also be adapted a pipe for the escape of the burnt gas.
The accompanying Drawings represent by Fig. 1 a sectional elevation of the
stove, Fig. 2 a front elevation thereof, and Fig. 3 a plan and horizontal section
following the line x-y of Fig. 1.
A is the body of the stove; B, base of the stove supported by feet; C, cone in
form of a parabola either smooth or undulated, and polished for reflecting the light
and heat; D, burner formed of a hollow circular tube pierced with vertical or
horizontal holes for the escape of the gas; E, E¹, supports to the body of the
stove.
The hollow support E¹ serves as delivery pipe of gas to the burner, the two
others are merely supports to the burner and stove.

page_text: F, convex disc pierced with an annular hole for the passage of a current of air.
This disc is connected to another concave one G by means of metal pieces rivited
to the body of the stove. H, disc pierced with holes for the direct escape of the
heat when no refractory brick is used, A key opens and closes the openings. At
the upper part of the stove a cap can be placed when refractory brick is employed.
I, heat exits; J, tap for taking in gas.
Finally, what the inventors claim is,―
1st. The parabolic truncated cone or other shaped body, smooth or undulated,
and polished for reflecting light and heat.
2nd. The employment or adaptation of a refractory brick at the upper part of
the stove for absorbing the smell of the burnt gas.
3rd. The application of a circular burner inside the body of the stove..
