Improvements in and relating to Oil Stoves.
Year: 1898

page_text: I, WILLIAM BRANDON, trading as William Brandon & Co., of 68, Oliver Street,
Bloomsbury, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Oil Stove Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to a means for preventing the splashing of grease or fat
on to the mica or glass covering the sight hole and thus damaging same which
frequently happens by the arrangements at present in use for this kind of oil stove
and my improvements consist in bringing the chimney forward to the front of
the stove the sight hole in said chimney is surrounded by a projecting rim forming
a guard so that when the front of the stove is shut up a corresponding hole in same
fits over or around the projecting guard and thus prevents any splashes getting
on to and damaging the mica or glass. Or the sight hole may be made to come up
level with the door or front of the stove instead of projecting through the
corresponding hole therein.
By these arrangements a free and clear sight of the flame is obtained and also
enables the users of oil stoves to regulate the height of the flame to a nicety and
thereby preventing trouble and annoyance and also the possibility of the flame
being turned up too high and thereby causing the stove to be condemned through
smoke as is liable to be the case with the existing stoves.

Improvements in and relating to Oil Stoves.
I, WILLIAM BRANDON, trading as Brandon & Co., of 68, Oliver Street,
Bloomsbury, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Oil Stove Manufacturer, 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 therein: —
Figure 1. Represents a front elevation of an oil stove constructed according to
my improvements, shewing the front open.
Figure 2. Represents a part elevation of the same with the stove closed.
Figure 3. Is a sectional view on line A B.

page_text: My invention relates to a means for preventing the splashing of grease or fat on
to the mica or glass that covers the sight hole in the chimney or chimneys of the
stove and thus damaging same, which very frequently happens by the arrangements
as present in use for this kind of oil stove, and my present improvements consist in
bringing the chimney or chimneys "A" forward to the front of the stove "B" the
sight hole "C" in the chimney is surrounded by a projecting rim forming a
guard "D" so that when the front or door "B" of the stove is shut up a corre-
spondingly shaped aperture "C1" fits over or around the projecting guard "D"
and thus prevents any splashes from getting on to and damaging the mica or glass.
This result it will be clearly seen is brought about by the forward situation of the
chimneys in conjunction with the projections guarding the sight holes.
The said sight holes "C" may be made to come up level or flush with the door or
front "B" of the stove or may be made to project a certain distance through the
apertures "C" in the door or front as may be preferred.
Instead of the sight holes in the chimneys having the mica or glass covering same
the corresponding apertures in the front or door may have the mica or glass therein
with the projecting guards round same on the inside of the front or door in which
case they would shut up against the chimneys into corresponding apertures
therein.
It will be manifest that by my improved construction and arrangement of oil
stove great advantages exist as a free and clear sight of the flame is obtained which
thus enables the users of oil stoves to regulate the height of the flame to a nicety,
thereby preventing trouble and also the possibility of the flame being turned up
too high and thereby causing a stove to be condemned through smoke and other
causes as is liable to be the case with other kind of stoves.
In order to make this description quite clear (taken with the drawings) it may
be added that the lamp or lamps for heating the stove stand in the base of the stove
in the chamber "E" in the usual manner.
I do not confine myself to the more precise details of arrangement herein set
forth as variations may be made without departing from the essential features of
my invention but
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:-
Firstly. In the construction of oil stoves the improved arrangement consisting
in locating the chimneys "A" at the front of the stove "B" so that the face of
said chimneys may be flush or nearly flush with same substantially as described
and shewn.
66
Secondly. In the construction of oil stoves the improved arrangement of sight
hole or holes "C" in said chimneys "A" consisting of the projections or
guards "D" surrounding said sight holes for the purpose of protecting the mica or
glass covering same from damage by the splashing of grease or fat thereon sub-
stantially as described and shewn.
Thirdly. In the construction of oil stoves the improved arrangement of sight
hole or holes in the door or front having projections or guards round said sight
holes to protect the mica or glass covering same from damage as described.
Fourthly. The general improvements in combination consisting in the forwardly
situated chimneys and the guarded sight-holes in same or in the front or door as
and for the purposes and by the means herein set forth.
