An Improved Smoke Consuming Stove.
WILLIAM CHAPMAN 14 Limerston Street Chelsea S.W. Builders Foreman do.
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An improved smoke consuming stove for domestic fireplaces, for every class of
dwelling house.
This stove will consume the smoke as it is made, not partially but entirely. Fuel,.
house coal.
The stove is made with enclosed sides, top, bottom and back, with a chamber on
cach side, from top to bottom, fitted with bafflers. It is quite independant and can
be placed in any other position that may be desired.
The fire is perfectly open, as in any ordinary stove now in common use.
The smoke ascends from the fire up to the under side of the top, when it passes-
through openings to the right and left into the chambers on either side, circulating
over the bafflers down to the level of the fire, when it enters two smaller hot air
chambers, one on each side of the fire, the smoke that is not consumed in these
smaller chambers passes into a hollow bar, the bottom bar of the front of the
grate from which it is discharged immediately under the fire, and totally consumed.
The draught continues under the fire, and upwards in an enclosed space at the back
of the fire, and on through the top into the chimney, or smoke fluc.
The draught is created direct from the hollow bar to the chimney.
This stove can be made in all sizes, suitable for existing fireplaces and also for
new dwellings.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Smoke Consuming Stove.
I, WILLIAM CHAPMAN 14 Limerston Street Chelsea, Foreman Builder, 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 stoves & consists in so arranging & constructing the
same that the smoke before passing up the chimney is caused to pass through a.
suitable chamber or chambers & then through the fire & thence to the chimney.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I annex drawings to which I
now refer.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of a stove constructed according to my invention.
Figure 2 sectional elevation through line -y (Figure 1).
Referring to Figures 1 & 2 a is a deflecting plate which causes the smoke from
the fire to pass through the apertures & into the side chambers cc & then downwards
through same to the recesses & through the apertures c¹ to the hollow fire bar d
thence through the fire at e' to the flue f. The side partitions gg separate the
chambers c c from the flue f. The bottom of the grate may be of any desired
construction such as having cross bars or the like or the bottom may be solid and a
passage to the flue provided at e. The course of the smoke is indicated by the
SPQ71

page_text: arrows in Figures 1 & 2. The heating of the back plate j causes an upward
draught in the flue f.
In Figure 1 part of the side or outer casing k is removed for purposes of
clearness.
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 combined arrangement and construction of a grate substantially as
described and illustrated.
2. In smoke consuming grates, a deflecting plate which causes the smoke to pass,
into chambers & then to a hollow front bar from which the smoke passes through
the fire and thence to the flue substantially as described & illustrated.
