Abstract

13,416. Stokes, A. B. June 11. Stoves and fire-places.-A down-draught stove or fire-place is provided with a false back d so as to leave a space k between it and the back b<3> for the passage of products of combustion, and a space x is provided beneath a sliding ash-pan c for the circulation of air for cooling the stove. The front of the ash-pan c is closed, and the back b<2> of the grate is continued down below the level of the grate bottom to facilitate the consumption of smoke. The flue a<1> at the back is of the same width as the front of the grate, and the portion near the enlarged opening to the chimney is bent forwardly or rearwardly so as to prevent down-draught in the chimney. A damper e is fitted to the flue a', and the front of the stove may be provided with a blower. An inclined plate a<3> may be arranged in the chimney so as to facilitate the descent of soot into the flue a', In a portable stove, shown in Fig. 4, air is admitted to the fuel at the front only, and legs b<3> permit circulation of air beneath the stove.. A vertical baffle a<5> divides the flue a<1> into two portions, the outlet f being fitted with a stove pipe.
