PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoves.
EDWARD CHAPMAN Builder of 55 Alexandra Road Wimbledon do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved hot plate or hob to ranges. Shown on accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 part plan. Fig. 2 part elevation. This invention is to facilitate the
removal and replacing of the firebricks-lettered "c" and also to give access to the
boiler at the back of the fireplace. To do this under the present circumstances
the whole of the hob or hot plate, which is made solid to the edge of the fire, has
to be removed. But before this can be done, the back and sides (commonly called
covings) have also to be taken down. Thereby disturbing the flues, which require
the services of a bricklayer to reinstate. This invention consists of having the
hob or hot plate made with moveable pieces-lettered "a" & "b" on drawing-of
sufficient size and so as to be easily removed when required, connected together and
kept in position by rebated joints and screws as shown. The advantages of this
invention are as follows:—
1stly. That the present method, as stated above, of removing and replacing the
firebricks and also of giving access to the boiler is entirely superseded.
2ndly. That any ordinary person can gain access to both boiler & firebricks.
3rdly. That access to the firebricks and also the boiler can be more easily,
simply, and quickly accomplished.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Stoves.
I, EDWARD CHAPMAN, formerly of No. 55 Alexandra Road, but. now of
No. 12 Woodside, both in Wimbledon, in the County of Surrey, Builder, 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 :-
My invention relates to improvements in stoves and the object of it is to provide
for the removal and replacement of the fire lumps standing normally at the sides
of the grate between the fuel and the oven and side boiler, respectively, and also
to give convenient access to the back boiler.
It consists in making the margins of the hob or hobs or hot plate, as the case
may be, as far as the said margins overhang the positions of the fire lumps or the
back boiler, separable from the main portion of the hob or hobs or hot plate,
respectively, such margins being made of the proper width to meet the requirements
of the above mentioned removal, replacement or convenient access.
Referring to the drawing which was filed with the Provisional Specification
accompanying my application for Letters Patent No. 22756 1893, and which drawing
is to be taken as part of this Specification and read therewith,
Figure 1 is a part plan, and
Figure 2, a part elevation, of the range and adjacent portions of the hot plate
and funnt of a kitobonor

page_text: c, c are the two well known fire lumps in general use-one standing on each side
of the fire, between it and the adjoining oven and side boiler or second oven,
respectively, but the hot plate, as it has hitherto been the practice to make it,
overhangs the positions of the said lumps. The same is true more or less, of the
usual hobs. The consequence of such a construction of the hot plate and more or
less of the hobs, is that it has been necessary to take.down the skirting or covings
round the hot plate and to take off the hot plate and sometimes the hob before the
lumps could be released.
Now according to the present invention, I make the margins b, b of the hot plate,
as far as they overhang the positions of the lumps c, c, and for, preferably, rather
more, as illustrated in the figures, detachable froin the main portions of the plate!
This detachability may be provided for in any convenient way. I have illustrated
the use of the well known combination of rebates, lugs and screws.
The margin a of the hot plate overhanging the position of the back boiler, is
made detachable from the main portion of said plate, in the same way as described
above, so that its removal from its seat-the lugs and rebates in the adjoining main
portions and, if necessary, that of the margins b, balso, gives convenient access
to the back boiler. The sides of the margin a are shewn as coinciding with the
outer side edges of the margins b, b, but such coincidence is immaterial.
:
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 :-
The hereinbefore described combination with the respective hob or hot plate,
as the case may be, of detachable margin or margins as and for the purpose set
forth.
