page_text: I, WILLIAM PEEL, of Cobblers Hill Birstall, near Leeds, in the County of York,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to prevent smoky chimneys and down draughts in
same.
I employ a chimney pot or cowl of earthenware or metal, consisting in a round,
square, octagon, or other shape of body extending upwards with a series of louvres
around it at intervals, such louvres being at an angle from the outside to the
inside. Above the louvres is a smaller central vertical stem or outlet, and a larger
annular outlet passing at an angle outwards and upwards, the central vertical
opening extending much higher than the outer angular openings. The central
vertical outlet is for the smoke, the louvres are for the wind to pass up and out
at the angular openings, so creating an updraught and entirely preventing down
draught, and preventing smoky chimneys. When made in earthenware, it is
made in two or more pieces and fixed together by cement or other means.

I employ a chimney pot or cowl of earthenware or metal consisting of a round,
square, octagonal, or other shape of body A extending upwards with a series of
louvres B around it at intervals, such louvres being at an angle from the outside to
the inside.
Above the louvres is a smaller central vertical stem or outlet C, and a larger
annular outlet D, passing at an angle outwards and upwards, the central vertical
opening C extending much higher than the outer annular openings.
The central vertical outlet is for the smoke, the louvres, are for the wind to pass
up and out at the annular openings, so creating an updraught and entirely pre-
venting downdraught and preventing smoky chimneys.
This chimney pot or cowl can also be applied as a sanitary ventilator, with or
without the top or cover E.
When made in earthenware the cowl or pot is made in two or more pieces fixed
together by cement or other means.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what
I claim is
1. Chimney cowls or ventilators constructed with angular louvres B, vertical
smoke outlet C, and annular outlet D, substantially as shown and described.
2. Ventilators constructed with angular louvres B, vertical outlet C, and annular
outlet 1, with cover or top E, substantially as shown and described.
