Improvements relating to Oil and like Cooking Stoves.
I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, of the Firm of The Frank Rippingille Stove
Company Limited, Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturers,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements relating to oil and like cooking stoves,
my object being to construct such a stove from a number of parts which can be
disconnected for packing in a small compass and subsequently reconnected for
service in a ready and convenient manner.
In constructing a stove in accordance with my invention I form the two sides
and the back of the stove body from three wrought iron or steel sheets or plates,
the vertical edges of the plates being hinged or connected by turning the one over
the other, or by using separate cofner pieces to slide over suitable projecting edges
on the side plates, the connected parts being arranged in such a manner as to
form sockets for the connecting bolts by which the cast iron top and base are secured
to the body of the stove. On the withdrawal of the connecting bolts the top and
bottom parts are completely detached from the body, and the two side plates of the
latter are turned down upon such back plate, or are disconnected by sliding off
the corner pieces, and the body with its top and bottom parts can then be readily
packed within a small compass.
The oven within the body of the stove I form preferably from a pair of side flues
with a hollow or double bottom pan and a single top pan, such top and bottom pans
being provided with attachment plates forming grooves within which the flanged
upper and lower ends of the side flues are caused to slide when the parts are to be
connected, but from which they can be readily withdrawn for packing. The
ordinary burner cones are secured in the required positions upon the underside of
the double bottom pan of the oven. The oil vessels with burners are inserted in
the space between the base of the stove framing and the underside of the bottom
pan of the oven.
The hot plate at top of stove is provided with apertures for the pots or other
cooking utensils, and handles, grids, and other ordinary and usual fittings are
combined with the stove.

I, HERBERT VILLIERS RIPPINGILLE, of the Firm of The Frank Rippingille Stove
Company, Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturers, 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:-
-
This invention consists of improvements relating to oil and the like cooking stoves
my object being to construct such a stove from a number of parts which can be
disconnected for packing in a small compass and subsequently reconnected for
service in a ready and convenient manner.
In the two accompanying sheets of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referred to.-
Figure 1 is an elevation, of my collapsible cooking stove, as connected for
service, with the door open to show the interior.
Figure is an elevation showing the stove parts disconnected and arranged in
a small compass for packing and transit.
Figure 3 on Sheet 2 is a side elevation and Figure 4 a front elevation illustrating,
to a larger scale, the method of connecting the side flues with the oven top and
bottom plates.
Figure 5 is a sectional elevation showing the method of connecting the stove
side and back plates.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In constructing a stove in accordance with my invention I form the two sides A
and B and the back C of the stove body from three wrought iron or steel sheets
or plates, the adjacent vertical edges of the plates being hinged or connected by
turning the one over upon the other, as shown in the detail view at Figure 5, or
by using separate corner pieces on the back plate to slide over suitable projecting
edges on the side plates, the connected parts being preferably arranged in such a
manner as to form sockets for the connecting bolts by which the cast iron top and
base are secured to the body of the stove. The said bolts (D and D¹) we indicate
by dotted lines at Figure 1, whilst one of the bolts (D) is shown at Figure 5 passing
through its socket formed by the adjacent vertical edges of the side plate B and
the back plate C. On the withdrawal of the connecting bolts D and D¹ the top and
bottom parts E and F are completely detached from the stove body and the two
side plates A and B of the latter can then be turned down upon the back plate C,
or disconnected therefrom by sliding off the one from the others; the body with its
top and bottom plates and the other parts of the stove can then be readily packed
within a small compass in the manner shown at Figure 2.
The oven within the body of the stove I form preferably from a pair of side
flues G and G¹ with a hollow or double bottom pan H and a single top pan J, such
top and bottom pans being provided with attachment plates as ; (Figures 1, 3,
and 4) forming grooves within which the flanged upper and lower ends of side flues
are caused to slide when the parts are to be connected, and from which they can be
readily withdrawn for packing. The ordinary burner cones g g¹ are secured in the
required positions upon the underside of the double bottom pan H of the oven.
The oil vessels K K with the burners are inserted in the space L between the
base of the stove framing and the underside of the bottom pan of the oven.
The hot plate E at top of stove is provided with apertures for the pots or other
cooking utensils; whilst a door as M, and handles, grids, and other ordinary and
usual fittings are combined with the stove.

page_text: By constructing the stove from a number of parts arranged in the manner herein-
before described, the disconnection of the said parts for packing and transit and
the subsequent reconnection of the same for service can be readily and conveniently
effected by an unskilled person.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. The improvements relating to oil and like cooking stoves, whereby the stove
parts can be readily and conveniently disconnected for packing and transit and
subsequently reconnected for service, substantially as described.
2. A collapsible cooking stove constructed substantially as described and as illus-
trated.
