To all whom t may concern.- p

Be it known that I, HARRY J. Hoovnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Norwood, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful llmprovements in Incinerators, of which the following is a full,

clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to incinerators -for burning garbage and the'like. Tn stoves of this character, the great difficulty is in providing for the complete quick burning up of wet matter such as garbage, and in doing so to make no odor and no undue heat in the room where it is burning.

It is the object of this invention to provide an incinerator in which the burners are protected from becoming clogged and in which there are adequate draft passages in the firepot to preventsuocation of the flame employed -in the burning.

Tt is also an object to jacket the entire body of the incinerator so that odors and heat are kept Within the body and do not escape into the room, and generally it is desired to provide a gas, garbage burning stove in which the parts are simple, durable and easily assembled.

These objects and other advantages to be noted are accomplished by that certain construction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically pointed out and claimed.

` In the drawing, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section thereof, on the lines 2, 2, of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a central vertical cross sec.- tlon of the device, on the line 3, 3, of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a horizontal section taken above the grate, on the lines 4, 4, of Fig. 2.

the grate is the door 12 in which the garbage inside walls'thereof. @ver this frame is set another frame 15, which has depending Hanges 16 at the front and rear to seat on the lframe for the grate bars. Along the side of this frame are depending toothed members 17 which form a protecting grating for the tubular gas burners 8, 8. These burners are inserted through the front of the stove and rest at' the rear in brackets 18 formed on the grate bar frame. Thus the burners which have their gas outlets 19 spaced along their entire length are to be easily assembled in the stove and are constantly protected from becoming clogged by garbage working into the holes when it is fed down on the grate. This protection is an important portion of my invention and goes a long Way to preventing a smothering of the fire during incineration. The tubu- -lar burner pipes are mounted, one on one side and one on the other of the grate, and the protecting grating extends out over the top of the burner, so that although the flame from the burner is directed out over the grate bars, still the burners are entirely underneath the extending piece of the protecting grate.

On top of the frame 15 are set slabs of tire'brick 20, 20, at the sides, and 21 at the front. At the rear of the frame 15 is an extended portion 22, which leads to a draft opening 23 in the rear of the stove body, and this extension has side teeth 24 to engage the notches 25 in the hood member 26. This hood member has a depending portion 27 at each side in which these notches are located, and which seats directly over the extended portion 22 and protects the flue opening 23 from becoming clogged with garbage. Lugs 28, 28, on the extension 22, engage on the inside of the sides 27 of the hood member, thereby holding the hood member firmly in place. On top of the hood member is then set a slab of fire clay 29, which terminates just below the upper draft opening 30 in the stove body. Directly beneath the to of the stove body is set another slab of lire lbrick"31,thereby leaving a ire pot completely protected by fire cla excepting for the space 32 opposite the eed door and Hue openings and 23 above the grate bars. Below the grate bars is athlrd Hue opening 33, 'so that there is no chance of the Hame becoming'smothered by the garbage closing up the Hue openings. The Hue opening below the grate w1ll never be clogged. The Hue o ening directly above the grate 1s protected y the hood member, and the Hue o ening near the top of the st ove body comp etes a draft system which will take care of all contingencies. These draft opemngs communicate with a rear Hue 34, mounted on the back of the stove, and a base damper 35 for the lower draft opening is mounted 4in the base of the Hue.

' Resting on side and top lugs 2 and 5"v respectively on the stove body, and covering the stove, except at the front, 1s a sheet iron v casing having sides 36, 36, a back 37 and a ses top 38. The sides are turned in at the front at 36, exposing the stove front. The top seats on lugs on the top of the stove body, and the sides and rear terminate at the top of the legs leaving a complete air space around the stove body, with a base opening therefor all the way around. At the upper reark central portion of this outer bo y is formed a large Hue 39, into which is led the pipe 343L on the Hue 34 of the stove body already mentioned. The air rushesup inside of the casing between it and the stove body, and serves to carry away all hot air and odors which may escape from the'stove body itself so as to entirely prevent their escaping into the room. This outer body also insulates the stove from the room, in view of the fact that an air space is left between the outer shell and the sheet iron body of the stove.

The various features of my new incinerator seem now apparent, and it is not believed to be necessary to describe the means adopted to connect gas to the tubular burners, as this may be done in any desired manner, the important point in the burner mounting being that the burners are inserted through apertures in the front of the stove and held on brackets at the rear 0f the grate bar frame, so that they may be readily removed without talcing the stove to pleces.

Mention has not been made of any equivalent structures which would change mechanically my device without departing from the spirit of my invention, but it is not desired by this omission to limit the scope of the claims that follow to exact structure where such is not claimed.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an incinerator, a fire pot, a plate set below said ot and carrying ate bars, tubular gas Burners held on sai plate immediately aboveit so as to lie above the supporting surface of the grate bars, and said burners adapted to project a jet of gas substantially parallel with the grate, a frame set on the plate, `and a protecting grating comprising downwardly curvin teeth extending from the sides of said rame, so as to lie over the burners, for the purpose described.

2. In an incinerator, a Hre pot, lateral grate bars below said Hre ot, gas burners at the base of the pot and agove the arbage supporting surface of said grate ars, a fire cla llning for the Hre pot, a Hue at the rear o the incinerator and outside of the lining, and openings into said Hue below the gas burners and grate bars and directly above the gas burners and grate bars.

3.
