I, EDWIN BOWEN of Birchfield Road Perry Barr near Birmingham, in the Count
of Warwick, Tin plate worker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The said invention consists of the improvements herein-after described, in the
construction of lamp stoves; and which said improvements consist, 1st, in the
formation of the chimney of the body part. 2ndly, the jointing of the stove to
the oil tank or container. 3rdly, a spring bar connection for fastening. 4thly, the
arrangement of handles, for the transporting of the stove. 5thly, in a duplex and
all-through sight hole.
The stove which is principally used for heating and warming purposes, consists of a
pyramidal shaped body or chimney part, tapering upwards from a platform or table
like stand, which forms an elevated base, upon which the upper part rests. This base
is supported upon legs, which rest upon the oil tank of the lamp.
The offside of the base is jointed to the top of the offside of the tank, and with the
wire, which constitutes hinge joint, directed horizontally and inwardly, and then
upwardly, from the bottom of the legs.
By thus jointing the stove, the legs are elevated from the top of the tank, on
the body part being turned over; the raising being effected by the peculiar cranking
of the joint.
The front of the base, is provided with a spring bar, extending from the leg of one
end, to the leg of the other end, and with the middle of the bar, bent or cranked
outwardly, and slightly upwardly, and over which said crank part, the roll or outer
cylinder part of a jointed fastener, springs, on the lamp being fastened to the tank,
which forms an extended base to the lamp.
In securing the one part to the other part, press down the fastener, when the spring
bar yields and springs at the inside back of the roll.
Disposed upon the two opposite sides of the lamp, are two wire handles, directed
upwardly, and with their lower ends secured to the sides of the lamp base.

page_text: The chimney or body part, is surmounted by a castellated shaped rest, upon
which, a utensil to be heated, is placed, over which, an object to be cooked is
suspended.
The two opposite sides of the pyramidal shaped body or chimney part, are pierced
with sight hole openings, covered with fluted or other glass, and through which
openings, the flame of the lamp is seen.
The burner of the tank part takes off, and with the underside of its carrying
plate, resting upon the top side of an extended base plate, surrounding the long slit,
through which the wick passes.
The affixing in position of the burner part, is effected by one end of the carrying
plate, engaging under an overhanging flange, whilst the other end of the plate is
turned upwardly, and over which, a roll catch snaps.
The burner part has the usual wick casing, and air diffusing gauze ; and further,
the cone of the burner, with a pierced flame slit in its middle, is carried by the
base of the lamp, at its junction with the base of the pyramidal shaped body or
chimney part.

page_text: I, EDWIN BOWEN of Birchfield Road, Perry Barr, near Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, Tin plate Worker, 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 said invention consists of the improvements herein-after described, in the
construction of lamp stoves; and which said improvements, consist 1st, in the
formation of the chimney of the body part. 2ndly, the jointing of the stove to the oil
tank or container. 3rdly, a spring bar connection for fastening. 4thly, the
arrangement of handles, for the transporting of the stove. 5thly, in a duplex and
all-through sight hole.
The stove, which is principally used for heating and warming purposes, consists
of a pyramidal shaped body or chimney part, tapering upwards from a platform or
table like stand, which forms an elevated base, upon which the upper part rests.
base is supported upon legs, which rest upon the oil tank of the lamp.
This
The offside of the base is jointed to the top of the offside of the tank, and with the
wire, which constitutes the hinge joint, directed horizontally and inwardly, and then
upwardly, from the bottom of the legs."
By thus jointing the stove, the legs are elevated from the top of the tank, on the
body part being turned over; the raising being effected by the peculiar cranking of
the joint.
The front of the base is provided with a spring bar, extending from the leg of one
end, to the leg of the other end, and with the middle of the bar, bent or cranked
outwardly, and slightly upwardly, and over which said crank part, the roll or outer
cylinder part of a jointed fastener, springs, on the lamp being fastened to the tank,
which forms an extended base to the lamp.
In securing the one part to the other part, press down the fastener, when the spring
bar yields and springs at the inside back of the roll.
Disposed upon the two opposite sides of the lamp, are two wire handles, directed
upwardly, and with their lower ends secured to the sides of the lamp base.
The chimney or body part, is surmounted by a castellated shaped rest, upon
which a utensil to be heated is placed, or over which, an object to be cooked, is
suspended.
The two opposite sides of the pyramidal shaped body or chinney part, are pierced
with sight-hole openings, covered with fluted or other glass, and through which
openings, the flame of the lamp is seen.
The burner of the tank part, takes off, and with the underside of its carrying plate,
resting upon the top side of an extended base plate, surrounding the long slit, through
which the wick passes.
The affixing in position of the burner part, is effected by one end of the carrying
plate engaging under an overhanging flange, whilst the other end of the plate is turned
upwardly, and over which, a roll catch snaps.
The burner part has the usual wick casing, and air diffusing gauze; and further,

