Divided and this application filed July 23,

1914. Serial No. 852,612.

To all who- 1t it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lnn b. OHADWICK, a citizen of the United States, resldlng at lfiast Cleveland, in the county of Cuyaproduce a stove which may be constructed principally of sheet metal, but which will be capable of withstanding the incidents of use while retaining the other advantages referred to hereinbefore.

The. invention disclosed herein is taken from my application No. 797,217, filed Oct. 25, 1913, of which this application is a division.

In the drawings forming part hereof, Figure 1 is a front elevation, and Fig.2 an end elevation, of a stove constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 3 a

' vertical sectional View, the section being stove base. I

taken on a planepassing near the front of the stove; Fig. 4 a horizontal sectional view through the lower portion of the stove 1, above the supply pipe; and Fig. 5 a detail in perspective of one of the corners, of the Describing by reference characters the various parts illustrated herein, 1 denotes a downwardly and outwardly flaring skirt which depends from a rectangular base plate the upper end of the skirt projecting above the plane of the plate and forming therewith an upwardly projecting peripheral bead 3. The lower end of the skirt is bent inwardly to form a false wire, as shown at 4. Each corner of the skirt is cut out, as shown at 5 (see Fig. 5) the recess thus formed extending from the bottom of the skirt upwardly approximately as far as the top of the bead 3. I

The base (comprising the plate 2 and skirt 1) may be supported by legs. indicated generally at 6. Theselegs are preferably of sheet metal and comprise each an angular flange 7, which is adapted to fit beneath the skirt 1, the flanges being of sufiicient length to extend beyond the recesses 5 and being of such shape as to conform to the under surface of the skirt 1 on each side of such recess. The legs are perfectly made of sheet metal and are conveniently held in place by means of angular plates 8 (preferably of sheet metal) and of sufficient extent to cover the recesses 5 and extend beyond the lateral edges thereof and of such shape as to conform to the 'outer surface of the skirt 1 on each side of said recess. These plates cover the recesses 5 and in effect, complete and form the corners of the skirt,being.of such shape and size as to fit the portions of the skirt on each side of each recess 5. The said plates form means whereby the legs may be secured in place, stove bolts 9 being used for the purpose of connecting the legs and the plates to the skirt.

The space above the base plate 2 and below the stove top plate and the oven, is divided into a plurality of compartments A, B, and C. The compartment A is shown as open at the back and is located below the oven D and contains the oil distributing receptacle and the oil dispensing receptacle; the compartment B is shown as open at the front and closed at the back, is adjacent to the compartment A and located beneath the oven D and is provided with a burner for operating the oven thereabove. The compartment C is also shown as open at the front and closed at the back. It contains thecooking burners and is located below the stove top. The particular construction whereby the various compartments are pro duced will now be described.

A pair of end panels project upwardly from opposite ends of the base plate, each panel fitting within the bead 3. The right hand end panel is shown as provided with inwardly projecting top and bottom flanges 10. Each vertical edge of this panel and one of the vertical edges of the left hand panel are provided with tubular columns 11, the metal being bent in such a way as to provide columns which are elliptical in section. the columns being open toward the interior of their respective compartments. The front lateral edge of the left hand panel formed by bending or curving the-plate outof the compartment A. This Wardly toward the end of the stove and then back for a short distance parallel to the long side of the base. This bead fits within a similarly shaped head or column 13 formed at the left hand end of a front plate 14, which front plate covers the front plate is provided with a door opening, the metal surrounding the opening being flanged inwardly, as shown at 14?. Each end panel is provided with an outwardly projected rectangular central portion 15 bounded by an outwardly projecting bead 16 and connected to the peripheral portion of the panel by inclined surfaces 17. This construction strengthens the panels (which are preferably of light sheet metal) and contributes to the ornamental appearance of the same. The left hand panel is provided with a bottom flange 10, similar to the like designated flange on the right hand panel. At its upper end however, the left hand panel as connected by stove bolts 18 with an angle flange 19 depending from the oven 20. The bottom flanges 10 are connected to the stove base, as by means of stove bolts 21, and the similarly designated top flange of the right hand panel is connected in like manner to the stove top 22, which is located aboye the burners 23 (employed for ordinary cooking purposes) and which is provided with openings for the grids 24 located above said burners. 'The top 22 is provided with a depending flange 22 extending therearound, and the openings above the burners are conveniently reinforced by bending down the metal, as indicated at 24, to form annular flanges.

