MOTRIONAL DI BUITIVATION.
Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to that class of oil stove having a cast iron tank, or a
tank with a cast iron top, and carrying a hinged or movable chimney provided in
the side with a glazed or mica filled aperture to emit light, and fitted at the top
with a seat for culinary vessels.
The object of the present invention is to provide the above class of oil stove
with a readily removable burner, which can be also readily replaced and fixed in
position for use.
For this purpose we employ, as heretofore, a burner the carrying plate of which
fits a suitable socket formed around the opening in the tank top plate, but instead
of, as heretofore, fixing it in position by the legs of a chimney carrying frame
surrounding the wick tube and fixed to the tank top plate by screws, we adopt the
following arrangements.\
The
We hinge the chimney carrying frame or seat and chimney separately to
supports free of the burner, and we provide the chimney carrying frame or seat
with legs which rest upon and securely hold the burner in position in its seat when
the chimney and its carrying frame or seat are locked in position for use.
perforated diaphragm around the wick tube in the above case is carried loosely on
the chimney carrying frame or seat. Or we fix the chimney carrying frame by
uprights or legs to the top of the tank but free of the burner carrying plate, and
we hinge the chimney to its carrying frame as heretofore, but the perforated
diaphragm is fixed to the wick tube. The chimney has, at its lower end, legs
which pass through holes in the perforated diaphragm and which rest on and
securely hold the burner in place when the chimney is fixed in position for use.
Thus, by turning back the chimney, the burner is released and can readily be
removed from its seat by lifting it, with the perforated diaphragm, through and
clear of the chimney carrying frame.
Or, as another modification, we dispense with the usual chimney seat or frame
and fix the perforated diaphragm at the bottom of the cone plate; we also hinge
the chimney to an upright at one end of the tank top, so that the chimney shall
move edgewise when moving into and out of position for use, thereby enabling the
slot in the perforated diaphragm to pass readily over the wick tube. The free end
of the chimney in this case will rest on an upright at the opposite end of the tank
top to that at which it is hinged and will be fixed in position by any suitable or
usual means.
The burner carrying plate is provided with a hook or projection at
one end which is passed underneath the tank top, and, at the other end, the pinion
spindle is placed between short jaws or uprights forming a socket, and is held in
position for use by means of a cross pin passing through the said socket jaws and
over the pinion spindle. Thus, by turning back the chimney and removing the
cross pin, the burner can be readily removed from its seat..

filled through the burner opening in the top thereof, and the ordinary filling nozzle
can, if desired, be dispensed with.
The invention also greatly facilitates cleaning, repairs, wick fitting, &c.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE- Lamp and Stove Manufacturer and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The invention relates to that class of oil stove having a cast iron tank, or a
tank with a cast iron top, and carrying a hinged or movable chimney provided in
the side with a glazed or mica filled aperture to emit light, and fitted at the top
with a seat for culinary vessels.
The object of the present invention is to provide the above class of oil stove
with a readily removable burner, which can be also readily replaced and fixed in
in position for use.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
Figures 1. 2. 3 show one form of our invention Figure 1 being a front elevation ;
Figure 2 an end elevation and Figure 3 an end elevation partly in section with the
chimney turned down.
Another form of our invention is shown at Figures 4 to 8 Figure 4 being a front
elevation, Figure 5 an end elevation partly in section and with the chimney turned
down, Figures 6 and 7 front elevations showing the chimney turned down and the
burner in different positions it may assume when being removed from its seat and
Figure 8 a plan of the burner separately.
In all the figures like parts are indicated by similar letters of reference.
a represents the tank, a¹ the burner socket in the tank top plate, 6 the wick tube,
61 the burner carrying plate, 2 the perforated diaphragm of the burner, c the
chimney, c' the chimney hinge, c2 the sight hole, c³ the seat for a culinary vessel
on the top of the chimney, c the chimney bottom plate carrying the cone c, d the
chimney carrying frame or support, e legs for securing the burner in position for
use and a spring catch for securing the chimney in position for use.
The parts
above described, separately considered, are well known and form no part of our
invention but we adopt the arrangements herein shown and described for facilitating
the ready removal of a burner and its ready replacement and fixing in position
for use.
We will first describe the arrangement shown at Figures 1. 2. 3.
In this form of the invention we hinge the chimney carrying frame or seat d and
chimney c separately to supports a² free of the burner, and we provide the chimney
carrying frame or seat d with legs e which rest upon the burner carrying plate 61
and secure the burner in position in its seat or socket a¹ when the chimney c and
its carrying frame or seat d are locked in position for use.
The perforated diaphragm 62 around the wick tube in this case is carried
loosely on the chimney carrying frame or seat d thereby offering no impediment to
the motions of the latter.

page_text: Thus when the stove is required for use the chimney c and its seat d are both
locked in position by the spring catch as shown at Figures 1 and 2 and con-
sequently the burner will be firmly secured in position within its socket a¹ by the
When it is
legs e of the chimney seat d resting on the burner carrying plate b
desired to remove the burner from its seat the chimney e and its seat d.are turned
back on the hinge c' as shown by Figure 3 when the burner can readily be lifted
out of its seat; if however it is desired only to lower the chimney for the purpose
of cleaning the same or to enable the wick to be trimmed this can be done without
raising the chimney seat d. In this latter. case the chimney seat d and consequently
the burner will be secured in position by the spring catch f.
We will now describe the modification shown at Figures 4 to 8.
In this case
we fix the chimney carrying frame or seat d by uprights or legs d' securely to the
top of the tank a but with such legs free of the burner carrying plate and we
hinge the chimney c to its carrying frame or seat d as heretofore, but the perforated
diaphragm is fixed to the wick tube b.
The legs e in this case are fixed to the chimney bottom or cone plate c¹ and
such legs pass through holes in the perforated diaphragm 62 and rest on the
burner carrying plate thereby securely holding the burner in place when the
chimney c is locked in position for use by the spring catch f. Thus by turning
back the chimney the legs e are removed from the burner carrying plate band the
burner thereby released when the latter can readily be removed from its seat a¹
by lifting it with the perforated diaphragm 62 through the opening in the chimney
carrying frame or seat d and clear thereof. In Figure 6 the burner is represented
in its seat by full lines and by broken lines it is shown slightly raised therefrom
and partly through the chimney seat or support d and at Figure 7 the burner is
shown further raised and nearly clear of the chimney seat or support d. With the
freedom of removal of the burner as above described, the tank can without loss
of time, be readily supplied with oil through the burner opening in the top thereof,
and the ordinary filling nozzle can if desired be dispensed with.
The invention also greatly facilitates cleaning, repairs, wick fitting &c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The improvements in oil stoves substantially as herein shown and described
and for the purpose stated.
2. In oil stoves the novel constructions and arrangements of parts whereby the
burners can be readily removed from their seats and readily replaced and secured
in position for use substantially as herein shown and described.
