. COOKING-RANGE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 102,925, dated May 10, 1870.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, B. W. DUNKLEE, of Boston, in the county of Sufl'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and use.

ful Improvements in Ranges for Cooking and I do hereby declare that the following is afull and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists, first, in

anewand peculiar'arrangement of the boil ingplaces in relation to the fire-pot and the draft-flues; second, in the relation and arrangementof the fire-pot, boilin g-places, draft-flues, and ovens; third, in the arrangement of the draft-flues, draft-deflectors, and ovens; fourth, in combining with the hot closet of a range'a vapor and smoke passage to draw off the exhalations produced by cooking.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its constructionpand use.

' boiling-places D D, O O, and E are arranged in respect to each other and to the draft-flues D2 and O in a peculiar manner, as shown in Fig. 1. The places G and D are immediately over the fire, while D and O are so placed that they are in a direct line of draft between the fire and the draft-flues. The fifth boilingplace, E, not being in the line of draft, is warmed principally from the direct radiation from the fire. This arrangement of the boiling-places admits of great economy in the use of fuel, as itallows of four boiling places-namelyD D G and Oto be acted upon directly from the fire. If but two places are required, one-of the dampers J J may be closed and nearly the whole efi'ect of thefire be turned uponthree of the boilingfplaces. For instance, if the damper J be closed, most of the effects of the fire would be directed against the boilingplaces 0, D, and D, the productsof combustion all passing up the flue D This arrangement of the boiling-places also admits of a new and improved form for the body of the range,

so that the cook can approach it upon either side without coming in contact with the fire, thus endangering her clothes. In fact, she

may do all her work standing at the side of the range.

Each of the ovens L and L has a separate flue, connected with the fire and smoke-pipe, so that they may be both used at the same time, or duly one may be used.

As the ovens and their flue-connections are alike, it is onlynecessary to describe one.

The heated products of combustion, coming up the flue D Fig.3, circulates under the oven and up its rear side, and finally passes up in one of two interior passages between the two ovens shown in Fig. 3. It then circulates over the top of the oven, as indicated by the arrows T T, Fig. 3, around the deflector 0, into the smoke-flue N.

The deflectors 0 0, Fig. 3, are so located on the top of the oven in relation to the flues S and S and the smoke-flue N that the heated products of combustion, as they ascend the flues S-and S between the ovens, have to flow over all parts of the top of the'oven before entering the smoke-flue. The deflector H Fig. 2, partially closes the opening to the rear of the oven to prevent an undue amount of heat passing in that direction.

'M, Figs. 1 and 2, represents the hot-closet, undera part of which the flueR, Fig. 2, passes, the object of B being to provide a passage for the escape of vapors and gases generated by cooking.

R is a register, immediately under the shelf M, Figs. 1 and 2, by means of which the passage It may be closed or opened; The passage R discharges into a small passage, N", separated from the smoke-flue by a partition extending upward ashort distance, and then discharging into it. I

What I claim as my invention, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. The arrangement of the boiling-places D D, O O, and E in relation to the fire-pot P and draft-flues D 0 substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

2'. The combination and arrangement of the boiling-plaees,the draft-fines D Gfltheirdzunprange the vapor and smoke-passage R, subers J J, and the ovens L and L, substantially stantially as described, and for the purpose set as described, and for the purpose set forth. forth.

3. The arrangement of the drafbflues D 0 deflectors H ovens L L, and deflectors O O, substantially as described, and for the purpose B. WELLS DUNKLEE.
