Letters Patent No. 110,781, daad January 3, 1871.

IMPROVEMENT IN HEATING-STOVESAND DRUMS.

The Schedule referred to ln these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. NoBLEs, of St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and in the State of Minnesota,.have invented certain' new and useful Improvements in Stoves and Drums; and'do hereby declare lthat the following is a full, clear, and exact de-v Scription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

rlhe nature of my invention consistsinthe construction and arrangement of a stove and. drum, as will be hereinafter' fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled in'the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, lin which- Figure l is a longitudinal vertical section, and

Figure 2 is a plan view.

A represents the stove, which is by a partition, a, divided into two compartments, the fire-box B in front, and the air-chamber G in the rear part of 'the stove.

From the top ofthe air-chamber C hot-air pipes D D lead upward, as shown.

E is a pipe connecting the stove A with the drum G, which drum. is provided with a paitition,'b, extending from the top downward to a suitable distance from the bottom.

The pipe E leads from the upper part of the firechamber B into the drum, 'and through thefpartition b.

ltlhis pipe is provided with an opening, (l, and cutoi, H, so as to change the. course of the heat directly from the smoke-pipe I to and through the drum, and then through the smoke-pipe.

J is theI fresh-'air pipe. leading into the heated air- Y chamber C.

e is the damper in thel stove, and f j' are small doors in the drum. g The stove A is so arranged as to have the-fire in the front and the heated air-chamberin rear, separated by the partition a, which may be made of cast-iron or any other material that will endure heat.

If desirable, the air may be taken' fresh from the outside through the pipe J into the heating-chamber. C, and thence passed through the pipes D into registers for heating other rooms. p

The pipe E is made larger at the end in the stove than at the end in the drum, so that the products of combustion from the stove to the drum will havefa free passage, carrying as much heat to the drum as possible.

The cut-od or damper H is ,to be opened, while building the fire in the stove, toprevent smoking, and closed when desiredV to send the heat through the different apartments of thel drum, passing around the pipe B,.out'of the smoke-pipe I. l l

[f desired to heat anotherv drum in ,the room above, after the smoke, &c., has passed through thedrumG, then, instead of allowing it to pass out through'the smokelpipje, it `may be lmade to pass toward the stove through a drum 'or jacket surrounding thegpipe E, thus becoming reheated by Contact with the outside of said pipe. ,The smoke, 85e.,v thus `reheated is passed through suitable pipes to a drum in the room above, heating the same without condensation.

The pipe E, it will be'seen, extends through from fire-box in the stove to alittle beyond the partition b, in thev drum, for thev purpose of throwing the heat upon the front portion of the drum.

The fresh-air pipe J may be so arranged as to run along under the door, between the joists, to the outside ofthe house, thereby obtaining pure air to be heated in the hot-air chamber O, and thence to be directed to registers in other rooms.

The pipe E passes through the wall or partit-ion be.- tween two' rooms, so that the stove is in one room while'the drum is in another, and the lever h to the cutoff H is so arranged that it canbebperated and used in either room. l p

It will be seen by the 'general arrangement that the heat is allowed to pass freely from the stove through the drum and through other drums lin the house, if necessary, without condensation and dripping.

rlhe prevailing opinion has been that the use'of dampers to smother the heat was economical and a saving in fuel. Now I use no dampers'inthis arrangement, except the damper e, infront of the rire-box,l for the admission of oxygen lto support combustion.

By the usual method'` of dampening or smothering `the tire, whatever heat there is in the fuel is destroyed,

while the object of my arrangementisto give fulllatitude to theheat, and at the same time to use a sulficient quantity of oxygen to make the most off-the fuel.

It is my object, also, to make the most-of the fuel by extending more generally the heat through the house, and thereby its general distribution, thus saving a large per cent. of fuel, according to the amount of space heated. r

The small upper door f of the drum is for the purpose of cleaning the pipe E when necessary.`

An opening, g, of the same kind, may be made in may be used either with wood or coal What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- J, all constructed and arranged substantially as and ters Patent, isfor the purposes herein set forth.
