ELEVATED OVEN.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES C. KENNEDY, of the city of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in the Construction of the Elevated Oven Used with Cooking-Stoves; and I declare the following specification, with the drawings hereto attached as part of the same, to be a full and perfect description thereof.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cooking stove with the elevated oven attached. F ig. 2 represents a front view of the oven, the front plate, and the top plate being removed to show the interior construction and arrangement of theflues.

Similar letters in both figures refer to the same parts of the ovens.

The letters S, S, S, S show the stove and A, A, A, A, the oven. It is well known that in the usual construction of elevated ovens the heat, smoke, &c., from the furnace pass between the shell or outer plates of the oven front and rear of the oven proper, and meet over its top, where they pass oit through the smoke pipe; the oven doors being situated at each end of the st-ructure.

My proposed improvement consists in placing within the shell or outward plates A A A A two distinct ovens X X, whose doors B, B, shall open through theback, or front plates or through both, the ovens being so placed as to leave tlues C, D, one at each end of the shell between it and one of the ovens also a space or flue E I between the ovens and a space or flue H between the top of the oven and the top plate T of the shell, the top plate being made in the usual form with a flue or pipe I? issuing from it. The flue C is governed by a damper J and flue D by a damper K and flue H by a damper L-these dampers being the usual heat to both the ovens when required, placing this apparatus upon the same footing with the ordinary oven, or to give a greater degree of heat to one oven than to the other when articles to be cooked at the same time require different temperatures, which cannot be done with the ordinary oven, or when the oven is not needed to send the hot air and gases directly through the center flue into the chimney, thus saving the plates 'of the ovens from the effects of the fire, whereas in the common oven the flame, &c., always passes around and heats and wears out its plates, whether needed for cooking or not.

I claim- The combination of two or more ovens in the elevated oven chamber or shell with flues for hot air between each end of the chamber and one of the ovens, also with a ue between each oven, all the flues being provided with regulating dampers foil the proper management of said oven and fiues, substantially asthe same is set forth and described in the above specification.
