PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer and WILLIAM
BRANDON, Foreman, both of The Albion Lamp Company, Aston Brook Lamp
Works, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of
our invention to be as follows:-
The invention has for its object improvements in or connected with oil stoves
having an exposed chimney mounted over the tank and a seat for a culinary vessel
at the top of the chimney and consists in the adaptation thereto of a trivet or
stand to support a vessel, receiver or utensil at the side of the chimney to keep
the contents warm while something else is being cooked or boiled on the seat at the
top of the chimney.
"
For this purpose we provide the rear edge of the trivet with preferably two legs
or brackets and we cast or fix on the top of the tank or on the cone plate or base
plate of the movable chimney corresponding sockets to receive said legs or brackets
and such legs or brackets and sockets may be so arranged as to permit of the trivet
being turned on one of said legs or brackets away from the chimney when required.
In some cases the trivet may be divided, each portion having its own leg or
bracket and capable of being turned thereon so as to cause the two parts to
meet and form a complete trivet or to be somewhat separated from each other
to form a more extended support for large articles or turned outwards away
from each other to free the light-aperture of the chimney.
It will be evident that the trivet may be provided with the sockets and the
cone plate or base plate of the movable chimney may be provided with pins or
studs on which the trivet can be supported.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
BRANDON, Foreman, both of The Albion Lamp Company, 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 has for its object improvements in or connected with oil stoves
having an exposed chimney mounted over the tank and a seat for a culinary vessel
at the top of the chimney, and consists in the adaptation thereto of a trivet or
stand to support a vessel receiver or utensil at the side of the chimney to keep the
contents warm while something else is being cooked or boiled on the seat at the
top of the chimney.
For this purpose we provide the rear edge of the trivet with preferably two legs
or brackets, and we cast or fix on the top of the tank or on the cone plate or base
plate of the movable chimney, corresponding sockets to receive said legs or
brackets, and such legs or brackets and sockets may be so arranged as to permit of
the trivet being turned on one of said legs or brackets away from the chimney
when required.

page_text: In some cases the trivet may be divided, each portion having its own leg or
bracket and capable of being turned thereon, so as to cause the two parts to meet
and form a complete trivet or to be somewhat separated from each other to form a
more extended support for large articles, or turned outwards away from each other
to free the light aperture of the chimney.
It will be evident that the trivet may be provided with the sockets and the cone
plate or base plate of the movable chimney may be provided with pins or studs on
which the trivet can be supported.
Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in the various views
of which like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
a represents the tank, b' the cone plate or base plate of the movable chimney b,
6 the light aperture in the chimney, 6 the hinge of the chimney, c a seat for a
culinary vessel at the top of the chimney, d the burner, e. e handles fixed to the
top of the tank a,f the trivet, and rods connecting the seat c with the base
plate b and holding the chimney firmly between them.
In the stove shown at Figures 1 and 2 the trivet has connected thereto legs or
brackets f, which are of flat form in cross section and are inclined at their
lower ends to fit into corresponding sockets g g cast or fixed to the top of the
tank a.
Figure 3 represents the trivet f provided with straight vertical legs or
brackets of circular section fitting into correspondingly formed sockets g cast
on the tank top.
Figures 4 and 5 represent a trivet f with legs or brackets f' similar to those
of Figure 3 but in this case the sockets g are cast in one with one of the handles e
fixed to the tank top.
Figures 6 and 7 represent a trivet f formed with a socket ' at one end fitting
one of the rods * and capable of turning around the same, said trivet f also
having a short leg or pin at the other end, which is capable of entering a hole
in a socket g cast or fixed to the frame of the sight hole 62.
Figures 8 and 9 represent a trivet f formed in two equal parts each of which is
provided with a leg f' fitting a socket g cast on the chimney base plate or cone
plate 6'; by these means the two parts of the trivet can each be turned on its own
leg, as represented by the dotted lines to form a more extended support for large
articles or to carry two vessels or to free the light aperture 6.
Figure 10 represents a trivet f fitted with brackets f¹ of bent form capable of
passing through holes or sockets g formed in or attached to the cone plate or base
plate band of taking a bearing underneath the same.
Figures 11 and 12 represent a trivet provided with legs or brackets f¹ in the
form of headed studs capable of passing through the larger portions of key-
hole shaped openings formed in sockets fixed to the cone plate or base plate bl.
It will be evident that in all the arrangements herein shown and described the
trivet can be readily attached to and removed from the stove and can in some cases,
without removal be turned to one side.
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 stoves of the character herein referred to, of trivets,
substantially as herein shown and described.
