JOHN MORRIS 13 Flinton Street Surrey Square, Old Kent Road in the County of
Surrey Plumber 1 John Morris do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
I construct a perforated metal case and fix another case similarly perforated but of
smaller dimensions within it so that the two united form a double perforated chamber
with a space between its inner and outer casing the perforations and space being
for atmospheric circulation-I fix within the interior of the chamber constructed as
before mentioned a metal rack or guides to receive a metal combustion chamber which
latter 1 construct to slide in or out of the rack or guides for the purpose of charging
it with fuel or discharging the products of combustion and I make it accessible from
the exterior of the perforated chamber in a similar manner to that of an ordinary
drawer I also fit more than one combustion chamber within the perforated chamber if
necessary In order to regulate the heat and combustion of the fuel─I form'apertures
and blanks alternately in the combustion chamber and corresponding apertures and
blanks in a draw-tube fitted to slide within it telescopically so that when the apertures
in the draw tube are opposite to the apertures in the combustion chamber the latter
are open and can be wholly or partially closed by the blanks of the draw-tube upon
shifting the position of saine :-or, I construct and fit the combustion chamber with
draught shutters to open or close the apertures and by either of the foregoing
arrangements the apertures in the combustion chamber can be fully or partially
opened for the purpose of regulating the combustion of the fuel or closed altogether
in order to extinguish it consequently the draught necessary and heat required can be
regulated at pleasure.

I JOHN MORRIS of 13 Flinton Street Surrey Square, Old Kent Road S.E. in the
County of Surrey, Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
"APPARATUS FOR WARMING RAILWAY AND OTHER CARRIAGES FOR WARMING AND
AIRING BEDS AND APARTMENTS AND FOR USE AS FOOT WARMERS" and in what
manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
I construct a perforated metal case and fix another case similarly perforated but of
smaller dimensions within it so that the two united form a double perforated chamber
with a space between its inner and outer casing or jacket-the perforations and space
being for atmospheric circulation.
1 fix within the interior of the chamber constructed as before mentioned a metal
rack or guides to receive a metal combustion chamber which latter I construct to slide
in or out of the rack or guides for the purpose of charging it with fuel or
discharging the products of combustion and make it accessible from the exterior
of the perforated chamber in a similar manner to that of an ordinary drawer
I also fit more than one combustion chamber within the perforated chamber if
necessary.
In order to regulate the heat and combustion of the fuel I form apertures and
blanks alternately in the combustion chamber, and corresponding apertures and blanks
in one or more shutters or dampers fitted to slide within it telescopically so that when
the apertures in the shutter or damper are opposite to the apertures in the combustion
chamber the latter are open and can be wholly or partially closed by the blanks of
the shutter or damper upon shifting the position of same or I construct and fit the
combustion chamber with hinged draught shutters or dampers to open or close the
apertures and by either of the foregoing arrangements the apertures in the combustion
chamber can be fully or partially opened for the purpose of regulating the combustion
of the fuel or closed altogether in order to extinguish it consequently the draught
necessary and heat required can be regulated at pleasure. By the aid of the
accompanying drawings I will proceed to describe the apparatus the same letters
of reference being used for corresponding parts in the various figures views
and details.
Figure 1 represents a side view of the apparatus of which A is the outer perforated
metal case or jacket curtailed in order to show the position of the inner perforated
metal case B which latter is also curtailed in order to show the position of the
combustion chamber contained within it-Figure 2 represents an end view of the
apparatus partly in section Figures 3 and 3 a respectively represent the top and side
views of the combustion chamber C (partly in section) with the sliding shutter
or damper D half closed-G. G. are the fuel rests and the projections F. F.
along the sides of the combustion chamber slide in the guides E. E. (see E. E.
figures 1 and 2).

page_text: I do not confine myself to perforating the outer metal case or jacket of the double
chamber in the manner described and represented in the accompanying drawings
since when required I make it without any perforations or openings whatever with
the exception of an aperture to admit of the necessary draught and another to act as
a flue to carry off the gases etc: arising from the fuel during the progress of its
combustion within the combustion chamber neither do I confine myself to the use of
a double chamber as described since for many purposes a single outer caseing is
sufficient whether the same is perforated or unperforated.
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 The combustion chamber substantially as described and represented.
2 The combustion chamber in combination with and contained within a single or
double outer chamber perforated or unperforated substantially as described.
