CANOPY FOR COGKING-RANGES.

To all whom itmay'co/noem.' v Y Beit known that we, JOHN AJEMIAN and KARMG SHOHLAMIAN, citizens of the EmA pire of Turkey, residing at Syracuse, in the county of Onondaga and State `of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Canopies for Cooking- Rangesof which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in canopies for cooking ranges, stoves, and the like, and has Afor its lobject to provide a novehsimple, effectiveand cheapdevice of the class for collecting and carrying off the steam, smoke, fumes and odors, arising from the cooking-vessels disposed on the top of such stoves and ranges. y

A further object is toprovide a novel and simple device of the class for attachment to gas and other cooking ranges, which may be readily and cheaply applied without requiring any alterations or changes in the ranges. And a further object is to provide means for controlling and regulating the draft between the canopy and the main stove pipe.

Thevarious features and parts of the invention will be understood from the detailed description which follows, fand by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which-V Figure 1 is a front elevation of the coniplete device, applied to a cooking stove.

Fig. 2 is a central vertical cross-section, taken on line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section, taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a sectional view, showing a plain damper instead of the rotary fan, for controlling the draft between the canopy and the stove pipe.

Similar characters of reference are assigned to corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the drawing, 2 represents the first joint of the main stove-pipe, which slips over the usual upwardly projecting smoke-vent 3 located at the back of the stove or range 4. The upper end of the joint 2 telescopes the lower end of a second joint 5, to which the back plate 6. which supports the canopy, is secured bv rivets 6.

7 represents the canopywhich droops forwardly and laterally, and its apex has an opening 8 through which the joint 5 of the stovefpipe passes, and. the canopy may be .Specification of LettersPatent.

hel-d in place by'any suitable means, but preferably is supported by its rear edges 9 being secured to the sloping top edges 10 of the back 6, by rivets 11, as shown in Fig. 1. The hollow under-side of the canopv 7, collects or receives the smoke.l steam and fumes from the cooking vessels (not shown) on the top of the stove 4. The drooping front 74 ofthe canopyis perforated at 12. and in this perforation is disposed an auxiliary pipe 13 which extends upwardly along-side and parallel to the joint 5 of the stove-pipe, to which it connects at a perforation 14. The object of the pipe 13 is to conduct the smoke, &c., from the hollow side of the canOPT nto the main stove pipe, to be carried by the latter to a chimney, along with the smoke and gases thrown off by the fire, by which the stove or range is heated. The pipe 13 at the top-end is preferably formed into an elbow 15, for convenience in attaclr ing it to the joint 5.

16 represents a rotary fan-like damper, which is disposed in the pipe 13, for controlling the draft between the canopy and the stove pipe 5. The damper 16 is mounted on a vertical shaft 17, the opposite ends of which are pointed and these pivot points are received by sockets 18 arranged in crosspieces or bridges 19, which are supported by the inner sides or walls of the pipe 13, as best seen in Fig. 2. The damper 16 is preferably light, and it is pivoted in such manner that, a slight draft from the chimney or pipe 5 causes it to rotate in the direction for drawing the smoke and steam from the cooking upwardly and forcing it into the pipe 5. The damper also serves to close, to a greater or less extent, the pipe 13, and thus prevents destruction of, or interference with the draft through the pipes 2 and 5, Epen which the range depends for its proper ring.

'Ihe canopy 7 and back 6 may be made of any suitable material, but we prefer to .'onstruct the whole out of sheet iron or steel, of suitable gage and linish to withstand wear and present a neat appearance. l/Vhen the joints of pipes 2 and 5 are properly made and joined together they will support the canopy without any other securing means.

In Fig. 4', we have shown a common plain disk damper 20, which is disposed in the pipe 13. This damperis mounted upon a Ciny shaft 21, which pierces the pipe diametrically, and is pro-vided at one end with a handle 22 for manipulating the damper.

Our invention is extremely simple, and may be produced at slight expense, and the device may also be readily and quickly applied to any of the cooking ranges or stoves in common use, by any unskilled person, and without requiring alterations or changes in the cooking devices.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, iss- 1. In an attachment for cooking stoves .and ranges, a canopy comprising a sheet metal body having forwardly and laterally drooping portions, the apex of said body being perforated, and a back plate for supporting said canopy, in combination with a stove-pipe inserted through the said perforation and secured to and supporting said back plate. Y

2. The combination with the stove pipe arranged for connection with a cooking stove or range, of a back supported by one joint of the said pipe, a canopy secured to the top edge of the back, the apex of said canopy being perforated and pierced by said joint of the pipe, and an auxiliary pipe connecting the hollow side of the canopy with the said joint of pipe.

3. The combination with a joint of stove pipe, of a backplate secured to the said pipe, a canopy having an opening in its apex through which the said pipe is inserted, said canopy supported by the top edge of said plate, an auxiliary pipe, the lower end of which pierces the said canopy,

its opposite end piercing the said stove pipe for conducting smoke, steam and the odors from cooking vessels from the canopy into the stove pipe, and means for controlling the draft through the auxiliary pipe.

In testimony whereof we affix our signatures.
