Footing Domestic Ovens
and for other Purposes.
I, JOHN YEADON, of Simpson Green, Idle, near Bradford in the County of York,
Stone Mason, do hereby declare the nature of said invention for AN IMPROVED
STOVE OR APPARATUS FOR HEATING DOMESTIC OVENS AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
to be as follows:-
:-
"
This invention relates to a novel stove or apparatus which I fix in an ordinary
kitchen grate, close to the oven, and which occupies but a few inches of said grate,
leaving room for an ordinary open fire, and is isolated therefrom.
The lower part of the said stove or apparatus is provided with a grate and
projects a short distance beneath the oven and into the under flue or port thereof.
The projecting part is open at its end to the under-flue or port, and also to the
underside of the oven, and that part of the stove which occupies a portion of the
kitchen grate as above referred to and where fuel is supplied, is fitted with a cover,
in some cases hinged to the body of the stove or apparatus, in others, when more
convenient, the cover may have a sliding movement, or it may be arranged for being
taken off for the admission of fuel and be afterwards replaced.-The stove or
apparatus is fitted close to the oven, and as near as possible airtight at its junction
with the under-flue or port thereof.
It will thus be seen that when the stove or apparatus is in operation, it is closed
at the top, and is similar in its action to that of an atmospheric or air-furnace, the
induced current of air required to support combustion being compelled to pass
through the bottom grate and to cause the fuel to attain an intense heat which
passes along the bottom, side and top of the oven on its way to the chimney.
By this arrangement, but a small quantity of fuel is required, and the stove or
apparatus becomes a great economiser of fuel.
The stove or apparatus may also be used for other purposes, such for instance
as heating what is known as "hot plates," used for heating Tailors' and other
smoothing irons.

and for other Purposes.
I, JOHN YEADON, of Simpson Green, Idle, near Bradford, in the County of York,
.Stone Mason, 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 to a novel stove or apparatus to be fixed in an ordinary
kitchen grate, close to the oven, and which occupies but a few inches in a
lengthwise direction of such grate, leaving room for an ordinary open fire and is
isolated therefrom.
The lower part of the said stove or apparatus is provided with a grate and
projects a short distance beneath the oven and into the under flue or port thereof.
The projecting part is open to the under flue or port, and to the underside of the
oven, and that part of the stove which occupies a portion of the kitchen grate as
above referred to, and where fuel is supplied, is fitted with a cover, in some cases
hinged to the body of the stove or apparatus, in other cases when more convenient,
the cover may have a sliding movement, or it may be arranged for being taken off
for the admission of fuel and be afterwards replaced. The stove or apparatus on
being fitted close to the oven is made as near air-tight as possible at its junction
with the said under flue or port thereof.
It will thus be seen that when the stove or apparatus is in operation, it is
closed at the top and is similar in its action to that of an atmospheric or air-
furnace, the induced current of air required to support combustion of the fuel
being compelled to pass through the bottom grate of the stove, and to cause the
fuel to attain an intense heat, which passes along the bottom, side, and top of
the oven on its way to the chimney.
By this arrangement, but a small quantity of fuel is required, and the stove or
apparatus becomes a great economiser of fuel.
The stove or apparatus may also be used for other purposes, such for instance
as heating what are known as "hot plates" used for heating Tailors' and other
kinds of smoothing irons.
In the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1, is a front elevation of the improved
stove a, and Fig. 2, is a side elevation shewing its application to the heating
of a domestic oven b. Fig. 3, is a plan. c, is a sliding cover capable of being
moved backward for the admission of fuel-d shews a portion of an ordinary
kitchen grate. The admission of atmospheric air to the stove is indicated by
the arrow 1, the arrows 2. 3. 4, shew the direction of the heated gases or flame
from the stove a, along the underside of the oven, up the side flue e and over
the top to the chimney.

invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
The stove or apparatus constructed, arranged or applied and operating sub-
stantially as hereinabove described and shewn in the drawings for the purpose
Bet forth.
