IMPROVEMENT IN COOKlNG-STOVE S.

The Schedule referred to in these Letter: Patent and making part of the name.

the rear plate to correspond with the chamber in thereservoir or boiler, and thus. forming fines, substantially as and for the purpose hereinafter stated.

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 eonstructiomand operation, referring to the annexed drawing,in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal veitical section 'of the stove p i Figure 2 is a perspective view of the water-reser-' voir;

lhgnre 3 is an enlargedlongitudinal vertical sectionof the front end of the stove; and

-Figure 4is a front View of the stove.

A represents a stove having three flues at the back, controlledby one damper, (Z, so that the products of combustion may either pass directly up the stove-pipe or else pass down through the side fines around the stove and up through the center fine.

- The panels for the three fines in the back of the stove are cut out, leaving vertical bars between said openings, which bars have flanges c 0 turned outward, as shown in fig. 1.

B represents the water-reservoir, provided on its front side with three semicircular recesses a a, corresponding with the openings in the flncs of the stove.

On the back of the stove, at a desirable height, is a ledge, f, for the lower edge of the reservoir to rest. upon, the projections between the recesses on the reservoir fitting between the flanges c c of the corresponding bars between the openings on the stove.

'lhcseare fastened together by cement, and a flange, 4 'at the top of the reservoir, bolted to the edge of the stove-top, firmly holds the reservoir in its place.

Thus, it will be seen that the recesses a a in the reservoir form enlargements of the stove-fines, said.

enlargements, being completely filled by the products hence the heat is allowed to act more direct than I would otherwise be the case.

G represents the grate of the stove. Said grate is made L-shaped, as shown-in figs 1 and 3, and is hung on pivots or journals so that it can be dumped forward.

In front of the lower front edge of the grate are formed pockets 7) b in the front plateof the stove, said pockets extending-forward and upward for a suitablc distance. g

The grate and pockets are so arranged with relation to each other that the upper front edge of the grate, when dumped, will pass inside of the pockets, and thus the said pockets will prevent any ashes from falling on the hearth of the stove, but be deposited in the ash-pit below.

' The front of the grate may be raked at any time, and the pockets will intercept the ashes, keeping the stove always clean.

The front of the stove is divided by a vertical central bar, as shown in fig. 4, and the front of the gate must, of course, e cut out in the center to allow for the same when dumping.

; The doors!) D in the front of the stove are made concave on the inner side, so as to inclose theprojectingpockets b I). I

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Lettcrs 1atent,is-

1. The reservoir B, constructed with th ree'reccsses or ehambess a a a, and used snbstantiall y as and for the purpose set forth. i

2. In combination with said reservoir, a cookingstovc, the rear plate of which shall be provided. with spaces to correspond with chambers at rm, and in conuection therewith form flues, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
