page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I CHARLES JAMES HENDERSON of N° 6 Drumsheugh Gardens Edinburgh do
hereby declare the nature of my said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS OF STOVES AND OF VENTILATING APPARATUS
CONNECTED THEREWITH to be as follows:-
The stove to be of fire clay except the front which to be of Iron, the interior
to be divided into two nearly equal parts by a division, reaching nearly to the
top, the smoke to escape by a pipe from the back, a Caseing of Tin or other polished
Metal to cover the clay, within a few inches; with an opening at top for the hot
air to escape-Cold air (preferably from outside) to be conveyed by a pipe or tube
to enter between the clay and the Caseing of Tin; and when more heat required a
Fan be employed to increase the Current of air, driven by Hydraulic power or
otherwise.

Gentleman do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
THE CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS OF STOVES AND OF VENTILATING APPARATUS
CONNECTED THEREWITH and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The fire stove, combines both in one, giving a cheerful fire, and at same time
robs the Smoke of one half its heat besides sending in fresh outside air-The body
of the Stove, to be of fireclay, preferably in the form represented in the Drawing,
except the front which to be of Iron.
The interior fireplace to be divided into two nearly equal parts, by a division,
reaching within a few inches of the interior roof D. The smoke to escape by a
Pipe from the back or by the top G through the Tin Cover A-a case of Tin or
other polished Metal to cover the whole of the fireclay-within a few inches, with,
an opening at top, for the hot air to escape. .Cold air, preferably from outside to
be conveyed by a pipe or tube, to enter at any suitable place, between the fireclay
and the Tin Case, and when more heat is required, a Fan to be employed to
increase the current of air; the influx of hot air into the Building, necessitates of
course, an outlet or outlets for the cold air therein, such outlets should be made by
pipes along the walls, at about 10 feet from the floor, discharging either into a
vent, or to outside, or by a perpendicular pipe at the corner of the Apartment-
The horizontal pipes to be slightly off the level, and to be perforated with openings
below, so as to carry off air freely or by hollow Pilasters, with openings, about
8 feet from the floor, discharging the lower vitiated air at the roof outside. The
annexed drawing will explain more fully the description.

F Stone front with hot air chamber above, of Iron.
G Smoke pipe cut through 3 inch fireclayroof and tin cover..
H Hot air exit from Tin Cover.
J Cold air entrance, there, or elsewhere.
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 3
I claim is
1st The construction and form of the Stove made of fire clay surrounded by a
Metal casing substantially as herein described and 'illustrated.
”
2nd The arrangement and combination of the stove, with the inlet and outlet
Pipes for fresh air to and from the space between the fireclay and the Metal Cover, 4
substantially as herein described and illustrated..
3d The use of a Fan with the Stove for increasing the Current of air through
the space between the metal casing and the fireclay substantially as herein described
and illustrated.
