PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hot Air Ventilating Stoves.
I, CHARLES FOSTER KITE, of 132. Euston Road, London, Ventilating Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to this invention hot air ventilating stoves are provided with a suit-
able jacket which communicates with an air inlet, causing the air to pass up
between the back and sides, or back, or sides of the fire box and the jacket where-
by it is heated, and is then led into the apartment through a grid at the top of the
stove, and to other parts of the building by a suitable flue or flues, the air currents
being regulated by suitable baffle plates or valves. The smoke from the fire box
is carried off by the chimney in the ordinary manner.
Stoves made in accordance with our invention are more compact, convenient,
and economical than those at present in use.

I, CHARLES FOSTER KITE, of 132, Euston Road, London, Ventilating Engineer,
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 for its object an improved construction of hot air ventilating
stove which forms a semi-slow combustion stove that can be readily adapted to
any existing fire place or elsewhere.
In the accompanying drawings, wherein similar letters of reference indicate
corresponding parts, Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a plan of my improved
semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating stove shewing the jacket in section:
Fig. 3 is a section through the distributing chamber taken on the line A A
Fig. 1-Fig. 4 is a section through the ash pit taken on the line B B Fig. 1
shewing the soot doors therein. Fig. 5 is a vertical section in side elevation of
my improved semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating stove taken on the line C C
Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a back view of such stove with the jacket removed; and
Figure 7 is a detail view in isometric perspective of the valve box and valves
in the distributing chamber.

page_text: My improved semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating stove consists of a shell a
that is preferably made in a single casting and is furnished externally with
ribs a¹. The upper part of such shell forms a distributing chamber that is
fitted with a grid band valve box and valves k, k, while the lower portion thereof
forms a fire box f and ash pit c the latter being provided with soot doors d and a
damper a The back of the fire-box is preferably corrugated as shewn in Fig. 6
in order to increase the radiating surface. The shell a forms the body of the
stove and is fitted with a jacket y which takes its bearing upon the ribs a¹, cast
on the shell a, thus leaving a space between the shell and jacket, which space
forms a hot air chamber h, into which fresh air is introduced through an air
inlet at the bottom of the stove. As the air ascends into such hot air chamber,
it becomes heated by the heat radiating from the body of the stove and is led
into the distributing chamber b. and through the grid into the apartment. If
desired it may also be led into other parts of the building by means of one or
more distributing flues ; leading from the distributing chamber. In order to
regulate the hot air current adjustable baffle plates are pivotted in a valve
box k, that is fitted in such chamber. These baffle plates are operated by means
of a hand lever / attached to one or more lateral sliding plates m in the valve box,
which plate or plates rise or fall as the lever is depressed or raised thus opening
and closing the baffle plates as desired. The grid and valve box are made
removable to afford easy access for cleaning the distributing and hot air chambers
and flues when requisite, while the soot doors d allow of the removal of any
rubbish that may accumulate in the bottom of the hot air chamber. The
damper o allows of the through draught to the fire box being regulated as desired,
while a suitable outlet n is provided through which the smoke and other products
of combustion escape.
My improved hot air ventilating stove is self contained,
while owing to the shell forming the body of the stove being surrounded by the
hot air chamber it is not so liable to become intensely heated and burn out.
Another advantage attendant upon this improved construction of hot air stove
is that the maximum amount of heat is obtained thus effecting a considerable
economy by minimising the consumption of fuel.
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. As a new article of manufacture a semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating
stove, consisting of a shell fitted with a jacket so as to form a hot air chamber,
that surrounds the body of the stove, and whereto fresh air is admitted through a
suitable air inlet, while such shell is provided with a smoke outlet, and with a
distributing chamber furnished with a removable valve box and regulating valves,
and with a fire box and ash pit fitted with soot doors and a damper all substan-
tially as hereinbefore described.
2. Fitting a semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating stove constructed accord-
ing to my invention, with one or more pipes to form one or more distributing
flues all substantially as herein before described.
3. The improved semi-slow combustion hot air ventilating stove made sub-
stantially as herein before described and shewn.
