We, EDWARD ALEXANDER RIPPINGILLE and JAMES DAVEY RIPPINGILLE both of
the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Aston-juxta-Birmingham in the County of Warwick,
Lamp Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of said invention to be as
follows:-
The invention has for its object to simplify and cheapen the construction of lamp
stoves and relates to those classes of stoves in which a seat or seats for cooking
utensils is or are provided above the burner or burners in combination or not with
an oven.
In constructing a lamp stove without an oven we form parts of the chimney, the
feet or supports, the cone, rests or supports for a kettle or other utensil and rests or
supports for the tank in one casting and the other parts in another casting which
castings are so fitted that they can be slidden or placed together and be securely held
together by one ore more bolts, screws or rivets.
We also form the seats for culinary utensils in such manner that the main seat or
part of seat is slightly depressed below the level of the other seat or parts of seats in
order that when only one utensil is in use it shall be capable of receiving all the heat
of the stove but when more than one culinary utensil is in use they can be supported
on the slightly raised seat or seats and project somewhat over the main seat by which
means the heat will pass under all the utensils placed on the said seat. The slightly
raised seat or seats is or are formed with studs or bars rising from a plate so that the
utensil or utensils shall be raised somewhat above the plate and so form a flue space
for the products of combustion to pass under such utensils.
The screw or bolt or screws or bolts for securing the two castings together may also
serve for holding in position the label and sight glass or tale.
The supports or rests for the tank may be in the shape of ribs or flanges near the
bottoms of the feet or supports or at the bottom of the chimney in the former case
the tank would rest on the said supports and we thereby avoid the use of a bottom
plate or casting for carrying the tank, in the latter the burner would slide in or upon
the said flanges or ribs and the tank would be suspended therefrom.

page_text: Any of the arrangements well known for enabling the burner to be slidden into
position and of sealing the same may be adopted when using a hinged cone and a
single burner we provide the end plate of the cone with a knob or buttom at the side
thereof so that the cone can be held up while the lighted burner is being slidden into
position without risk of burning the hand.
If desired instead of forming all the parts above described in two castings the
chimney and other parts may be formed of two castings and the feet or supports may
be cast separately and fixed thereto by screws, bolts or rivets or the feet or supports
and the chimney may be cast in two parts and the seats or supports for the culinary
utensils in another casting.
When an oven is used we form the chimney or chimneys, rests or supports for the
tank, feet or supports and seats for culinary utensils by casting as above described
but in such case we form one side and the two ends of the chimney or chimneys
complete and we fix the oven between two of such castings, the sides of the ovens
thus forming the second side of each chimney. If desired only one chimney may be
used in combination with the oven as above described.
We also form the top and bottom of the oven with heating arrangements of similar
character to those forming the subject of several previous Letters Patent granted to
one or both of us or in any suitable manner.
We also form the tank of a rectangular shape as heretofore but we construct it of
two stamped metal sheets, one of which will form the top and sides and the other the
bottom with a turned up edge forming a small tray all around the tank the two
stampings being soldered together as will be well understood.
We also form the burner fitting of the tank with a groove or recess all around the
same to catch any oil that may be spilled upon the same and we form holes in said
groove or recess to convey the said oil to the tank.
This groove or recess is sunk in a plate which is so extended laterally and returned
before it is connected to the tank as to form a great length or distance of connection.
between the burner fitting and the tank thereby giving a greater distance of travel
for the heat between the burner and the tank whereby the latter is kept cool and' the
sweating or creeping of the oil over the tank is prevented or greatly reduced.
Where this length of connection is not required the said groove or recess may be
formed around or fixed to the upper part of the burner fitting.
In some cases the chimney may be made of sheet metal but we do not.claim the
same apart from the supports for the tank.
We also in some cases form one chimney and the feet and the feet or supports for
one side of the stove of one piece of sheet metal suitably shaped and we fix the same
to the side of the oven as above described for the cast iron parts, whilst when forming
the chimney of either sheet or cast metal we also extend the same so as to cover all or.
nearly all the side of the oven and thereby efficiently heat the same.

