ORANGES AND STOVES
Year: 1882

the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 20th June 18S2.
ALBERT KIDD ROBINSON of Leeds in the County of York
COOKING RANGES AND STOVES
"
"IMPROVEMENTS IN
My invention has reference to an improved construction of bonnet or fire cover
applied to closed fire ranges by which I am enabled to ventilate the kitchen and
to conduct the steam and gases arising from a closed fire stove direct into the
chimney and which when required can be used for conducting the smoke and flame
direct into the chimney enabling me to convert a closed kitchener into an open
fire range without interfering otherwise with the efficient working and operation of
the range,
In ranges fitted with one or two or more low ovens I apply an angular boiler of
such a forin or construction that it protects the sides of the oven or ovens from the
intense heat of the fire especially of a closed fire. By this means I utilize the
space which has usually been occupied by a fire-brick protector for heating hot
water.
This arrangement enables mo to dispense with a flue underneath the boiler and
to apply it at the top for the purpose of heating the water and thus at the same
time heating both the hot plate and the oven.

COOKING RANGES AND STOVES

"IMPROVEMENTS IN
My Invention has reference to an improved construction of bonnet or fire cover
applied to closed fire ranges by which I am enabled to ventilate the Kitchen and
to conduct the steam and gases arising from a closed fire-stove direct into the
chimney and which when required can be used for conducting the smoke and flame
direct into the chimney enabling me to convert a closed kitchener into an open fire
range without interfering otherwise with the efficient working and operation of
the range.
In ranges fitted with one or more low ovens I apply an angular boiler of such
a form or construction that it protects the sides of the oven or ovens from the
intense heat of the fire especially of a closed fire. By this means I utilize the
space which has usually been occupied by a fire-brick protector for heating hot
water.
This arrangement enables me to dispense with a flue underneath the boiler and
to apply it at the top for the purpose of heating the water and thus at the same
time heating both the hot plate and the oven
And in order that my Invention may be the more completely understood reference
is given to the accompanying drawings and to the letters and marks thereon
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig 1 is a part front elevation and a part section. Fig 2 is a part sectional plan
on line A B Fig 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line C D Fig 2
at is the bonnet which is provided with a valve or damper b, for the purpose of
preventing when required the smoke and heat passing up the chimney direct. The
valve or damper b can be opened by turning the rod c to which it is attached. By
these means I am enabled to convert a closed kitchener into an open fire range
without interfering otherwise with the efficient working and operation of the
range
In ranges fitted with one or more low ovens d I apply an angular boiler e of the
form shewn in the drawings its projecting part ƒ protecting the side of the oven d
from the intense heat of the fire especially when arranged for a closed fire as
shown in the drawings. By this means also I utilize the space which has usually
been occupied by a fire brick protector for heating hot water
Further I dispense with a Hue underneath the boiler e and heat the water from
the top and at the same time also I heat by the same means the hot plate g and
the oven d
I employ the divisional plates h and i for directing the heat either beneath the
hot plate g and round the oven d as shewn by arrows or merely round the hot
plate g and boiler e in the direction shewn by the arrows l. The valves m and n
are of ordinary construction and are employed for shutting off the various parts
where heat is not required. When an oven is employed at o the boiler may be
further extended as shewn at p into the flue beneath which may be of ordinary
construction
Other parts of the range not described or shown may be of ordinary

page_text: Having now described the nature of my said Invention and described with the
aid of drawings how the same may be carried into practice I would have it under-
stood that I do not limit myself to the preciso details or configuration of the parts
described and shewn as the same may be varied or modified without departing from
the nature of my said Invention, what I do claim is
The arrangement construction and application of the various parts forming the
kitchener in combination with the angular boiler e and means employed for heating
those various parts substantially as herein described and shewn
In Witness whereof I the said Albert Kidd Robinson have hereunto set
my hand and seal this twelfth day of December in the year of Our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and eighty two.
ALBERT. KIDD ROBINSON (L.S.)
