1, GEORGE GOLDSMITH of 19 Oxford Street, Leicester, in the County of Leicester
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
may
The object of this invention is the construction of stoves whereby sad-irons bé
heated by gas with facility and economy.
The invention consists in attaching an atmospheric gas burner to a hollow pillar
through which the air and gas are supplied. Upon the burner is fitted an iron plate
placed at a suitable angle and on the front of this plate pockets are formed to receive
the irons. On the underside of the plate are fixed an indefinite number of studs
which are heated by the circulation of the flame amongst them until they become red
hot. The heat is transmitted through the plate to the irons placed in the pockets. To
prevent radiation and to utilize the heat to the fullest extent possible the studs are
protected from the cooling action of the atmosphere by a suitable arrangement of a
case packed with any well known non-conducting material, and the pockets covered
by half doors which are opened by taking out the irons.

page_text: I, GEORGE GOLDSMITH of 19 Oxford Street, Leicester, in the County of Leicester,
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 object of this invention is the construction of stoves whereby sad-irons may be
heated by gas with facility and economy.
In order that the invention may be easily understood drawings are attached hereto
of which the following is a description. Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the stove.
Fig. 2 a transverse sectional elevation, and Fig. 3 a back elevation, with the non-heat
conducting casing removed in order to show the great number of studs.
In this invention A is the base plate to which is fixed the hollow pillar B. An
atmospheric gas burner C is attached to this hollow pillar through which the mixture
of gas and air are supplied, the gas coming from the inlet supply pipe D, the other
extremity of which terminates at E within the pillar, while the air is supplied through
the bottom open end of the pillar at F. Upon the burner is fitted an iron plate G
placed at a suitable angle and on the front of this plate pockets H are formed to
receive the irons. On the underside of the plate are fixed an indefinite number of
studs J which are heated by the circulation of the flame that rises from each opening K,
in the burner C, and soon causes them to become red hot. To prevent radiation and
to utilize the heat to the fullest extent possible, the studs are protected from the cooling
action of the atmosphere by being partially surrounded by a suitable arrangement
of a case L packed with any well known non-heat conducting material. With the
same view the pockets may be, though not shown in the drawings, covered with half-
doors which are opened by the act of taking out the irons.
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:-
-
The construction of ironing stoves where a plate G having an indefinite number of
studs J is used in combination with a casing L, and atmospheric gas burner C, the
whole being arranged as herein described and shown on the drawings.
