I, ROBERT JAMES WHITE, 156A Blackstock Rd. Finsbury Park, London, N.
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
BLOWERS FOR DOMESTIC FIRE-PLACES to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to simplify and cheapen the means of over-coming
any down draughts in chimneys, or giving a draught when there is none to any
chimney that can be swept, by creating a vacuum in the chimney, hastening the
lighting of fires and preventing the smoke coming out into the room when the fire
is first lighted, by quickening the draught.
For register stoves, it is of lobster cowl shape and works in the draught orifice
of the stove like the vizard of a suit of mail each lobster shell telescoping one
under the other in the draught orifice when not required, making no difference to
the appearance of the stove except a slight additional ornament.
When drawn down over the fire it presents the appearance of a lobster cowl
with its back to the room and not coming far out into the stove, the heat goes
straight up the chimney causing a vacuum which counter-acts the effects of almost
any gale.
For canopy or square flued stoves they are made three or four sided as required.
For kitchen stoves where the flues are directly over the fire they are made round
and telescope up and down to within any distance of the fire.
Suitable fastenings &c. is fitted to them for convenience of fitting and fixing or
removing.
They can be moulded or made of any suitable metal, or asbestos, (folding like a
lady's dress improver instead of telescoping) with or to fit any stove.

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 object of this invention is to simplify and cheapen the means of over-coming
down, draughts in chimneys or giving an up draught when there is none to any
chimney that can be swept, by creating a vacuum in the chimney, hastening
the lighting of fires, and preventing, the smoke coming out into the room when the
fire is first lighted by quickening the draught.
For register stoves it is mostly of lobster cowl shape and works in the draught
orifice of the stove like the vizard of a suit of mail, each lobster shell telescoping
one under the other in the draught orifice when not required, making no difference
to the appearance of the stove except a slight additonal ornament. When drawn
down over the fire it presents, the appearance of a lobster cowl with its back to the
room and not coming far out into: the stove the heat goes straight up the chimney
causing a vacuum which counter-acts the effects of almost any gale.
For canopy or square flued stoves, they are made three or four sided as rquired
and fixed in place of the canopy so that it can be raised or lowered as desired.
For kitchen stoves when the flues are directly over the stove or fire they are
made round or square to telescope up or down within any distance of the fire,
ready made ones with suitable fastenings can be made to fit, any fixed stove
without any difficulty.
They are to be cast moulded or made of any suitable, metal, (or asbestos to fold
like a ldy's dress improver instead of telescoping) to fit all stoves all sizes and all
shapes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is-
is +
1st. A blower made, cast, moulded, of Iron steel copper or any other suitable
metal or asbestos, substancially as herein-before described.
