Improvements in Painters' "Burning Off" Stoves.
1, CHARLES CREDLAND of Queen Street, City of Sheffield, Varnish Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention of improvements in "burning off" stoves for painters use has for
its object to reduce the weight of these articles, to furnish them with removable
fire bars, and to otherwise improve them.
I
propose to construct the improved stove as follows: I make the body prefer-
ably of rectangular form, and of sheet metal.
At a little distance from and parallel with the back I support a sheet of asbestos
of a corresponding size, at the back of which is the handle by which the stove is
carried. The asbestos is to protect the hand from the heat of the stove, and is used
as a substitute for the heavier plate or plates of metal hitherto used.
The front bars which are preferably arranged vertically and their surrounding
frame are preferably made in one piece which slides vertically in grooves so that
for cleaning out the stove, the grate can be withdrawn; or when burnt away, a
new one can be readily substituted.
The top of the stove is inade in the form of a lid which can be raised upon its
hinge to enable the grate to be inserted and withdrawn.
The top and bottom parts of the stove are perforated.

Improvements.in Painters' "Burning Off" Stoves.
I CHARLES CREDLAND of Queen Street in the City of Sheffield Varnish
Manufacturer 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 objects of this invention are to reduce the weight of "burning off" stoves
for the use of painters to furnish such stoves with removable fire bars and to
otherwise improve them. Now according to this invention I construct my
improved stoves as follows.
I make the body of any convenient size shape and material preferably of sheet
metal and rectangular in form.
At a little distance from and parallel to the back of the stove I secure a sheet
of asbestos millboard or other suitable non-conducting material of the same size as
the back of the stove to prevent the heat from the stove from burning the hands
of the user and to this sheet I secure the handle by which the stove is carried.
The front bars and their surrounding frame are preferably vertical and slide in
vertical grooves so as to enable the said bars to be removed for cleaning purposes
and to enable the said bars to be renewed when burnt away. The top and bottom
of the stove are perforated the top thereof being hinged to the back of the stove
to enable the front bars to be inserted and withdrawn.

page_text: And in order that my said invention may be fully understood I will proceed
to explain the same with reference to the accompanying sheet of drawings
in which
Fig. 1 represents front view of a "burning off" stove for painters' use constructed
according to this invention.
Fig. 2 represents section of same.
Fig. 3 is plan of same partly in section.
The same letters denote the same parts in all the figures.
a is the body of the stove composed of sheet steel or other suitable material.
bis the lid thereof perforated as shewn at Fig. 3.
The lid is hinged at c to the body a to enable the stove to be filled with fuel
and to allow the front bars to be removed for cleaning purposes and for renewal
when burnt out.
The front bars d are preferably made in one piece with the frame fas shewn at
Fig. 2 or they may be made separate therefrom as shewn at Fig. 3. If the bars
are made integral with the frame I prefer to cast the said bars and frame in
malleable iron or steel. If the bars and frame are made separately I prefer to
cast the frame in malleable iron and to secure wrought iron bars therein by
rivetting. Or the bars and frame may be made in wrought iron steel or other
suitable material. The frame f slides in grooves formed by flanging inwards the
sides of the stove and rivetting or otherwise securing a piece of L shaped sheet
metal to each side of the stove.
g
The bottom of the stove is perforated as
shewn at Fig. 3.
kis a sheet of asbestos millboard or other suitable non-conducting material
preferably having a backing of sheet metal or being enclosed in a metal frame to
prevent it from buckling. This sheet of non-conducting material is secured to the
back of the stove by rivets asbestos or other non-conducting washers m being
interposed between the sheet k and the back as shewn at Fig. 3. I prefer to
make the sheet k as follows viz. I take a piece of ti plate or other suitable sheet
metal slightly larger than the piece of non-conducting material it is intended to
support and bend the edges of the sheet metal over the edges of the non-conducting
material n is a handle preferably of wood secured to brackets oo attached to the
compound sheet k as shewn at Fig. 3.
66
Burning off" stoves constructed as hereinbefore described will be found to
possess the following advantages over those at present in use. 1st Lightness.
2nd A removable grate with vertical bars enabling the charcoal to be stirred up
from the bottom and the lamp to be easily cleaned. 3rd Grate when worn out
or broken can be replaced at a small cost.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A "burning off" stove for painters' use having removable front bars or grate
for the purposes stated.
2. In a 66
burning off" stove for painters' use the construction and use of
removable front bars or grate d sliding in grooves at the sides of the stoves
substantially as hereinbefore specified.
3. In a "burning off" stove for painters' use the construction and use of the
guard k of asbestos millboard or other non-conducting material substantially as
hereinbefore specified and for the purpose stated.
4. The construction of "burning off" stoves for the use of painters substantially
as shewn by the accompanying drawings.
