Improvements relating to Oil Stoves.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, trading as the Frank Rippingille
Stove Company, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the manner in which I construct and arrange an oil
cooking or other stove whereby it may be safely and conveniently employed for
service on ship-board and upon vehicles.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount or suspend an oil stove of any
ordinary and suitable type from a gimbled frame or from a support capable of
movement independently of the stove. This frame or support is secured to brackets
or other fixtures to the deck or other part of the vessel or vehicle.
The gimbled
frame or support being thus fixed to the vessel or vehicle will be subjected to its
every oscillation or movement, but the suspended stove will retain its vertical
position, thus preventing the danger arising from tilting or inclination of the oil
tank, or the disturbance of the cooking utensils and other movable articles upon
the stove.
Along the top edges of the stove I fix a guard rail for the purpose of preventing
the sliding of the movable articles on the top plate or surface, in the event of
a sudden lurch or roll of the vessel. To effectually secure the oil tank or tanks
and to prevent the same from sliding out I employ spring or like guard pieces for
preventing any accidental movement.
I do not limit the application of my invention to the construction and arrange-
ment of any particular type or pattern of stove for service on ship-board or upon
other vehicles, but adapt and apply it in connection with stoves arranged for
varying requirements.

I, FRANK SIDE BOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, trading as the Frank Rippingille
Stove Company, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manu-
facturer, 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 the manner in which I construct and arrange an oil
cooking or other stove whereby it may be safely and conveniently employed for
service on ship-board and upon vehicles.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to,
Figure 1 is a front elevation and Figure 2 a plan of an oil cooking stove
arranged in accordance with my invention.

page_text: Figure 3 is a front elevation and Figure 4 a plan of the gimbled frame.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I mount or suspend an oil stove of any
ordinary and suitable type such as A from a gimbled frame B or from a support
capable of movement independently of the stove. This frame or support is secured
to brackets C or other fixtures to the deck or other part of the vessel or vehicle.
The gimbled frame or support being thus fixed to the vessel or vehicle will be
subjected to its every oscillation or movement, but the suspended stove will retain
its vertical position, thus preventing the danger arising from tilting or inclination
of the oil tank, or the disturbance of the cooking utensils and other movable
articles upon the stove.
Along the top edges of the stove I fix a guard rail D for the purpose of
preventing the sliding of the movable articles on the top plate or surface in the
event of a sudden lurch or roll of the vessel. To effectually secure the oil tank or
tanks E and to prevent the same from sliding out I employ spring or like guard
plates or a retaining bar such as F preventing any accidental movement.
The form and construction of gimble frame which I preferably employ is clearly
illustrated at Figures 3 and 4. The outer or main portion G of the frame is
pivotted at H upon the inner portion J which is secured to the stove by the screw
nuts K and strap or plate L.
I do not limit the application of my invention to the construction and arrange-
ment of any particular type or pattern of stove for service on shipboard or upon
other vehicles, but adapt and apply it in connection with stoves arranged for
varying requirements.
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. The method of supporting an oil stove upon a gimbled frame substantially as
and for the purposes hereinbefore described.
2. The construction of a gimbled frame for an oil stove substantially as herein-
before described, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
3. The improved general arrangement of an oil stove with gimbled frame and
supports substantially as and for the purposes herein described.
