Improvements in Gas-heating Stoves.
I, HEINRICH NEUBURG, of 37, Uerdingerstrasse, Crefeld, in the Empire of
Germany, Chemist, 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 has reference to gas heating stoves, and has for its object to
provide a stove which shall be economical in the consumption of gas, and cleanly
and efficient in its working.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1 shews a view of a circular stove in partial section,
Figure 2 is a view of a graduated stove in partial section, and
Figure 3 is a front elevation of same.
The arrangement of stove, to take an example, consists of a foot a, above which
is a Bunsen burner b, and the flame from same, without causing the deposit of
soot, or choking of the burner, plays upon the bottom of the heating body c,
in the centre of which there is a hole. The heat generated is distributed over
the whole of the body, and radiates into the ambient air, and especially through
the protruding and, in some cases, pointed ribs. The heating gases pass through
the hole in the bottom of the heating body into the interior of same, and here
assist in the heating until they escape through a hole underneath the cover,
into the chimney e from which the heating gases escape into the open air after
having been deprived of their heat in the most efficient manner.
This mode of extracting the heat also has the effect that the steam generated
during the combustion of the gas, condenses in the upper portion of the stove,
and gives off its latent heat to the stove.
The condensed water collects in a sloping rib on the inside, and runs away
through an opening fitted with a discharge tube j.
Of course any desired form may be given to the whole arrangement, so long
as the burner and the heating body are adapted to each other.
The stove may
be round, as shewn in Figure 1, with horizontal or vertical, otcetera, ribs, but
it might be oblong or square; or, as represented in Figure 2, a series of ribbed
bodies may be employed.
In the latter case, for instance, the flame plays upon the lowest ribbed body f,
which is larger than the upper ribbed bodies, and open at the bottom, and
rests on the foot a. The heating gases pass through pipe connections 9, placed
at the end or in the middle of the heating bodies, into the other ribbed
bodies hik, and after heating same escape into the chimney e.
The condensation of the steam in this case takes place first in the upper bodies i
and k, and the condensation water may escape through a small rib provided in the
central connection g, with an opening and a discharge tube j.
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. Improvements in gas heating stoves consisting of the employment of Bunsen

page_text: burners as for the generation of the heating gases, and ribs as d in the body of
the stove, for the quick and uniform radiation of the heat, as set forth.
2. In gas heating stoves as characterised in Claim 1, an internal rib, with
discharge tube for the collection and carrying of the water of condensation,
particularly as set forth.
