page_text: I HARRY STOCKMAN of Sea Houses North Sunderland in the County of
Northumberland Civil 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 :-
My invention relates to a means of ventilating confined spaces such as in houses,
mines, tunnels, sewers and the like by the aid of tubing the subject of this invention
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated one form of tubing as constructed in
accordance with this invention. Figures 1 are a part elevation of the said tubing and
Figure 2 a section on the lines of Figures 1.
In carrying the said invention into practice I employ a tube as at c with an
aperture as at communicating with a mouth as at a. The aperture as at 6 may be
formed by a slot or by perforations and, with the mouth a, running longitudinally
with the tube c for any distance that ventilation may be required.
Ordinary tubing or piping may be joined on to the ventilating-tubing for the
purpose of conveying to or from same; being closed as at d (see section on line pp).
Thus, to ventilate any confined space by the aid of the said tubing, it would be fixed
to the roof or in any other suitable position with the mouth a so directed as to collect
or disperse any foul air or gases, while a draught would be created through the
tubing by a communication with the atmosphere by the means of the closed piping as
at d, to which I may also attach a stop-cowl shown at for I may connect the tubing
with a chimney revolving-fan, or other mechanical contrivance for causing a vacuum
and consequent draught.
In dealing with inflammable-gases collected by the aid of the tubing I sometimes
conduct the said gases to a furnace and thus draw them through the tubing; in fact
collecting the gases by means of their combustion.
The shape and size of the said tubing may of course vary to suit various
requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said in-
vention and in what manner the same can be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
:
First A means of ventilating confined spaces by the aid of a tube with an
aperture or apertures communicating with a mouth; substantially as hereinbefore set
forth; and
Secondly The combination of the tubing with a chimney or mechanical means
(such as used at present) for causing a draught and passing a current through the
said tubing substantially for the purpose specified.

I HARRY STOCKMAN of Sea Houses. North Sunderland in the County of
Northumberland Civil Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and

My invention relates to a means of ventilating confined spaces such as in houses,
mines, tunnels, sewers and the like by the aid of tubing the subject of this invention
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated one form of tubing as constructed in
accordance with this invention. Figures 1 are a part elevation of the said tubing and
Figure 2 a section on the lines a of Figures 1.
In carrying the said invention into practice I employ a tube as at with an
aperture as at communicating with a mouth as at a. The aperture as at b may be
formed by a slot or by perforations and, with the mouth a, running longitudinally
with the tube c for any distance that ventilation may be required.
с
Ordinary tubing or piping may be joined on to the ventilating-tubing for the
purpose of conveying to or from same; being closed as at d (see section on line pp).
Thus, to ventilate any confined space by the aid of the said tubing, it would be fixed
to the roof or in any other suitable position with the mouth a so directed as to collect
or disperse any foul air or gases, while a draught would be created through the
tubing by a communication with the atmosphere by the means of the closed piping as
at d, to which I may also attach a stop-cowl shown at or I may connect the tubing
with a chimney revolving-fan, or other mechanical contrivance for causing a vacuumi
and consequent draught.
In dealing with inflammable-gases collected by the aid of the tubing I sometimes
conduct the said gases to a furnace and thus draw them through the tubing; in fact
collecting the gases by means of their combustion.
The shape and size of the said tubing may of course vary to suit various
requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said in-
vention and in what manner the same can be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
:
First A means of ventilating confined spaces by the aid of a tube with an
aperture or apertures communicating with a mouth; substantially as hereinbefore set
forth; and
Secondly The combination of the tubing with a chimney or mechanical means
(such as used at present) for causing a draught and passing a current through the
said tubing substantially for the purpose specified.
