or Metals.
I, ELI JAGGER of Werneth Metal Factory Green Street Werneth Oldham in the
County of Lancashire, Tin plate worker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:
This invention has for its object to provide means whereby such stoves are rendered
self-contained, compact & portable, much cleaner, safer, neater, more effective and
economical than heretofore has been the case.
My improved stove consists principally in the combination of the following parts:-
a base, an ash-pan and chamber, a movable grid, and a cover, or stove body.
The said base is furnished below with a suitable number of legs and is formed above
with a chamber preferably octangular in shape, which receives a corresponding
shaped ash pan or drawer, arranged to be slid in and out on rails formed on the said
base.
Above the said ash-pan or drawer a flat grid is arranged to be slid in or out in
suitable grooves formed on the ash-pan or drawer chamber. The top of the latter is
formed with a circular hole and rim, in diameter less than the octagon of the ash pan
or drawer chamber, which serves to receive the cover or stove body the top of which
is formed so as to facilitate an easy connection with a pipe or chimney.
The said cover or stove body on its side, is formed with an opening and sliding door
by means of which the fuel is introduced into the stove and above the ash-pan or drawer
chamber with a suitable number of holes and pockets.
The said pockets are formed on the said cover or stove body immediately in front of
the respective holes and serve simultaneously as a rest for the iron to be heated while
in the fire, and as ash-pan to receive any ashes or fuel that may be drawn out of the
fire with the iron, and to conduct the same to the ash-pan or drawer on the aforesaid
base, with which the aforesaid pockets communicate.

page_text: The lower end of the said cover or stove body is formed with slots or openings
which are covered by means of a hinged lid through which passes the handle of the
aforesaid flat sliding grid and which when lifted facilitates the stirring up of the fuel
and increase of draught and fire, and when dropped prevents any undue escape of
heat from the stove and causes the draught to be decreased.
By suitably shaping the cover or body of the stove, the same may be also used
for heating tailor's, hatter's, or such like irons or for melting metals such as tin lead
or zinc.

Improvements in Stoves for Heating Soldering or other Irons
or Metals.
I, ELI JAGGER of Werneth Metal Factory, Green Street Werneth, Oldham, in the
County of Lancashire, Tin plate Worker, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention has for its object to provide means whereby such stoves are rendered
self-contained, compact, and portable, much cleaner, safer, neater, more effective and
economical than heretofore has been the case.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to be i
appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference indicating
like parts in the various figures.
Fig. 1 is part front elevation and part section. Fig. 2 is a plan with the top portion
removed, of my improved stove.
Fig. 3 is a partial vertical section, and Figs. 4 & 5 are front elevations showing
modifications of my invention.
In carrying out my invention and referring more particularly to Figs. 1 & 2 my
improved stove consists principally in the combination of the following, parts
base a, an ash pan b and chamber b₁, a movable grid c, and a cover or stove body d.
The said base a is furnished below with a suitable number of legs a¹ and is formed
above with a chamber preferably octangular in shape, which receives a corre-
spondingly shaped ash pan or drawer b arranged to be slid in and out on rails a',
formed on the said base a.
The chamber 6¹ is cast separate from the base a and secured thereto by means of
bolts 6*.
Above the said ash pan or drawer b a flat grid c is arranged to be slid in and out
in suitable grooves c¹ formed on the ash pan or drawer chamber 6' itself or on a
ring d placed loosely onto lugs & cast on the chamber 6. The top of the latter is
formed with a circular hole and rim 6 see Fig. 2 in diameter less than the octagon of
the ash pan or drawer chamber 61, which serves to receive the cover or stove body d,
by being loosely placed onto the aforesaid ring d'.
The top of the cover or stove body d is formed with a nozzle so as to facilitate
an easy connection with a pipe or chimney and with a rim e on which is hooked and
arranged to slide, a door e¹ serving to cover or uncover an opening e², formed in
the side of the cover or stove body d, through which the fuel is introduced into
the stove.
Above the ash-pan or drawer chamber a suitable number of holes fand pockets f
are formed on the said cover or stove body d, the pockets' communicating with
the ash-pan or drawer b, see arrow, and with the holes formed in the stove body d
immediately in front thereof.

page_text: The front of each hole f is cast with a projection or support, which in conjunction
with the pockets f¹ serves simultaneously as a rest for the iron to be heated while in
the fire, and as ash-pan to receive any ashes or fuel that may be drawn out of the fire
with the iron, and to conduct the same to the ash pan or drawer b on the aforesaid
base a, with which the aforesaid pockets f¹ communicate.
The lower end of the said cover or stove body d in front is formed with slots or
openings which are covered by means of a hinged lid h through which passes the
shank or handle g of the aforesaid flat sliding grid b, and which when lifted facilitates
the stirring up of the fuel and increase of draught and fire, and when dropped
prevents any undue escape of heat from the stove, and causes the draught to be
decreased.
By suitably shaping the top of the cover or stove body d, as shown in Fig. 3 the
stove may serve to receive a pan i for melting metal, such as lead or zinc see dotted
lines or for tipping the metal to be soldered, see full lines.
Fig. 4 shows the use of the stove for heating tailor's, hatter's, or such like irons, and
Fig. 5 for general heating purposes.
For the purpose shown in Figs. 4 & 5 however, the hole f formed in the cover or
stove body d and the pockets f₁ above the ash pan or drawer chamber 61, may be
dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In stoves of the class hereinbefore described
1st. The general combination and arrangement of parts, substantially as and for the
purpose specified.
2nd. The use of pockets f¹, in conjunction with the holes f, serving as a rest for
the iron to be heated, and as a pan or conduit for the ashes, etc., substantially as set
forth.
