IMPROVEMENT IN'HATING-s'rovns.

The Schedule referred to in these LettexslPatent and making part ai the same.

I, THOMAS J. CoL'Ls'rox, of Royers lf'ord, in the county of Montgomery and State of -Peunsylvauia have invented certain Improvements in StovesV for Heating and Distributing :Air to warm rooms in buildings, of which the' following is a specification.

. Nature and Objects oftlC-I'ifelltim.'

My invention relates to the application of adjustable slides,a ronnd port-ions of the outside of the lirechamber of such stoves as ,are vintended to 'supply warm air from the room in whichthey are located to the-room or rooms also which are above, in the same building, so tbat..inclosedsir-heating spacesean be produced around such portions of the outside of said stove at pleasure, thc object of my invention being to enable the occupantof the room in which the stove is located to increase or diminish at will the degree of heat in the a'ir passing up .vard through a hot-air fine,` which communicates,,through holes in its supportingring, with the rooni above.

Dcscriptionof the Accoinpauyiny Drawings. I Figure 1 is a vertical central section o f the middle portion of an illuminating parlor-stove, with the flue of the stove and its smoke-flue, and also forms the open topoi the air-heating spaces formed by the adjustable slides.

General Description.

A is thenpper part of the refcharnber, the sloping sides, a' a', of which are supported upon a ring, a", which rests upon the upper edges of the usual plates of the lower part of the fire-chamber, (not shown,) while their upper edges support thering a, upon which rests the hot-air-condueting flue, B, with the upper part, a, of the-stove, and its smoke-flue, af.

.lhe ring am has a series 0f openings, 6-6, which allow warm air from the room to pass Vfreely upward into the iiue B. i

The construction and arrangement above described are in publie use and well known, and, therefore, need not be more fully described.

C C are the adjustable slides, by means of which the inclosed air-heating spaces, previously named, can be formed at will around-the outside of that part of the lire-chamber formed by the sloping sides a a.'

tions of the upper edges of the respective slides C C,A

which are curved to correspond with the curves of the grooves, and, in the upper` side of the angeof the ring a", like grooves are cast for the reception and the motions of the lower edges of the said slides.

Theslides C C are cach made to have au inward slope, c", at their` lo\ver,parts, which sloping part of each is perforated ywith n seriesof large holes, 7-7, and each slide corresponds iu length with about one-fourth, more or less, ci' the circumference 'of that part ofthe stove atl which they are placed, (sce iig. 2,) and when closed, so as to produce the air-heating space required at the rightl and left-hand sides of the stove, their front ends, 8, are close up against a vertical 4radial plate, 9, while alike radial plate, 10, which forms the end of the cover d' of a stationary recessed hot-air space, d, at the rear side of the stove, closes the rear end of the' hot-air space produced hy the said`closed slide G.

Then the slides C C are pushed fully back, the one overlaps the other behind the cover d ofthe stationary hot-air space d, and thus opens the space previously covered by O, and allows the heat of that part of the lire-chamber to Vradiate into the room, with the exception of a small portion carried up by the draught of the due B, but when the slides are closed against their respective radial plates 9 9, the inelosed air-beating 'spaces required are produced, and prevent free radiation of heat into the room therefrom, and cause the air of tbe room to pass into the said spaces, through the series of holes 7 7, and become strongly heated therein A before it passes into the uO B.

-It will be understood, without further explanation,

'that the adjustable slides C C afford a ready, simple,

and eective means for apport-ioning the heat of the stove'between the room below and the rooxu'abo've 0f the dwelling, as occasion may require.

. Claim.

I ela-iin as my iuvention- The adjustable slides C C, in combination with the rings a" and a'", and the radial end closing plates 9 and 10, the saidrparts being arranged to operate substantially as and for Vthe purpose hereinheiore set forth,
