We, JAMES DANIEL HANNAH 20 Victoria Street, Engineer, and WILLIAM CHARLES
CLEMENT PEELE 11 High Street. Solicitor, both in Shrewsbury do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in or relating to fire grates, stoves and the
like and the object is to so arrange and construct the fire grate, stove and the like
that cold air will enter a chamber or flue and be heated by the fire in the grate,
stove or the like and at the same time a certain amount of air will pass up a pipe or
outlet owing to the action of the draught up the chimney or flue in which said pipe
or outlet is in communication. Between the opening to the pipe or outlet aforesaid and
the heating chamber or flue a depending partition is carried so as to intercept the
current of air to be heated in order that part of the air will pass up the heating
chamber aforesaid and thence to an outlet at a suitable part of the room or space to
be heated and part of the air will pass up the pipe or outlet aforesaid; the entrance
to the pipe or outlet being lower than the entrance to the heating chamber or flue..
If desired I may employ disinfectants or scent in combination with the heated. air

In order that our invention may be fully understood, we will now refer to the
annexed drawings, in which:-
Figure 1. is a front elevation of our invention applied to an ordinary fire grate.
Figure 2. section through line x-y in Figure 1. h is the grate having the fire
bars b. c is a casing forming the back of the grate and which supports the bent flue c
having the outlet d and inlet f. a is a pipe leading into the chimney and having
the inlet g at a lower level than the inlet f. Between the inlets g and f there is a
depending partition j, g₁ being a communicating passage. e is an aperture through
which the cold air enters. The pipe a through the action of the draught in the
chimney creates an upward current of air in same and owing to the depending
partition interrupting the incoming air, part of the same will rise into the flue c and
is heated in its passage to the outlet d which may be placed at a suitable part of the
room. The smoke & products of combustion pass up the chimney in the usual
manner.
When desired we may place receptacles containing water, scent, or disinfectant in
the flue c, said receptacles being provided with adjustable wicks such as in a lamp so
that the moist surface exposed may be regulated, thus impregnating the air during
its passage through the flue.
30 Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is
The combined construction and arrangement of the various parts substantially
as described and illustrated in the annexed specification.
2. The improved construction of a stove, consisting of a casing containing a flue
which is heated by the fire, a pipe in communication with the chimney, the inlet
end of which is set at a lower level than the inlet of the flue aforesaid; a depending
partition between said inlets for the purpose of interrupting the current of air so that
part of it will pass up the flue, all in combination and substantially as described.
2. In firé grates, stoves, and the like in combination; an induction pipe in
coinmunication with the chimney for the purpose of inducing a current of air to flow
towards the heating flue and arranged so that the level of the inlet to the induction
pipe is lower than the level of the inlet to the heating flues.
