PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Gas Stove.
THOMAS HILTON 75 Shaw Road Oldham in the County of Lancashire do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
It consists of an inner and outer tube. This inner tube is heated at the bottom
by a gas jet. It also acts as a flue to take away the fumes. I place the outer tube
over the inner tube, forming a space between the outside of the inner tube and the
inside of the outer tube; so as to allow a current of air to pass which is admitted
at the bottom of the outer tube and passes out at the top of same.
Dated this 3rd day of November 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Gas Stove.
I, THOMAS HILTON of 75 Shaw Road, Oldham, Stove Maker, 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:-
My invention consists of a stove for heating or warming rooms, buildings and
the like which is entirely free from smell and very simple, effective, and inexpensive
in construction. Said stove consists essentially of an outer tube or casing fitted
with or enclosing an inner tube or casing and provided at its lower extremity with
an opening to receive an argand gas burner or lamp.
Between the two tubes an annular space is left and in the sides of the outer tube
and in a plate which covers the top of said tube perforations are formed opening
into said space. The heat of the lamp in rising impinges against the inner tube
and thus heats it, hence the air in the annular space aforesaid becomes heated and
passes out through the perforations in the cover aforesaid into the room or apart-
ment to be heated, whilst cold air enters said space through the perforations in the
side of the outer tube.
And in order that my improvements shall be the more readily understood and
carried into practical effect I have hereunto annexed a sheet of drawings illustrative
of my improved warming stove and will now proceed to describe the same with
the assistance of the various figures and letters of reference marked thereon.
Fig. 1 is a front exterior view, Fig. 2 a transverse sectional and Fig. 3 a side
exterior view of my improved stove fitted with an argand gas burner or lamp.
Fig. 4 is a similar view shewing my improved stove slightly modified.
In all the views A is the outer tube or casing resting upon the stand or base B
formed with a single opening C, or set of openings D (see Fig. 4), to permit of
the introduction of a gas lamp E.
F is the inner tube, by preference conical, forming the air space H and rivetted
or otherwise affixed to the outer tube A, by preference, at G. The top of the
tube F is enclosed by the cover F¹ with slots cr openings F³.
The back I may be silvered or polished to form a reflector for lighting or
radiating purposes. The opening C or openings D may be closed. In the side of
the outer tube A air inlets J are formed and the top of said tube is enclosed by a
cover K with air outlet openings L.
As the inner casing is heated by the lamp E the air within the annular space H
is heated and caused to issue through the outlet openings L whilst colder air is
Brice But I

air which is delivered into the room or apartment to be warmed.
It will be obvious that the tube F may be formed with parallel sides and it may
extend further down, even to the bottom of the outer tube A.
The lamp E is fitted with a pipe N connected by a flexible tube with a gas
bracket or pendant.
Having thus 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.—
:
In a warming stove, the combination of the outer casing A with an inner, by
preference, conical casing B, annular space H with air inlet and outlet openings I
and J, substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated on the accompanying
-drawing.
