Improvements in Slow Combustion Stoves.
I, FRANCIS CHARLES PEECOCK, of Hilda House, Stowmarket, in the County of
Suffolk, Solicitor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in slow combustion stoves, and consists
in providing such stoves with a perforated false bottom or grate surface, form-
ing, in conjunction with the floor or bottom of the stove, a hot air space or chamber
that serves at the same time to receive the ashes falling through the perforations
of the grate. Said ashes collect and are retained in this space or chamber and
are thus prevented from interfering with the combustion, while they are readily
removable therefrom, when necessary, without disturbance of the fuel in the
stove.
According to my invention I may employ a grate adapted to fit the internal
walls of the stove and preferably made in two pieces for convenience of insertion
and removal. This grate may be supported on a ring or collar of a shape and size
corresponding to the interior of the stove and constructed of iron or other fire-
resisting material. This collar is arranged to rest upon the floor or bottom of
the stove and against the walls thereof; and, in cases where a door is provided
in the wall of the stove at the base thereof, a portion of the collar is preferably
removed opposite such door. Said ring or collar may also be formed in two pieces
if desired.

Improvements in Slow Combustion Stoves.
I, FRANCIS CHARLES PEECOCK, of Hilda House, Stowmarket, in the County of
Suffolk, Solicitor, 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:-
or
My invention relates to improvements in slow combustion stoves, and consists
a perforated removable false bottom
in providing such stoves with
and forming, in conjunction
a removable collar
grate supported by
with the floor or bottom of the store, a hot air space or chamber that
serves at the same time to receive the ashes falling through the perforations of
the grate. Said ashes collect and are retained in this space or chamber and are
thus prevented from interfering with the combustion, while they are readily
removable therefrom, when necessary, without disturbance of the fuel in the stove.

page_text: By constructing the grate and the support therefor so that they are removable
the stove can be used with or without the grate as desired.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into
effect I will proceed to describe the same more fully with reference to the accom-
panying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is a vertical section of a stove constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same taken on the line of Figure 1.
Figures 3 and 4 respectively show the grate and its support removed from the
stove.
A is a slow combustion stove of the ordinary type having the usual aperture a
at its lower portion and a stoking hole and flue at its upper portion. B is the grate
which I prefer to make in two pieces as shown in Figure 3 in order that it may
be readily inserted in and removed from the stove when desired. C is a collar or
annular support for the grate B, such support being also made preferably in two
pieces as shown in Figure 4 for convenience of insertion and removal. This
annular support is cut away at that part which is near the aperture a in order that
access may be had to the hot air space or chamber D formed beneath the grate,
for the purpose of removing the ashes or the like.
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. For use with a slow combustion stove a grate and support therefor so con-
structed as to permit of their being readily applied to or removed from the stove
in order that it may be used with or without a grate.
2. For use with a slow combustion stove a grate and support therefor con-
structed substantially as described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
