Complete Specification Left, 14th Nov., 1891-Accepted, 19th Dec., 1891
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Paraffin Stoves.
1, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junior of 44 to 50 Granville Street, Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Lamp Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
--
The object of this invention is to increase the heating power and combustion of
paraffin stoves for cooking and other purposes by means of an improved spreader
and air inlet as hereinafter described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
The air spreader consists of a flat solid top A with circular sides B, the said
sides being made of gauze, preferably of No. 7 hole for the purpose of regulating
the influx of air and causing more perfect combustion. The stove is also fitted with
an air inlet C formed of gauze.
The air entering to the spreader passes beneath the oil vessel up through the
central tube of the lamp, and its tendency is to cause the flame to spread outward
from the air spreader, the air passing through the air inlet comes from the side of
the lamp and its tendency is to neutralize the force of the air from the sides of
the spreader and to cause the flame to rise higher up the stove and produce a
greater heat.
Thus it will be perceived that the object of this invention is to produce a greater
heat by means of more complete combustion which is accomplished by means of
the gauze in the air spreader and by the air inlet, which distributes and regulates
the ingress of the air to the stove so as to cause more complete combustion and
greater heat.
Dated this 14th day of February 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Paraffin Stoves.
1, ISAAC SHERWOOD Junior of 44 to 50 Granville Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Lamp 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 :-
The object of this invention is to increase the heating power and combustion of
paraffin stoves, for cooking and other purposes by means of an improved spreader
and air inlet as hereinafter described and illustrated by the drawing accompanying
this Specification.
The air spreader consists of a flat solid top A, with circular sides B, the said
sides being made of gauze preferably of No. 8 hole, for the purpose of regulating
the influx of air, and causing more perfect combustion, the stove is also fitted with
an air inlet C formed of gauze.
The air entering to the spreader passes beneath the oil vessel up through the
central tube of the lamp and its tendency is to cause the flame to spread outward
from the air spreader. The air passing through the air inlet comes from the side
of the lamp, and its tendency is to neutralize the force of the air from the sides of
the spreader and to cause the flame to rise higher up the stove and produce a
greater heat

page_text: Thus it will be perceived that the object of this invention is to produce a greater
heat, by means of more complete combustion which is accomplished by means of
the gauze in the air spreader and by the air inlet which distributes and regulates
the ingress of the air to the stove so as to cause more complete combustion and
greater heat.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The air inlet (as and for the purpose specified.
2. The air spreader having a solid top A and gauze sides B applied to paraffin
stoves.
3. The combination of the air spreader and the air inlet as and for the purpose
specified.
