PONED IN Co Apparatus for use in Heating Irons.
A communication from LÉON LABBE, of 14, Boulevard Victor Hugo, Montpellier,
in the Republic of France, Dyer.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex;
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention relates to an oven for heating irons designed with
a view to the best possible utilisation of heat without taking up a great amount
of space. In this apparatus the irons after having been placed on the wall of the
oven are protected by covers, whereby chambers are formed in which the heat is
concentrated. The grate of the furnace turns about its axis and thus renders the
cleaning of the furnace an easy task without necessitating raking out. The bottom
of the apparatus may be arranged so as to serve as a reservoir for coke.
The bottom or base of the apparatus is preferably hollow and is provided with
an opening closed by a cover so that fuel can be stored in the interior of this base.
The upper part of the base is provided outside with a flange upon which the irons
that are not in use can be placed and in the centre carries an ash pit or trap. Over
the base is arranged a crown supporting the grate by means of a cross bar secured
to the grate and turning in two holes in the crown. This arrangement of grate
enables the furnace and the grate to be easily and quickly cleaned by turning
partly rotating the latter. The polygonal sided furnace is arranged on the
crown its circumference consisting of a number of faces equal to that of the irons
to be heated in a given apparatus. These irons are arranged all round the furnace
resting upon a projecting flange. After the irons have been put in place the
hinged plates or covers mounted on the top of the furnace are closed. The top
cover has a circular or curved part for heating irons with curved bases and an open-
ing for introducing fuel into the furnace and a cylindrical casing to which is
secured the chimney may also be provided in the top of the furnace.

I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111, Hatton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to an oven or apparatus for use in heating irons designed
with a view to the best possible utilisation of heat without taking up a great amount
of space. In this apparatus the irons after having been placed on the wall of the
oven are protected by covers, whereby chambers are formed in which the heat is
concentrated. The grate of the furnace turns about an axis and thus renders the
cleaning of the furnace as easy task without necessitating raking out. The bottom
or base of the apparatus may be arranged so as to serve as a reservoir for coke.
In the accompanying drawing giving an illustration of the invention,

Fig. 3 a plan of the furnace grate.

The bottom or base A of the apparatus is preferably hollow and is provided
with an opening closed by a cover or door B, so that fuel can be stored in the
interior of this base. The upper part of the base is provided outside with a flange a
upon which the irons that are not in use can be placed, and in the centre support,
an ash-pit or tray C. Over the base is arranged a crown D. supporting the grate E
by means of a cross bar F secured to the grate and turning in two holes in the
crown D. This arrangement of grate enables the furnace and the grate to be easily
and quickly cleaned by turning or partly rotating the latter. The polygonal
sided furnace G is arranged on the crown D its circumference consisting of a
number of faces equal to that of the irons capable of being heated in a given
apparatus. These irons are arranged all round the furnace resting upon a pro-
jecting flange I. After the irons have been put in place, the hinged plates or
covers J mounted on the top K of the furnace are closed. The top cover (Fig. 2)
may have a circular or curved part L for heating iron M with curved bases and
an opening N for introducing fuel into the furnace and a cylindrical casing P to
which is secured the chimney may also be provided on the top of the furnace.
Although the use of coal has been referred to in the example of the invention it
will be understood that other means of heating, such as gas, may be employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention,
as communicated to me by my foreign correspondent and in what manner the
same is to be performed; I declare that what I claim is:-
1. Apparatus used in heating irons comprising a series of chambers around a
central heating device said chamber having covers for closing in the irons whereby
waste of heat to the outside is prevented substantially as described.
2. In apparatus of the character described a grate pivoting about its axis
substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. The combination and arrangement of parts comprising the complete apparatus
