PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Tanks or Reservoirs for Oil Stoves.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, trading as The Frank Rippingille
Stove Company, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Stove
Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in tanks or reservoirs for oil stoves,
my object being to construct a tank or reservoir in such a manner that it shall
be practically seamless so as to prevent the possibility of leakage of oil from
the angles, corners or bottoms which exists with such tanks of the usual
construction.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the body of my improved tank
or reservoir from one piece of tinned or other metal plate, which I stamp or
press into a dish like shape. The upper edges of this dish shaped vessel
or tank body I turn or bend over to form a flange to which is secured the lid or
cover of the tank. Such lid or cover consists of a plain sheet of tinned plate or
other metal, its edges being bent over and pressed or clipped under the flange of
the dish shaped vessel. I provide the necessary apertures in the lid or cover for
the purpose of charging the tank, and for the admission of the wick or wicks, and
attach a handle and such other fittings as may be required to the dish shaped vessel
or to the lid of the tank.
For the purpose of strengthening the lid or cover and preventing the oil sweating
or weeping over the tank 1 stamp, solder or otherwise secure stiffening ribs near
to its edges, consisting of metal strips preferably formed into trough like section,
and either with or without internal wires.
By this my improved method of construction I am enabled at small cost to
produce a perfectly tight and seamless tank or reservoir for containing the oil
required for heating or cooking stoves, and to prevent the oil creeping all over the
tank by the raised bead on the cover.

Improvements in Tanks or Reservoirs for Oil Stoves.
I, FRANK SIDE BOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, trading as The rank Rippingille
Stove Company, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Stove
Manufacturer, 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in tanks or reservoirs for oil stoves,
my object being to construct a tank or reservoir in such a manner that it shall
be practically seamless, to prevent the possibility of leakage of oil from the
angles, corners, or bottom, which exists with such tanks of the usual construction.

page_text: In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings to be hereafter referred to,
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 a sectional elevation of my improved
oil tank or reservoir.
Figure 3 is a plan of the tank.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parts.
In carrying my invention into effect I form the body A of my improved tank or
reservoir from one piece of tinned or other metal plate, which I stamp or press into
a dish like shape. The upper edges of this dish shaped vessel or tank body I turn
or bend over to form a flange as illustrated at Figure 2 to which is secured the
lid or cover B of the tank. Such lid or cover consists of a plain sheet of tinned plate
or other metal, its edges being bent over and pressed or clipped under the flange of
the dish shaped vessel as shown at Figure 2. I provide the necessary apertures in
the lid or cover for the purpose of charging the tank, and for the admission of the
wick or wicks, and attach a handle C and such other fittings as may be required to
the dish shaped vessel or to the lid of the tank.
For the purpose of strengthening the lid or cover and preventing the oil sweating
or weeping over the tank I stamp, solder or otherwise secure stiffening ribs such
as D near to its edges, consisting of metal strips preferably formed into trough
like section, and either with or without internal wires.
By this my improved method of construction I am enabled at small cost to
produce a perfectly tight and seamless tank or reservoir for containing the oil
required for heating or cooking stoves, and to prevent the oil creeping all over the
tank by the raised bead on the cover.
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 :-
1. The construction of a tank or reservoir for oil stoves having a seamless body
formed from one plate or sheet of metal with its upper edges flanged for securing
the bent over edges of the lid or cover substantially as hereinbefore described and
as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. An improved tank or reservoir for oil stoves consisting of the combination of
a seamless body with a lid or cover provided with projecting ribs upon its upper
surface substantially as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and as
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
