Complete Accepted, 16th Dec., 1887
I, LEWIS WALKER LEEDS of 38 Old Jewry in the City of London, Heating and
Ventilating Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
gas
In previous applications No. 5841 of 1886 and 11930 of 1886 I have described
constructions of and oil stoves in which the flamo burns freely in the open or with
a full supply of air and the heat or flame impinges on a superposed arch or layer of
asbestos or other refractory material before passing into a closed receptacle above. I
have also proposed to form such stoves with mica or glass sides in order that the
reflection and light from the flame may illuminate to a greater or lesser extent the
room or apartment in which the stove is placed, the light also imparting a bright or
cheerful appearance to the stove. My present invention relates to an improved
construction of a refractory arch or layer particularly applicable to the before referred
to construction of stoves but also capable of being used with advantage in other
styles of stoves.
The object of my invention is to produce a refractory arch or layer which will
deflect the heat in the desired direction without seriously impairing the reflection or
transmission of light through the arch or layer and to this end my invention consists
of an improved form of deflector of heat and reflector or transmitter of light formed
of asbestos, slag, wool, or other refractory material in combination with an inter-
mixture or a backing of glass formed in bell, arch, or other suitable shape depending
upon the purpose to which it is to be applied.

page_text: I, LEWIS WALKER LEEDS of 38 Old Jewry in the City of London, Heating and
Ventilating Engineer, 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 :-
In previous applications No. 5841 of 1886 and 11930 of 1886 I have described
constructions of gas and oil stoves in which the flame burns freely in the open or
with a full supply of air and the heat or flame impinges on a superposed arch or
layor of asbestos or other refractory material before passing into a closed receptacle
above. I have also proposed to form such stoves with mica or glass sides in order
that the reflection and light from the flame may illuminate to a greater or lesser
extent the room or apartment in which the stove is placed, the light also imparting a
bright or cheerful appearance to the stove."
My present invention relates to an improved construction of a refractory arch or
layer particularly applicable to the before referred to construction of stoves but also
capable of being used with advantage in other styles of stoves.
The object of my invention is to produce a refractory arch or layer which will
deflect the heat in the desired direction without seriously impairing the reflection or
transmission of light through the arch or layor and to this end my invention consists
of an improved form of deflector of heat and reflector or transmitter of light formed
of asbestos, slag, wool, or other refractory material in combination with an
intermixture or a backing of glass formed in bell, arch, or other suitable shape
depending upon the purpose to which it is to be applied.
In order that the method of carrying out my invention may be clearly understood,
reference is made to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification and
in which :-
Fig. 1 represents a sectional elevation of one form of stove.
Fig. 2 represents a plan view thereof on line xx.
Fig. 3 represents a sectional elevation of the same stove with a modified
arrangement of the superposed deflector and reflector.
Fig. 4 represents a plan of the same.
Fig. 5 represents an elevation partly in section of a rectangular stove, and
Fig. 6 represents a plan of same.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the deflector and reflector are represented as consisting of
asbestos, slag, wool, or other fibrous refractory material A which is secured to
perforated pipe a through which part of the products of combustion pass into the
upper part of the stove. Secured to pipe a is the frame b which carries colored or
other glass which also serves to deflect the heat and yet permits the light from the
burners C to pass through as well as through the glass sides B of the stove. Frame b

page_text: may be of the form shown or of other suitable shape or a bell glass may be used.
The light and heat deflected will be further radiated and reflected if the inclined
faces are composed of mirrors or bright metal.
In Figs. 3 and 4 the deflector and reflector are represented in an arch form the
frame 6 having a bottom of wire gauze through the interstices of which the asbestos
or refractory material A projects while the glass backing d is formed of strips of
glass which may be held in place by frame 6 or by wires as shown and may be held
slightly apart by means of the asbestos passing between them. In Figs. 5 and 6 a
similar arch is shown applied to a rectangular stove and further description thereof is
unnecessary as is also any description of the means of supporting the various parts
as these may be varied as circumstances render advisable.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1st. In gas and oil stoves deflecting the heat and transmitting the light substantially
as set forth.
2nd. In gas and oil stoves a deflector of heat and a transmitter of light composed
of asbestos, slag wool, or other refractory material in combination with an
intermixture or backing of glass substantially as hereinbefore described.
Dated this 12th day of October 1887.
