Projecting Lamp-chimney and Regulating Register for Stoves.
CHARLES ASTLEY WAKEFIELD 105 Lansdowne Road Notting Hill London W.
Surgeon do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
For heating on open hearths by one or more oil lamps and to ensure freedom
from noxious gases (the result of combustion) & applicable to register grates
without structural alteration.
The projecting lamp-chimney and regulating register form one apparatus when
in position and consist of the following parts.
A. The receiver somewhat resembles an inverted oval tin scoop or shovel of
about ten and a half inches or more from side to side and four and a half or more
from front to back. It has a hollow handle of tin four inches long and one and
a half or more in diameter opening into the interior of the scoop and sloping
upwards at an incline of not less than one inch in four, thus forming a concave lid
or cover with chimney attached. The circumference of this lid is extended all
round by a flat ring of tin, three inches wide and on the front and sides to a
greater width if required, and to the edge of this, all round, is attached a per-
pendicular rim of tin three inches or more wide, half an inch of which projects
above and the remainder below the edge. To each side of the handle close to its
junction with the scoop, a copper eye is fixed and through these eyes an iron wire
is passed, forming when the ends are joined under the handle, an iron wire-ring.
When the apparatus is in position this ring is attached to the copper loop by a
removable copper wire, about fourteen inches long, and having a small loop or ere
near the end attached to the copper loop. On the length of this copper wire and the
position of its eye depends the satisfactory suspension of projecting lamp-chimney.
B. The escape tube is a straight tin tube about eight or more inches long and
of a diameter to telescope accurately over the handle of the receiver. To one end
of the escape tube a tube of similar diameter and five or more inches long is
joined at an angle of about 100° forming an elbow, under, and half an inch in
front of this elbow, a copper eye is attached, through which a copper wire passes,
forming when the ends are joined above the tube, a loop about seven inches
long.
To the lower end of the escape tube is attached the asp.
To the upright portion of the escape tube can be attached a moveable cowl to
prevent downward draught.
The size of the projecting lamp-chimney must be proportional to the size and
number of the heat producers.
C. The regulating register is the only part of the apparatus that requires
fitting to the fire grate, and must be a near copy of the original whose place it
takes. It is of sheet iron-in the centre of its upper margin a hole is cut to
admit with ease the upright portion of the escape tube, leaving free movement of
the register-a small eye is fixed an inch below the hole described.
D. The asp is a sawlike catch with side plates or wings of copper or zinc by
which it is fixed over the lower end of the escape tube.
E. The latch or register handle is of copper wire, about eight inches long
when looped into the outline of a half pint champagne bottle. The loop rests
round the escape tube and the pointed end is hooked for securing the eye of the
register.

page_text: F. The suspender is made of iron wire or rod forming an isosceles triangle of
about two feet four inches high, according to the hight of the fire place, and with
a base of seven or eight inches wide. To its apex is attached a small hook, and
to its base a copper wire about nine inches long with a small iron ring attached
to one end. In many forms of fire grate an eye or hook, fixed in the centre of
their upper part, may take the place of the suspender.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUTTING APPARATUS INTO POSITION.
Replace old register of fire grate with regulating register and leave it open.
Fix suspender with its base inside the grate, by passing one end of the copper
wire between the bottom bars, and round in front, and through the iron ring and
let the apex of suspender rest against the front of the fire place, outside. Place
looped portion of latch round the escape tube--telescope escape tube over handle
of receiver and attach iron wire-ring to the copper loop by the copper wire. Loop
projecting lamp chimney to the suspender by the copper wire eye. Tilt up the
receiver while depressing the upright portion of the escape tube and insert the
latter behind the arch of the register-opening of the fire grate, and close the register,
and through its eye hook the end of the latch.
By moving the latch backwards or forwards or securing it between the teeth of
the asp, the register will be fixed in the required position.
When the apparatus is fixed as directed the receiver is immediately over the
open hearth and on it place the heat producer.
The gases as they pass from the latter enter the receiver and are conducted by
the escape tube into the chimney.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION.
