Year: 1878

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Warren Thompson, of 59, Palatine Road, Stoke New-
ington, N., for the Invention of "A NOVEL CHIMNEY POT AND WIND
GUARD."
Sealed the 30th August 1878, and dated the 11th March 1878.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Warren Thompson. at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 11th March 1878.
WARREN THOMPSON, of 59, Palatine Road, Stoke Newington, N. "A NOVEL
CHIMNEY POT AND WIND GUARD."
The external appearance is not different from the ordinary chimney pot, except
that the top is tulip or globe form; but the internal differs from all others.
The top of the chimney or smoke passage is surrounded by a globe, the opening
at the top of which is the same size as that of the chimney, and about eight inches
above the top of the chimney, which is also three inches above the bottom of the
globe.
When the wind blows it enters the globe, and coming in contact with the concave
surface of the globe is conducted or turned, and comes out again with the smoke at
the top.
As the globe surrounds and protects the top of the chimney on all sides, no wind
can blow down and cause it to smoke.

page_text: Figure 1 is a vertical section, and Figure 2 is an elevation of a chimney pot and
wind guard constructed according to my Invention.
Figure 3 is an elevation, and Figure 4 is a vertical section, showing my Invention
applied to an ordinary chimney pot.
In exterior appearance my improved chimney pot and wind guard may closely
resemble that of chimney pots in general use, except that the top is. tulip or. globe
shaped ; but the internal form differs from all others hitherto in use.
According to my Invention the top of the chimney or smoke passage a is sur-
rounded by a globe or tulip-shaped top b, the opening at the top of which is the
same size or thereabouts as that of the chimney or smoke passage a, and about
eight inches, more or less, above the top of the chimney or smoke passage a, which
latter is about three inches above the bottom of the globe or tulip-shaped top b.
In Figures 1 and 2 the part a is represented as formed in one piece with the
globe or tulip-shaped top b; but in Figures 3 and 4 the globe or tulip-shaped top b
is represented as separate from the part a, which latter is supposed to be an
ordinary chimney pot, to which the part b is applied.
When the wind blows it enters the globe or tulip-shaped top b, and coming in
contact with the concave surface of the globe is conducted or turned, and comes out
again with the smoke at the top.
As the globe or tulip-shaped top b surrounds and protects the top of the
chimney or smoke passage a on all sides, no wind can blow down and cause it to
smoke.
It will be evident that the form and dimensions of the parts may be con-
siderably varied from those herein shown and described without departing from the
peculiar character of my Invention.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention and the mode in which
I carry the same into effect, I would have it understood that what I claim is
forming a chimney pot and wind guard by placing a globe, tulip, or other shaped
top b on the chimney or smoke passage a, so as to cause the wind blowing into the

page_text: )
top b to be conducted or turned, and to come out again with the smoke at the top,
in manner substantially as herein shown and described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Warren Thompson, have hereunto set my hand
and seal, this Tenth day of September, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight.
WARREN THOMPSON. (L.S.)
