PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus to be Employed for Heating,
Lighting, and Cooking, chiefly applicable for Domestic and
like Purposes.
I, EDWIN SOUTTER of the Firm, and trading as William :Soutter and Sons,
Farm 'Street, Birmingham, Art Metal Workers, do hereby declare the nature of
my said invention to be as follows:-
My invention for " Improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating,
lighting and cooking," consists substantially of the employment of one or two
lamps, constructed with the reservoir .or oil container, the burner and chimney of
an ordinary domestic lamp, and which burns oil of any kind.
I construct a frame or body of metal, or other suitable material, of any required
configuration and design, at the bottom of this body is arranged the oil reservoir
which carries the burner, glass holder, and chimney. At the top of the body I
arrange interiorly a frame of metal, and this frame carries a series of metallic
plates of any required shape,.the lower plate to its underside has affixed a cone or
bell shape form of metal, the mouth of the chimney just enters the mouth of this
cone, each plate has an aperture the first commencing with the cone and the hole
in each diminishing in size, the top plate having no hole at all.
It will be perceived that the lanip when 'lit, the theat therefrom will be carried
up the chimney, and 'by means of the cone through the apertures in each plate so
that the heat is thoroughly distributed and the position of the plates is such as to
cause.a radiation or.a transmission of the 'heat to the room.
The front or sides of the body.may 'be designed as openwork or to receive glass
through which light would be transmitted the back would be plain metal or as a
reflector and the upper part of the body can be used for cooking.
When two lamps are employed the body is arranged, and two sets of plates, 'and
two cones are required.

1, EDWIN SOUTTER, of the Firm, and trading as William Soutter and 'Sons,
Farm Street, Birmingham, Art Metal Workers, do hereby declare the nature of
my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement::-
My invention for improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating,
lighting and cooking consists, substantially of the employment of one or two 'lamps
constructed with the reservoir or oil container, the burner, and chimney, as of
ordinary domestic lamps, and which burns oil of any kind,
....
"

page_text: I construct a frame or body of metal by preference of any required configuration
and design as a stove, to the bottom of this body I arrange a ring for receiving the
reservoir with oil, which also carries the burner and chimney interiorly, and at the
top I arrange a series of metallic plates preferably taking the form of the interior
of the stove, these plates may be arranged in a frame, or each resting upon
projections formed upon the upright parts or pillars of the stove, or they may be
secured by pins, as nuts and bolts, in either case the plates are fixed a require!
distance from each other, each plate has an aperture, and the lowest is the largest,
and each plate upwards diminishes in the size of the aperture; to the top plate,
which has no aperture at all.
•
To the bottom plate and covering its aperture is a cone or bell shape of metal
which I term a conveyer, for when the reservoir is charged with oil of a volatile
nature and the burner therewith, with its cotton lit, and by preference with an air
shaft, on account of the power of heat given thereby, which is conveyed in a
column by the chimney, which engages the mouth of the cone, or conveyer, the
plates aforesaid become heated and the space between each plate, become hot air
chambers, the upper or highest plate having no aperture, the plate and space above.
that being cool will admit of a plinth of marble thereon or other substance, and'
serves as a table upon which things may be placed.
The said plates being arranged or suspended over the heat, a quantity of the
heat from the plates and chambers is émitted in all directions, in right lines, as
rays of radiant heat, the power being increased by rough plates, or diminished by.
polished or smoothed plates, this radiant heat is susceptible of reflection, and for
this purpose I may employ a polished tin plate at the back of the stove or other
kind of reflector, so that the heat is fairly circulated or transmitted to the lower
• part of the room, the upper plate will prevent tbe ascension of heat to a great
degree to the upper part of the room as it first leaves the stove.
When the upper
plate and plinth is removed, simple cooking or heating can be effected. When it is
required to use two lamps the body of the stove is constructed accordingly and the
..,plates and conveyers to correspond..
:
".
And in order that this my said invention may be more particularly described
and ascertained, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, in which
similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts..
Fig. 1 is a view in elevation of a stove, the door being removed to more clearly
illustrate the invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the upper plate, which carries the metallic plates
provided with apertures, the lower plate carrying the cone or conveyer.
'
a is the body of stove. b is the lid of same which will admit of the marble or
other plinth thereon. d, e, f, respectively, being the reservoir, burner and
chimney, which parts. constitute the lamp as used for domestic purposes. d the
reservoir, is supported in the ring g at the base of a and is removeable for filling
and trimming. h, i, j, k,l are metallic plates or radiators with apertures m, n, o, p, q.
r, is the conveyer affixed to the above, named plate the said metallic plates find
their bearing upon the brackets s, and held in position by the bolts and nuts t, u.
I first fill the reservoir d with oil of a volatile nature, the burner having an air
shaft, and being trimmed and -lighted, is placed in the ring g, the mouth off, being
near to the mouth of r so that the heat is conveyed in a column upwards so that
each plate as above described is heated by passing through each aperture as above
described and the intervening space, forms heated chambers for the purpose above
set forth.
c can be removed, and also and the upper plater this brings you in contact
with the heated plates h, i, j, k, l, and by this means cooking is effected.. During
the heating or cooking the light is emitted through the room.
I would observe in conclusion that I do not limit myself to the precise details as
shown on the sheet of drawings but I may vary or modify the same without
departing essentially from the principle of my said invention, I do not contine
myself to the shape or configuration of the stove, nor to the form or number of
The 91

page_text: plates as these would vary according to the application of one, or two lamps, and
their position, and the pattern of the stove.
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 :-
"In improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating, lighting, and cooking
chiefly applicable for domestic and like purposes."
1. In a stove body a the combination of the plates h, i, j, k,l provided with
apertures m, n, o, p, q and r the conveyer therewith substantially as herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.
2nd. In a stove body a the combination of d, e, f, the lamp, with the conveyer r,
with the plates h, i, j, k,l and b, and c substantially as herein before described and
illustrated by the drawings.
3rd. The general construction, combination and arrangement of parts substan-
tially as and for the purpose, as herein before described and illustrated by the
drawings.
