PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bakers' Ovens.
We Jons VICARS, THOMAS VICARS, and JOHN VICARS of 56 Seel Street
Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Engineers, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
The object is to so construct bakers' ovens more especially so called travelling
ovens that heated gases and products of combustion may be readily applied either
internally externally or both.
The invention consists essentially in constructing ovens with one or more fire-
places at the side, with flues and ways leading from such fireplace or fireplaces
about and into the oven, and with dampers so arranged and disposed that the heated
gases and products of combustion from the fireplace or fireplaces may be directed
about or into the said oven or both.
We further construct ovens with a fireproof apron to cover the feed and discharge
mouths and prevent dissipation of heat.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bakers' Ovens.
We JOHN VICARS, THOMAS VICARS, and JOHN VICARS of 56 Seel Street
Liverpool in the County of Lancaster. Engineers 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:-
The object is to so construct bakers' ovens more especially so called travelling
ovens that heated gases and products of combustion may be readily applied either
internally, externally, or both.
The invention cousists essentially in constructing ovens with one or more fire-
places at the side, with flues and ways leading from such fireplace or fireplaces
about and into the oven, and with dampers so arranged and disposed that the heated
gases and products of combustion from the fireplace or fireplaces may be directed
about, or into, the said oven or both.
We further construct ovens with a fireproof apron to cover the feed and discharge
mouths and prevent dissipation of heat.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal vertical section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section at the
line CD. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section at the line A. B. and Fig. 4 is a trans-
verse vertical section at the line E F, all of a bakers oven constructed with our
improvements. The general construction of the oven is usual the novel features
being the combination of the various parts in the manner hereinafter described.
a and are fireplaces at the side, flues c and d lead from the fireplace a, beneath
the oven and to the chimney fluc e, the flue leads from the fireplace b into the
oven, and the flues g lead from the fireplace & to the flue h, above the oven, and
thence to the chimney flue e, dampers i; and k and n, with or without perforated
tiles under these latter, direct the passage of the products of combustion and heated

page_text: gases from the fireplaces to the chimney. I are fireproof aprons for covering the
feed and discharge ways and they are raised and lowered by means of quadrants,
and chains m. It will be obvious that by means of the dampers the heat from the
fireplaces may be directed above below and into the oven or may be cut off from
any of these parts. It will further be obvious that one fireplace alone may be used
but we prefer two.
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 :
First. Bakers' ovens constructed with fireplaces, flues and dampers and with or
without perforated tiles combined substantially in the manner and for the purpose
set forth.
Second. Constructing bakers ovens with fireproof aprons to cover the feed and
discharge mouths substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
