Improvements in Gas and similar Stoves.
We, THOMAS FLETCHER, of Thynne Street, Warrington, Manufacturer of Gas
Apparatus, WILLIAM RUSSELL, of Scotia Foundry, Pendleton, Iron Founder, and
FLETCHER RUSSELL AND COMPANY, LIMITED, of Thynne Street, Warrington,
Manufacturers of Gas Apparatus and Iron Founders, all in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to that class of gas and similar stoves in which the
appearance of glowing or incandescence is given to imitation fuel.
A stove constructed to embody these improvements is provided with a screen,

wall or other part formed to resemble some suitable fuel such as coal.
screen or the like may be perforated or reticulated or it may be built up of
roughly shaped asbestos or fireclay balls supported between bars or in a net.
Arranged within the stove in such a manner as to be ordinarily invisible is a
source of light such as a gas or oil flame or an electric lamp the light from which
is directed through the imitation fuel by means of a coloured reflector or
reflectors. The most suitable colour for the reflectors is red or ruby and they
may be either self coloured or faced with any suitable material or pigment. The
imitation fuel may, if desired, be similarly coloured.
By this arrangement coloured light only or chiefly coloured light passes
through the imitation fuel which thus has imparted to it the appearance of glow-
ing or incandescence.
Any suitable form of stove may be employed and the reflector or reflectors may
be arranged in any convenient manner.

We, THOMAS FLETCHER, of Thynne Street, Warrington, Manufacturer of Gas
Apparatus, WILLIAM RUSSELL, of Scotia Foundry, Pendleton, Iron Founder, and
FLETCHER RUSSELL AND COMPANY, LIMITED, of Thynne Street, Warrington,
Manufacturers of Gas Apparatus and Iron Founders, all in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, and in what manner

page_text: the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement: -
This invention relates to that class of gas and similar stoves in which the
appearance of glowing or incandescence is given to imitation fuel.
A stove constructed to embody these improvements is provided with a screen,
wall, or other analogous part constituted or formed to resemble some suitable fuel
such as coal. This screen or the like may be perforated or reticulated, or it
may be built of roughly shaped asbestos, fireclay or other suitable balls or shells,
supported between bars, in a net, or otherwise.
A source of light, such as gas flame, oil flame or an electric lamp is arranged in
the stove in such a manner as to be ordinarily invisible but so that the light
therefrom is directed through the imitation fuel by means of a coloured reflector
or by coloured reflectors. The most suitable colour for the reflectors or for the
reflecting surfaces is red or ruby, and they may either be self coloured or be faced
with any suitable coloured substance or with pigment. The imitation fuel may,
if desired, be similarly coloured.
By this arrangement, coloured light only, or chiefly coloured light passes
through the imitation fuel which thus has imparted to it the appearance of glow-
ing or incandescence.
Any suitable form of stove may be employed and the reflector or reflectors or
reflecting surface or surfaces may be arranged in any suitable and convenient
manner for the purpose of this invention.
In order that our invention may be more readily understood, we have hereunto
appended a drawing which illustrates, partly in elevation and partly in vertical
section, one form of stove in which these improvements are embodied.
In this drawing, A is the body of the stove which may have any convenient cr
suitable form. B is the grate, net or other enclosure which contains the simulated
fuel C. This imitation fuel may, as hereinbefore described, consist of roughly
shaped balls or shells as shewn, or it may be otherwise so constituted that the
aggregate permits the passage or partial passage of light. D is the burner,
which may be substituted by a lamp, and is so arranged as ordinarily to be invisible
from the front of the stove, although it may be arranged to occupy any other
suitable position. E indicates the reflecting surface which, in the example illus-
trated, is formed by or upon the inner wall of the stove body. It may be either
self-coloured, enamelled or painted ruby or red.
It will of course be understood that any suitable equivalent coloured reflector
or reflectors may be employed.
The desired effect may be increased if the constituent parts of the imitation
fuel be also coloured."
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. An oil or gas stove provided with a source of light, a wall or screen of
imitation fuel through which light can pass, and a reflecting surface or surfaces,
constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose herein before
described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawing.
2. An oil or gas stove constructed and arranged substantially as hereinbefore
described, for the purpose set forth, and as indicated by the accompanying
drawing.