The receiver Figs. II. III. consists of the following parts, a central raised
portion s. s. somewhat resembling an inverted oval tin scoop of about ten inches
from side to side and four or more from front to back. It has a hollow handle p.
about three or more inches long and one and a half or more in diameter, opening
into the interior of the scoop, and sloping upwards at an incline of not less than one
in four, thus forming a concave lid or cover, with chimney attached. The
circumference of this lid is extended all round by a flat ring t. t. and to its edge
all round is attached a perpendicular rim u. u, about three inches wide, half an
inch of which projects above and the remainder below the edge, to each side of the
handle close to its junction with the scoop, a copper eye q. q. is fixed, and through
these eyes a wire is passed forming a loop r.
The escape tube Figs. IV. IVA consists of an upper portion k, and a lower l,
the lower is a straight tube of about eight inches long, and of a diameter to
telescope accurately over the han lle of the receiver-to one end of this tube,
another of similar diameter and four or more inches long is joined at an angle of
about 100° forming an elbow m, under and half an inch below this elbow, a copper
eye n. is attached, through which a copper wire o. passes, forming when the ends
are joined above the tube, a loop about seven inches long-round the lower end of
the escape tube, is attached the catch. To the upper end k, can be fixed a
removeable cowl to prevent downward draught.
The size of the projecting lamp chimney must be in proportion to the number
and size of the heat generators.
The regulating register Fig. V. is the only part of the apparatus that requires
fitting to the fire grate, and must be a near copy of the original one, of which it
takes the place. It is of sheet iron. In the centre of its upper margin a hole v.
is cut to admit with ease the upright or upper portion of the escape tube, leaving
free movement of the register. Two small eyes w. are fixed below the space
described.
The latch or register handle Figs. VI. VIA is of copper wire, about six inches
long, when looped into the outline of a half pint champagne bottle, the looped end
rests round the escape tube and between the teeth of the catch, when the register
is fixed-the pointed end is hooked for securing the latter.
The catch, Fig. VII. is a toothlike catch of copper or zinc, with side plates a. a.
by which it is fixed round the lower end of the escape tube-also a vertical ridge
of teeth for fixing the latch.
The suspending chain Fig. I. D. is the size of a small dog-chain, with a swivel
hook at one end, to secure wire loop r. of the receiver; at the other end is a steel
ring, for attachment to the hook of the suspender.
On the length of this chain and of the loop of the escape tube, depends the
satisfactory suspension of the apparatus.
The suspender Figs. VIII. VIIIA is made of iron rod, forming an irregular
triangle, varying in height and shape, according to that of the fire place. Its apex
is bent to form a small triangle, with its base (about one inch wide) at the top.
To the suspending point c' a spring hook is attached to secure the loop o. of the
escape tube, and the ring of the suspending chain, Fig. I. D.-to its base is attached
a copper wire of about nine inches long with a small iron ring at one end for
fixing the suspender to the bottom bars of the fire grate.

page_text: copper wire between the bottom bars, and round in front, and through the iron ring,
and let the apex of the suspender rest against the front of the fire place outside. Placo
the loop of the latch round the escape tube. Telescope the lower end of the latter
over the handle of the receiver--attach the loop of the escape tube to the hook
of the suspender, also the ring of the suspending chain to the same hook, and
attach the hook of the suspending chain, to the loop r. of the receiver. Tilt up
the latter while depressing the upright portion of the escape tube, and insert the
latter between the legs of the suspender, and behind the arch of the register
opening of the fire grate, Fig. I. B. and close the register, and through one of the
eyes w. hook the end of the latch. By moving the latter backwards or forwards
or securing it between the teeth of the catch, the register will be fixed in the
required position.
When the apparatus is fixed as directed, the receiver is immediately over the
open hearth, on which the heat generator is placed. The gases, as they pass from
the latter, enter the receiver, and are conducted into the chimney shaft. By
making the receiver circular or oval, and flat on the top, with the central half cut
out, a kettle of water can be kept hot.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner it is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
The projecting lamp chimney and regulating register for stoves, which is readily
suspended and detached from register grates, without alteration of fixed structures,
and which conveys away the noxious gases resulting from combustion, and is
available for use with any heat generator that can pass readily under the receiver.
