PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements relating to Oil Stoves and Lamps.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTILAM RIPPINGILLE, of the Frank Rippingille Stove Company
Limited, of Plume Street, Aston, in the County of Warwick, Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists of improvements in the method of mounting the cone
above the burner of a stove or lamp, my object being to provide simple and
effective means for conveniently raising and lowering the cone when required.
In mounting a cone upon the tank or oil reservoir of an oil lamp or stove in
accordance with my invention I employ metal arms or levers, preferably two at
each end of the cone, and pivot their lower ends to the upper side of the tank or
oil vessel. The pivot pins consist preferably of wires extending across the tank
thus enabling one pin to be employed for two oppositely placed arms or levers, one
lever being attached to each end of the pin. To an extended end of one of the
pivot pins I attach a suitable handle or finger piece for the purpose of raising and
lowering the cone in the manner hereinafter described.
The upper ends of the arms or levers are connected to the cone which is con-
structed in the ordinary manner, and the levers are of such length and are so
arranged that when the handle or finger grip herein before described is turned in
one direction, the cone is moved away from the burner and lowered towards the
base, whilst if turned in the opposite direction the cone is raised and carried into
its position above the burner. The arms or levers at each end of the cone are so
disposed that the effect of their combined circular movement is to produce a
parallel vertical movement of the cone. I am thus enabled to raise or lower the
cone and to carry the same clear of, or away from, the burner without causing it
to travel in a circular path.

Improvements relating to Oil Stoves and Lamps.
I, FRANK SIDEBOTHAM RIPPINGILLE, of the Frank Rippingille Stove Company
Limited, of Plume Street Aston in the County of Warwick, 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:-

page_text: This invention consists of improvements in the method of mounting the cone
above the burner of a stove or lamp, my object being to provide simple and
effective means for conveniently raising and lowering the cone when required.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings to be hereinafter referred to:
Figure 1 is a side elevation and Figure 2 an end elevation representing a
combined cone and a chimney or flue mounted in accordance with my invention
on the tank or oil reservoir of a stove.
In the application of my invention I employ metal arms or levers as A, and
pivot them to projecting strips or brackets as B from the upper side of the tank or
oil vessel C. The pivot pins consist preferably of wires extending across the tank
thus enabling one pin to be employed for two oppositely placed arms or levers, one
lever being attached to each end of the pin. On an extended end of one of the
pivot pins I attach or form a suitable handle or finger grip D for the purpose of
raising and lowering the cone in the manner hereinafter described.
The ends of the arms or levers away from the pivot pins are connected to the
cone E which is constructed in the ordinary manner and preferably has the chimney
or flue F secured to it. The levers are of such length and are so arranged that
when the handle or finger grip D is turned in one direction, the cone is moved away
from the burner and carried to the position indicated by dotted lines at Figure 2,
whilst if turned in the opposite direction the cone is raised and carried into its
position above the burner. The arms or levers at each end of the cone are so
disposed that the effect of their combined circular movement is to produce a
parallel vertical movement of the cone and I am thus enabled to raise or lower
the cone and to carry the same clear of or away from the burner with the chimney
or flue Fin its vertical or normal position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The improved method of mounting the cone above the burner of an oil stove
or lamp, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In an oil stove, the combination comprising a pair of arms or levers on
opposite sides of the tank or vessel, pivotted at one end upon the tank or projections
from the same and connected at the opposite end to the cone, the levers being
operated by means of a handle or finger grip provided on the projecting ends of one
of the pivot pins extending across the tank substantially as and for the purposes
described and as illustrated.
