page_text: I, JAMES LIND of 61 Great George Street, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancashire Lamp Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My invention relates firstly to the combination of an ornamental Framework or
Casing with any suitable Oil or Gas Stove so as to form an efficient, and ornamental
and inexpensive Heating or Warming Stove.
To accomplish this object with an Oil Stove preferably of the kind, having a
Cast Metal Oil vessel, I make an outer casing or Framework of cast or sheet
metal, or of the two combined of square or other shape, and the whole may be held
together, by long bolts, reaching from top to bottom. I provide a suitable aperture
for a glass front preferably of leaded or Cathedral Glass and also a convenient door
with pivot or other hinges, so that the Stove intended for enclosure as the heating
power may be readily removed or replaced. The Framework or Casing may be made
of such size and shape as will adapt it to any size Oil or Gas Stove, and may also
be made, without a bottom to envelope the stove and reach to the ground or
nearly so.
1 further make an air chamber of any suitable shape, conveniently placed above or
near the flame and provided with an inlet or inlets communicating with the outer air
of the room or building and discharging superheated air into the room by suitable
apertures, the proper control of which may be regulated by a valve or damper.
This latter part of my invention is applicable to all kinds of Warming or Cooking
Stoves or Ranges, of the last named, particularly those fitted with Ovens, into which
the superheated air may be introduced, and has for its express object the obtaining of
an additional heat from the same consumption of fuel employed by means of an
air chamber discharging superheated air, in addition to the direct radiated heat
hitherto alone obtained from Oil or Gas warming or Cooking Stoves or ordinary
Ranges.

page_text: 1, JAMES LIND, of 61 Great George Street, Liverpool, in the County of
Lancaster, Lamp Manufacturer, 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:-
My Invention has for its object the forming of an ornamental and inexpensivo
heating stove by making and employing a suitable frame or cabinet in combination
with and in order to enclose as the heating power any cooking or boiling or other
suitable oil or gas stove which may be alreauly in use or otherwise; and also the
obtaining of an additional hent from the same consumption of the fuel employed,
by means of an air chamber placed above or near the flame and discharging super-
heated air.
The beforegoing being the nature and objects of my Invention, I will now proceed
more fully to describe the same and for that purpose I have hereunto attached a sheet
of Drawings illustrative thereof. The Drawings are marked with letters and figuros
of reference corresponding with those used in the following explanation. Like letters
donote like parts in the figures.
Upon reference to the Drawings it will be seen that Figure 1 shows such a frame
or cabinet with door open and with an oil cooking or boiling stove W enclosed as the
heating power, proferably of the kind having a cast metal oil vessel. I make the
cabinet of cast or sheet metal or of the two combined and of square or other
shape and fit it together strongly and inexpensively in the following described
manner :-
The base D the front A A and the top G are of cast metal, the sides and back E E E
being of sheet metal fitting into grooves provided in 1) and (and the whole bound
together by four long bolts as at T, one in each corner and extonding from the top G
to the base D of the frame or cabinet. The door N N may have pivot hinges,
oporating in suitable recesses provided in D and G. F is a window of load framed
or other glass and a suitable knob and catch for opening and closing the door NN.
1 provide an aperture at X for regulating the flame of the enclosed stove without
having to open the door and suitable openings in A Gand B for the proper distribution
of the heated air. B is a cast top removeable if required.
It is obvious that my framework or casing or cabinet may be made of such size
and shape as will adapt it to receive any suitable oil or gas cooking or boiling stove.
It may have simply a window as at F and withont a door, and with the metal top G
fast and of one piece so that the whole may be lifted bodily by the handle V when
required.
In order to save space in packing my frame or cabinet when such is desirable, I
make the sheet metal back and sides E E E hinged at the two corners S S (Figures 1,
2 and 3) then by unscrewing the four long bolts T T which bind the whole together
the back and sides E E E will fold together and with the several parts of the frame
or cabinet may be packed into convenient flat parcels and a great saving of packing
space affected.

page_text: The second part of my Invention relates to the obtaining of an additional heat
from the same consumption of the fuel employed, by means of an air chamber con-
veniently placed above or near the flame. By referring to Figure 3, H is an air
chamber (the Drawing showing an inside view) which may be of any forin or size
required and preferably removeable, by resting in the brackets M M; a pipe of square
or other form as at K extends from this air chamber to the bottom of the stove L
passing through it and receiving cold air from below the stove. The bottom of the
air chamber may have a tube or passage through it us at V Figure 4 or simply he
perforated as shown at Figures 1 and 3 and the outlets for the superheated air may
be simply perforations as at J of Figure 3 or of other convenient form.
The inside of the air chamber H may be filled with asbestos or other suitable
material in order to retain the heat so that the cold air in entering and passing
through may be more readily superheated. The air chamber may be attached as an
adjunct to any
oil stoves for beating purposes and in stoves of sufficient power the
cold air may be introduced when desirable by means of pipes communicating with the
outer air of the room or building and the superheated air may be conducted in a
similar manner by pipes to any desired part of the room or to other rooms and its
proper control regulated by means of a valve or damper.
I also employ an air chamber with great advantage to oil, gas, or other cooking
stoves, particularly those fitted with ovens. Figure 4 shows this as applied to an oil
stove, the heat from which acts upon an air chamber Q placed below the oven X
having inlets for cold air at R R. The upper surface of this air chamber discharges
superheated air to the inside of the oven X by perforations or otherwise as at T¹ T¹.
The air chamber may be provided with a tube or funnel V in order that the direct
heat from the stove W may act upon the bottom of the oven X and pass around the
casing I I.
Figure 5 shows a section of the before going, QQ being the air chamber, R R the
inlets to same and T¹ T' the outlets for the superheated air into the oven X. The
direct heat from the flame pass through a tube or funnel as at V in the air chamber Q
and impinging upon the bottom of the oven X passes round the casings II as shown
by the bent arrows.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1.-A plain or ornamental frame or cabinet, such as described, in combination
with any suitable oil cooking or boiling stove so as to form an efficient heating or
warming stove.
2. A plain or ornamental frame or cabinet such as described in combination
with any suitable gas cooking or boiling stove so as to form an efficient heating
or warming stove.
3. In a frame, or cabinet such as described, the two back corners hinged so as to
