- STOVE ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 29, 1919.

Application filed October 26, 1917. Serial lfl'o. 198,629.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. OLSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Belview, in the county of Redwood and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stove Attachments, of which the following is a specifica- Another and equally important object of the invention is to provide a device of the character mentioned having means arranged therein whereby a direct or indirect heat may be applied to the matter placed in the same, in order that it may be cooked in various ways, such as baked, roasted, fried, etc.

It is also an object of the invention to provide a stove attachment which by slight adjustment, can be caused to serve as a highly eflicient heater.

The improvements in the details and arrangement of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings in connection with the specific description hereinafter contained, and wherein the preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose of imparting a full understanding of the same.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the improved device,

Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section therethrough, and,

Fig. 3 1s a vertical transverse section through the same.

Having more particular reference to the drawings and in connection with which like reference characters will refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views thereof, 1 represents the housing of the device in its entirety, the front portion thereof being open and provided with vertically and horizontally movable doors 2 and 3, which doors as will be noted, are hinged thereto as at 4 and are provided with suitable catches 5 whereby the same may be maintained in closed positions, thus, serving to effectively close the open front portion of said housing 1 The bottom of the housin is provided with sipaced seats 6 in whic gaseous or liquid iel burners indicated by the numeral 7 may be placed. Pivotally secured to the housing bottom at points in proximity to the several seats 6 are flame spreading devices 8, which as will be noted, have the central ortions thereof formed substantially cone i'ke in order that the flames given off by the burners will be spread in a manner to cause an indirect application of the heat to various food stuff or like material arranged in the housing. It will 'be noted in this connection, that the devices 8 may be readily swung to upright or ino erative positions, shown and when so positloned, will permit the heat given off by the burners 7 to be directly applied to the material arranged in the housing.

Arranged over the intermediate portion of the housing 1 is a horizontal partition 9 having an o ening formed therein, which opening is a apted to be closed by a hingedly mounted cover 10 conforming thereto in shape.

Foraminated racks 11 are removably arranged upon brackets 12 secured to the side walls of the housing 1 at points in proximity to the top thereof and serve as means for supporting various food stuff and like material in the same for cooking.

Arranged adjacent the rear wall of the housing 1 is a vertically disposed flue or chimney 13 having branches 14 tapped thereinto throughout its length, which branches communicate with suitable openings formed in the rear wall of the housing and have dampers 15 rotatably mounted therein. Obviously, by so engaging the flue 13 with the housing an exhaust for the combustible fumes given off by the burners and the obnoxious odors given off by foodstuffs arranged in the housing is provided.

In using the improved device as a cooking stove, certain of the dampers 15 are opened to permit the fumes to be exhausted from the housing. Should it be desired to fry the food stufl' or cook the same in a manner requiring the application of direct heat thereto, the flame spreading device 8 is moved to its upright or inoperative osition and the hinged cover 10 swung rom over the opening formed in the partition 9.
