COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil, Vapour, or Spirit Cooking Stoves.
I, FRANCISCO JAVIER DE GISBERT, Engineer, of Hamburg, Passage Scholvien
No. 8, 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:―
My invention relates to "Improvements in Cooking Stoves" the object I have in
view being by the particular construction hereinafter described, to enable all the
chief parts to be readily removed and replaced. Apart from the convenience
peculiar to this method in a constructional sense, it greatly facilitates packing
and diminishes the bulk of the parcel. Usually the construction of portable oil
vapour or spirit stoves of this type is such that all or some of the parts are soldered,
brazed or riveted together, thus creating an unwieldly package and rendering repair
or replacement of a damaged part difficult.
The way and manner in which I carry out my invention will be readily under-
stood by means of the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1, is a view of the grate or stove ring c.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view of the complete stove.
Fig. 3, is a view of the combined cistern and stand a.
Fig. 4, is a view of the burner b.
_
Fig. 5, is a view of the burner with cap or cover h removed.
Fig. 6, is a view of the burner cap h.
Fig. 7, is a view of the three legs or supports for the grate ring c.
Fig. 2, shews a complete stove. a is a combined stand and cistern or reservoir
which contains petroleum or like liquid fuel. To this is soldered three, or any
other number of feet i, in the upper part of which, a hole, channel, or socket, is
formed, for the reception of the supports d. Upon these legs, or supports, d, the
grate ring c, is mounted by means of the recesses 9, as shewn in Figs. 1 and 2.
The burner may be fastened to the reservoir tube e by means of a screw f.
The mounting of the cap upon the burner b has already been fully described
in the Specification of Letters l'atent No. 17977 of 1896 and I make no claim to
per se herein.
it
In Figs. 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, the different parts constituting the complete stove,
are shewn separately, in which condition they are usually packed for exportation.
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:-
1. In an oil vapour or spirit stove employed for cooking or other purposes, the
particular construction herein described whereby said stove is built up of a series
of separate and readily disconnecting and replacable parts substantially as described.
2. In or with an oil vapour or spirit stove the combination with the combined
cistern or reservoir and stand a of the drilled, channeled, or socket feet i soldered

and supporting by means of the recesses g the loose grate ring c the respective
parts cooperating for effecting the purpose specified.
