A TTEST UPTON J. DUFFIELD, OF WHEELING, 'VESI` VIRGINIA, ASSIGNOE TO WIL- LIAM C. DUFFIELD, OF SAME PLACE.

IMPROVEMENT IN CQMBINED STOVES AND BOILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l'l4,345, dated March 5, 1872.

Specification describing a new and useful Combined Stove and Boiler, invented by UP- '.roN J. DUFFIELD, of Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of West Virginia.

The invention is designed for family use, for laundry purposes, for boiling1 fruit, or as a heater merely, and is adapted to consume as little fuel as practicable. The primary obj ect is to furnish an economical apparatus for independent usefor these purposes, so as to avoid the disagreeable consequence of performing laundry work in the kitchen.

The rstove comprises a central water-heatin g jacket and two grates, a permanent one below and a removable one above. The water-heater is connected by pipes wit-h the steam-j acket of a stationary wash-boiler. A fruit-boiler may be placed above the wash-boiler, and is heated by the steam when required for cooking. A cover fits the wash-boiler or the fruit-boiler indifferently. The top of the stove may also serve for heating irons and for other purposes.

Figure l is a vertical section, showing the fruit-boiler in position on the wash-boiler. Fig. 2 is a similar section, showing` the stove as a heater.

A represents a water-heater, the fuel-chamber forming the body or central part, being surrounded by a water-heating jacket. B'is the base of the saine; and C, the top thereof; (Z d', the lids, the latter adapted to tit one in the other and separately removable. c is the fuel-door, and E, the smoke-pipe collar. D D are grates, arranged respectively in the base B and top O, the latter being removable, asindicated. The water-heater A has tubes a al the wash-boiler.

in emptying the wash-boiler. I is the fruitboiler. The cover t' lits either the wash-boiler or the fruit-boiler. When used as a clothesboiler, as represented in Fig. l, the wash-boiler F is partially lled with water, which flows into the space c2 between the walls of the heater A and its tubes al n.1. The clothes are then placed in the boiler F, and tire kindled on the lower grate D, the interior walls of the heater and the tubes al al exposing a large surface to the action of the re, and consequently heating the water with great rapidity. 'lhe upper grate D is removed when the boiler is employed for this purpose, and the fruit-boiler or its lid t' used to cover the main boiler. As thus arranged, fruit may be boiled in the said boiler I, the saine being heated by steam, while the top of the stove may be used for heating sadirous. wWhen the main boiler A is not required, fire is made in the upper grate D', the same being placed in position as represented in Fig. 2. Thetire-chamber is thus suitably contracted, the apparatus forming a heating furnace. The cover forms aheating-plate for smoothingirons and other purposes.

I am aware that stoves have been before made with jackets and pipes for heating and circulating water in a station ary wash-boiler. I do not therefore claim this combination.

I claim as my invention- The combination of the stove, composed of base B, top C, water-heater A, and stationary and removable grates D D', the pipes G- G, stationary wash-boiler F and lid 1'., with or without the fruit-boiler I, constructed and arranged substantially as shown and described, for the purposes set forth.
