page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, STEPHANI
ETIEVANT, of Church Street, Soho, in the County of Middlesex, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her present most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Seventeenth day of February, in the ninth year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Stephani Etievant, my exors, adñiors, and assigns, Her especial licence, full
power, sole privilege and authority, that I, the said Stephani Etievant, my
exors, admors, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Stephani Etiervant,
Iny exors, aduiors, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from
time to time and at all times during the term of years therein expressed, should
and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend; within England, Wales,
and the Town of Berwick upon Tweed, my Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS IN
STOVES," communicated to me from abroad; in which said Letters Patent is.
contained a proviso, that I, the said Stephani Etievant, shall cause a par-
ticular description of the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be inrolled in Her said Majesty's High Court"
of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the date
of the said in part recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference
being thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Stephani Etievant, do hereby declare the nature of the Invention communi-
cated to me, and the manner of performing the same; are fully described and
ascertained in and by the following description, reference being had to the
Drawing, and figures and letters marked thereon, that is to say :-

page_text: The Invention consists in arranging moveable stoves for cooking in such
manner that the heat from the fire is caused to act upon different parts of
the stove, by which a great economy is obtained in the consumption of fuel;
but that the Invention may be more fully understood I will proceed to
describe the Drawing.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 is a plan of the stove; Figure 2 is a front elevation; Figure 3 is
an elevation of the right side; Figure 4, an elevation of the left side of the
stove; Figure 5 is a back view; Figure 6 is a section taken through the
line C, D; and Figure 7 is a section taken through the line A, B.
I would remark that the same letters of reference are employed for the
same parts in the different Figures. A, B, are the saucepans placed on the
stove. Cis the entrance to the chimney. D is an opening through which the
steam from the boiler passes to heat the vessels with which it comes in contact.
E is the chimney. F is the oven. G is the door of the fire-place on the.
right-hand side of the stove. H is a moveable grate. I is the door in front
of the stove. J is a plate, to,which is attached two vessels, K.. L is the ash:
pit. M is a small door to an opening made for the purpose of clearing.out.
the passage under the oven. N represents a place for the fish kettle. O is:
the cock for the boiler. P is the button of the register. Q is the passage
along which the heat from the fire-place passes under and over the different-
vessels on the stove, shewn by the direction of the arrows. R is the fire-..
place. The mode of working the stove is as follows: the heat from the fire
passes first over the oven and under the other vessels, heating that and the:
other vessels, as shewn by the arrows; it then passes under the kettle or boilers,
giving off its heat to it before it passes away up the chimney.
In roasting with this stove the two front doors I are to be opened; at the
back of which is a grate, not shewn in the Drawing, and the spit on to which.
the material to be roasted is placed is affixed to the hot plate J, which carries
the pots for charcoal K..
Having thus described the Invention, and the manner of carrying it out, I
would remark that I do not confine myself to the precise details herein shewn,
so long as the character of the. Invention be retained, which consists in the:
mode of combining the parts, as shewn, the separate parts not being claimed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Stephani Etievant, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Seventeenth day of August, in the year of our Lord
One thousand eight hundred and forty-six.
STEPHANI (L.S.) ETIEVANT.
