A New or Improved Device for Heating, Cooking, and other Purposes.
I, JAMES MASSEY HOLLINSHEAD, 78, Liverpool Road, Newcastle, Staffs.,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of a new or improved device for heating water, cook-
ing and other purposes. In carrying out my invention, I provide a suitable
casing in which an absorbing material, such as asbestos is carried, being packed
around a coil of suitable material, such as metal wire, or the coil may be hollow.
The oil is carried in any suitable receptacle, so arranged as to be delivered as
required to the absorbant material. Any suitable kind of oil may be employed,
the ignition is effected through an aperture in the casing aforesaid, and the
products of combustion and flame, pass along a channel of suitable material,
upon which the flame or vapour is to operate. The device may be so arranged,
as to be hung or supported upon the bars of a grate, & the draft of the
chimney will tend to carry the Hame and products of combustion along the
channel for the purpose of heating. For outdoor use, I may provide a shield
and deflector, so arranged as to direct the air or wind into the ignition aperture,
thus causing the passage of the flames or products of combustion to the desired
part.

A New or Improved Device for Heating, Cooking, and other Purposes.
I, JAMES MASSEY HOLLINSHEAD, of 78, Liverpool Road, Newcastle, Staffs.,
Gentleman, 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 to provide a cheap and convenient device
for heating cooking and the like and is especially applicable for use on a grate
without requiring the lighting of a fire.
I will describe my invention with reference to the accompanying drawing
which shows the arrangement in longitudinal vertical section in Figure 1 and
in plan in Figure 2.
According to my invention I provide a casing A such for example as that
described in the Specification of my prior Letters Patent No 1364 of 1897
in which an absorbent material a such as asbestos is carried the said material

page_text: being packed round a coil a² of suitable material such as metal wire, or the
coil may be formed of metal tubing through which water may be passed so as to
effect the heating of the same when the apparatus is in use. The oil is prefer-
ably supplied to the casing from an oil vessel B provided with a conical base
which screws into a feed pipe b fixed in and passing through the knob on the
cover of the aforesaid casing A, or the oil may be otherwise fed thereto by a
pipe leading from an outside supply. The ignition of the oil is effected through
an aperture in the casing. The products of combustion and flame pass by
the flaring opening as formed towards the upper end of the casing A to a
channel or attachment C made of metal or the like upon which the flame or
vapour is to operate. The said channel is formed with one end open so as
to fit over the aforesaid flaring opening and is closed at its other end. The
nose of a bent guide rod a sliding in supports on the casing A takes against
a projecting piece on the said channel or attachment so as to retain the said
channel in position against the casing. The said channel is provided with an
opening on its upper side through which the products of combustion pass to
heat a vessel for example supported on a wire or other support, perforations
being formed on the underside of the said channel or attachment opposite the
opening to increase the circulation of the air and so improve the draught.
When in use indoors the apparatus is supported or hung by the bracket c
depending from the underside of the channel or attachment upon the bars
of a grate. Oil is supplied to the casing A from the vessel B so as to saturate
the absorbent material a and a light is applied to the aperture a', the kettle
or pan or other vessel when such is to be heated being placed on the wire or
other support 4. The draught from the chimney will cause the products of
combustion to pass along the channel or attachment C whereby the vessel on
the support becomes speedily heated to the required degree.
For outdoor use I provide a shield or deflector so arranged as to direct the air
or wind into the ignition aperture thus causing the passage of the flames or
products of combustion to the desired part.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
1. An improved device for heating cooking or the like comprising the com-
bination with a casing such as A containing a coil and absorbent material
supplied with oil of a channel or attachment such as C removably secured to
the said casing for conducting the heat generated by the combustion of the oil
in the casing to a vessel placed on the said channel or attachment substantially
as herein before described and shewn in the accompanying drawing.
2. The combination and arrangement of parts constituting the improved device
for heating cooking and the like substantially as hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
