Improvements relating to Heating Stoves or Boilers for
Horticultural and other Purposes.
1, CHARLES TOOPE, of 1 Stepney Square, Stepney Green, London, E.,
Horticultural Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My present invention has relation to the improved construction of stoves or
boilers such as are extensively used for greenhouses &c. I have already in
previous Patents, namely and particularly Patent No. 2983 of the year 1885,
No. 4142 and 4694 of the year 1886 and No. 17413 of the year 1887 and No. 6816
of the year 1890), described various improvements connected with this subject, and
all devised with a view to efficiently and economically heating greenhouses,
conservatories and the like as also offices, bedrooms &c. and in the case of my
Patent No. 6816 of 1890 a device for purifying the air in greenhouses &c.
designed more especially with a view to annihilate the toxic action of fogs upon
cultivated plants.
In accordance with my present improvements I produce a heater, stove or boiler
of such a construction as to render same specially adapted for use in heating upon
a large scale. That is to say, and with a view also to overcome the disadvantage
of the necessarily large dimensions of a single lamp chamber, I now adopt an
arrangement the distinctive element of which consists in a horizontal disposition of
apparatus having at the lower part a series of chambers for the reception of as
many oil lamps (when oil lamps are employed) the whole or any number of which
may be utilized according to the requirements. The upper part of the apparatus
having a corresponding number of water spaces with flues passing therethrough
leading into a main flue on top, provision being made at the outlet for cleaning the
Aue. The supply of heated water would be taken away at any desired part of the
apparatus.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Heating Stoves or Boilers for
Horticultural and other Purposes.
I, CHARLES TOOPE, of 1 Stepney Square, Stepney Green, London, E.,
Horticultural 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 present invention has relation to the improved construction of stoves or
boilers such as are extensively used for greenhouses &c. I have already in
previous Specifications, namely and particularly Specifications No. 2983 of the
year 1885, No. 4142 and 4694 of the year 1886, and No. 17413 of the year 1887,
and No. 6816 of the year 1890, described various improvements connected with
this subject, and all devised with a view to efficiently and economically heat
greenhouses, conservatories and the like, as also, offices, bedrooms &c.; and, in the

page_text: case of my Specification No. 6816 of 1890 a device for purifying the air in
greenhouses &c., designed more especially with a view to annihilate the toxic action
of fogs upon cultivated plants.
And in order that this my invention may the better be understood I have
appended the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which,
Figure 1, represents a side elevational view partly in section, Figure 2, an end
view, Figure 3, a plan view, with the cover removed, and Figure 4, shews a
perspective view with a portion of the boiler covering or jacket.
Now, in accordance with my present improvements, I produce a heater, stove or
boiler of such a construction as to render same specially adapted for use in heating
upon a large scale; and, also to overcome the disadvantage of the necessarily
large dimensions of a single lamp chamber as in this class of heaters, stoves or
boilers now employed.
Under my present invention, I adopt an arrangement, the distinctive element of
which consists in a horizontal disposition of apparatus a provided at its lower
portion or base with a series of chambers b, into each of which an oil lamp is
inserted (when oil lamps are employed) the whole or any number of said oil lamps
may be utilized according to the requirements.
The water, which is fed into the heater or stove at the "feeder" situated at the
other end of the flow and return pipes, is caused to circulate in the series of
compartments or chambers c situated at the upper portion of my improved heater.
Through the top of said chambers c passes the horizontally disposed flue e and to
which latter is secured the depending flues d, which latter terminate in the top
portion of the chambers b.
When the lamps are alight and the boiler or heater in use, the heat given off
from the lamps passes therefrom to the upper parts, b', of the chambers b and
having circulated therein, passes up through the flues d and thence along the
horizontally disposed flue e and afterwards up through the discharge flue f.
The supply of heated water would be conveyed away at any desired part of the
boiler, such for instance as by means of the outlets 9 to which are attached in
any suitable manner the flow and return pipes. .
Although I have shown in the drawings three lamp chambers b, I wish it to be
understood that any number may be employed, and so also in reference to the
depending flues d, and the water chambers c.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what mauner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
.
The improvements relating to heating stoves or boilers for horticultural and
other purposes, substantially as herein described and shown in the accompanying
sheet of drawings.