25 denote a back plate the bottom whereof is supported from the base 2 by means of a flange 26 and stove bolts 27, the upper end of the plate assisting to support the top plate 22 and being connected to said plate in any convenient manner. The ends of the plate 25 are bent inwardly to form flanges. as shown at 28, the right hand flange coopcrating with the right hand end panel and the left hand edge cooperating with a vertical partition 29, which extends substantially parallel with the panels. is provided with a flange 30 by means of which it is secured to the base 2 (as by stove bolts) and is secured at its upper end to an angle flange 31 projecting downwardly from the oven 20. The front and back edges of the plate 29 are bent to give a tubular or hollow-column effect, as indicated at 31, this effect being produced in the same manner and the resultant appearance being the same as in the case of the 'tubnlar or hollow columns 11.

32 denotes a partition which extends parallel with the partition 29 and is located between the same and the left hand panel of the stove. This partition 32 is provided with flanges 33 and 34 at the top and bottom thereof by means of which. respectively, it may be secured to the base plate 2 and the bottonrof the oven 20. The partition 32 is preferably formed integral with the front plate 14, the two plates forming together an angle plate. 35 denotes the back plate, which cooperates with the plates or partitions 29 and 32 to form a compartment for the oven heating burner 39. The plate 35 may be conveniently retained in place by means of the flange 36 at the bottom thereof, which may be bolted to the base plate 2, and by means of lateral flanges 37 and 38 cooperating respectively with the partitions 32 and 29, the upper end of the plate 35 abutting against and being secured to the bottom of' the oven.

From the bottom of the distributing receptacle there projects an oil supply pipe 40, said pipe extending through the partitions 32 and 29 and the right hand panel of the stove, the right hand end of the pipe being closed by a suitable cap 41. The pipe may be supported by means of a plate -l2 carried by the partition 29 and to which the pipe is secured by means of a clamp 43 (shown in detail in my application No. 797,217 hereinbefore referred to; also by means of a bracket 41 which projects upwardly from the plate 2.

The left hand end of the pipe projects downwardly from and communicates with the bottom of cylindrical cup 45, forming the distributing receptacle, there being a rectangular d rain sink 46 having an inclined bottom 47 extending below the top of the cup 45 and communicating with said cup. The receptacle 37 is mounted in a carrier l8 which is carried by a door pivoted to the front of the compartment included between the partition 32 and the left hand panel. The details of construction whereby the receptacle is supported and swung into and out of place within its compartment form the subject matter of a divisional ap plication.

The oven 20 is described at length in my application No. 797,217, with the exception of a detail which will appear hereinafter. As illustrated hereinand in said application, the oven comprises generally a pair of walls 49 and 50 having lagging 51 therebetween, the lagging surrounding the top, sides and rear of the oven. Within the oven space proper is a lining 52 having openings 53 in the top thereof communicating with down flues 54 which communicate at their bottom, through passageways 55, with vertically extending flues 56. At their upper ends, the flues 56 communicate with a flue 57 covering the top of the oven and the lagged space between the plates 4-9 and 50. In the oven shown herein, the flue 57 is pr vided with a sheet of corrugated metal. 58, which spaces the Walls 49 and 59 thereof apart.

After passing through the flue 57, the products of combustion from the burner 39 pass through the collar 60 into a suitable outlet pipe (not shown).

The back wall of the oven is preferably formed in part by the back plate 61, which extends the full length of the stove and some distance above the top of the oven. An end plate 62, supported on top of the plate 22, extends from the rear portion of the right hand end of the stove top 22 to a height substantiall equal to that of the oven, and the upper e ge of this plate and the top of the oven are shown as connected by a warming shelf 63-. That portion of the back plate 61 which extends above the shelf 63 and above the topof the oven may be supported by means of a pair of angular brackets 64. The forward edges of the warming shelf and of the end piece 62, as well as the upper edge of the back late 61, may be stiffened and artistically nished by means of metallic binding 65. I

By the construction illustrated and de' scribed herein, it will be apparent that I have produced a stove base which, while very economical of production, possesses all of the rigidity of one wherein the depending flange 19 is" continuous, such rigidity being secured in and through the cooperating construction of the legs and the clamping plates 9. It will be evident further that I have produced a cooperating construction of stove base, side and end walls and stove top whereby the burners and the oil reservoir are inclosed and protected and this result is secured in and through the use of relatively inexpensive light sheet metal, the parts being connected and shaped in such manner as to produce an eflicient and attractive construction.

"F or convenience of distinguishing the transverse part tions one from the other, I have employed" the term panel in connection with the rectangular plates at the ends of the stove base and have referred to the intermediate plates 29 and 32 as partitions. As the parts referred to are made from plates of sheet metal, the term plate will be used as the term to de ignate these parts generically. c
