Man do hereby delare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct gas stoves for heating greenhouses and
other places in such manner that the fumes therefrom cannot enter into such green-
house or other place.
The gas stove is of such a construction also that it can be applied and used by
persons of little experience.
The stove is made of cast iron and in one piece. One portion of it is made in a
rectangular box like form, the upper portion of which opens into a metal tube through
which the heat passes to any distance required within the greenhouse or other place.
At the terminating point thereof the fumes or products of combustion are passed into
a flue and from thence into the outer air.
Within the aforesaid box I apply any required number of atmospheric burners, and
above these in order to give direction to the heated air, I make that part of the box
forming the stove of such an angle as to throw the whole of such heat in the direction
of the hereinbefore mentioned pipe.
By this arrangement the least possible amount of heat is lost within the box.
The front of the stove is made in one piece with the box, and openings only being
allowed therein for the admission of air and the tube for the supply of gas.
The amount of air admitted may be reduced or increased by a suitable regulating
valve.
The front of the stove is enclosed in an outer chamber, covered by an ordinary door
which can be closed and locked, thus all tampering with the action of the stove is
prevented.
This stove can be built in the wall and the opening to the outside of the building.
The products of combustion as they pass from the stove through the pipe, heat such
pipe and thus increase the temperature of the greenhouse or other place through which
they pass, and a high temperature can be obtained by the use of a very small quantity
of gas.

I JAMES STAPLER of Hill Top Armley, near Leeds in the County of York, Cellar
Man 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
The object of my invention is to construct gas stoves for heating greenhouses and
other places, in such a manner that the fumes therefrom cannot enter into such green-
house or other place.
The gas stove is of such a construction also that it can be applied and used by
persons of little experience.
The stove is made preferably of cast iron and in one piece. One portion of it is
made in a rectangular box-like form, the upper portion of which opens into a metal
tube through which the heat passes to any distance required within the greenhouse,
or other place, and terminates in a flue through which the fumes, or products of
combustion, are passed into the outer air.
Within the aforesaid box I apply any required number of atmospheric burners, and
above these in order to give direction to the heated air, I make that part of the box
forming the stove of such an angle as to throw the whole of such heat in the direction
of the hereinbefore mentioned heating pipes; by this arrangement the least possible
amount of heat is lost within the box.
The front of the stove is made in one piece with the box, and openings are only
made therein for the admission of air and the tube for the supply of gas.
The amount of air admitted is regulated by a suitable valve or door.
The front of the stove is enclosed in an outer chamber closed by an ordinary door
which can be locked, thus preventing any tampering with the action of the stove.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will more particularly describe
it making reference to the accompanying drawing throughout the views of which
similar parts are marked with like letters of reference.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my stove; Figs. 2 and 3
are a front clevation, and a plan thereof respectively, with the door removed; and
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of the stove also with the door removed.
The stove consists of a rectangular box-like form having a partition a dividing it
into two parts A and A¹. The part A is an enclosed box having an opening at its top
end which is provided with a flange a¹ to which to connect the heating pipe. The
bottom of the part A is also made open for convenience, as it becomes closed by the
act of setting. Within the part A is fixed an atmospheric gas burner B part of which
is arranged in the outer part of the stove A, and that part of the stove immediately
above the burner B is made at such an angle as will throw the whole of the heat in
the direction of the heating pipe. In the partition a is formed an opening covered by
a sliding door to regulate the amount of air admitted to the part A of the stove, a

page_text: suitable chain c or equivalent device, being provided to fix the sliding door Cat any
desired height. A small opening a² is also made in the partition a for the purpose of
lighting the burner B.
The tube B for the admission of gas passes through the side of the stove into the
part A thereof, and is provided with a suitable tap or "cock" before it reaches the
atmospheric burner B, that part of the burner which admitts air being arranged in
the part A of the stove, and the burner itself being fixed in the part A.
The front of the part A¹ of the stove is closed by a door D hinged in the usual
manner and provided with a catch to fasten it and also with a lock if desired.
It will be obvious that the stove may be made of any desired size, and that more than
one atmospheric burner and heating pipe may be used.
This stove may be built in the wall of the building to be heated, with the opening
on the outside of the building, or it may be placed in any convenient proximity to the
building.
The products of combustion as they pass from the stove through the pipe, heat such
pipe and thus increase the temperature of the greenhouse or other place or building
through which it passes, and a high temperature can thus be obtained by the use of a
very small quantity of gas.
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:-
1 A gas stove for heating purposes constructed, arranged, and operating as herein-
before set forth.
2 In a heating gas stove, the combination of the partition a, the sliding door C, the
chain or equivalent device c, the opening a2, the atmospheric burner B, and the door D,
all arranged, and operating, as, and for the purpose, hereinbefore set forth.