page_text: the cone of the burner, with a pierced flame-slit in its middle, is carried by the base
of the lamp, at its junction with the base of the pyramidal shaped body or chimney
part.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings, the
manner in which, the same is to be performed.
Figure 1 represents in front elevation, a lamp stove, constructed according to this
invention. Figure 2 represents an end elevation of the same, with the chimney part
I :
in vertical section.
Figure 3 represents a complete longitudinal vertical section of the said lamp stove,
and figure 4 is a top side plan of the tank and base part, with the connections and
supports in section, on the dotted lines A B figure 1.
a is the chimney of the lamp, pyramidal in shape, and tapering upwards, from the
base a², which resis upon a platform a³, and forms an elevated base, and open sided
lamp chamber, wherein the burner, and accessory part of the lamp b, which comes
upon the top side of the tank or oil container is enclosed. The front legs at of the
elevated platform a³, rests upon the top of the tank, and are connected at their
extreme lower ends by a middle cranked longitudinal spring fastening har d, whose
outwardly cranked part is marked d², and springs at the back of the rolled fastener
catch which is jointedly connected to the tank c, as best seen in the plan
figure 4.
The rear legs of the platform a³ which support the chimney, have a longitudinally
directed cranked joint, bar, disposed between them, and with the crank part
working within a joint sleeve, soldered or connected to the top of the tank.
e
The cranked joint bar, is made rigid to the extreme lower parts of the legs; so
that on the stove being turned upon the said joint, the bottoms of the legs, become
elevated from the tank.
Disposed at the two opposite sides of the lamp, and at the junction of the pyramidal
shaped chimney with the platform part, are two handles g, made preferably of wire,
and by which means, the lamp is taken hold of.
The chimney of the lamp, is surmounted by a rest a³, upon which, utensils to be
heated, or food to be cooked, are placed.
,, are all-through sight holes. his in the front of the chimney, and is in the
back of the, chimney, and through which said openings, glazed with tale, or other
suitable transparent material, the flame of the lamp is seen.
The burner part of the lamp, has a wick casing b', whose upper end comes
immediately under the cone 12; and surrounding the said wick casing, is an air
deflector the carrying legs of which, rest upon a carrying plate 4, wherethrough
its lower underside, the lower end of the wick casing, passes, and is surrounded by a
hanging extension of the plate, with an inclined boundary shoulder 7, which fits
into a like socket c², of the tank neck c³.
The top of the tank neck, has a flange, with a turned over lip c, under which,
the rear end edge of the carrying plate takes, when the burner is placed in
position..
At the junction of the said neck c³, with the tank, is an inwardly directed
flange,c, and through the space; the wick of the lamp, downwardly passes.
In affixing in position the burner part, to the tank part, the rear end of the
carrying plate is slipped under the lip c, and the roll catch or fastener ³, springs
over an upwardly directed front edge of the carrying plate.
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:
First: The combination with a lamp stove, of the kind as herein described, of a
pyramidal shaped chimney a.
Secondly-Mounting the chimney of a lamp stove, upon an elevated platform, or
burner chamber, whose rear legs, or one side of the, said chamber, is jointed to the

page_text: Thirdly

Mounting the carrying handles y, at the base of the chimney, or at the
top of the wick chamber, as set forth.
Fourthly
Fastening the unhinged side of the stove, by a spring fastening
bar d, disposed between the front legs, and secured by a catch or fastener e, as set
forth.
Fifthly-Hinging one side of the lower part of the burner chamber, to the
tank or base, by an inwardly directed, and particularly formed crank joint, marked f.f",
as set forth.
Sixthly In combination with a lamp chimney, or the lower part of the base of a
lamp, of all-through glazed openings h, ', as set forth.
Seventhly The means of connecting, supporting, fitting and fastening of the
burner, and its cognate parts to the tank, or neck of the tank, and also in the
construction of the said neck, as set forth.
Lastly-The improvements in the construction, and arrangement, of parts of lamp
stoves, as herein described, and set forth in the several figures.
