Improvements in Stoves to be employed for Heating, Lighting, and
Cooking, chiefly applicable for Domestic Purposes.
We EDWIN SOUTTER, and WILLIAM SOUTTER, trading as William 'Soutter
and Sons, Farm Street, Birmingham, Art Metal Workers do hereby declare the
nature of said invention to be as follows:
:-
Our invention for "Improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating,
lighting and cooking, chiefly for domestic purposes," consists substantially of the
employment of the reservoir, or oil container, the burner, and chimney, of an
ordinary domestic lamp (in their combination) which burns oil, but light or volatile
oil we use by preference.
We construct a frame or body of metal, of a required height, and of any suitable
design, by one mode with four vertical pillars, the lower part serving as feet, and
the upper part carrying a wire or openwork metal basket, the lower part of said
pillars carrying a metal ring which receives and supports the reservoir, or oil
container, the burner and chimney. At the bottom of the basket, and between the
four vertical pillars we arrange a cone, or bell shape form of metal; when the
reservoir is in the ring with its burner and chimney the said chimney extands to
the mouth of the cone.
The intermediate space from pillar to pillar would be filled up with decorative
work in metal or stained glass, and in various ways according to the taste or
caprice of the artist or artisan.
The openwork basket contains a quantity of asbestos, or any substance endued
with the property of remaining incombustible or unconsumed by fire or heat.
To practically illustrate our invention:-
When the reservoir with its burner, and ohimney is placed in the ring in the
frame or body, properly trimmed and lit, the heat is carried up to the cone which
acts as a receiver, and conducted to the asbestos, which becomes a mass of heat,
and with a suitable cover to prevent danger it becomes circulated through the
room.
We do not limit ourselves to any particular burner, or oil to be consumed 'but
by preference we employ the burner and resevoir, with air shaft.
We thus construct (by the application of an ordinary oil lamp to a suitable
body) an apparatus which serves the purpose of heating, lighting, and by the
removal of the lid or cover, cooking can be effected..

We, EDWIN SOUTTER and WILLIAM SOUTTER, trading as William Soutter
and Sons, Farm Street, Birmingham, Art Metal Workers, do hereby declare the
nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
Our invention for improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating,
lighting or cooking chiefly for domestic purposes consists substantially of the
following parts.
We employ a reservoir for oil, with the burner, and chimney thereto, as is used
for an ordinary domestic lamp and which burns oil, light or volatile oil by
preference.
We construct a frame, or body, to receive this lamp of any desired pattern
or configuration, and at the lower part. The upper part carrying a metallic
basket, wire by preference, with a metallic cone or bell shaped piece at the bottom,
while the top is provided with a metallic cover.
The basket contains asbestos, or other material for embodying heat, but
inconsumable.
1.
The position of the reservoir and burner is such that the chimney approaches the
aperture of the coned piece as above described, and the burner being lit, while the
reservoir is charged with a light volatile oil, on account of its intense heat.
The heat is conveyed in a column to the asbestos. The cover to a degree
checking the ascent of the heat by diffusing or circulating the heat at the lower
part of the room first.
By removing the lid of the stove and the cover which is affixed thereto, simple
cooking or heating can be effected and the room is also lighted.
And in order that this our said invention may be more clearly understood, we
will now proceed to describe the same with the aid of the accompanying sheet of
drawings. The same letters of reference denote the same parts in each figure in
which they occur.
"
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 view in elevation of the basket with the bell shape at its bottom, and
the cover at the top.
a is the body of the stove. b is the lid of same. c, d, e, respectively being
the reservoir, burner, and chimney, which parts constitute the lamp as used for
ordinary domestic purposes. c the reservoir is supported in the ring at the
base of a, and is removed for filling. 9 is the basket arranged to rest upon h, the a
mount of a, by means of the hooks ii, which said basket is charged with asbestos j.
k is the cover. I the conveyer.
We first fill the reservoir c with oil of a volatile nature, and the burner with
air shaft (by preference) which we place in a, and when the wick is lighted gives
a greater power of heat than any other burner, and by the position of the
chinney e, being close to the mouth of 1, a column of heat is carried to j, the
asbestos, or other incombustible material, which is inconsumable, a body of
heat is thus formed which is checked in its ascent by the cover k, so that a
circulation of the heat is effected at the lower part of the room, and where it is
most required. The room being lighted by the said burner and at the same time.
The lid b and cover k being removed the heat concentrated by ; in g may now be
employed for cooking by means of a pan or kettle.
We would observe in conclusion that we do not limit ourselves to the precise

page_text: details as shown on the sheet of drawings, but we may vary or modify the same
without departing essentially from the principle of our said invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
In "Improvements in apparatus to be employed for heating, lighting and
cooking, chiefly for domestic purposes."
1. To a stove body as a, the combination of the basket g, for receiving the
incombustible fuel j, the conveyer 1, and cover k, substantially as herein before.
described and illustrated by the drawings.
2. To a stove body as a, the combination of c, d, e the lamp, with the conveyer,
g the basket, and k the cover, substantially as and for the purpose herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.
3. The general construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially
as herein before described and illustrated by the drawings.
