JOHN G'OODFELLOW, OF T-ROY, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND R. S. GOODFELLOW, OF SAME PLACE.

Letters-Patent No. 100,138, dated February. 22, 1870.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part ofthe ssm To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, J our H. Goonrsnnow, of Troy,-in the county of Rensselae'r, and State of New- York, have invented anewan'd useful Improvement in Stoves; and I -do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art't-o make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawiu, s ibrmin'g part of this specification, in whichiljgurc 1' is a front view of a parlor-stove to which my improvements have been attached, parts being broken away to show the construction. Figure 2 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the line a: z, fig. 1. Figure 3 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the line y y, fig. 1.

Figure 4 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the'line z z, fig. '1.

Figure 5 is a detail horizontal section of the expandingfeeder, taken through the line 4; o, fig. 1.

My invention has for its object to improve .the construction of heating-stoves with respect to supplyingv them with coal and with air to support combustion, it being designed to supply the fire-box with a current of heated air, whereby combustion is facilitated and an economy of fuel effected; and v It consists in the construction of the feederahd of the draught-flue as hereinafter more fully described.

Arepreseuts the base of the stove; 4

B, the upper part or cylinder; and

G, the fire-box.

.D is the expandiug'feeder, which is made in two or moreparts or pieces, the edges of which are so formed -as to overlap each other, as shown in figs. 1 and 5.

ilhe parts or pieces of the feeder D are hooked, hinged, pivoted, or otherwise suspended from the top of the stove or from thelower end of a short feed-pipe, projecting downward from said top. I prefer to suspend the parts of the feeder D detachabl y, so that they may be conveniently detached and removed when desired or necessary. If desired, one or more of the parts of the feeder D may be made stationary, and the other parts movable. The parts of the feeder D may be pivoted otherwise than'at their upper ends,but 1 prefer the construction first described, as being simpler and more convenient; By this construction of the feeder, when the coal placed in it expands from becoming heated, the lower part of the'feeder D is expanded or forced outward, to give increased room to the coal, and s-rthat the coal will not choke up the =i'eeder, but will i-ifree to pass down to the fire-box asjit is required to support combustion.

The smoke and other products of combustion pass from the fire-boxG down the flue E,at the rear of the stove, 'to the base A, where they pass forward through the fine F, and back tirough the flue G to the pipe H, having parted witl' the greater part of their heat before entering said pipe H.

The air to support combustion passes in through an opening, I, in the front part'of the stove, above the center of the fire-box C. It then passes around the fire-box O, and down through an opening formed in or at the end of theflue-strip J, as showuin fig. 3, and back around the lower-part of the fire-box,- and down through an opening formed in or at the end of theflue-strip K, into the ash-pit, whence it passes through the grate to the fire.

The air is made to pass down through the openings in the flue-strips'J and K by vertical strips M and N, respectively, which cross the dues formed by-the said flue-strips J and K, and thus interrupt the onwardpassage of the air.

L is the gas-ring formed around theu er edgc'of the fire-hos 0, through which air may pass into the upper part of the fire-box. By enlarging the openings in the gas-ring L, so as to admit suflicieut air to support combustion, the stove maybe arranged to burn with a down draught.

The flue-strips J are so arranged as to bring the air to support the draught-in contact with the entire surface of the fire-boX O, and detain it in contact with said fire-box until it may be entirely heated. The fine-strips J may be formed solid ivith the firebox G, or they may b'emade separate'and zdetachable, as may be desired or most convenient.

The-opening in the case of thestdve through which .the air enters the dues formed by the flue-strips J may be furnished with dampers, to regulate the draught of the stove, or the said draught may be regulated by a damper placed in the. smoke-pipe.

Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Paieut- The combination of a detachable expaudingfeeder with the case and fire-box of a stove, substantially as i lerein shown and described and for the .purposeset orth.

2. The detachable expanding feeder D, constructed substantially as herein shown and described, in combination with the case or cylinder 13 and fire-box O, as and for the purpose set. forth.

3. The flue-strips J, whether placed in vertical or horizontal directions, in combination with the fire -box O and lower flue-strips or flange K, and so arranged as to receive the air to supply the draught above the central line of the fire-box, and conduct it one or more .times about said fire-box before it escapes'through openings in the lower flue-strips or flange K, into the ash-pit below the grate, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose set forth.

4. The gas-ring L, formed with an inward projection'or swell around the upper edge of the fire-box, in combination with the flue-strips J and K and with said fire-box, substantially as herein shown and described and fortbe purpose set forth.

5. The vertical strips M and N, in combination with .theflne-strips J and K and fire-box G and outer case B, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose set forth.

'6. The opening 0 formed in the fine-strip K, at the front of the fire-box O, and communicating with the ash-pit, substantially as herein shown and described and for the purpose set forth.

7. The combination of dampers placeddn the front and sides of the stove,-either or both, with the sets of line-strips J K and M N, or either of them,substantially'as herein shown and described, to regulate the draught of the stove, as set forth. 1

Thetabove specification of my invention signed by me this'9th day of November, 1869.
