Improvements in Cooking Stoves.
Year: 1898

page_text: I, ERNST BERTII, of 37, Lausitzerstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
Watchmaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of the novelty herewith is an apparatus which purports to conduct
the very nasty and troublesome foul air of the kitchens into the hearth.
The bonnets or lids, made of tin, sheet iron or any other material are put
over the cooking utensils, and then the tube-like annexes at the top of the
lids are connected with the knee-pieces.
The horizontal end of the knee-tube is united with the opposite knee-tube
by pushing forward, and the vertical end of it is again put into connection
in the same manner with the discharge tube, whilst the horizontal end of the
knee-tube dovetails with the prolongation tube, whose end over-dovetails the
tube like annex of the discharge tube.
The discharge tube is conducted with its lower end to a flange into the hearth.
The foul airs, developed under the bonnets or lids, are forced to go the hearth.
The advantages resulting therefrom are evident, but a great stress is laid upon
the fact, that in using the apparatus now in question, it is positively and com-
pletely out of the question that either dust, dirt, or other impurities reach the
cooking utensils.
In addition to this, this apparatus serves, apart from its prin-
cipal object, to warm and purify the air of the space set apart for cooking.
The number of the bonnets or lids is regulated by the various cooking utensils
in use, for which reason the discharge tube must be provided with a corres-
ponding number of tube-like connections, which in case of necessity are wholly
or partly closed or shut by the necessary number of closing lids.

Improvements in Cooking Stoves.
I, ERNST BERTH, of 37, Lausitzerstrasse, Berlin in the Empire of Germany,
Watchmaker, 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:-
:-
The object of the novelty herewith is an apparatus which purports to conduct
the very nasty and troublesome foul air of the kitchens into the hearth.

page_text: And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters
and figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, shows the individual parts of the apparatus, in which are shewn; a the
bonnets or lids, made of any metal whatsoever, and provided at the top with
tube-like annexes; the knee-tubes moveable one into the other; c a prolonga-
tion tube; da discharge-tube with the tube like projection e and the flange f,
and g a closing-lid, necessary under circumstances.
Fig. 2, on the other hand shows the section of an apparatus in use, which is
composed of the following parts: the bonnets or lids, made of tin, sheet iron or
any other material a are put over the cooking utensils, and then the tube like
annexes, at the top end of the lids are connected with the knee-pieces 6 and 63.
The horizontal end of knee-tube is united with the knee-tube 2 by pushing
forward, and the vertical end of it is again put into connection in the same
manner with the discharge-tube d, whilst the horizontal end of the knee-tube 63
dovetails into the prolongation tube c, whose end over-dovetails the tube like
annexes e of the discharge-tube d.
The discharge-tube d is conducted with its lower end to a flange f into the
hearth. From Fig. 2, it is self-evident, that the foul airs, developed under
the bonnets or lids, are forced to go to the hearth, in the form of an arrow.
The advantages resulting therefrom are evident, but a great stress is laid upon
the fact, that in using the apparatus now in question, it is positively and com-
pletely out of the question that either dust, dirt, or other impurities reach the
cooking utensils. In addition to this, this apparatus serves, apart from its prin-
cipal object, to warm and purify the air of the space set apart for cooking.
The number of the bonnets or lids a is regulated by the various cooking
utensils in use, for which reason the discharge-tube d must be provided with a
corresponding number of tube like connections e, which in case of necessity are
wholly or partly closed or shut by the necessary number of closing lids g.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
venuon and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:--
1. The cooking stove substantially as above described in this specification and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
2. An apparatus, consisting of a number of caps or covers «, which in con-
formity with Fig. 2 (by means of a knee and prolongation tube b-c,) and in
conjunction with a discharge tube d, (whose lower end is conducted to the
hearth up to flange f,) are joined by pushing over, with the object of forcing the
exhalations (which develope themselves under caps or covers a) into the hearth,
substantially as herein described.
