Improvements in or in connection with Oil and Gas Stoves and
the like.
I, GEORGE THOMAS WEST, of Lombard Wharf, Lombard Road, Battersea, in-
the County of Surrey, Brick and Tile Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates more particularly to oil and gas stoves such as are
employed for heating, cooking and ventilating purposes and has for its principal
object to provide a portable radiating chamber as an adjunct to ordinary oil and
gas cooking and heating stoves in order to increase the heating properties which,
while serving in oil stoves to replace the ordinary perforated metallic radiator,.
shall thereby effect more perfect combustion of the hydro-carbon or other fuel
employed and greatly obviate the objectionable odours usually arising from them.
A portable radiating adjunct for an ordinary oil cooking stove according to this
invention consists of an arched dome or bonnet of refractory material adapted
to rest upon the burner table so as to close and surmount the burner chamber.
The arched surface of the dome is preferably continuous and is terminated at
its suramit by a covered ventilating orifice through which the gaseous waste
products of combustion escape.
The arched surface of the dome being unbroken induces an increased draught
through the burner chamber and thereby assists combustion while the refractory
material of the radiating dome becoming highly heated by the burner flame, heats
the mixed gases and further assists in their combustion, any escaping oily vapour
impinging on its inner surface being mixed with the current of heated air and
consumed.
The dome is preferably composed of a mixture of slag wool and fire clay,
asbestos and fireclay, or slag wool, asbestos and fireclay, ground and mixed in the
ordinary manner and burnt. Or peat moss or other like fibre and fireclay may
be incorporated and burnt, the resultant product being a fine porous refractory-
material which facilitates the dispersion of the heat from the burner.

GEORGE THOMAS WEST, of Lombard Wharf, Lombard Road, Battersea, in-
the County of Surrey, Brick and Tile Manufacturer, 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 relates more particularly to oil and gas stoves such as are
employed for heating, cooking and ventilating purposes and has for its principal.

page_text: object to provide a portable radiating chamber as an adjunct to ordinary oil and

shall thereby effect more perfect combustion of the hydrocarbon or other fuel
employed and greatly obviate the objectionable odours usually arising from them.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of an ordinary oil cooking or heating stove surmounted
by a dome or bonnet constructed according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is a
vertical transverse section of the same.
A portable radiating adjunct for an ordinary oil cooking stove according to this
invention consists of an arched dome or bonnet a of refractory material adapted to
rest upon the burner table & so as to close and surmount the burner chamber c.
The arched surface of the dome a is preferably continuous and is terminated at its
summit by covered outlets or ventilating orifices d through which the gaseous
waste products of combustion escape.
The arched surface of the dome being unbroken induces an increased draught
through the burner chamber and thereby assists combustion, while the refractory
material of the radiating dome, becoming highly heated by the burner flame, heats
the mixed gases and further assists in their combustion, any escaping oily vapour
impinging on its inner surface being mixed with the current of heated air and

The dome is preferably composed of a mixture of slag-wool and fire clay,

ordinary manner and burnt. Or peat moss or other like fibre and fireclay, may
be incorporated and burnt, the resultant product being a fine porous refractory
material which facilitates the dispersion of the heat from the burner.

which have been found to give excellent results in practice are as follows:-
