PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Gas Stove.
I, ALEXANDER SHIELS of 125 North John Street, Glasgow, Student of Science and
Medicine, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to so construct gas stoves, that the fumes, arising
from the combustion of the gas, shall not have access to the compartment in which
the food or other article is being cooked or heated.
A
The gas stove, as constructed under this invention, consists of an outer enclosing
casing or shell in which is supported on suitable brackets or otherwise fitted in
position an inner shell or casing which constitutes the oven or cooking or heating
compartiment of the stove. This inner chamber or compartment which may be made
slightly dome shaped at its upper end, is also, by preference, dished or concaved
at its lower end, so that the greatest possible heating surface may be obtained.
ring of gas jets or other suitable gas burning appliance is so fitted in the outer
casing or shell, or attached to the cooking compartiment, that the flames play on and
heat the bottom of the cooking compartment, the products of combustion passing up the
annular space, between the outer enclosing casing or shell and the inner shell or
casing constituting the cooking or heating compartment, to the exit chimney or flue
which is, by preference, placed near to the front centre of the top of the stove so that
the heated products of combustion shall, before escaping, circulate round the inner
shell or casing.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Gas Stove.
I, ALEXANDER SHIELS of 125 North John Street, Glasgow, Student of Science and
Medicine, 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 has for its object to so construct gas stoves, that the fumes, arising
from the combustion of the gas, shall not have access to the compartment, in which
the food or other article is being cooked or heated.
And in order that my said invention may be properly understood, I have hereunto
appended an explanatory sheet of drawings whereon fig. 1 is a front elevation, fig. 2 a
cross section, fig. 3 a section on the line a-a fig. 2 of my improved stove.
The gas stove, as constructed under this invention, consists of an outer enclosing
casing or shell A in which is supported on suitable brackets B or otherwise fitted in
position an inner shell or casing which constitutes the oven or cooking or heating
compartment of the stove. This inner chamber or compartiment which may be made
slightly dome shaped at its upper end as shown, is also, by preference, dished or
concaved at its lower end as shown at fig. 2 so that the greatest possible heating
surface may be obtained. A ring of gas jets D or other suitable gas burning
appliance is so fitted in the outer casing or shell A or attached to the cooking com-
partment, that the flames play on and heat the bottom of the cooking compartment,
the products of combustion passing up the annular space E between the outer
enclosing casing or shell C and the inner shell or casing constituting the cooking or
heating compartment, to the exit chimney or flue F which is, by preference, placed

page_text: near to the front centre of the top of the stove as shown at fig. 3 so that the heated
products of combustion shall, before escaping, circulate round the inner shell or
casing C. A hot air space G is by preference left at the upper end of the stove.
As will be seen at fig. 3 the inner shell or casing, (, is fitted at its front end to
the outer shell A, and at this part the door H, is situated.
With my improved construction of stove the inner or cooking casing (whilst
being easily heated is always free from the gas fumes which constitute a great draw
back to the present constructions of gas working apparatus.
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 :-
A gas stove constructed with an inner shell or casing substantially in the manner
and for the purposes set forth.
