TO STOVES AND OTHER HEAT SUPPLIERS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Ralph Augustine Jones
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 4th February 1868.
I, RALPH AUGUSTINE JONES, of Aylesbury, in the County of
Buckingham, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "AN IMPROVED WARMING AND VENTILATING VESSEL OR APPA-
BATUS APPLICABLE TO STOVES AND OTHER HEAT SUPPLIERS," to be as follows:-
This Invention consists in constructing a vessel or apparatus so that
be fitted on or in or be formed in or on a stove, or used

page_text: in connection with the same, or with any suitable heat supplier, such
vessel or apparatus having pipes or passages and chamber or chambers,
any or all of them, placed in communication by suitable opening or
openings with the external atmosphere or with any air renovator, and
at another opening or openings communicating with the room, apart-
ment, or place to be warmed or ventilated. This vessel or apparatus
should be supplied with water, and arrangements may be made for
letting off hot air, so to act on the water as to vaporize the same,
thus rendering the air hygrometric. This vessel or apparatus may be
provided with valves or dampers for wholly or partially closing the
openings of the pipes, passages, or chambers aforesaid. This vessel
or apparatus should be constructed of metal or material that will
withstand the application of heat even when water is not used in
the vessel or apparatus, in which manner it can be used if requisite.
In order to illustrate a form and manner in which the said Invention
may be carried out in practice, I have accompanied this Provisional
Specification by a Sheet of Drawings that I will now describe as an
example of the vessel or apparatus above described.

filed by the said Ralph Augustine Jones in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 3rd August 1868.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, L, RALPH
AUGUSTINE JONES, of Aylesbury, in the County of Buckingham,
Gentleman, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Fourth day of February, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, in the thirty-first
year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and
grant unto me, the said Ralph Augustine Jones, Her special licence,
that I, the said Ralph Augustine Jones, my executors, administrators,
and assigns, or such others as I, the said Ralph Augustine Jones,
my executors, administrators, and assigns, should at any time agree
with, and no others, from time to time and at all times thereafter
during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully might make,
use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for
"AN IMPROVED WARMING AND VENTILATING VESSEL OR APPARATUS APPLICABLE
TO STOVES AND OTHER HEAT SUPPLIERE." upon the condition (amongst
others) that I, the said Ralph Augustine Jones, my executors or
administrators, by an instrument in writing, under my, or their, or
one of their hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same was
to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal
Patent Office within six calendar months next and immediately after
the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Ralph Augustine Jones, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The nature of the said Invention consists in constructing a vessel
or apparatus so that the same may be fitted on or in or be formed
in or on a stove, or used in connection with the same, or with any
suitable heat supplier, such vessel or apparatus having pipes or passages
and chamber or chambers, any or all of them, placed in communication

page_text: This
by suitable opening or openings with the external atmosphere or with
any air renovator, and at another opening or openings communicating
with the room, apartment, or place to be warmed or ventilated.
vessel or apparatus should be supplied with water, and arrangements
may be made for letting off hot air, so to act on the water as to vaporize
the same, thus rendering the air hygrometric. This vessel or apparatus
may be provided with valves or dampers for wholly or partially closing
the openings of the passages or chambers aforesaid; and such vessel
or apparatus should be constructed of metal or material that will
withstand the application of heat even when water is not used in the
vessel or apparatus (as for instance, when sand is used for increasing
the heating effect, or otherwise, or when the space usually occupied
by the water is left vacant), in which manner it can be used when
thought desirable, as is illustrated by the Drawings accompanying this
Specification, and hereafter described with reference thereto.
Having thus described the nature of the said Invention I will now,
in further compliance with the aforesaid condition in the said Letters
Patent contained, proceed to particularly ascertain and describe in
what manner the same is to be performed or put in practical operation,
and I shall in describing the same refer to the Drawings accompanying
this Specification by the words, figures, and letters following, that
is to say :-
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in section, of a form
of my warming and ventilating vessel, the same being arranged as
part of or in connection with a vase or urn constituting a stove,
as shewn.
Fig. 2 is an elevational view of a stove with a form of my warming
and ventilating vessel constituting part thereof.
Fig. 3 is a view, partly in elevation and partly in section, of a form
of my warming and ventilating vessel, the heat being derived from
hot water or hot air pipes, such water or air being heated by a stove
or furnace situate at any convenient distance.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of another form, the use and action being
similar to Fig. 3,

page_text: Figs. 5 and 6 elevational views of other forms (with interior arrange-
ments shewn in dotted lines), their use and action being similar to
Fig. 3, but in Fig. 5 provision is shewn for a double flow and return
of hot water or hot air.
In the said Figures A denotes the space between the outer and
inner vessels for containing water or air; B, hollow space in base
(Figs. 1 and 2) in which a spirit lamp, or gas, or other burner is
fixed for heating the water held in the space between the two vessels;
C, tube for connecting the inner vessel with the outer atmosphere
by means of a flexible tube or otherwise; D, inner vessel, into which
the fresh air from outside passes to be warmed, moistened, medicated,
or perfumed, previously to passing into the room; E (see Fig. 1 only),
hollow lid which forms part of the chamber for warming the air in
its passage into the room; F, top of air chamber through which the
air passes into the room after having been warmed; G, water space
for containing water for evaporation.
Figs. 7 and 8, sectional views of stoves with other forms of my
warming and ventilating vessel applied thereto, so as to be capable
of being readily removed therefrom.
Fig. 9, plan view, shewing the arrangement of the tubes.
In said Figures A denotes the space to be filled with sand or water,
or left empty for hot air; B, air tubes for conveying air from air
chamber through the heating medium A; C, tube for connecting the
inner vessel with the outer atmosphere by means of a flexible tube
or otherwise; D, central tube or passage for conveying the heat from
the gas burner through the stove; E, gas burner for heating the stove;
F, top of stove with flat plate underneath for throwing down the
warmed air to the water to be charged with moisture; G, space
for water for evaporation; H, small sand bath so fixed as to be heated
by the burnem, air chamber for supplying the tubes.
-
If the forms shewn at Figs. 7 and 8 be used with water or air in
the space A, the top G would be made fast to the other part of
my warming and ventilating vessel. If sand be used, the said top
part G would be made moveable, so that upon the top part being
removed the stove may be used for cooking purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of
the said Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed and

page_text: put into practical operation, I hereby declare that I do not claim
the mere constituent details herein described, which do not constitute
my Invention; but I claim the Invention, the nature and character
whereof is set forth in this Specification by the words preceding the
words "Description of the Drawings."
put into practical operation, I hereby declare that I do not claim

In witness whereof, I, the said Ralph Augustine Jones, have
hereunto set my hand and seal, this First day of August,
in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and
sixty-eight.
