Complete Specification Left, 30th Oct., 1894-Accepted, 1st Dec., 1894¨·
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to that class of oil stove having a cast iron tank, or a tank
with a cast iron top, and carrying a hinged or movable oliimaey provided in the
side with a glazed or mica filled aperture to emit light, and fitted at the top with'a
seat for culinary vessels.
The object of the present invention is to provide the above class of oil stove
with improved means whereby the burner can be readily removed and replaced
and fixed in position for use.
For this purpose we employ, as heretofore, a burner the carrying plate of which
fits a suitable socket or recess formed around the opening in the tank top plate, but
instead of fixing it in position by means necessitating the removal of screws, we
adopt the following arrangements.
We binge the chimney, as has heretofore been proposed, to supports free of the
burner, and we fix the chimney carrying frame or seat to the burner carrying plate.
The said chimney carrying frame or seat may consist of a frame to which the
perforated diaphragm around the wick tube is fixed or by which it is carried, or
such perforated diaphragm may itself form the chimney seat, in which case it is
strengthened by dishing or otherwise and is carried by legs or supports fixed to the
burner carrying plate. A spring catch acts, as heretofore, to lock the chimney
down on to its seat. The pinion spindle occupies a notch or recess formed in the
rim around the burner opening in the tauk top, and the burner carrying plate is
preferably provided with a hook or projection at one end which is passed underneath
the tank top.

Improvements in Oil Stoves.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
PORTER, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, 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 invention relates to that class of oil stove having a cast iron tank, or a tank
with a cast iron top and carrying a hinged or movable chimney provided in the
side with a glazed or mica filled aperture to emit light and fitted at the top with a
seat for culinary vessels.

page_text: The object of the present invention is to provide the above class of oil stove
with improved means whereby the burner can be readily removed and replaced and
fixed in position for use.
Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
Figure 1 is an end elevation of an oil stove fitted with our improvements but
showing the top of the chimney broken away.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of the same partly in section and showing the
chimney in its lowered or turned back position.
Figure 3 is a front elevation partly in section of the tank and burner without
the chimney and Figure 4 is a front elevation, Figures 5 and 6 are opposite end
views and Figure 7 is a cross section of the burner and chimney seat apart from
the stove.
a represents the tank, a¹ the burner socket in the tank top plate, & the wick tube,
the burner carrying plate, 6 the perforated diaphragm of the burner, c the
chimney, the chimney hinge, the sight hole,. the seat for a culinary vessel on
the top of the chimney, c the chimney bottom plate carrying the coue c, and'
d a spring catch for securing the chimney in position for use. The parts above
desoribed, separately considered, are well known and form no part of our invention
but we adopt the arrangement herein shown and described for facilitating the ready
removal of a burner aud its ready replacement and fixing in position for use and
we thereby avoid the removal and refixing of scrows for such purpose.
We hinge the chimney c, as has heretofore been proposed, to supports a³ free of
the burner and we fix the chimney carrying frame or seat to the burner carrying
plate 6. The said chimney carrying frame or seat may consist of a frame to which
the perforated diaphragm & around the wick tube bis fixed or by which it is
carried, or, as shown in the drawings, such perforated diaphragm b may itself form
the chimney sent, in which case it is strengthened as shown by dishing and flanging
or it may be otherwise strengthened or stiffened and it is carried by legs or
supports fixed to the burner carrying plate bl.
A spring catch d acts, as heretofore, to lock the chimney e-down on to its seat.
The pinion spindle. occupies a notch or recess a³ formed in the rim around the
burner opening in the tank top and forming the socket a¹ and the burner carrying
plate bis preferably provided with a hook or projection at one end which is
passed underneath the tank top and thereby assists in holding the burner securely
in position even when the chimney is turned back.
We would here remark that we do not claim broadly the provision of means for
facilitating the removal of burner from the class of oil stove herein referred to.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. The improvements in oil stoves of the character herein referred to substantially
as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
2. The novel combination and arrangement of parts in oil stoves.of the character
herein referred to for the purpose of facilitating the removal and replacing of the
burner, substantially as herein shown and described.
"
3. In oil stoves of the character herein referred to the combination of a chimney
hinged to a support or supports free of the burner, a chimney seat or support
carried by the burner and a spring catch for holding the chimney in position for
use substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated..
