PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We ALFRED HENRY GRIFFITHS, of Surrey Works, Smethwick, Managing
Director, and THOMAS BAKER-SMITH, of 55 Donglas Road, Handsworth,.
Manager of Lamp Department, both near the City of Birmingham, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
This invention relates to improvements in oil stoves and consists as follows:-
Upon the underside of the oil container, longitudinal stout narrow strips are
secured by rivetting or otherwise. These serve as strengthening pieces to the
bottom of the said container. Corresponding with these strips and formed upon
or attached to the lower part or base of the stove, grooved channels are provided
along which the aforesaid strips travel when the oil container is slid into position.
The entrances of the channel are widened somewhat to facilitate the entrance of
the strips. The sides or walls of the channel are not so high as the thickness of
the strips, and therefore do not come in wearing contact with the bottom of the
coutainer, during the sliding motion.
Thus by these means, the bottom of the said container is protected and
strengthened, while its correct position is ensured, and is passed into such position
by an easy and simple movement.
Dated this 9th day of February 1895.

Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We ALFRED HENRY GRIFFITHS, of Surrey Works, Smethwick, Managing
Director, and THOMAS BAKER SMITH, of 55 Douglas Road, Handsworth,
Manager of Lamp Department, both near the City of Birmingham, 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 improvements in oil stoves and consists as hereinafter
described.
In order to more clearly explain this our invention we have appended hereunto-
an illustrative sheet of drawings, upon which are figures and numbers of
reference, similar numbers reterring throughout the several views to the same thing
or part.
Fig. 1, shows a general front view of a stove to which this our invention is
applicable, in which is seen the grooves or channels to receive the oil container.
Fig. 2, shows the oil container in an inverted position in order to illustrate the
strengthening and guiding strips.
Fig. 3, is an enlarged detailed view of a portion of the channels, showing more.
particularly the entrance part of such channels.
Fig. 4, is a sectional view of the channels on line A-B.

page_text: Upon the underside of the oil container 6, longitudinal stout narrow strips 7, 7,
are secured by rivetting or otherwise. These serve as strengthening pieces to
the bottom 8, of the said container. Corresponding with these strips and formed
upon or attached to the lower part or base of the stove 9, grooved channels, 10, 10,
are provided along which the aforesaid strips 7, 7, travel when the oil container 6,
is slid into position. The entrance of the channels are widened somewhat
at 11, 11, to facilitate the entrance of the strips. The sides or walls 12, 12,
of the channels are not so high as the thickness of the strips 7, 7, and therefore
do not come in wearing contact with the bottom of the container during the sliding
motion.
Thus by these means, the bottom of the said container is protected and
strengthened, while its correct position is ensured, and is passed into such position
by an easy and simple movement.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is --
1. In oil stoves of the character herein described, having oil containers such
as 6, the combination with such containers of strips 7, 7, taking into prepared
grooves or channels 10, 10, upon the stove all substantially as set forth and
shown.
2. The combination in oil stoves of the character herein described, with oil
containers 6, having the strips 7, 7, of the grooves or channels 10, constructed
and arranged as set forth and illustrated.
Dated this 6th day of November 1895.
