PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Gas Stoves.
We, SAMUEL CLARK and FRED HATCHER, Stove Manufacturers, both of
Syphon Works, Park Street, Islington, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
The invention relates to improvements in that class of gas stove which is shown
and described in the Specification of Letters Patent, No. 4042 of the year 1881.
The object of our present invention is to render such description of stove
suitable, when required, for boiling and cooking purposes.
According to the present invention, we mount above the top plate of the upper
chamber of the stove, two burners, one over each of the side tubes, and we
preferably pass the gas supply tube therefor up through the syphon, tube at the
back of the stove. These extra burners are preferably of the kind known as
Bunsen burners, they are firmly secured to the top plate of the upper chamber,
and they are connected by branch pipes to the upper end of the vertical gas
supply tube before mentioned, and this latter is connected at its lower end to the
gas tube supplying the lower burner. Above the upper burners we place a plate,
which is provided with feet so shaped and fitted with respect to the top of the
upper chamber as to rest firmly and securely in position thereon. This plate is
formed with openings over the additional burners, and such openings are
provided with seats, preferably removeable, to receive boilers and other culinary
vessels.
In some cases the extra burners may be connected to the additional or loose top
plate, instead of to the top plate of the upper chamber.

The object of our present invention is to render such description of stove suitable
when required for boiling and cooking purposes.
According to the present invention we mount above the top plate of the upper
chamber of the stove, two burners, one over each of the side tubes, and we
preferably pass the gas supply tube therefor up through the syphon tube at the
back of the stove. These extra burners are preferably of the kind known as
Bunsen burners, they are firmly secured to the top plate of the upper chamber and
they are connected by branch pipes to the upper end of the vertical gas supply
tube before mentioned and this latter is connected at its lower end to the gas tube
supplying the lower burner.

page_text: Above the upper burners we place a plate which is provided with feet so shaped
and fitted with respect to the top of the upper chamber as to rest firmly and
securely in position thereon.. This plate is formed with openings over the additional
burners and such openings are provided with seats, which may be removeable, to
receive boilers and other culinary vessels.
In some cases the extra burners may be connected to the additional or loose top
plate instead of to the top plate of the upper-chamber.
And in order that our said invention may be more clearly understood and
readily carried into, effect we will proceed aided by the accompanying drawings
more fully to describe the same.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
Figure 1 is a back view partly in section. Figure 2 is a side view partly in
section, Figure 3 is a plan with part of the upper plate broken away, and
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the upper parts of a gas stove fitted with our
present improvements, and Figures 5 and 6 are respectively an edge view and an
underside view of a seat for a boiler or other vessel.
The gas stove represented in the drawing is generally of the description herein-
before referred to and is used for lighting and warming purposes and as the
construction thereof is well known it is unnecessary in the present Specification to
refer thereto in detail, but according to the present invention we mount above the
top plate a two burners b. b. one over each of the side tubes c. c and we preferably.
pass the gas supply tube d therefor up through the syphon tubo e at the back of
the stove. These extra burners bb are preferably of the kind known as Bunsen
burners, they are firmly secured to the top plate a of the upper chamber ƒ by screws
and nuts 66 or by other suitable means and they are connected by branch
pipes 6' 6' to the upper end of the vertical gas supply tube d and this latter tube
is connected at its lower end to the gas tube a supplying the lower burner k..
Above the upper burners b. b we place.a plate i which is provided with feet i² so
shaped and fitted with respect to the top of the upper chamber fas to rest firmly
and securely in position thereon. This plate i is formed with openings over the
additional, burners b. b and such openings are provided with seats j. j, which are
preferably removeable, to receive boilers and other culinary vessels. These seatsjj
are provided with feet j¹¹ to fit in the notches 1* 1ª.
In some cases the extra burners b. b. may be connected to the additional or loose
top plate i instead of to the top plate a of the upper chamber but in such case the
gas supply tubes are connected with the vertical gas supply tube d by a
flexible tube, or by other suitable means.
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 combination with stoves of the character herein referred to of extra
burners b. b and additional top plate carrying seats for culinary vessels sub-
stantially as herein shown and described.
