Year: 1881

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to James Bazeley Petter, of Yeovil, in the County of
Somerset, Ironmonger, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN STOVES AND
ה
"
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said James Bazeley Petter at the
Office of the Cominissioners of Patents on the 17th November 1881.
JAMES BAZELEY PETTER, of Yeovil, in the County of Somerset, Ironmonger.
"IMPROVEMENTS IN STOVES AND FIRE-PLACES."
This Invention relates to improvements in the arrangement and construction of
stoves and fire-places for burning fuel, gas, or oil.
The stove consists of a nautilus or shell shaped hood which contains the fuel,
gas, or oil used for obtaining heat, and the smoke and heated gases from which
pass into the centre or axis of the shell, and are carried thence by one or more
Bues into the chimney, thus retaining the heat produced in a chamber, from which
externally a considerable amount of heat is obtained, as well as from the open
fire direct in cases where fuel is used, or from the burners direct in cases where
gas or oil is used.
Provision is made for drawing out the stove and for cleaning the flues.
Gills for radiating heat may be applied or formed on the outer surface of the
shell, or otherwise,

"IMPROVEMENTS IN STOVES AND FIRE PLACES."
This Invention relates to improvements in the arrangement and construction of
stoves and fire places for burning fuel, gas, or oil.
The stove consists of a nautilus or shell shaped hood which contains the fuel, gas,
or oil used for obtaining heat, and the smoke and heated gases from which pass
into the centre or axis of the shell, and are carried thence by one or more flues into
the chimney, thus retaining the heat produced in a chamber, from which externally
a considerable amount of heat is obtained, as well as from the open fire direct, in
cases where fuel is used, or from the burners direct in cases where gas or oil is
used.
Provision is made for drawing out the stove and for cleaning the flues.
Gills for radiating heat may be applied or formed on the outer surface of the
shell or otherwise.
And in order that my Invention_may_be_clearly_understood-and-readily-carried
into practice, I will proceed to describe the Drawings hereto annexed.
Figure 1 shows a front view; Figure 2, a transverse section; and Figure 3, a
plan of a stove or fire place arranged and constructed in accordance with my
improvements.
a is a nautilus or shell shaped hood, the lower concave part al of which contains
the fuel for obtaining heat, such as cal, cke, wood, peat, patent or other fuel, or
burners for consuming oil or gas, combined with asbestos or otherwise, may be
arranged therein.
The smoke and heated gases pass upwards and around the interior of the hood a,
and the smoke is conducted away by one or more flues b, b, through the axis b¹ of
the shell, or by one or more flues c, c, from the axis b' through the hood a, the
heat being radiated from the outer surfaces of the stove into the chamber or place
where it is used.
Gills or radiating surfaces of various forms may be applied to the outer surface
of the stove if required.
Air chambers may be formed on the outer surface of the shell, into which the
exterior atmosphere might be introduced (when required), and warmed before
entering the apartment to be heated.
1 would here remark that my improvements are also applicable to stoves and
fire places used for various purposes, such, for example, as cooking stoves of various
forins.
Figure 4 is a front view, Figure 5 a vertical section, and Figure 6 a transverse
section of a cooking stove arranged and constructed with a nautilus or shell shaped
hood or fire chamber in accordance with my improvements. The parts which
correspond with those previously described with reference to Figures 1, 2, and 3
are marked with similar letters of reference, and therefore require no further
description.
Figures 7 and 8 shew the application of my improved stove or fire place to a
Leamington kitchen range.

page_text: It will be seen that when the dampers in the top flues b, b, Figure 5, are open
the heat and products of combustion pass direct into the chimney; but when they
are closed the heated products descend through side flues, and pass through ues
under the oven into the flues leading into the chimney just above the floor.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention, and the manner of performing
or carrying the same into practical effect, I would remark that I do not claim any
of the parts separately, which are well known and in common use, but what I
claim is,
First. The improved arrangement and construction of stoves for burning fuel,
gas, or oil, of nautilus or shell shape form, such as a, combined with a flue or flues
such as b, b', or c, c, acting substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein
before described and represented in Figures 1, 2, and 3 of the Drawings hereto
annexed.
Secondly. I claim the improved construction of cooking stoves, arranged sub-
stantially in the manner herein before described with reference to Figures 4, 5, 6, 7,
and 8 of the Drawings hereto annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said James Bazeley Petter, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twelfth day of May, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
JAMES DAZELEY PETTER. (L.S.)
