T0 all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known th at I, W'ILLrAM M. IiANDnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gracemont, in the county of Caddo, State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Camp- Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, suchV as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This inventionvrelates to new and useful improvements in stoves and particularly to stoves for use out of doors.

One object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved stove of this character which is especially adapted for use for camping, the stove being readily foldable into a space which is economical and convenient.

Another object is to provide a novel and improved stove having means whereby the stack can be disposed outside of a tent so that all danger from tire to the tent is done away With. Y

@ther objects and advantages will be'apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.

In the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my Iimproved stove in position within a tent, the tent being shown in section.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the stove, slightly enlarged.

Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal central sectional View through the stove, taken on the line 83 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is an end view showing the loca tion of the tire door.

Referring particularly to the accompanying drawing, A represents the main body of the stove and B represents the supplementary or addition to one end of the main body, said addition being connected to the main body in a manner to be later set forth.

The main body comprises the side walls 10 which are hinged at 11 to the top wall 12 of the stove, and the end walls 13 which are hinged to the top wall at 14. Disposed through the rear ends of the side walls, and transversely of the stove body, is a stay rod 15, a similar rod 16 being disposed transversely through the front end portions of said side walls, whereby the walls are held Specification of Letters Patent.

in proper position to form a rectangular casing. There is no bottom wall to 'the stove, the side and end walls resting on the ground, as is common in this type of stove.

Disposed through the rear portions of the side walls, inwardly of the rodl, is a second rod 17, on which is secured the upper end of a vertical transverse baiile wall 18, the said rod and upper edge of the wall being spaced from the top wall of the body A, to provide a space through which the. draft may pass to draw the products of combustion to the stack which will be later deis formed the fire door opening 19 which is closed by a door 2O hinged at one side ofV said opening. The door is provided with a latch 21 which engages with a keeper 22, on the wall 18, to hold the door in closed position.

In the rear rear wall there is Jformed a rectangular opening 23, and hinged to the lower edge of the upper wall of this opening is a top plate 24 of less width and length than the top wall of the section A, said wall or plate 24 forming the top of the extension B, which is disposed outside of the tent C, as clearly seen in Fig. 1. The section B has the side walls 25, which rest on the ground at the same level as the walls of the main portion A, while the top wall 24 is disposed a short distance below the level of the -top wall of the body A. These side walls 25 are connected to the top wall 24 "by the hinges 26, and connectedto the outer end or' the wall 24, by the hin 'e 27, is the rear end wall of the extension In the outer or rear end portion ofthe wall 24 there is formed an opening 28 on which is disposed the lower end of the smoke pipe or stack 29, said stack being formed of tapering sections, as clearly seen in the sectional view Fig. 3, so that when taken apart may be telescoped together into a compact form and occupy a space no larger than the length and diameter of one of the sections.

Secured on the wall 24 is a plate 30 of asbestos of the desired thickness, and of .a width equal to or slightly greater than that of the wall. On this asbestos plate is adapted to rest the rear wall of the tent whereby the tent is prevented from catching fire from the heat of the stove.

Particular attention is called to the fact that by this construction, the extension can be placed outside of the tent, together with the stack, thus obviatng the usual practice of cutting a hole in the top or Wall of the tent through which to extend the smoke pipe or stack. This practice results in the tent catching fire from excessively heating the smoke pipe. It is therefore necessary, in the common practice, to increase the cost of the tent by placing a metal protecting ring around the hole in the tent. In the present device, the stove is capable of use with any tent, Without any modifications to the tent, or specially constructed tent. Furthermore, the stack is disposed Wholly outside of the tent, and the Walls of the tent permitted to fall naturally to the ground, at the point through which the extension is disposed.

W'hat is claimed is:

A. camp stove adapted for use in a tent, comprising a folding main body arranged to be disposed on the ground Within the tent, a bottomless extension folclably connected to one end of the body and arranged to protrude beneath one Wall of the tent, said eX- tension being arranged to rest on the ground 2 outside of the tent and having hinged outer end and hinged side Walls, the top Wall of the extension having a stack opening remote from its foldable connection with the main body, a plate of tire-proof insulating mate- 3 rial secured on the upper face of the top Wall of the extension on Which the Wall of the tent is adapted to rest, and a vertical ba'fiie Wall pivotally mounted Within the main body and extending transverselyof the rear end thereof, said bailie Wall being arranged to rest on the ground and having its upper edge terminating in spaced relation to the top Wall of the main body.

In testimonywhereof I aiiix my signature 40 in the presence of two Witnesses.
