IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF STOVES
Year: 1862

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to William Beatson, of Rotherham, in the County of
York, Stove Grate Manufacturer, for the Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE MANUFACTURE OF STOVES."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Beatson at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 14th
August 1862.
I, WILLIAM BEATSON, of Rotherham, in the County of York, Stove
Grate Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF STOVES," to be as follows:-
My Invention consists in constructing drawing room and other stoves with
the inner arch and cheeks, together with the brick or other back and the
bottom grate and the doors into the chimney, movable, either separately or
two or more of such parts together, being those parts which are liable to be
injured or blackened by the action of the fire. The removal is effected
without the necessity of moving the stove from the chimney piece.
The object of my Invention is to afford more ready access to the chimney
for the purpose of fixing or refixing, and sweeping or repairing the said
stoves; also to enable those aforesaid parts to be taken out when the fire is

page_text: not required, and to have bright or ornamental parts substituted or placed
in front of the parts blackened by the fire without removing the parts so
blackened.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent, filed
by the said William Beatson in the Great Seal Patent Office on the
14th February 1863.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, WILLIAM
BEATSON, of Rotherham, in the County of York, Stove Grate Manufacturer,
send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the Fourteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, in the twenty-sixth year of Her
reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the
said William Beatson, Her special licence that I, the said William Beatson, my
executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others as I, the said William
Beatson, my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter during the
term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and
vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANU-
PACTURE OF STOVES," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said
William Beatson, my executors or administrators, by an instrument in
writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should par-
ticularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in
what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be
filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said William Beatson, do hereby declare the
nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement, reference being had to the Drawings hereunto annexed, that is to
say:-
My Invention consists in constructing drawing-room and other stoves with
the inner arch and cheeks, together with the brick or other back and the
bottom grate and the doors into the chimney, movable, either separately or two
or more of such parts together, being those parts which are liable to be

page_text: injured or blackened by the action of the fire. The removal is effected without
the necessity of moving the stove from the chimney piece.
The object of my Invention is to afford more ready access to the chimney
for the purpose of fixing or refixing, and sweeping or repairing the said
stoves; also to enable those aforesaid parts to be taken out when the fire is
not required, and to have bright or ornamental parts substituted or placed in
front of the parts blackened by the fire without removing the parts so
blackened.
Figure 1 of the accompanying Drawings is a front view of a stove con-
structed according to my Invention; Figure 2 is a front view shewing the
stove with the inner arch a, doors c, and range d, removed; Figure 3 is a
detached view of the inner arch and the doors; Figure 4 is a view showing
the stove with the back e, cheeks b, and the bottom grate ƒ also removed;
to effect the removal of these parts, it is only necessary to unfasten the
screws g. 9; Figures 5 and 6 are respectively side views of the stove with and
without the movable parts.
And having now described the nature of my said Invention, and in what
manner the same is to be performed, I declare that I claim the construction
of stoves with the inner arch and cheeks, the brick or other back, the bottom
grate and the doors into the chimney, movable, either separately or two or
more of such parts together, substantially in manner and for the purposes
herein-before described and illustrated in the accompanying Drawings.
In witness whereof, I, the said William Beatson, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Twelfth day of February, One thousand eight
hundred and sixty-tbree.
WILLIAM BEATSON. (L.s.)
