IMPROVEMENT IN BASE-BURNING STQVES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 120,811, dated November 14, 1871.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM DOYLE, of AAlbany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements, new and useful, in Base-Burning Stoves, for Tailors7 and Platters use, of which thefollowing is a specification The rst part of my invention relates to the interposition of a detachable solid plate across the upper section or combustion-chamber of a baseburning stove in such a manner as to form an additional heating-chamber for tailors7 and hatters use, as will be hereinafter more fully eX- plained. The second part of my invention relates to the combination of the subject of the iirst part of my invention with a base-burning stove having a peculiar arrangement of iiues in the base of the same. The third part of my invention relates to the arrangement and combination of a revolving shelf with the reservoir of abase-burning stove, and within an auxiliary heating-chamber surrounding the same. The fourth part of my invention relates to the combination of a series of perforated or open-work shelves within the combustion chamber of a base-burning stove, in combination with one or more doors in the upper section of the stove. The fifth part of my invention relates to a peculiar construction of open work or lattice shelves, thereby adapting them to tailors7 use.

In the accompanying drawing, FigureV 1 is a perspective view of a stove embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the flues in the base of the stove. Fig. '3 vis a central vertical section of Fig. 1 on a plane running from the front to the rear of the stove. Fig. 4 is a central vertical section taken on the plane of a line, y y, in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 isa plan of the detachable interposed solid plate of the combustion-chamber. Fig. 6 is a central vertical section of a stove having' three shelves of open or lattice-work, and sunken solid recesses for the reception of irons to be heated, the solid plate A being removed. Fig. 7 is a top view of the circular revolving shelf K.

A isa metal plate, of the shape and size of combustion-chamber C, made in two parts, and surrounding the reservoir B when in its place in the stove. Said interposed plate A when in the stove cuts off all the upward passage of the products of combustion, and thus forms anauxiliary heating-chamber, F, above it. Plate A is constructed of two or more pieces, so that it can easily be removed Whenever necessary. It is also solid or witho ut p erforations,fltting closely around reservoir B, its outer edge resting upon ring I, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. B is a fuel reservoir suspended from the top plate L. lt has projections a a and b upon its outer surface, for the support of shelves J and K and plate A, as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 6. C is the combustionchamber of the stove, extending from the lire-pot H to the top plate L, except when intercepted by solid plate A, as shown in Figs.

4Sand 4. The direct draught or cross-pipe X is placed near the top of the middle or illuminated section of the stove. D D are descending draught-flues connecting the combustion-chamber C with the double-base N of the stove. Here the two front lues D D merge into one iiue, P, and the two back flues D D connect with side base lines R R, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. At the back part of the ash-pit S the eXit-iiue T is carried inward, so as .to connect with the base flues, as shown in Fig. 3. P is the extension-flue, which is formed'by fluestrips' y y extending beyond the ends ofiiuestrips @c w so as to carry'iiue P into exit-flue E of the base for the purpose of insuring a steady draught through front descending-hues D D, and consequently to aid greatly the burning of the fire and the diffusion of heat therefrom. The

that a perforated shelf, J, may then be put near the bottom of the reservoir, close to the re, as shown in Fig. 6.

Shelves K and' J are not only perforated or made of lattice or open-work, but they are also constructed with sunken recesses of solid iron of the shape and size of tailors7 irons. Said recesses g g will protect the face of the irons from the direct and destructive action of the carbonicacid gas evolved during the burning of the iire. Solid -places g g need not necessarily be sunken. They may, instead, be surrounded with a low rim to keep the irons in place.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The nterposition of e detachable solid platte, A, Within the combustion-chamber of a, base-burning or fuel-reservoir stove, in combination with open or aytti'eework shelves K or J, as and for the purpose herein shown.

2. The combination and arrangement of de til-@hable solid plate A with fuel-reservoir B, and one or more doors r r or s in a baseburning stove, having fines D D and Dl D', and an eX- teusion-ne, P, in the manner and for the purpose herein described.

3. The combination. of revolving shelf K with