page_text: We, EDWARD ALEXANDER RIPPINGILLE and JAMES DAVEY RIPPINGILLE both of
the Aston Brook Lamp Works Aston-juxta-Birmingham in the County of Warwick
Lamp Manufacturers 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 :—
The Invention has for its object to simplify and cheapen the construction of lamp
stoves, and relates to those classes of stoves in which a seat or seats for cooking
utensils is or are provided above the burner or burners in combination or not with
an oven.
Our invention is represented in the accompanying drawings in the various Figures
of which like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
In Figures 1 to 13 we represent various views of different modifications of lamp
stoves constructed without an oven.. One modification is shown at Figures 1 to 6
inclusive. Figure 1 of which represents an end view. Figure 2 a plan or top view.
Figure 3 a cross section and Figure 4 a side view Figure 5 being an end view of the
two castings forming the frame or body of the stove and Figure 6 an inner side view
of one of such castings.
In this modification we form parts of the chimney a, the feet or supports & the
cone e, rests or supports d for a kettle or other utensil and ribs or ledges e, forming
resis or supports for the tank in one casting A and the other corresponding or
complementary parts in another casting A', which castings are each formed with fugs
or projections A at one end and one of them is formed with projections A³ at the
top so shaped that the two castings can be readily slidden or placed together in correct
relative position and then be securely held together by two bolts B.
These two castings A. A may be made of any suitable design and with any other
convenient inter-fitting parts and may be so arranged as to be securely held together,
by one or more bolts screws or rivets.
The bolts B for securing the two castings A. A¹ together are also represented as
holding in position the label frame A, and sight glass or tube A. The supports or .
rests e, for the tank are in this modification in the shape of ribs or flanges near the
bottoms of the feet or supports and project inwardly therefrom, the tank rests upon
said supports e, and we thereby avoid the necessity for using a bottom plate or
casting extending across from side to side of the lamp frame for carrying the tank.
The castings A. A' are each formed with a narrow guide A extending from end
to end thereof and with stop A7 at one end to serve as guides for the burner 9 when
sliding the same into position and to secure the correct adjustment thereof and the
burner is provided with an end plate g to seal that end at which the burner is slidden
into position, other well known arrangements of parts for enabling the burner to be
slidden into position and of sealing the same may however be adopted.

page_text: At Figures 7 and 8 which are respectively an end view and a partial side view we
lave represented a modification of a lamp stove without an oven in which the
chimney a, cone 6, rests or supports d, lugs or projections A². A³. guides A and
stop A are formed in two castings A, A, which are connected together by the
bolts B, whilst the feet or supports and rests or supports e, for the tank are cast
separately in two other castings A**A**. which are fixed to the castings A*, A¹* by
screws, bolts, or rivets A³.
At Figures 9 and 10 which are, respectively a cross section and a side view of parts
of a lamp stove without an oven, we have represented a modification in which the
chimney a, lugs or projections A cone" guides A stop A feet or supports and
rests or supports e for the tank are made in two castings A***, A¹***, held together
by the bolts B the seats or supports d being cast in a separate casting which is fixed
to the castings A***, A****, by screws bolts or rivets Aº.
At Figures 11, 12 and 13 which are respectively an end view, a longitudinal section
and a plan of a lamp stove without an oven, we have represented a modification in
which the chimney a is formed of sheet metal, the seats or supports d, in one casting,
and the feet or supports in two other castings, the said parts being connected
together, as heretofore.
The sheet metal chimney a in this modification is provided at its lower end with
longitudinal ribs, flanges or supports a¹ to receive the plate of the burner which
plate is capable of being slidden in or upon the said flanges or ribs a' and thus support
the tank which is suspended therefrom. In this modification we have also represented
the stove to be fitted with a hinged cone e, which when employing a single burner, as
in the present case, has its front end plate e provided with a knob or button c² at the
side thereof so that the cone c, can be held up whilst the lighted burner is being
slidden into position without risk of burning the hand, the end plate e being used as
is well understood to seal the space through which the burner is introduced into the
chimney.
