PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Oil and like Cooking Stoves.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, of the Firm of The Frank Rippingille
Stove Company Limited, Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows.
This invention consists of improvements relating to oil and like cooking stoves,
my object being to so construct such stoves as to obtain interchangeability of
pai ts and to enable the connection of such parts for the building up of the com-
plete stoves to be effected in a very ready and convenient manner
In the construction of a stove in accordance with my invention I form the
back and two sides of the body of the stove preferably from one piece of metal
sheeting The door or stove front 18 hinged to a metallic strengthening rod
embraced by the front edges of the sheeting, such edges being strengthened
thereby, and the bottom or base plate of the stove body is secured to the main
body plate or sheeting by the beading or flanging of the edges of the one upon
the edges of the other, and also by the strengthening rod, or the stove body is
screwed to a cast on base
The oven base 18 formed from a pair of dished plates arranged within and
without each other, thus constituting a hollow bottom which is secured by the
small bolts and nuts to the stove body The top of the stove body and the top
of the oven are formed from suitably shaped plates secured by the flanging or
beading over of their edges one upon the other and also by a central bolt The
combined oven top and the stove top are secured by screws or bolts and nuts
to the sides and back plate of the stove body, and to obtain gidity I double
ovel or pane the projecting edges of the top plate to provide an abutment
for the top edges of the main plate or sheet
"
"
The flues are made to fit into position between the top and bottom plates of
the oven, and are secured by the retaining flanges provided on the top and
bottom oven plates which telescope into the flues, the said flanges being formed
by turning up the edges of the apertures provided for the flues in the top and
bottom plates of oven
Between the underside of the double or hollow oven base, and the inner side
of the stove base plate upon which the oil vessels are placed, I insert a plate oven
which slides upon and is supported by portions of the lower plate of the hollow
oven base which are cut away and pressed down to form the connecting aper-
tures between the side flues and the burners beneath.
The whole of the stoves being made interchangeable they can be readily
assembled and secured in the manner described for the formation of complete
stoves without the prior fitting or skilled adjustment necessary when the stove
parts are made up and secured by rivets or by other ordinary means now in
general use

I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, of the Firm of The Frank Rippingille
Stove Company Limited, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick,
Manufacturers, 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 consists of improvements relating to oil and like cooking stoves,
my object being to so construct such stoves as to obtain interchangeability of
parts and to enable the connection of such parts for the building up of the com-
plete stoves to be effected in a very ready and convenient manner.
In the two accompanying sheets of explanatory drawings to be hereinafter
referied to .-
Figure 1 on Sheet 1 is a front elevation representing a stove (minus the
ordinary fittings) constructed in accordance with my invention, and Figure 2 an
end elevation of the same.
Figure 3 18 a sectional elevation and Figure 4 a plan of the stove body.
Figure 5 is an elevation and Figure 6 a plan of one of the flues.
On Sheet 2 Figure 7 18 a sectional front or side elevation and Figure 8
sectional end elevation of the oven top
Figure 9 is a sectional front or side elevation and Figure 10 a sectional end
elevation of the oven bottom or base.
The same reference letters in the different views indicate the same parta
In the construction of a stove in accordance with my invention I form the
back A and two sides A¹ and A* of the body of the stove preferably from one
piece of metal sheeting The door or stove front B has a metallic strengthen-
ing rod passing through the lower edge 6 of the sheeting forming the said door
or front, and such rod serves also as the hinge pin or connection between the
door and the stove body, the ends of the rod being caused to enter bracket
plates as CC secured to the side edges of the oven base Or instead of employ-
ing a rod which extends right across the door I sometimes secure a short pin or
stud to each of the bracket plates C C₁, and cause such pins or studs to enter the
respective ends of the tube or channel b formed by bending up the lower edge
of the sheet from which the door B is made
The
The door is prevented from falling on opening by check chains as 61
bottom or base plate D of the stove body is secured to the main body plate o1
sheeting by the beading or flanging of the edges of the one upon the edges of
the other, and also by a U shaped strengthening rod which passes through
the 1ounded front edge of the plate D and the similar edges of the plates A¹
and A³. I sometimes employ a cast iron base or top for the stove body instead
of the sheet metal base and top as described.
The oven bottom E 18 formed from a pair of dished plates arranged, as shown
at Figures 9 and 10 to constitute a hollow bottom which is secured by small
bolts and nuts as F to the plates A, A¹, and A of the stove body The top G
of the stove and top H of the oven are formed from suitably shaped plates
secured by the flanging or beading over of then edges one upon the other and
also by a central bolt or other suitable stay The combined oven top and the
stove top are secured by screws or bolts and nuts as K to the back and side
plates A, A¹, and A³, of the stove body, and to obtain rigidity I double over or
pane" the projecting edges of the top plate as shown at Figures 7 and 8.
The flues L and L₁ are made to fit into position between the top and bottom
66

page_text: plates of the oven, and are secured by the retaining flanges e and ŉ provided
on the top and bottom oven plates respectively and which telescope into or over
the flues, the said flanges being formed by turning up the edges of the aper-
tures provided for the flues in the top and bottom plates of oven
Between the underside of the double or hollow oven bottom E and the inner
side of the stove base plate D upon which the oil vessels are placed, I sometimes
insert a plate oven as M which slides upon and 18 supported preferably by por-
tions of the burner boxes N as shown
The whole of the stove parts being made interchangeable they can be readily
assembled and secured in the manner described for the formation of complete
stoves without the prior fitting or skilled adjustment necessary when the stove
parts are made up and secured by rivets or by other ordinary means now in
general use
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim 18.-
The construction of oil and like cooking stoves from a number of interchange-
able parts assembled and secured together substantially in the manner described
and as illustiated
