PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Gas Apparatus for Heating, Boiling, Melting, and
other Purposes.
GEORGE ARTHUR SHAW of No. 112 Brammall Lane Stockport in the County
of Chester, Chemistry Student do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
Ï
The nature and object of my invention is to obtain different degrees of heat,
concentrated or diffused, from a portable gas stove. To this end, employ any
suitable ring burner portable gas stove, raised on feet and having radiating rests
to support vessels, (containing liquids or otherwise) a regulated height above the
level of the gas flames, there being at the inlet end of the tubular handle of the
gas stove, the ordinary opening underneath, for the admission of air, which
commingles with the gas, as it passes along the tube to the perforated ring or
gauge burner, whence it issues for combustion.
I combine in the above described kind of apparatus, a vertical Bunsen burner,
which by preference occupies a central position in the ring burner, but has no
connection whatever therewith in their respective gas ways, which are entirely
separate, and may be either cast with or fitted alongside of the tubular handle of
the gas stove.
Although a separate gas supply pipe may be adapted respectively to each section
of the apparatus, I prefer to feed both parts by means of one supply pipe, and use
a three way tap, whereby either the vertical Bunsen burner may be used by itself,
or the ring burner may separately be in use, or both combined at the same time,
and the communication may be closed or regulated either from the Bunsen burner,
or the ring burner, separately or wholly, when neither is required.
Dated this 16th day of January 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Gas Apparatus for Heating, Boiling, Melting, and
other Purposes.
GEORGE ARTHUR SHAW, 112 Bramhall Lane, Stockport, in the County of
Chester, Chemistry Student 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 :-
The nature and object of my invention is to obtain different forms of heat,
concentrated or diffused, from a gas stove.
To this end, I employ any suitable ring burner gas stove, raised on feet, and
having radiating rests to support vessels (containing liquids or otherwise) a regulated
height above the level of the gas flames, there being at the inlet end of the tubular
handle of the gas stove, the ordinary opening underneath, for the admission of air,
which commingles with the gas, as it passes along the tube to the perforated ring
or gauge burner, whence it issues for combustion.
I combine in the above described kind of apparatus, a vertical Bunsen burner,
which by preference occupies a central position in the ring burner, but has no
connection whatever therewith in their respective gas ways, which are entirely
separate, and may be either cast with, or fitted alongside, the tubular handle of the
gas stove.
Although a separate gas supply pipe may be adapted respectively to each section

a three way tap, whereby either the vertical Bunsen burner may be used by itself,
or the ring burner may separately be in use, or both combined at the same time,
and the communication may be closed or regulated, either from the Bunsen burner
or the ring burner, separately or wholly, when neither is required.
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 :
The combination in one apparatus of the Bunsen gas burner with the ring gas
burner, with one source of supply.
