Description

SAMUEL D. DEARMAN, OF ROOK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA.
IMPROVEMENT IN FIRE-PLACES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 125,938, dated April 23, 1872.
re and as a radiator of heat, and which shall at the same time be simple in construction, easily applied, and durable and it consists in the construction and combination of the various parts of the re-place, as hereinafter more fully described.
A is the back plate of the fire-place, which is made of cast-iron and of suitable thickness. The upper part of the plate A is curved forward and upward to give a suitable form to the lire-place. Upon the lower part of the plate A are formed two ribs, al, which project about one and a half inch, and which are from twelve to fourteen inches long. The ribs al are designed to hold the wood forward from the plate A, and form a space through which a current of warm air may pass up to an open ing, a2, in the upper part ofthe plate A which leads into a channel passing up through the brick-work to the chimney-nues, so as to form a stron g draught in the chimney-flue, and thus prevent smoking. The opening a2 is closed by a damper, B, which should be hinged at its upper edge, and should be provided with a latch to fasten it closed when desired. The damper B being upon the forward curve of the plate A, when left unfastened will -hang open, as
shown in Fig. 2. The plate A should extend below the hearth, and should be secured in place by anchor-irons laid in the brick-work. O are the side or jamb-plates, which are also made of cast-iron, of suitable thickness and of the proper shape. The plates O are secured in place by an Chor-irons laid vin the brick-work, and should also extend below the hearth. D is a damper, made of such a size as to wholly close the throat ofthe chimney-flue, and which is hinged at its forward edge to the arch-bar of the lire-place. To the rear or free edge of the damper D is pivoted the end of a rod, E, which passes out through the iront wall ofthe chimney near the mantel, and either above or below it, so that the damper D can be conveniently opened and closed, as may be desired.
By this construction, should the chimney take re the damper D may be closed, which will entirely shut olf the draught and thus put out the fire. The damper D may also be closed in summer to allow plants or other articles to be placed in it for ornamentation.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The cast-iron back-plate A made with ribs al and an opening, a2, the cast-iron side or jamb-plates C, the damper B, and the damper D, constructed and arranged in connection with each other, substantially as herein shown and described, to adapt them to serve as a fireplace, as and for the purposes set forth.
