- PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in and relating to Oil Stoves.
I. THOMAS HENRY WHALE, of 22, Thynne Street, West Bromwich, in the
County of Stafford, Foundry Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
This invention refers to certain improvements in connection with oil stoves
which are made with a metal tank and are surmounted with a flue or chimney
at the top of which is a metal plate or seat upon which a vessel may be placed
for boiling or other purposes and my improvements consist in the method of
fixing or attaching a stand or trivet in front of the stove upon which a kettle,,
saucepan, or other vessel may be placed and the contents kept warm while the
boiling process is going on, on the top of the stove.
For the purpose of such attachment the trivet is provided with two straight
lugs projecting from the front of the trivet and from which lugs two pegs pro-
ject transversely one per on each lug, one to the right and one to the left. The
one per enters a hole provided for same in a lug cast (or otherwise formed) on
the cradle of the stove. the other peg rests on a hook also cast on the cradle,
and the trivet takes its bearing underneath the said cradle by means of the two
straight lugs that project from the front of the trivet. The pegs may be on
the ends of the trivet if required instead of on the projecting lurs. Or if
necessary the two pegs may rest-on two-corresponding-looks-on-the cradle
instead of the one on a hook and the one in a hole.
By this method of attachment the trivet is readily affixed and removed and
admits of being folded up or down which is a great convenience in transit or
storage as it is out of the way and takes up but little space.

Improvements in and relating to Oil Stoves.
I, THOMAS HENRY WHALE, of 22, Thynne Street, West Bromwich, in the
County of Stafford. Foundry Manager, 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, reference being
had to the drawings accompanying this specification and to the figures and
letters shewn thereon in which similar letters of reference relate to similar
parts.
In the drawings, Figure 1, represents an end view of an oil stove and my
improved form of trivet attachment. Figure 2 is a plan on the line A, B,

page_text: Figure 1, with the upper part removed. Figures 3, 4, & 5, represent various
parts in detail.
My present invention refers to certain improvements in connection with oil
stoves which are constructed with a metal tank A, and are surmounted with a
flue or chimney B, at the top of which is a metal plate or seat C upon which a
vessel can be placed for boiling or other purposes, and my improvements con-
sist in the method of fixing or attaching adjustably a stand or trivet 1 in front
of the stove, upon which a kettle, saucepan, or other vessel can be placed and
the contents kept warm while the boiling process is going on, on the top of the
stove.
For the purpose of such attachment the trivet D is provided with two straight
Jugs E, E, projecting from the front of the trivet, at right angles to the
lugs E E are pegs E2 E3 one to the right and one to the left. The one peg E
enters an eye hole provided for same in a lug F cast or otherwise formed on the
cradle G of the stove the other peg 3 rests in a hook F1 cast on the cradle.
The trivet takes a bearing also beneath the said cradle portion by means of the
ends of the two straight lugs E, E¹ that project from the front of the trivet as
clearly shown. If preferred the supporting pegs such as E E³ may be cast on
or otherwise attached to the ends of the trivet instead of on the projecting
lugs E E. Or sometimes I arrange that the two pegs are supported by two
corresponding hooks such as F1 instead of the arrangement of one hook and
one eye as shewn. By the method of attachment herein described the trivet
is readily affixed and removed and admits of being turned up or down on its
pivots which is a great convenience for purposes of storage and transit as the
trivet is out of the way and takes up a minimum of space.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
1. In an oil stove the method of attaching the trivet to the stove consisting
of the lugs E El and pegs E2 E3 engaging lugs F F the one being provided
with an eye and the other with a hook to receive said pegs the ends of the
lugs E El containing a bearing beneath the part G all substantially as described
and illustrated.
2. In an oil stove attaching the trivet by means of straight lugs and pegs
such as E, E¹, E2 E3 engaging two hooked lugs such as F¹ as described.
