PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cooking Stoves.
We, THOMAS SAWNEY, Manager of GS Commercial Street, Spitalfields,
London E.C. and JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT Manufacturer, of New
John Street West Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of our said invention
to be as follows:-
Hitherto the flues or chimnies of .oil cooking stoves with ovens have been
constructed, as parts of and passing through the oven, and so in one with the stove
and not movable.
Now the object of this invention is to construct a stove which will be more
readily adaptable to the general purposes either boiling or baking than heretofore.
In carrying out our invention we provide the ordinary oil-container with a
chimney or flue suitably hinged for convenience of lighting and trimming. The
bottom plate of the oven is cut away to receive this chimney, a suitable shutter
being provided to cover the part cut away when the oil-retainer and chimney are in
position.
To the roof or upper plate of the stove a chimney or flue is fixed extending
about one half of the depth of the oven, so that when the oil retainer is placed in
position, the hinged flue attached to the oil-container meets the fixed flue and
coincides therewith forming one flue.
Suitable provision is made at the top of the hinged chimney to receive a trivet or
other suitable stand upon which the utensil may be placed for boiling, the oil
container and hinged flue being removed from the stove for this purpose, thus forming
an entirely separate stove.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Cooking Stoves.
We, THOMAS SAWNEY, Manager, of 68 Commercial Street, Spitalfields,
London E.C. and JOHN WILLIAM BERNARD WRIGHT, Manufacturer, of New
John Street West, Birmingham in the County of Warwick, do hereby declare
the nature of our said 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 our invention is to construct an oil cooking stove which will be
more readily adaptable to the general purposes of either boiling or baking than
heretofore.
In carrying out our invention we provide the ordinary oil-container with a
chimney or flue suitably hinged, for convenience of lighting and trimming; the
bottom of the oil container being fitted with a suitable iron frame for the purposes
of strengthening and increasing the durability of the oil container.
The bottom plate of the oven is cut away to receive this chimney, a suitable
shutter being provided to cover the part cut away, nearest the oven door, when the
oil container and chimney are in position.
To the roof or upper plate of the stove, a chimney or flue is fixed, extending
about one half of the height of the oven, so that when the oil-container is placed in
position, the hinged Hue, attached to the oil-container, meets the fixed flue and
coincides therewith forming one flue.

page_text: Suitable provision is made at the top of the hinged flue to receive a trivet or
other suitable stand upon which the utensil may be placed for boiling, the oil-
container and hinged flue being removed from the stove for this purpose, thus
forming an entirely separate stove.
The flues or chimneys may, in some cases, be permanently attached to the stove
in which case a separate chimney fitted with a trivet is supplied to attach to the
oil container, slides or other suitable attachments being fitted for that purpose.
And in order that our said invention may be particularly described and ascer-
tained reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which similar
letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Fig. 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of a two-burner stove fitted with our
improvements.
Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the oil-containers with chimney attached.
Fig. 3 is an end view, partly in section, of an oil-container fitted with a moveable
chimney.
We provide the ordinary oil-container a with a chimney or flue & suitably hinged
at c (Fig. 2) for convenience of lighting and trimming.
The bottom of the oil container is fitted with an iron or other suitable frame a¹
for strengthening, adding weight to, and increasing the durability of the oil-
container.
The bottom plate of the oven is cut away at e to receive the chimney, a
suitable shutter being provided to cover that portion of the opening nearest the oven
door which is not occupied by the chimney when the oil-container and chimney are
in position.
To the roof or upper plate f of the stove, a chimney or flue g is fixed extending
about one half of the height of the oven, so that when the oil-container is placed in
position, the hinged flucb, attached to the oil-container a, meets the fixed fluey,
and coincides therewith forming one flue.
A flange or other suitable provision is made at the top of the hinged flue to
receive a trivet or other stand upon which the utensil may be placed for boiling,
the oil-container a and hinged flue being removed from the stove for this purpose,
thus forming an entirely separate stove.
In Fig. 3 a modification of the above arrangement is shewn. In cases where the
chimneys or flues are permanently fixed to the stove, a separate chimney m fitted
with a trivet o is supplied to attach to the oil-container a by means of slides p. p. or
any other suitable form of connection.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1. An oil cooking stove, in which the flues are divided horizontally, one part of
such flue being fixed to the upper plate of the stove, and the other part being
suitably attached to the oil-container, substantially as, and for the purposes, herein-
before described and illustrated by Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
2. In oil cooking stoves, the application and use of a chimney or flue m, fitted
with a trivet o, for attachment to the oil-container a, substantially as and for the
purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated by Fig. 3 of the drawings.
3. In oil cooking stoves, the application and use of an iron or other suitable
frame or plate a' fitted to the bottom of the oil containers, substantially as and for
the purposes hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.
4. The improvements in oil cooking stoves, substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by the drawings.
