PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION..
Improvements in Oil Cooking Stoves.
RICHARD POORE 33 Chaucer Road Herne Hill S.E. Stove Manufacturer do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Oil cooking stoves as at present constructed are objectionable through the
difficulty experienced in cleansing the flues or spaces between the oven & the outside
case. To obviate this, I construct my stove in such a manner that I can easily
remove either the oven or a sufficient portion of the outside case to leave the flue
open for cleansing purposes.
To affect this I either make my oven as a separate box to simply lift in or out of
the case or body of the stove or I construct the whole or a suitable part of the
stove ends, in the form of a door or shutter so as to expose the flues & outside of
the oven for cleaning when open.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cooking Stoves.
I, RICHARD POORE, of 33 Chaucer Road, Herne Hill, S.E., 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 :-
Oil cooking stoves as at present constructed are objectionable through the
difficulty experienced in cleansing the flues or spaces between the oven and the
outside case.
To obviate this I construct my stove in such a manner that I can
easily remove either the oven or a sufficient portion of the outside case to leave the
flue open for cleansing purposes.
To effect this I either make my oven as a separate box to simply lift in or out of
the case or body of the stove, or I construct the whole or a suitable part of the
stove ends in the form of a door or shutter so as to expose the flues and outside of
the oven for cleaning when open.
In the accompanying drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of an oil stove constructed according to my invention,
the oven being shown as partly lifted out of the case or body of the stove.
Fig. 2, is a horizontal section of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3, is a horizontal section of one end of the case or body of the stove, showing
how the end plate may be made in the form of a sliding shutter so that the flue may
be exposed for cleaning by raising such shutter.
Fig. 4, is also a horizontal section of one end of the case or body of the stove,
showing how the end plate may be hinged in order to expose the flue for cleaning.
In Figs. 1 and 2, A is a lamp fitted with a burner at each end of the stove, the
body or case B of which encloses such lamp. The body or case B is composed
of end plates b, b; back and front plates,, the latter being hinged at 6 so as
to give access to the interior of the stove, and a cross plate 6' separating the portion
covering the lamp A from the portion in which the oven of the stove is situated. The
oven C is fitted so that it can slide in grooves or ways c provided in the body or
case B, and when in its lowest position the oven is supported by the cross plate 6, so
as to leave a certain space or flue between the bottom of same and the cross plate b*.
The length of the oven C is such that a certain space d, d', is left between the end
[Price 8d.]

page_text: plates c,,thereof, and the end plates b, b', of the body or case of the stove, such
spaces d, d, constituting the side flues of the stove, and it will be seen that the
burners a, a, of the lamp A are arranged beneath such lues. When the oven C is
in position the top of the stove is closed by a plate in the snal manner, and over or
upon such plate any of the ordinary cooking or heating utensils or vessels suitable
for oil stoves may be placed. Access to the interior of the oven C (the front of
which is open) may be had through the door in the front plate of the body or
case B of the stove."
By removing the top plate of the body or case B of the stove and then lifting the
oven C entirely out of same by means of the handles c³, cs, fitted to the top thereof
the flues will be entirely exposed and may be readily cleaned by a duster or brush.
Instead of arranging the oven so that it can be removed from the top of the
body or case of the stove, same might be arranged to slide out from the back or
front thereof.
Instead of making the oven C movable same might be made stationary, and the
end plate of the body or case B be in the form of a sliding shutter (as shown at b,
Fig. 3), so that by lifting such shutter the flue d, will be exposed for cleaning; or
again such end plate of the body or case B may, as shown at 6' Fig. 4, be hinged,
whereby the same result will be attained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. An oil stove in which side flues are formed between the end walls of the body
or case of such stove and the end walls of a removable oven, so that by removing
the latter such flues will be exposed for cleaning, substantially as specified.
2. An oil stove in which side flues are formed between the end walls of an oven
and the end walls of the case or body of such stove, and in which, the end walls. of
the latter are either made removable or are hinged so as to expose such flues, for
cleaning when required, substantially as specified.
