Improvements in Furnaces or Stoves.
I FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention as
communicated to me by Jules Swiecianowski of Varsovie, Russia, to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a furnace or stove formed in the shape of a hollow
prism having triangular ends whose sides are in the ratio of 3: 4 5, the prism
being so arranged that the parallelogram containing the shortest side of the
triangle is horizontal.
The upper part of the furnace or stove is divided by a longitudinal web or
partition, the first division being the fire box and the second the flue to which
a tube is connected through which the combustion gases escape. In the lower
part of the furnace or stove are placed two triangular supports for the fuel and
below is a removeable tray or drawer, or a door may be made through which the
ashes may be removed from the ashpit.
Dated this 3rd day of September 1894.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Furnaces or Stoves.
1 FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention as
communicated to me by Jules Swiecianowski of Varsovie, Russia, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This invention relates to a furnace or stove formed in the shape of a hollow prism
having triangular ends whose sides are in the ratio of 3: 4: 5 the prism being
so arranged that the parallelogram containing the shortest side of the triangle is
horizontal, the vertical face of the prism being to the front of the furnace.
The upper part of the furnace or stove is divided by a longitudinal web or
partition, the first division being the fire box and the second the flue to which
à tube is connected, through which the combustion gases escape. In the lower
part of the furnace or stove are placed two supports for the fuel and below is a
removeable tray or drawer, or a door may be made through which the ashes may
be removed from the ashpit.
In the accompanying drawings
Figure 1 is a diagram shewing the end of a furnace constructed according to
this invention. The sides a b, bc, & ca are in the ratio of 3: 4: 5 respectively;
d represents the longitudinal web or partition, e is the fire box, f is the flue, g the
tube carrying off the combustion gases, hand h' are the supports for the fuel,
and is the removeable tray or drawer to receive the ashes.
Figure 2 is a vertical section of a domestic stove, the furnace of which is
constructed according to this invention. In this case the spacej serves to heat the
air which enters through the tube k and passes off by the outlet 1. The fuel is fed

page_text: to the furnace through the aperture m having a removeable cover or lid n; o is a
hit and miss valve for regulating the admission of air to the furnace.
Figure 3 is a plan of Figure 2.
Figure 4 shews the invention adapted for heating water in a bath, the air for
combustion passing to the ashpit down the tube p.
Figure 5 shews a furnace built into a wall and serving to heat the water in a
boiler q.
These modifications will be understood without further description.
In all the figures of the drawings the same letters of reference are used to
indicate the same or corresponding parts where they occur.
Furnaces made in accordance with this invention will be practically smokeless
and will burn any kind of fuel or waste material without emitting noxious smells,
and will give the same results with a less expenditure of fuel than furnaces as
ordinarily constructed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is :-
A furnace or stove constructed in the form of a hollow prism having triangular
ends whose sides are in the ratio of 3: 4: 5 the prism being so arranged that the
parallelogram containing the shortest side of the triangle is horizontal and forms
the top of the furnace, the vertical face of the prism so arranged forming the front
of the furnace, said furnace being divided by a longitudinal web or partition into a
fire box and a flue, and provided with a charging aperture for the fuel, a tube for
carrying off the combustion products and means for supplying the air for
combustion to the furnace all combined substantially as described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings and for the purpose stated.
