IMPROVEMENT IN COOKING-STOVES.

Specification formingvpart of Letters Patent No. 110.230, dated December 20, 1870.

To all whom it may confiera:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HAILES, of the city and county of Albany and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Boiler Attachment for Cookin g-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l, Plate 1, is a sectional view of a cookstove, showing the improved boiler attachment. Fig. 2, Plate 1, is a top view of the stove andv boiler attachment of Fig. l. Fig. 3, Plate 1, is a front view of a boiler detached from a stove. Fig. 4, Plate 2, is a section taken vertically through the boiler. Figs. 5 and 6 show a modication of the attachment.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts in the several figures.

This invention relates to certain improve` ments on the construction of boiler attachments to cook-stoves, wherein the products of combustion pass off through the boiler, whether there be a direct or indirect draft.

The nature of myinvention and improvements consists, first, in a reservoir for cookstoves, wherein a smoke-flue passes vertically through it, one wall or side of which constitutes one of the walls of the reservoir, in combination with a concave bracket or shelf, which is formed on the back wall of the stove, and

which constitutes the entire horizontal outletflue of the stove, as will be hereinafter explained; second, in a rim or upper flange,

which is cast separate from the reservoir, and adapted to serve as a means for attaching the reservoir to the stove at its upper end, and also as a skirting for retaining heat about the upper wall of the reservoir, as will be hereiny after explained 5 third, in constructing the bridge or fixed cover of the reservoir with oblique edges, to which the principal covers are hinged, whereby nearly the entire supercial area of the top of the reservoir can be exposed, to allow free access to the interior thereof, as will be hereinafter explained.

To enable others skilled in the art to understand my invention, I will explain its construction aud operation.

vIn the accompanying drawing, Figs. 1 and 2, A represents a well-known form of singleoven cook stove, having a central Hue, a, arranged between the two side flues b b, and with a damper, D, which, when shut, will cause the products to take an indirect course through the due-spaces of the stove before passing off. When damper D is open the products take the shortest course to the exit-passage.

Through the back wall of this stove is an exit-Hue, G, which is in common with the direct and in direct draft, and which is arranged below the level of that portion of the iue a which is between the top plate of the oven and the top plate ofthe body of the stove. Beneath this opening G, and external to the stove, is a concave bracket or shelf, B, which is intended as a support for a water-reservoir, C, and also as an external communication between the ue a of the stove and a vertical iiue, c, which passes up through the body of said reservoir C. The reservoir C is adapted to fit snugly against the back wall of the stove, and to rest upon the bracket or shelf B, to which it is fitted by means of a flange, p, cast on the bottom of the reservoir.

Through the body of the reservoir passes a Hue, c, which forms a communication between the exit-opening Gr of the stove and the chimney-iiue. This iiue c is an integral part of the reservoir, and is constructed with it in such manner that part of this flue forms part of that wall of the reservoir which impinges against the back plate of' the stove; or, as in Fig. 5, hereinafter to be described, the back plate of the stove forms part of the wall of the ilue c.

The objects of thus constructing the iiue c will be hereinafter explained.

Surrounding the upper edge of the reservoir is a flange, rim, or skirtin g, d, the front portion of which rests upon the top plate of the stove, and is connected thereto by studs e, which are cast on the ilange d, and which extend down from offsets f and enter holes made through the said top plate. In this manner the reservoir is secured to the stove above the bracket or shelf B without the aid of nuts and bolts.

The rim d forms a skirting for the top of the boiler, and extends below the upper edge thereof; and with this rim or skirting is cast a bridge, g', which tapers backward, and

which has an opening through it, surrounded by a pipe-collar, to receive the stove-pipe flue c, so as to preserve the continuity of flue. The bridge-wall g is tapered backward, and has hinged to it the covers g g, which are at their hinged edges also beveled, as shown in Fig. 2. By this means nearly the entire area of the top opening of the boiler will be exposed when the covers g g are raised, thereby affording better access to the interior of the reservoir than is afforded where the hinges and the edges of the top bridges of reservoirs are parallel or in line with the length ofthe stoves.

In Figs. 5 and 6 the front -portion of the iiue c is open from its lower end to a point which is on a level with the top plate of the stove, and this lue receives the wings or beveled ribs m m, which are cast or otherwise applied to the back wall ofthe stove. This formsa kind of dovetail attachment of the reservoir to the stove above the supporting-bracket or ueshelf B, and is considered the equivalent of the attachment first described.

In the boiler attachment to a cooking-stove which was patented to George H. Phillips on the 2d day of February, 1869, a depressed boiler is shown, which is supported upon a concave bracket at its base, and which is attached above to the top plate of the stove by means of screw-fastenings. In this boiler attachment the ue which passes through the boiler is isolated from the side walls thereof, and passes through the central bridge of the boiler. The lower end of said iiue also forms part of the horizontal flue leading from the main iiue of the stove.

I do not claim as my invention anything which is shown in the patent of Phillips above referred to. I do not claim a depressed boiler attachment, nor a ue passing through a boiler which is applied to the back of a cook-stove; nor do I claim a concave shelf on which to support a boiler at the back of a cook-stove.

I have constructed a boiler for a cook-stove having a concave shelf, B, which has a ue passing through the boiler, one part of the wall of which flue is in direct contact with or forms part of the flue of the stove, by which means the boiler can be practically made and furnished to the market at a reasonable cost.

I construct the top of the boiler separate from the body thereof, and in such manner as to forni a skirting, which extends downward and outward, and serves to support the body of the boiler upon the top plate of the stove, to afford a firm and substantial attachment of the boiler to the stove, and also to arrest the heat rising from the boiler externally. This rim, flange, or skirting is constructed with the tapered bridge g', and also with the pipe-collar, to receive the upper end of iiue o and the external stove-pipe.

I desire to be understood by the words depressed reservoir 7 a reservoir which is wholly or partially arranged below the top plate of the stove.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The depressed water-reservoir C, having a vertical tlue arranged in direct relation to the back wall of the stove, and with the concave shelf B, in combination with the rim or skirting d and studs f, substantially as described.

2. The rim d, made of one piece in the forrn of a skirting, with a bridge, g', and with pipecollar, in combination with a depressed reservoir, C, and vertical tlue c, as shown and described.

3. The bridge g of flange d, when it is tapei-ed on opposite sides of its pipe-collar, as described, for the purpose set forth.

VILLIAM HAILES.
