1 SAMUEL PICKERSGILL Stove Grate Manufacturer Star Foundry Eagle Street
Derby in the county of Derby do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:―
To provide a double flue valvo for regulating the draught and throwing the heat
right into the room, instead of allowing it to escape up the chimney as is so often
the case, the said double valve working in a recess in the fire back, or it may be
worked without the recess to suit particular cases, it being arranged so that when the
fire is burned up the larger valve is drawn forward towards the canopy or hood of the
stove leaving only a small opening to the flue to take away the little smoke and gases
that it is requisite to pass into the flue, thus, not only checking the draught but
throwing the heat right into the room and when the fire is not wanted the smaller
valve is closed, by a chain or hook attached to it for that purpose, thus closing up
the apperture to the chimney complete. When a fire is again wanted or for sweeping
the chimney the valves can be thrown back clear out of the way and the canopy can
be removed also to give more free access either for sweeping, or repairs to tho fire
back than is usually the case. The front bars of the fire I also form separate from
their standards in such a manner that they are easily slided in and out by means of a
mid feather, thus admitting of cleaning or replacing without inconvenience and at
little cost.

SAMUEL PICKERSGILL Stove Grate Manufacturer Star Foundry Eagle Street Derby
in the County of Derby 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 :-
Figure 1 is an Elevation of the complete left hand half of a Stove arranged according
to my Invention, the same letters apply to corresponding parts wherever used, D is
the front bars of the fire arranged to slide in and out of the standards E by the mid
feather as shown at G. The double flue doors are shown closed at A B C Fig. 2
which is a section through K K, Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the closed doors &
Fig. 4 is to illustrate their position when the small door only is open. It will thus be 1
seen that by the arrangement at C, the small door can be opened or closed without.
disturbing the larger door and that by it and a pin or shoulder which works against
the large door, both doors may be thrown completely back out of the way.
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 1
claim is
1st. The double flue doors arranged to close and open separately or combined, by
hook chain or lever for the purpose of throwing the heat into the room and to arrange
for the escape of noxious gases whilst so doing, substantially as herein before described
and illustrated by the accompanying Drawings.
