To aZZ whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, Gnome W. Howns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dowagiac, county of Cass, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements 1n gas stoves.

'My improvements are particularly designed by me for combination fuel stoves and Ihave illustrated the same as I have embodied them in such structures. My improvements are, however, desirable for use in stoves burning only gas.

The main object of this invention is to provide a combination stove with means for effectively venting the gas oven and broiler thereof and caring for the products of combustion.

Further objects and objects relating to striictural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.

A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification in which:

Fig. I is a detail front perspective view of a structure embodying the features of my invention, the solid burning portion of the stove being omitted.

Fig. II is a fragmentary View partially in horizontal section on a line corresponding to line 2-2 of Fig. III, IV and V.

Fig. III is a fragmentary end view of the oven with the broiler removed, the flue damper being closed.

Fig. IV is a similar fragmentary view with the flue damper partially open.

Fig. V is a detail vertical section on a line corresponding to line 5-5 of Figs. II and IV.

Fig. VI is a detail vertical section on a line corresponding to line 66 of Figs. III and IV.

In the drawing similar reference charac ters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.

Referring to the drawing, 1 is the outer specification of Letters Ifatent.

casing ofthe oven and r V c a 2 the ovenproper. The walls of the outer casing are spaced from the oven, particu larly at the top, proembracing the top chamber, these vent openings being located at the front of the oven.

The flue chamber is provided with a vent opening at the rear and with a flue discharge opening 7 opening into the flue 8. This flue pot, not here illustrated.

The broiler 9 has a vent opening 10 into the flue chamber. A bafl'le or partition 11 of the flue chamber, it belng positioned between the broiler vent opening 10 and the vent openings 4 of the oven and extending rearwardly in front of the discharge opening 7 and the vent opening 10-of the flue chamber. The vent opening 10 is provided with a damper 12 pivotally supported at 13 so that it closes by gravity.

Aslide damper 14 is provided for the dis charge opening 7. This damper 14 is prov ded with an arm 15 projecting rearwardlv to engage the arm 16 on the damper 12 so that when the damper 14 is in its closed position, as shown in Fig. III, the vent damper 12 is opened. The damper 14 is provided with an operating rod 16 extending to the front of the stove and provided with ahandpiece 17. It is intended, when solid fuel is used, that the damper 14 shall be closed and that it shall be opened when the gas broiler or oven is used. However, in the event of the oven or broiler being used with the damper 1 1 closed the vent damper 12 is opened so that the broiler and gas oven are properly vented, although the products of combustion are then discharged into the room. This, however, while not desirable for continued 8 is the flue of the solid fuel fire- I use, is notseriously objectionable for occachamber, said flue chamber having a discharge opening into said flue and a v'ent opening at the rear thereof, a bafiie CllS- posed insaidfiue chamber between the vent broiler and exopenings of said oven and I s I tending rearwardly across the top of the oven and in front of the discharge and; vent openingsof the fluechamber so that the products, of combustion from said oven are compelled to pass rearwardly across the to or the oven and aroundthe rear end-of sai baflie to said flue chamber dischargeor vent -ope nings,. a damper fOl'SELld flue chamber vent pivoted to be :closedby gravity, and a slidedamper for said flue chamber discharge" provided with an arm coacting with said vent damperwhereby said vent damfper is opened when the discharge opening V 7 9136111119 is closed and vice versa.
