IMPROVE- MENTS IN GAS STOVES
Year: 1885

page_text: I CHARLES PARTINGTON, of 405 Halliwell Road, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Bleacher, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVE-
MENTS IN GAS STOVES," to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of Gas Stoves and
consists in forming an outer metallic shell of suitable form provided internally
with one or more inner metallic casings disposed to leave a cavity between each.
To admit atmospheric air to aid combustion the whole is mounted on a metallic
stand or bottom with suitable preparations, the admission being regulated by a
swivelling or other damper.
The inner or centre casing is fitted with a vertical pipe or pipes provided with
angular or other projections, under which are fixed a convenient number of
atmospheric burners supplied with gas by any convenient means.
The heat from the ignited gas ascends and descends through the vertical pipes
and cavities to a suitable outlet in the bottom end or otherwise of the last cavity
or chamber, where the heat combines with the atmospheric air admitted through
the aforesaid perforations, after which they pass away through a suitable perforated
top or casing on the outer shell or otherwise.
To facilitate lighting the gas a chamber and door are provided on the lower end
of the aforesaid casings.
The whole is mounted on a metallic stand with a removable or other bottom, and
'can be arranged in different forms to suit the various requirements to which gas
stoves can be applied, being if desired provided with Ovens, Grills, and other
equivalents.

I CHARLES PARTINGTON of 405 Halliwell Road, Bolton in the County of
Lancaster, Bleacher, do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS STOVES," and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to improvements in the construction of gas stoves and
consists in forming an outer metallic shell of suitable. form provided internally with
one or more inner metallic casings disposed to leave a cavity between each.
To admit atmospheric air and to aid combustion, the whole is mounted on a
-metallic stand or bottom with suitable preparations, the admission being regulated
by a swivelling or other damper.
:
Under the centre casing are fixed a convenient number of atmospheric burners
supplied with gas by any convenient means.
The heat from the ignited gas ascends and descends through the vertical pipes
and cavities to a suitable outlet in the bottom end or otherwise of the last cavity
or chamber, where the heat combines with the atmospheric air admitted through
the aforesaid perforations, after which they pass away through a suitable perforated
top or casing on the outer shell or otherwise.
To facilitate lighting the gas a chamber and door are provided on the lower end
of the aforesaid casings.
Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved gas stove-Fig. 2 is a part
sectional elevation with a swivelling damper to regulate the admission of atmospheric
air-Fig. 3 is a plan through line A. B in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a plan of the under-
side of the metallic stand or bottom supporting the stove.
The external metallic shell or casing C is provided internally with the casings D
.and E, leaving the cavities G and H between them. The casings are secured
together in any convenient manner and mounted on the metallic stand or bottom I
.provided with the openings J to admit atmospheric air into the cavity H leading
to the outlet through the perforated loose plate K mounted on the top of the stove.
Under the casing E is fixed the atmospheric burner L mounted on the gas pipe M
supported by the crossbar N to the bottom I as in Fig. 3. Atmospheric burners of
any suitable kind may be employed in lieu of the one shewn on the drawings. The
gas pipe M extends to the outside of the bottom I at which point is attached the
gas tap O provided with the reduced outlet nozzle P. Immediately below, or in
close proximity to, the nozzle P the pipe M is provided with the opening or slot R
to admit atmospheric air with gas to the atmospheric burner L.
The heat from the ignited gas ascends the centre casing E, passes down the
cavity G, through the perforations a, and up the cavity H, where it combines with
the atmospheric air admitted through the openings J, after which they pass away
through the perforated top or loose plate K into the chamber being heated.
If desired the perforations in the loose plate K can be dispensed with when the
outlet is through the tube T into a flue or chimney. The tube T is provided with
the damper V to regulate the outlet or close the same when not in use.

page_text: The amount of atmospheric air can be regulated to the greatest nicety by means
of the swivel damper W mounted on the underside of the perforated flange Z,
being operated by the handle Y extending through a suitable hole or slot to the
outside of the bottom I. The damper W is provided with the openings J corre-
sponding to those on the top side of the flange Z.
To facilitate lighting the gas the chamber F and door F are provided, the latter
being fitted with horn or other transparent material to shew when the gas is
burning.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said'
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is -
The construction of gas stoves substantially as herein described and illustrated
by the drawings.
