Complete Accepted, 22nd July, 1887.
I LEWIS WALKER LEEDS of 38 Old Jewry in the City of London Heating and
Ventilating Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
--
This invention relates to apparatus for heating or cooking by gas or liquid fuel such
as oil or other lamps.
The invention consists in certain hereinafter described improvements or
modifications of the invention set out in specification Number 5841 of 1886 in
which it is stated that the desired results can be obtained by means of one or more
jets of gas burning in the open beneath an arch or layer of refractory material
preferably perforated or provided with tortuous openings placed in or near the base of
a superposed receptacle closed at its sides and top. I now propose to make the front
or exposed sides of said receptacle of glass in order that the gas or fire jets and
asbestos or refractory arch may be clearly visible and thus not only will the desired
heat be secured but a clear and pleasant light will be thrown into the room or apart-
ment in which the stove is used, a further improvement consisting in substituting
mirrors or other backed glass for the reflecting surfaces.

Improvements in Apparatus for Heating or Cooking by Gas or
Liquid Fuel.
I, LEWIS WALKER LEEDS of 38 Old Jewry in the City of London, Heating and
Ventilating Engineer, 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 apparatus for heating or cooking by gas or liquid fuel such
as oil or other lamps.
The invention consists in certain hereinafter described improvements or modifications
of the invention set out in specification Number 5841 of 1886 in which it is stated
that the desired results can be obtained by means of one or more jets of gas
burning in the open beneath an arch or layer of refractory material preferably
perforated or provided with tortuous openings placed in or near the base of a
superposed receptacle closed at its sides and top. I now propose to make the front
or exposed sides of said receptacle of glass in order that the gas or jets of flame
and asbestos or refractory arch may be clearly visible and thus not only will the
desired heat be secured but a clear and pleasant light will be thrown into the room or
apartment in which the stove is used, or when colored glass is used a colored glow or
effect will be obtained. A further improvement consists in substituting mirrors or other
backed glass for the reflecting surfaces.
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 :-
1st. A gas or liquid fuel stove in which the flame is beneath an asbestos or refractory
arch above which is a closed receptacle the front or sides of which are fitted with glass
substantially as set forth.
2nd. A gas or liquid fuel stove in which the flame is beneath an asbestos or refractory
arch above which is a closed receptacle the light and heat being deflected and reflected
by mirrors or other backed glass substantially as set forth.
