Letters Patent No. 110,282, dated December 20, 1870.

lMPROVEME-NT IN COOKING-STGVES.

The Schedule referred to ln these Letters Patent and maldng part of the lame.

lowing, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a full and exact specification.

The first part of our invention consists in a. removable hearth, convenient in shipping, with air-chambers' beneath, to prevent its becoming heated.

The second part of our invention relates to a waterfront, with a pipe leading tc it, and the arrangement for the reception of the pipe or pipes in the stove.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a plan ot'a stove embodying our invention;

Figure 2 is a longitudinal section; and

Figure 3 is a cross-section of the same.

Figure 4 is a detached view of thepipes 1l, leading to the water-front c, as fully described below.

Figure 5 shows the shape and position of afiue, described below, when behind the oven.

Figure isa view of the hearth, when detached from the stove. 4

a is a removable hearth, running in grooves, so that it can be readily slippedoii' when the stove is shipped.

Under the hearth a are air-chambers b, through which, by means of the openings n n'in the plate, and o in the hearth, a free circulation of air is obtained.

By this process the hearth a is kept cool and comfortable to the touch. y

c is the water-front, placed before and forming the front part of the tire-pot.

ll d are pipes leading to the water-front c.

A pipe, d, can be placed Yupon either side of the stove, or may be taken out of the stove entirely without injuring its utility, as the holes through which the pipes d pass into the stove may be easily closed.

eeare projections, one 011 each side of the stove, f to accommodate the pipes d d.

This projection e is not prominent, and is nearly hidden by the plate or top of the stove.

g g i t' are rines.

hA h is the plate or sheet separating them.

It is the damper.

\Vhen thedamper k is closed, (it is open in iig. 2,) the heat passes down the fine y and up the flue t.

The sheet h h is so constructed that the great body of heat shall vbe near the jambs while the smallest quantity of heat is at the center of the oven m. This is on the principle that if the sides of the oven are well heated the center will regulate itself.

This sheet h is of the same shape, and preserves the same relation to the oven m, behind it,-that it does beneath it.

in our stove, viz:

A removable cool hearth.

Accommodation for pipes leading to the water-front wit-hout interfering with the usual internal. arrangements of the stove.

Having thus fully described our invention,

lV hat we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The arrangement ofthe removable hearth a with the air-chalnbers b, as and for the purposes hereinbefore set forth.

2. The projections ce, for the purpose of accommostantially as described.

Thus it will be seen that we have gained two points dating the pipes l l leading to the water-front c, sub-
