An Improved Kitchener Combining Cooking and Water
Heating Appliances.
We, BENJAMIN CLIFFORD SYKES, M.D., St. John's House, Cleckheaton, in the
County of York, and GEORGE BLAMIRES, of Cleckheaton aforesaid, Engineer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The object of this invention is to arrange and combine the oven or ovens and fire
so as to utilize the heat of the latter, and to expedite the "heating" of the oven or
ovens and water.
In the construction of Kitchener and water heating appliance according to this our
invention we arrange the fire grating near the floor line, the bottom of the fire range
being preferably solid, and of fire clay, slab, or bricks, the back being solid
brick work.
The oven where but one is used is placed immediately over the fire and has suitable
beating conducting passage ways or flues and diverting dampers to ensure the due
heating of the oven and water.
In some cases we employ an additional oven, at one or both sides of the main or
central oven.
The flues and dampers are so constructed and arranged so as to heat one, two, or
three of the ovens as may be required. The water heating appliance may consist
either of a copper, or iron boiler placed at the back of the fire in lieu of the solid
brick work at the back of the fire, but we prefer a coil of pipe of copper or iron,
placed partly underneath the oven and behind the same in the flue space.

to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is to arrange and combine the oven or ovens and fire
so as to utilize the heat of the latter and to expedite the "heating" of the oven or
ovens and water.
In the construction of Kitchener and water heating appliance according to this
our invention we arrange tho fire grating near the floor line, the bottom of the fire
range being preferably solid, and of fire-clay, slab or bricks, the back being solid
brick work.
The oven, where but one is used is placed immediately over the firo and has
suitable heating conducting passage ways or flues and diverting dampers to ensure
the due heating of the oven and water.
In some cases we employ an additional oven at one or both sides of the main or
central oven.
The flues and dampers are so constructed and arranged so as to heat one, two, or
three of the ovens as may be required. The water heating appliance may consist
either of a copper or iron boiler placed at the back of the fire in lieu of the solid
brick work at the back of the fire, but we prefer a coil of pipe of copper or iron
placed partly underneath the oven and behind the same in the flue space.
Such boing the nature and object of this our invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings:-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the improved Kitchener.
Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation shewing internal arrangements, flues &c.
Fig. 3 is a section on line A. B of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a section through one of the side ovens.
At 1 is the firegrating arranged as shewn near the level of the floor line 2, the
bottom of the range we prefer should be composed of a slab 3 of fire clay.
The ovens 4, 5, & 6 are arranged as shewn, where three are employed there is a
central oven and two side ones. In some cases there will be a central oven 4 and
one side oven only or there may be a central oven 4 and one or both the side
appliances 5-6 may be constructed as boilers for heating water.
At 7, 8, 9, 10 are dampers mounted on rods and provided with knobs or handles
for turning and setting the dampers according to the line of passage of the heated
gases are to pass to the several flues 11, 12, 13, and as indicated by the arrows, another

page_text: damper 10 may be employed, in some cases we arrange a coiled pipe or tubular
water heater as shewn in section at 14 or it may be a coil of pipes within the fire
grating 1.
At 15 are the doors through which fuel is supplied to the fire grating 1.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
The central oven 4 in combination with one or both side ovens 5-6 or side water
heater or water heaters 5-6 and having the diverting dampers all substantially as
herein set forth and illustrated by annexed drawings.