We would here remark that we do not claim the combination of sheet metal
chimney a with case supports and d except when combined with the ribs flanges or
supports a' for the burner and tank so as to dispense with the bottom plate hitherto
employed to support the tank. This same result may however be obtained by
employing the above described construction of chimney a and supports and d
combined with the rests or supports e and the method of sealing the space through
which the burner is introduced into the chimney having a fixed cone as shown and
described with respect to Figures 1 to 6.
Figure 14 is a front view partly in section and Figure 15 is a plan also partly in
section showing the application of our improvements to a lamp stove in which an
oven his used.
In this case we also form part of the chimney or chimneys a rests or supports e for
the tank or tanks and feet or supports of one casting and the seats d for culinary
vessels of another casting as described with respect to one of the above modifications
but in this case we form one side and the two ends of the chimney or chimneys a
complete by casting and we fix the oven between two of such castings, the sides of
the oven thus forming the second side of each chimney a.
When using two chimneys and two tanks and burners in combination with an oven
as shown in the drawings the rests or supports e, may be used to carry a plate e¹ on
which the tanks fare supported but if desired the lower ends of the chimneys may be
provided with ribs or flanges a from which the tanks could be suspended as shown
and described with respect to Figures 11. 12 and 13 or if a tank were employed of a
length to extend from side to side of the oven the rests or supports e may be used
alone to support the tank in a similar manner to that described with respect to
Figures 1 to 10..
If desired only one chimney may be used in combination with the oven, such
cliimney a and feet or supports being made by casting as above described.
We also in some cases form one chimney a and the feet or supports for one side of

page_text: the stove of one piece of sheet metal suitably shaped and we fix the same to the side of
the oven as above described for the cast iron parts whilst when-forming the chimney
of either sheet or cast metal we also extend the same as shown at ² so as to cover all.
or nearly all the side of the oven and thereby efficiently heat the same. We also form
the top and bottom of the oven with heating arrangements of similar character to..
those forming the subject of several previous Letters Patent granted to one or both of.
us or in any suitable manner. dd are the supports for culinary utensils.
We also as shown at Figures 16 and 17, which are respectively a cross section and
a plan of a tank and burner, form the tank of rectangular shape as heretofore but
we construct it of two stamped metal sheets 1/2 one of which will form the top and
sides and the other the bottom with, a turned up edge or. flange 3 forming a small
tray all around the tank; to facilitate the stamping process the corners and angles of
the tank are all rounded or curved off, the two stampings are soldered together
as is well understood.
as a,
In this construction of tank we make use of the flange or turned up edge
support to rest upon the rests or supports e.as shown at Figures 1, 3, 4 and 6 in-
addition to using it as a tray to catch any overflow or drippings from the sides of the:
tank. We do not claim the construction of a tank of two sheet metal stampings
apart from the employment of the tray as a support for the tank to rest upon the
rests or supports e.
We also as shown in Figures 16 and 17, form the burner fitting with a groove
or recess all around the same to catch any oil that may be spilled upon the same
and we form holes in said groove or recess f' to convey the said oil to the interior
of the tank. This groove or recess is sunk in a plate forming the burner
fitting which is so extended laterally and then returned before it is connected to the
tank as to form a great length or distance of connection between the burner
fitting and the tank thereby giving a greater distance of travel for the heat between
the burner and the tank whereby the latter is kept cool, and the sweating or creeping
of the oil over the tank is prevented or greatly reduced.
In cases where this length of connection is not required, the said groove or recess
may be formed as shown at Figures 18 and 19 around or fixed to the upper part of
the burner fitting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we claim is :-
1. In a lamp stove formed without an oven, the construction of the chimney a
parts A, A, the feet or supports b, the cone c rests or supports d and tank rests or
