I, THOMAS PICKUP of 43, Springfield Road, Burnley in the County of Lancaster,
Grocer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING AND DIFFUSING HEAT to be as follows:-
This invention relates more particularly to improvements upon an invention for
which Letters Patent were granted to me, bearing date the 14th day of January 1885,
No. 518; and is designed to provide for the receiver or stove, another or an additional
source of heat to be distributed upon the surface plates and side walls, when the heated
gases or products of combustion from the kitchen range fail, or when such range or
fire place is not in use.
For this purpose, the receiver or stove is provided with a grate or fire space,
immediately below the surface plates, upon which fuel may be deposited and burnt.
When such is the case, a damper which was previously closed is withdrawn, so as to
allow the heated gases from the fuel burning on the grate, to circulate and heat the
surface plates and side walls of the receiver or stove, in a similar manner, as is effected
by the heated gases emanating from the collecting space described in the specification
of my former patent; or, in lieu of the fire grate, a series of gas jets may be arranged
beneath the surface plates for the like purpose.
The receiver or stove may be of any desired shape or ornamentation, surrounded by
an outer space or casing, in which air may be heated and diffused into the room, through
a series of perforations in the front, or at the sides, of the receiver or stove, which may
be used in combination with, or be separate and distinct from, the collecting space or
chamber, described in my former specification.

Improvements in Apparatus for Collecting and Diffusing Heat.
I, THOMAS PICKUP of 43, Springfield Road, Burnley, in the County of Lancaster
Grocer, 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 partly to improvements upon an invention, for which Letters
Patent was granted to me, bearing date the 14th day of January 1885, No. 518, and
is designed to provide for the receiver or stove, another or an additional source of heat,
to be distributed upon the surface plates and side walls, when the heated gases, or
products of combustion, from the kitchen range fail, or when such range or fire placo
is not in use.
For this purpose, the receiver or stove is provided with a grate or fire space
(immediately below the surface plates), upon which fuel may be deposited and burnt.
When such is the case, a damper which was previously closed is withdrawn, so as to
allow the heated gases from the fuel burning on the grate, to circulate, and heat the
surface plates and side walls of the receiver or stove, in a similar manner, as is effected
by the heated gases, emanating from the collecting space, described in the specification
of my former patent; or, in lieu of the fire grate, a series of gas jets may be arranged,
beneath the surface plates of the receiver or stove, for the like purpose.
The receiver or stove may be of any desired shape or ornamentation, and provided
at the back with an air space or casing, into which air may be conducted by suitable
apertures communicating with the external air, or with air with the same or adjacent
apartment to that in which the receiver or stove is placed. The air so introduced,
having become heated in its passage through the air space or casing, from impingement
with the back of the receiver, and from transmissions and radiations of heat it receives
therefrom, is discharged into the room, through openings in front of the receiver or
stove, immediately below the mantle piece, or, it may be carried up by flues, and
discharged through suitable apertures at a higher level, or otherwise, it may be directed
into adjoining rooms, for the purpose of warming and ventilating them.
This heating apparatus may, if desired, be self contained, and used as a stove, register
grate, or range separate and distinct from the collecting space or chamber, described
in my former specification.
And in order that my invention may be properly understood, and readily carried
into practical effect, I have hereunto attached the accompanying sheet of drawings,
marked with figures and letters of reference, the same letters referring to the same
or corresponding parts in the various Figures.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent respectively the end and side elevation of an apparatus
constructed, in accordance with my invention, for the collection and diffusion of heat;
Figs. 3 and 4 representing respectively end and side views of the same in section.
This apparatus is preferably constructed of iron, and provided with fire grate A,
upon which fuel may be deposited and burnt, the damper O being withdrawn, that the

page_text: products of combustion, arising from the burning fuel upon the grate A, may be led
through opening D, by the draught into the compartment E, and upwards, through
opening F, and along compartment G, to the opening H, whence they are conveyed
along compartment I to the exit pipe J, and to the chimney.
The heated gases traversing through the compartments as above described, will
impart heat to the side walls of the apparatus, and to the surface plates K and L, to
ensure a regular transmission and conduction of heat into the room.
The apparatus
is also provided at the back with an air space M, into which air is conducted through
the apertures N. The air so introduced, having become heated in its passage through
the air space or casing, from its impingement with the back of the apparatus, and
from transmissions and radiations of heat received therefrom, is discharged into the
room through the openings O, immediately below the mantle piece R.
The foregoing arrangement may be used as an ordinary stove, register grate, or
fire range self contained, or it may be used as a receiver in combination with the
collecting space of chamber, described in my former specification, for the utilization of
waste heat from another fire place, kitchen range, or the like. When so combined, the
waste heat from the collecting space or chamber may be conveyed to the receiver by
pipe S, to traverse the compartments E, G and I, the damper c. being closed for this
purpose. When the kitchen range or the like is not in use, the damper, C, may be
again opened, and burning fuel placed upon the grate A. to heat the receiver.
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 a heat receiving and distributing apparatus, having a combustion space, fire
grate, or arrangement of gas jets, and one or more compartments for the traverse of
heated gases or products of combustion, an air space M with apertures to, and exit
openings from the same, substantially as described for the purposes set forth.
2. The general arrangement and construction of parts of a heat receiving and
distributing apparatus, and the combination of such apparatus to pipe R, for the
utilization of surplus gases or waste heat, emanating from the fire space of an adjoining
room, substantially as described.
