Improvements in or relating to Gas and Oil Stoves for Heating and
Cooking Purposes.
I, HENRY CORNELIUS WILLINGS 94 St. Pauls Road Burdett Road London E.
Decorator, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:―..
This invention relates to stoves for warming and cooking purposes &. consists in.
providing a water space in the body of the stove, intersected at a convenient part
by pipes or tubes for the circulation of & heating of air in same, and the same is
carried out in the following manner.
I provide a hollow casing or body. In this hollow space the water circulates.
The air tubes are preferably fixed in the top part of the stove & the air is thus
warmed & caused to circulate owing to the tubes being surrounded by the heated
water. A boiler is provided which communicates with the stove water space by an
aperture in the said boiler. This boiler is enclosed in the top space aforesaid, an
oil or gas lamp being employed to heat same. The bottom of the boiler or heater
is concave. A flue passes through the said heater & is provided with a grid &
shutter for cooking purposes when desired. This flue carries off the products of
combustion.

Improvements in or relating to Gas and Oil Stoves for Heating and
Cooking Purposes.
I, HENRY CORNELIUS WILLINGS 94 St. Pauls Road Burdett Road London E.
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 stoves for warming and cooking purposes and consists in
providing a water space in the body of the stove intersected at a convenient part
by pipes or tubes for the circulation of, and heating of, air in same, and the same is
carried out in the following manner.
I provide a hollow casing or body. In this hollow space the water circulates.
The air tubes are preferably fixed in the top part of the stove and the air is thus
warmed and caused to circulate owing to the tubes being surrounded by the heated
water. A boiler is provided which communicates with the stove water space by an
aperture in the said boiler. This boiler is enclosed in the top space aforesaid
oil or gas lamp being employed to heat same. The bottom of the boiler or heater
A flue passes through the said heater and is provided with a grid and

is concave.
In reference to the annexed drawings

an
a is the main body of the stove, b, b are the hollow sides connected to the main
body or top space a and resting upon the base c. These two sides are connected

page_text: together by the pipe d. The pipe e connects the boiler and side spaces of the
stove. g is the boiler proper which communicates with the main body a by means
of an aperture marked h. i is a flue passing through the boiler. An ornamental
grid is supported over the end of the flue i, for supporting a vessel when using the
stove for cooking purposes. A small sliding shutter j. is provided for shutting off
the fumes when not in use. k is a branch of the flue which is in connection with
the chimney or outer air. I is an ordinary lamp which heats the said stove. m are
tubes which pass through the upper water space for the purpose of heating the air
contained in same and thus heating the air in the room, owing to the circulation
set up in the tubes m. n is a metal cover or screen which may be placed over the
stove if desired, the sides being perforated.
The water which is heated in the boiler g circulates through the opening h into
the space a down the sides h, b, and back to the boiler through the pipe e. o, o are
two screw caps or filling apertures for charging the stove with water. It will be
seen that owing to this arrangement great efficiency of heating is obtained owing to
the large surface of the stove available for heating, and also the air circulating
pipes m. Any suitable material may be employed in the construction of the stove
such as zinc and copper, the parts exposed to the heat of the lamp being preferably
made of copper. Any convenient kind of oil lamp or gas lamp may be employed to
heat the said stove.
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) In stoves for heating and warming purposes, a double walled or water space
formed therewith, air tubes intersecting said water space, a heater or boiler having
a concave bottom, a flue passing through said boiler and having a shutter or damper,
a grid supported over said flue, a cover or screen for surrounding said stove top;
all in combination with an oil lamp or gas burner or jets substantially as described.
