On the base a, of the casing there rests a body piece b, which has or may have an
opening in front of it to show the gas or oil flame and on the upper end of the said
body piece, there is supported another piece c, which encloses the top of the stove.
The base a, and body part b, have each a vertically projecting flange e, on their upper
ends which enters a recess on the lower end of the superposed section. Between the
casing and the stove d, an air circulating space is left throughout as seen at figure 3,
and in the cover c, and base a, holes or openings f, are made to permit of the free
outward passage of the heated air.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
A covering or casing for gas and oil stoves constructed and arranged substantially
as described with reference to the drawings annexed.
