PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil and other Stoves and Kitcheners.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer and WILLIAM
BRANDON, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, do hereby declare the nature of our invention to be as
follows:-
The invention relates to improvements in seats for culinary utensils. Heretofore
the top of a stove or kitchener has been provided with one or more plain holes
which in some cases could be readily increased or reduced in size by means of
removable rings.
In this class of seat the kettle or other vessel rested either flat on the top plate
or was formed with a narrow part which passed through the hole in the seat but in
either case the heat from the stove was confined to the area of the said hole and
could not play upon the extending part of the bottom of the vessel except through
contact thereof with the top plate.
According to the present invention we form a number of projections around the
seat and we form the centre of the seat which is preferably dished, with a number
of openings and fit to the centre of the seat a regulating plate formed with
corresponding openings so that by turning the said regulating plate a greater or
less amount of heat and products of combustion can be permitted to pass through
the openings and have free access to the entire bottom of the vessel.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Oil and other Stoves and Kitcheners.
We, ELIZA RIPPINGILLE, Lamp and Stove Manufacturer, and WILLIAM
BRANDON, Foreman, both of the Aston Brook Lamp Works, Birmingham, in the
County of Warwick do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The invention relates to improvements in seats for culinary utensils.
Heretofore the top of a stove or kitchener has been provided with one or more
plain holes, which, in some cases, could be readily increased or reduced in size by
means of removable rings. In this class of seat the kettle or other vessel rested
either flat on the top plate or was formed with a narrow part or well which passed
through the hole in the seat, but in either case the heat from the stove was confined
to the area of the said hole and could not. play upon the extending part of the
bottom of the vessel except through contact thereof with the top plate.
In other cases a hole in a top plate has been surrounded with bars or projections
rising somewhat above the top plate to form a seat for culinary vessels, which
arrangement has permitted the heat to play upon the entire bottom of the culinary

passing through the seat hole.
According to our invention we form a number of projections around the seat, and
we form the centre of the seat, which is preferably dished, with a number of
openings, and fit to the centre of the seat a regulating plate formed with corre-
sponding openings, so that, by turning the said regulating plate, a greater or less
amount of heat and products of combustion be permitted to pass through the
openings and have free access to the entire bottom of the vessel.

Our invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which :-
Figure 1 is a front view of part of a stove fitted with our improved seat for
culinary vessels.
-J
Figure 2 is an edge view, Figures 3 and 4 are plans and Figure 5 is a cross
section, of the improved seat separately.
The improved seat, as represented in the drawings, consists of a circular plate a
made to fit an opening in the stove top plate, said plate a having projections a' on
the top, which may be radial as shown or may be of other form and arrangement.
The plate a is also formed with a dished centre a² provided with holes a³, and to
the centre of the part a is pinjointed a correspondingly dished plate b provided
with holes corresponding in size and position with the holes a³, and having a
handle by which said plate 6 may be turned so as to regulate the size of the
apertures through the seat and, when required, to entirely close the same.
If desired the parts a. a¹ a² may form part of the stove top plate and the parts
may be otherwise shaped without departing from the peculiar character of our
invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven.
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. A seat for culinary vessels for oil and other stoves and kitcheners constructed
substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose stated.
2. An improvement in oil and other stoves and kitcheners consisting in providing
the top thereof with a seat provided with projections and having a perforated
central part fitted with a correspondingly perforated movable plate, substantially
as herein sbown and described and for the purpose stated.
