Improvements in or connected with Heating Apparatus.
We, RICHMOND & Co., LIMITED, and EDMOND WALTER TYRRELL RICHMOND,
Gas Appliance Manufacturers, of Academy Street, Warrington, in the County of
Lancaster, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to heating apparatus, and more particularly to
heating stoves, in which the heating medium or fuel is gas.
According to this invention, the apparatus comprises a heating stove, and an
oven, and an oven boiling burner, in combination. The apparatus or stove will,
according to one form under this invention, comprise a base portion, and a boiling
burner inside it, with a deflector or distributor, placed over the burner, for
distributing the heat; and over the deflector, the oven is placed, and is acted upon,
equally, all over it, by the heat and gases of combustion, which have been dis-
tributed as stated. Above the oven portion there is another deflector for deflecting
the heat, and this, and the casing or body of the stove or heating apparatus, are
so arranged that the heat is deflected, and further utilized in the apparatus for
heating it; while, the deflector or distributor under the oven (which say is of cast
iron) causes the heat which has not been radiated into the room, to act upon, and
be utilized, by traversing the whole of the exterior of the oven portion.
The invention is not restricted as to the exact form or configuration of the body
or case of the apparatus; that is, while it is most conveniently made in circular
or cylindrical shape, it may be made in other suitable shapes..

page_text: Lancaster, 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:-
This invention has reference to heating apparatus, and more particularly to
heating stoves, in which the heating medium or fuel is gas.
According to this invention, the apparatus comprises a heating stove, and an
oven, and an oven burner, in combination. The apparatus or stove will, according
to one form under this invention, comprise a base portion, and a burner inside it,
with a deflector or distributor, placed over the burner, for distributing the heat;
and over the deflector, the oven is placed, and is acted upon, equally, all over it
by the heat and gases of combustion, which have been distributed as stated. Above
the oven portion, there is another deflector for deflecting the heat; and this, and
the casing or body of the stove or heating apparatus, are so arranged that the
heat is deflected and further utilized in the apparatus for heating it; while, the
deflector or distributor under the oven (which say is of cast iron) causes the heat
which has not been radiated into the room, to act upon, and be utilized, by
traversing the whole of the exterior of the oven portion.
The invention is not restricted as to the exact form or configuration of the body
or case of the apparatus; that is, while it is most conveniently made in circular
or cylindrical shape, it may be made in other suitable shapes.
The heating apparatus, the nature of which is above described, is illustrated
in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a sectional elevation, Figure 2
an outside view, and Figure 3 a cross section.
In these drawings, a is the base of the apparatus containing or supporting the
burner or burners, which in the case shewn consist of three flat flame burners b;
c is a case about the burners b, which is say of ornamental and more or less perforate
or open cast iron work, with a door c¹ in it, for gaining access to the burners.
d is the deflector or distributor above the burners b, by which the hot gases of
combustion are distributed; and directly above the plate-which may be
advantageously of cast iron and perforated-is the oven e. The oven is a closed
chamber as seen by Figures 1 and 3, extending from the front portion of the
apparatus, practically, to the back, and has flat sides. This oven e and plate
together with the other parts, are disposed within the outer case f, which say is
of sheet iron or steel, and extends from the upper edge of the casing c, to an upper
cast iron cover g.
The course of the hot gases is, first their direct ascension on to the bottom of
the plate d, by which they are nrainly deflected sideways to the openings between
the sides of the plate, part, however, of the heat passing by the apertures or
perforations in d to the space above d, and under the oven e. From the openings d
the gases flow up the spaces between the sides of the oven e and the casing f;
thence to the space or chamber h over the oven e, and under the second deflector i;
and finally out of this chamber by the openings h¹ in the side casing f.
On the casing f, in front of the oven e, there is a frame e¹, supporting an oven
door e³.
In the upper part of the apparatus, under the cover g, and over the deflector i,
there is provided a burner k, say, of the ring atmospheric type, for heating water,
and other
any purpose for which it is serviceable. Air is admitted to the chamber
in which is disposed; and an opening is provided in the cover g, above which
the articles to be heated are placed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
1. The herein described improved gas heated domestic apparatus, namely, a
heating stove, and an oven, unified in a single apparatus, substantially as set

page_text: 2. The combined gas heated stove and oven having its parts arranged, combined,
and adapted to act as shown in and set forth with reference to the drawings.
3. In apparatus of the type referred to, a deflector or distribution plate below the
oven, as and for the purposes described.
