Application filed August 19,1915. Serial No. 46,238.

Stoves, of which the following is a specifica tion.

This invention relates to stoves, preferably of the type commonly known as heating stoves which are constructed and equipped for burning gaseous fuels.

The primary object of the present invention is to so construct. and design astove that at the point of the emission and igniting of the gaseous fuels. constantly moving current of air will be conducted from beneath and above the flame simultaneously, thereby insuring perfect combustion with the resultant economizing of operation, increase in heat radiation and the elimination of the odor which impregnates, poisons and vitiates the air. a

A further object is to construct a stove in such a manner as to create a suction through the medium of the draft arrangement which will continually draw and circulate the air to and from the point of combustiom 'thereby rarefying the air and producing a vacuum which causes the atmosphere to flow continually by its own weight and thoroughly commingle and change in all parts of the room, thereby imparting a constant onward movement or current thereto thoroughly cleansing, renovating and changing the air in the entire inclosure in which the stove is used. u

A further object is to provide a stove that will so conduct and direct the travel of the products of combustion as to permit them to escape through the chimney flue or, if desired, to divert their course so as to permit them to flow into the inclosure in which the stove is used.

Another object is to afford facilities for permitting apart of the products of combustion to escape by way of the chimney flue and at the same time permit a part to flow into the room or inclosure in which the stove is laced.

, nother object is to provide a means of ventilating or permitting the products of combustion to escape from the stove directly into the room or inclosure instead of permitting them to pass out through the chimney pipe flue; said object being accomplished when the damper of the chimney-pipe line is operated to prevent the escape of the products of combustion therethrough without in any way smothering or checking the flame or affecting the suction or drawing properties produced by the ordinary natural draft. This feature has the effect of produc ing perfect combustion, Which eliminates the disagreeable odor andprevents the atmosphere from being impregnated with poisonous gases.

A further object is to provide a heater that will consume all of the gases and prevent any part thereof from escaping within the room or the inclosure in which the stove is laced and which will perform this function the double flue system which draws from above and beneath the point of combustion of the gaseous fuel.

I attain these and other objects by con structing and assembling the elements illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in

which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a heating stove having this invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a vertical central side sectionalelevation of Fig. 1 showing in detail the assembled arrangement of the invention.

Fig. 3 is a plan View on an enlarged scale of the top of the stove with the smoke pipe removed.

Fig. 4' is a vertical section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3. v Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3, showing a bowl mounted upon the scalloped portion of the flue pipe connection.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 de- 4 hand slot 20. The bracket is used when it is lineates the body of the stove, 2 the top, 3 the legs and 4 a foraminated protecting shield which is arranged to cover the open ing 5 in the front of the stove. In the interior of the stove body, preferably adjacent to the top, deflectors 6 and 7 are provided and spaced apart, leaving the free ends overlapping each other and extending in opposite directions.

A rearwardly extending inclined curved reflector wall 8 is fastened to the inner side walls B of the reflector wall 8 leaving a chamber 9 and being spaced apart from the back wall of the stove body leaves a passageway 10 communicating with the open chamber 11 at a pre-determined point below the deflector 7 preferably in close proximity thereto.

A burner 12 is provided which extends across the front of the stove body adjacent to the top of the opening 5. The gas ajutages 13 are formed in the rear portion of the burner 12 so that the natural draft will draw the flame as shown at lettoward the rear wall of the stove body as clearly shown in Fig. 2. Upon the top 2 of the stove, a hollow member 15 is mounted which is preferably formed U shape. I

The hollow member is mounted directly over an aperture 16 which communicates with the interior of the stove body. The chamber 17 formed by the hollow member and the top of the stove, is open at the front as indicated at 18 and it is bordered by the hand bracket 19 which is provided with a desired to transport the stove from place to place. I

A scalloped pipe connection 21 is provided or made integral with the hollow member to connect the flue pipe 22 to the stove when desired, or in the event that the flue pipe 22 is not used, then to provide means of supporting a vessel for cooking purposes or the like. In Fig. 5 the vessel is indicated by the numeral 23. I The scalloped portion of the pipe connection provides escape Vents for the products of combustion. The flue pipe connection 21 communicates with the chamber 17 formed by the hollow member and through the opening 16 with the interior of the stove body.

To regulate, check and divert the products of combustion through the pipe flue; thence out through the chimney flue, or to permit the products of combustion to pass through the chamber 17 and flow into the room or inclosure in which the stove is placed, a damper 24 is slidably mounted upon the lug ways 25 and 26 and is adapted by hand manipulation to close the passage 27 through which the products of combus 'tion pass into the chimney flue or to open the passage and permit the products of combustion to pass out of the chamber 17 into the room or inclosure surrounding the stove, if desired.

The handle 28 can be manipulated to slide the damper to the position shown in Fig. 5, thereby opening a passageway from the interior of the stove body directly through the chimney flue into the atmosphere.

Attention is called to the fact that air is admitted from beneath the heater into the chamber 9 and it then passes through the passageway 10 commingling with the air in the chamber 11 which is admitted over the top of the burner 12. The gaseous fuel, when ignited, draws'the air from beneath and above the burner simultaneously, thereby producing a circulating current of air which accomplishes the desideratum of perfect combustion and the resultant elimination of the odor prevents the impregnation and vitiation of the air which surrounds the heater with poisonous and disagreeable gases.

The products of combustion from 'the burner are conducted out above the passageway 10 around the free ends and spaces between the deflectors into the room or out through the chimney flue ifdesired, the arrangement of the deflectors forcing the products of combustion to travel in a tortuous path by means of which they cover a larger area of the interior of the stove body giving forth more heat radiation than if they were permitted to escape in a direct line out through the chimney flue. Reference letter A represents the gas supply pipe and reference letter C represents a valve cock;

What is claimed is:

1. In a heating apparatus, a body including a front wall formed with an opening, a rear wall, and a top, a curved deflector extending from the front wall adjacent the lower edge of the open end inclining upwardly and rearwardly within the body and terminating in spaced relation to the rear wall, the upper edge of the deflector being approximately in line with the upper edge of the front wall opening, a burner arranged within the body in approximate alinement with the upper edges of the deflector and the front wall opening, and adjacent the front wall, a baifle plate secured to the front wall immediately above the opening and extending transversely the body with its rear wall exceeding the minimum distance between the rear wall and curved deflector, said burner being formed to direct the flame therefrom toward the space intermediate'the free ends of the curved deflector and baflie plate but at an angle to the rear wall, whereby air currents are directed through the front wall opening above and below the burner and between the deflector of the body and being in communication with the body and with the atmosphere, said member having a passage in parallelism with the top of the body, with the passage opening to the body and having an outlet beyond the body, and a damper in the memher to control the atmospheric communication of the body.

2. In a heating apparatus, a body having an open front, annpwardly and rearwardly curved deflector arranged in the body and coextensive in height with the opening in the front, a burner arranged in line with the upper edge of the deflector and the upper edge of the open front, an opening in the body above and to the rear of the burner,

a hollow member independently secured to the top of the body and having an outlet in line with the opening of the top of the body and an outlet passage arranged in parallelism with the top of the body, said outlet passage being in open communication with the opening at the top of the body, and a damper mounted in said member to control communication between said passage and the opening from the hollow member.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
