I, WILLIAM BRANDON, trading as William Braudon & Co., of 68, Oliver Street,
Bloomsbury, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, Oil Stove Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to certain improvements in the dampers in connection
with oil stoves according to my arrangements I construct the dampers in several
different ways revolving or adjustable or made with a throw back hinge, or hinges.
The revolving method consists of using two horizontal dampers integral with each
other but the one solid and the other open or perforated these dampers are sup-
ported centrally in the connecting part between each by a vertical spindle held in
a socket attached to the stove the said spindle has recessed necks at various dis-
tances apart into which a thumb screw passing through the socket takes, so that
the dampers can be raised or lowered and adjustably secured as may be required
and either of them turned over the hole in top of stove.
Another adjustable arrangement consists in having two or more dampers work-
ing independently of each other but carried by the same support viz. a vertical
spindle or shaft retained in position by a thumb screw or other device working
through a socket on the stove by this means the dampers can be adjusted and
turned over the stove the one above the other, if desired, to receive dishes, plates
or other articles. Or another arrangement consists of making the said dampers
with throw back hinges said dampers being made single or double or treble and
supported in a similar manner to that previously described viz. by a vertical
spindle carried by socket arrangement or holder.
When a number of these dampers are employed it enables the users of the stove
to carry on several boiling or cooking operations at one and the same time or to
be used as plate racks or to keep other utensils warm or simmering at the same
time and being carried by a revolving adjustable pin or spindle as set forth for
each arrangement will prevent the necessity of placing the dampers such as
ordinarily used on the table or floor and liability to burn the fingers and the risk
of paper or other material catching fire is quite prevented.

page_text: 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 reference being had to the drawings accompanying this specification
and to the figures and letters thereon.
My invention relates to certain improvements in the dampers in connection with
oil stoves and according to my arrangements I may construct the dampers in
different ways as to the method of actual operation though in the main the general
principle involved is maintained, namely to be able to manipulate the dampers
easily and readily in the various positions that may be required. For which pur-
pose according to my invention
arrange the said dampers on the oil stove so
that they may be adjusted by a revolving or horizontal pivoting action or by a
throw back or hinged action.
An arrangement constructed according to the first method is illustrated in-
Figure 1, which represents in front elevation an oil stove shewing a side view
of my improved dampers.
Figure 2, is a plan.

"
A, 'A," A," are adjustable horizontal dampers one above the other
on each side of the oil stove "B" (two each are shewn so situated, there may, how-
ever be more as required) the said dampers work independently of each other, the
one is solid, the other open or perforated, they are supported on the stove by flange
pieces "A" projecting from said dampers the flange pieces are bored to fit over
and on to an upright spindle "C" of the supporting arm "D" on each side of
the stove.
As these dampers are able to be moved freely by pivoting on the spindle "C"
it will be readily seen that it becomes a very easy matter to turn the damper or
dampers over the hole (above the flame) in the top of the stove or in any desired
position as shewn in plan.
"E" are rests or studs upon the dampers for supporting the cooking utensil
or other article. A modification of this arrangement consists in employing two
horizontal dampers integral with each other, i.e. in a plane with each other and
connected by a neck piece "F" as shewn in Figure 3, one of these dampers may
be solid and the other perforated, in this case the vertical spindle on each side of
stove supports same in the centre at "," or instead of supporting the dampers
by either of the arrangements described-I may employ an adjustable vertical
spindle instead of a rigid one on the stove in which case I support the adjustable
spindle in a socket on each side of the stove, also the spindle has recessed necks at
various distances apart in which a thumb screw passing through the socket sup-
port takes so that the dampers can be raised or lowered and adjustably secured as
may be required and either of them turned over the hole or holes or other posi-
tions in the top of the stove.
A further modification consists in making the said dampers with throw back
hinges said dampers being made single or double or treble and so on, and pre-
ferably hinged to the body of the stove or supported in a similar manner to that
already described viz:-by a vertical spindle carried by socket arrangement so
that the dampers can be regulated and adjusted to varying heights, or the sup-
porting spindle may be a fixture on the stove. When a number of these moveable
dampers are employed by either arrangement as to manipulation above set forth,
it enables the users of the stove to carry on several boiling or cooking operations
at one and the same time, or to be used as plate racks, or to keep other utensils
warm or simmering, and the fact of the dampers being carried so that they can be
arranged in any position, will obviously prevent the necessity of placing such
dampers as ordinarily used on the table or floor and liability to burn the fingers
and the risk of paper or other material catching fire is prevented. Moreover the
dampers besides being used as such, act by my improvements with great advan-
tage as receptacles or stands for plates, dishes, &c. as set forth.
I do not wish to confine myself to the more precise details as to arrangement
herein described as I may sometimes vary the same without departing from the

page_text: essential elements of my invention, but 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: -
Firstly. In the construction of oil stoves the arrangement consisting of two or
more moveable dampers carried by a vertical supporting spindle (or spindles)
from the side (or sides) of the stove in such manner that said dampers pivot or
revolve horizontally on said spindles to allow of being turned over the top of the
stove to any required position substantially in manner as and for the purpose
herein described and illustrated.
Secondly. In the construction of oil stoves the arrangement for carrying the
dampers consisting of an adjustable vertical spindle supported by a socket on each
side of the stove said spindle having recessed necks or sinkings at various dis-
tances apart, into which necks adjustable thumb screws take passing through the
supporting socket for the purpose of adjusting and retaining same as herein
described.
Thirdly. The arrangement of two dampers integral with and in a plane with
one another and having a neck or connecting portion between the two dampers
and supported by a vertical spindle from said neck portion as herein described.
Fourthly. The arrangement of hinging the dampers to the body of the stove or
carrying the dampers by vertical spindles rigidly connected to the stoves or adjust-
ably attached thereto, said dampers being so arranged as to fold over and back
upon hinges as herein described.
