An Improved Construction in or appertaining to Stoves for Heating
Rooms.
I, JOHN ROBINSON CROSTHWAITE, of the Union Foundry, Thornaby-on-Tees,
in the County of York, Ironfounder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to stoves of the kind in use for heating rooms and in
which an adjustable canopy is used to overhang the grate.
The object in view is to remove certain defects appertaining to the use of
adjustable canopies as hitherto constructed and fitted to stoves .one of which
is that when the canopy is hooked up by hinging it in sockets, although securely
suspended, the construction is unsightly if the sockets protrude and the joint or line
of division between the edge of the canopy and the face of the stove is not
soot-tight if the sockets are behind.
Another construction devised as a remedy to this provides that the canopy is
supported from the side wings resting on ledges or seats, the hinge and protruding
socket arrangement being dispensed with to attain a sightly and soot-tight joint
or line of contact between the canopy and the face of the stove, and an arrangement
substituted therefor which is the equivalent to a hinge and socket connection in the
inverted position, so that if the canopy is elevated or drawn out beyond the range
of contact of the side wings with their supporting ledges, it at once falls out if
inadvertently left go of by the person so using it.
The result attained by my invention is that the canopy is both securely and
detachably hooked to the stove by a continuous hinged joint which is soot-tight
and presents a neat and sightly appearance.
My improved joint is formed by circular or hollow recesses one extending along
the upper edge of the canopy and the other behind and along the corresponding
edge in the opening in the stove front, the edge of one recess loosely fitting the
recess of the other, so that a joint is formed on which the canopy can swing in or
out as its adjustment requires up to a certain outward position at which the edge
of cne recess is free to slip past the edge of the other recess and the canopy
becomes detachable. This occurs at some position altogether beyond what the
canopy would be lifted to for the purpose of ordinary adjustment and would in
practice approach a horizontal position and which would not be reached by mistake
or inadvertance.

An Improved Construction in or appertaining to Stoves for Heating
Rooms.
I, JOHN ROBINSON CROSTHWAITE, of the Union Foundry, Thornaby-on-Tees,
in the County of York, Ironfounder, 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 relates to stoves of the kind in use for heating rooms.and in which
an adjustable canopy is used to overhang the grate.
The object in view is to remove certain defects appertaining to the use of
adjustable canopies as hitherto constructed and fitted to stoves, one of which is that
when the canopy is hooked up by hinging it in sockets, although securely suspended,
the construction is unsightly if the sockets protrude and the joint or line of division
between the edge of the canopy and the face of the stove is not soot tight if the
sockets are behind.
Another construction devised as a remedy to this provides that the canopy is
supported from the side wings resting on ledges or seats, the hinge and protruding
socket arrangement being dispensed with to attain a sightly and soot-tight joint or
line of contact between the canopy and the face of the stove, and an arrangement
substituted therefor which is the equivalent to a hinge and socket connection in the
inverted position, so that if the canopy is elevated or drawn out beyond the range
of. contact of the side wings with their supporting ledges; it at once falls out if
inadvertently left go of by the person so.using it.
The result attained by my invention is that the canopy is both securely and
detachably hooked to the stove by a continuous hinged joint which is soot tight and
presents a neat and sightly appearance.
And in order that my invention may be clearly understood and readily carried
into effect I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the
accompanying drawing, in which
Fig. 1 illustrates a vertical sectional view of a stove embodying the essential
features of my invention and shown with the canopy closed.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the canopy open.
My improved joint is formed by two circular or.hollow recesses a¹ b' the former
extending along the upper edge of the canopy a and the latter behind and along
the corresponding edge b in the opening in the stove front, the edges of one recess
loosely fitting the recess of the other, so that a joint is formed on which the canopy
can swing in or out as its adjustment requires, up to a certain outward position at
which the edge of one recess is free to slip past the edge of the other recess and
the canopy becomes detachable. This occurs at some position altogether beyond
what the canopy would be lifted to for the purpose of ordinary adjustment and
would in practice approach a horizontal position as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1
and which would not be reached by mistake or inadvertance. The canopy is
provided with the usual side wings c and the whole retained in position by
the rest or side projection d on the inner leg of the stove front.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
An improved construction in or appertaining to stoves for heating rooms by
which the canopy can swing in and out for the purpose of adjustment on a

as and for the purpose herein described with reference to the accompanying
drawing.
