PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Spirit Stoves.
I JOHN BROOKES, of 55 Tower Street, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper &
Piercer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to Improvements in or connected with Spirit Stoves,
whose spirit vessel or container is carried upon a tripod or other similar stand, such
stand being made of sheet metal or wire.
These stands are generally made of sheet metal, (but may be of wire) and
consist of three pieces of sheet metal hinged together, so that they may be closed
together in small compass when not in use, but may be opened into a tripod
or other numbers) form, and are so cut and shaped that when it is opened, a recess
is formed in which the vessel may rest. The vessel is usually of a shallow
cylindrical or dish shape. As at present made the correct extended or opened
position of the stand is not effected by means of the vessel, and it is the object of
this my invention to arrange that the vessel shall be so made as to ensure and
preserve the correct position of the said stand when in use.
To do this I make the upper edge of the metal of the said vessel into an inverted
overhanging gutter shape and prior to the turning over of such part, I make three
notches (or more according to the number of supports of the stand) which, take on
to or embrace the said parts of the stand when opened and thus keep the whole in
their correct position, thereby preventing what otherwise would be accidental
spilling or upsetting.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Spirit Stoves.
I JOHN BROOKES, of 55 Tower Street, in the City of Birmingham, Stamper &
Piercer 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 to Improvements in or connected with Spirit Stoves,
whose spirit vessel or container is carried upon a tripod or other similar stand, such
stand being made of sheet metal or wire.
These stands are generally made of sheet metal, (but may be of wire) and consist
of three pieces of sheet metal hinged together, so that they may be closed together
in small compass when not in use, but may be opened into a tripod (or other
numbers) forn, and are so cut and shaped that when it is opened, a recess is formed
in which the vessel may rest. The vessel is usually of a shallow cylindrical or dish
shape. As at present made the correct extended or opened position of the stand is
not effected by means of the vessel, and it is the object of this my invention to
arrange that the vessel shall be so made as to ensure and preserve the correct
position of the said stand when in use.
To do this I make the upper edge of the metal of the said vessel into an inverted
overhanging gutter shape and therein I make three notches (or more according to
the number of supports of the stand), which, take on to or embrace the said parts

preventing what otherwise would be accidental spilling or upsetting.
In order to further and more clearly explain my invention I have appended
hereunto an illustrative drawing, upon which are figures and numbers of reference,
similar numbers referring throughout the several views to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a plan view of the entire stove.
Fig. 2, is a part sectional view of the stove on line A-B Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a detached view in elevation of the spirit vessel.
4, is the tripod stand, whose parts are hinged together at 5, the cut away shape
of one of the said parts being clearly shown in Fig. 2, at 4, to receive the spirit
vessel 6. 7, 7 &c. are atmospheric tubes for combining air with the flame in the
usual manner. In the rim or edge 8, of the vessel, the notches or gaps 9, are cut,
in equidistant positions around the vessel, so that when the stand is opened and the
vessel placed in position, such notches or gaps take on to the said stand at 10,
(see Fig. 2) and thereby perfectly keep the whole in their correct positions, and
thus also prevent accidental spilling or upsetting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
rinvention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In spirit stoves the employment of the notches or gaps 9, in the vessel 6, for
taking on to the stand, in the manner shown and described.
