Improvements in or connected with Hot Air and Hot Water Heating
Apparatus in connection with Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer and WILLIAM
BRANDON Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of our invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to that class of hot, air and hot water heating apparatus: in
connection with oil stoves in which the hot air or hot water circulates in horizontal
tubes and the invention has for its object to provide simple and convenient means
for propogating plants. For this purpose we employ suitable cast standards to
fit against the uprights of such apparatus or we connect to such uprights, the
required number of brackets and to these cast uprights or to the brackets, at both
back and front of the apparatus we connect-parallel horizontal rods or bars the
upper edges of which are at a suitable distance above the upper surface of the
horizontal heating tubes. On these horizontal bars or rods are placed suitable
propogating pans which may contain nould or pots supplied with mould and may
be used for propogating seeds or cuttings. The pans preferably fit closely together.
and they are supported at such a height above the hot air or hot water pipes as to
avoid burning, and to secure a proper distribution of the heat.
The heating tubes are preferably flat on the top to secure an extensive heating
surface.

Improvements in or connected with Hot Air and Hot Water Heating
Apparatus in connection with Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
BRANDON, 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 ascertained in
and by the following statement:
The invention relates to that class of hot air and hot water heating apparatus in
connection with oil stoves in which the hot air or hot water circulates in horizontal
tubes, and the invention has for its object to provide simple and convenient means
for propagating plants. For this purpose we employ suitable cast standards to fit
against the end-uprights of such apparatus, or we connect to such end uprights
the required number of brackets, and to these cast standards or to the brackets, at
both back and front of the apparatus, we connect parallel horizontal rods or bars
the upper edges of which are at a suitable distance above the upper surface of the
horizontal heating, tubes. On these horizontal bars or rods are placed suitable
propagating pans, which may contain mould or pots supplied with mould and may
be used for propagating seeds or cuttings. The pans preferably fit closely together,
and they are supported at such a height above the hot air or hot water pipes as
to avoid burning and to secure a proper distribution of the heat. The heating
LumiQ7
:

page_text: tubes are preferably flat on the top to secure an extensive heating surface, but they
may be otherwise formed.
Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation, Figure 2 is a plan, Figure 3 is a vertical cross section
on the line 3-3 of Figure 1, and Figures 4 and 5 are details, of an oil stove hot
water heating apparatus provided with cast standards supporting bars for carrying
propagating pans, and Figure 6 is a front elevation, Figure 7 is an end elevation
and Figure 8 is a detail of a somewhat similar oil stove hot air heating apparatus
fitted with brackets on the end uprights to carry the supporting bars for the
propagating pans.
We will first describe the heating apparatus shown at Figures 1 to 5.
In this arrangement a is the heating lamp, the products of combustion and heated
air arising from which, pass upwards through the conical flue b, shown by dotted
lines in Figure 1, passing vertically through the central upright chamber c, whence
they escape through the perforated cover 61; this central upright water chamber c
communicates with the end upright water chambers e by means of the horizontal
water tubes d, which are preferably flat on their top to secure an extended heating
surface.
Thus far the said heating apparatus is well known and in common use.
According to our invention we fit against the end uprights e, cast standards f
which are provided with ledges f1 as shown more clearly at Figures 4 and 5, to receive
and support the ends of horizontal rods or bars g arranged at the back and front of the
heating apparatus and at a suitable distance above the horizontal heating tubes d,
to support pans of any suitable character for propagating plants.
We will now describe the arrangement of apparatus shown at Figures 6 to 8.
In this arrangement a is the heating lamp, c is an upright flue to receive the
products of combustion and heated air rising from the lamp, and d d are horizontal
flues communicating at one end with the flue'c and at the other with the upright
condensing flues e. e, at the bottom of which are trays e¹ to receive the condensed
products; thus far the apparatus is of well known form and in common use.
According to our invention we attach to the end uprights e. e, brackets f*, which
are formed with holes or slots f' to receive the ends of rods or bars g, which are
preferably formed with notches g¹ to fit over the bottoms of the holes or slots f² to
securely hold them in position. There are preferably a series of these holes or
slots in each edge of the brackets * to enable the bars or rods to be adjusted
as to height above the horizontal flues d as may be desired. hh are propagating
pans, which may be of any suitable construction and may be provided or not with
glazed covers has may be required. If desired other brackets may be fixed
to the end uprights e. e to carry rods or bars 9 g at such a height as to support
shallow propagating pans between the flues d. d.
It will be evident that the cast standards for the brackets f* may be applied to
either form of heating apparatus.
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 :-
:—
The combination with oil stove heating apparatus of the character herein referred
to, of standards or brackets and horizontal rods or bars supported by said standards
or brackets at a suitable distance above the horizontal heating tubes subtantially as
herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
