JOHN GARTSIDE DIMELOW and CHARLES PARKIN the Executors of William
Edwards, Tin Plate Worker, 27 Charles St Chorlton on Medlock, Manchester,
and WILLIAM STELFOX, Tin Plate Worker, 12 Hester St, Butler St, Chorlton on
Medlock, Manchester, do hereby declare the nature of our invention for AN
IMPROVED FORM OF HEATING AND ILLUMINATING GAS STOVE to be as follows:-
The object is by a special arrangement of air chambers to produce a constant
flow of superheated air and by means of an iron plate fixed directly over the gas
burners and which we call the burning plate to more or less completely destroy
the smoke and other impurities from the gas so that the hot air is delivered into
the room in a comparatively pure state and no flue is required.
The invention consists in forming a gas stove, which may be of any desired
shape, having a novel arrangement of air chambers as shewn and having an iron
plate, which we call the burning plate, fitted directly over the gas burners but at
such distance as to be beyond the reach of the flame.
The improved construction of Gas Stove will be easily understood on reference
to the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 represents a vertical section of the said stove.
A is a short length of iron gas pipe with one or more ordinary burners fixed
therein.
B. B is a plate of iron fitted above the gas burners in such manner as to form a
division between the two principal chambers C & D. The said plate may be more
or less perforated to allow a current of air to pass upwards or an air passage may
be left between the said plate and one or more sides of the chamber.
N, N, is a series of hollow glass tubes forming the front of the chamber C fitting
closely together in a suitable groove or frame and arranged in such manner that
an upward current of air is induced in them by the heat from the gas flame as
shewn; or the said tubes may be arranged in such manner as to supply a current
of air to the chamber C either in conjunction with the current of air from the
chambers G & H or separately.

& H, the air entering from the back by a series of openings at K and passing
upwards in the direction shewn by the arrows in the chamber G and downwards
through the chamber H entering the chamber C by an opening running the length
of the stove at L the air being brought to a high temperature before passing into
the chamber C.
E is a supplementary air chamber the air entering by an opening at J and
passing upwards in the direction shewn by the arrows and out through one or more
smaller chambers F, F, F, F. The currents of heated air from these and from the
chamber D passing out into the room by the opening R.

We, JOHN GARTSIDE DIMELOW and CHARLES PARKIN the executors of William
Edwards, Tin Plate Worker, 27 Charles St Chorlton on Medlock Manchester and
WILLIAM STELFOX, Tin Plate Worker, 12 Hester St Butler St, Chorlton on
Medlock Manchester, in the County of Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of
our invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The essential features of this invention lie in the formation of a Gas Heating
Stove having an enclosed chamber in which are placed one or more ordinary gas
burners, in conjunction with which enclosed chamber are other smaller chambers
or air passages arranged in such manner as to heat the air which is supplied to the
principal chamber before entering the same.
The object of the invention is by a novel arrangement of air chambers or passages
to produce a constant flow of superheated air which shall be comparatively pure
and free from objectionable smell, and by forming the front of the principal chamber
of clear or opaque glass tubes to obtain a powerful radiated heat and at the same
time a brilliant cheerful light, and also by burning the gas in an enclosed chamber
to obtain greater economy in the consumption of gas and more or less completely
destroy the smoke and other impurities from the gas.
The invention consists in forming a gas stove which may be of any desired shape
having an enclosed chamber in which the gas is burned combined with a novel
arrangement of air chambers or passages as shewn and having an iron plate pierced
with holes which we call the burning plate fitted directly over the gas burners but
at such distance as to be beyond the reach of the flames, such iron plate forming
the top of the enclosed chamber in which the burners are placed.
This may the more easily be understood by reference to the accompanying
drawings in which Figure 1 represents a sectional view of the said stove. Fig. 2
represents front elevation, Fig. 3 plan, corresponding parts in the several figures
be denoted by the same letters of reference.
A. A. is a length of iron gas pipe running the length of the stove in which one
or more ordinary gas burners are fixed. B. B. is a plate of iron pierced with holes
forming the top of the principal chamber C. N. N. is a series of hollow glass
tubes forming the front of the chamber C fitting closely together in a suitable
groove or frame and arranged in such manner that an upward current of air is
induced in them by the heat from the gas flame as shewn.
Or the said tubes may be arranged in such manner as to supply a current of air
to the chamber C by closing the chambers G & EL
Air is supplied to the chamber C which we call the burning chamber by means
of the chambers G & H, the air entering at the bottom of the stove at K and
passing upwards in the direction shewn by the arrows in the chamber G and
downwards through the chamber H passing into the burning chamber C by an
opening running the length of the stove at L the air being brought to a high
temperature before entering the chamber C.

page_text: S is a sheet of wire gauze or finely perforated metal forming a division in the
chamber C through which the air passes in entering the chamber C.
EE are supplementary air chambers the air entering by the openings J. J. and
passing upwards in the direction shewn by the arrows the current of heated air
from there passing out into the room through the openings F at the front of the
stove.
D represents a chimney with the flat plate D' and which has a range of gills on
it running the length of the stove, the chimney D carrying off the products of
combustion that pass into the space D³ from the burning chamber C.
T. T. represents a series of plates or gills set in front of the stove for the purpose
of heating the air that passes into the room in conjunction with the gills on
plate D*.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of our said
invention and the manner in which the same is or may be carried into effect we
wish it to be understood that what we claim is :-
1st. The combination with an enclosed burning chamber of a series of supple-
mentary chambers or passages for beating and distributing the air substantially as
and for the purposes described.
2nd. The combination with an enclosed burning chamber of a series of per-
pendicular glass tubes for heating and distributing the air substantially us and for
the purposes described.
3rd. The combination with an enclosed burning chamber of a novel arrangement
of supplementary chambers or passages for heating the air previous to its entering
the burning chamber substantially as and for the purposes described.
4th. The combination with an enclosed burning chamber of an iron plate pierced
with holes, such plate forming the top of enclosed chamber substantially as and
for the purposes described.
