FIREPLAOE.

Toall whom it may camera:

Be it known that I, OWEN TAYLOR, a Citizen of the United States, residing at Huntington, in the county of Cabell and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fireplaces, and

I do hereby declare the following to be a4 ful1,-clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to fire places and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed. An object of the invention is to provide a fire placeof simple structure having means for permitting air to circulate about the walls of the heatin chamberthereof whereby the air may be eated to a maximum deree and rmitted to escape into the room 1n which t e fire place is located.

With this object in view, the fire place consist/s of a heating chamber made up of slabs com sed of fire clay there being a grate locate in the said chamber, 'The grate may be used for burning wood or coalior other heating means may be provided for supplying heat to the heating chamber, such means as for instance an oil or gas, or gasoline burner. A casin surrounds three sides of the heating cham r and is spaced from the same. Air ducts lea'd in from the front vof the casin andl communicate with the rear portion t ereof and are adapted to lead air from the room into the casing around the fire chamber and to permit the heated air to pass from the casin into the room. The casing and fire cham r are mounted upon a base which is provided with a detachable ash box and a/grate is mounted upon the floor of the fire chamber and is positioned above the said ash box.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the fire place,

Figure 2 is a sectional View of the same, on line ,2-2 ofvFigure 1,

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the complete fire place on the plane of line 3--3 of Flgure 2.

Figure 4 is across-sectional view on line 4 4 of Figure 1. y

Figure 5 is a detailed perspective view of the chamber lining parts.

The re place lncludes a base member 1 Specification of Letters Patent.

mounted upon feet 2 and havin n an ash box .or drawer 3 slidably mounted t erein. The

base member 1 is provided at its to side with an opening 4 over which is locate a removable grate 5. A casin 6 is mounted upon the ase member 1 an a smoke pipe 7 communicates with the top side of the said casing. A plate 8 is located in the upper portion of the casing 6 and is disposed at an angle with relation to a horizontal line with its upper edge joined with the top side of the casing and its lower edge engaging the rear wall of the heating chamber hereinafter described. Air assages 9 lead through the front side of t e casing 6 and pass through the plate 8. Air passages 10 lead in -from the front side of the casing 6 at the lower portion thereof and 'have their rear ends disposed at the back of the casing 6.

The heating or fire chamber comprises side walls 11 composed of-re clay, a back rest 12 composed -of/the same material and located y at the rear edges of the side walls 11 and a back wall 13'also composed of fire clay and cut out at its edges to rest u on the inner edges of the side wa'lls 11. hen the parts are assembled, the back wall 13 is in an inclined osition within thev casing6 and spaced' from t e rear wall thereof and the side walls 11 are spaced from the side walls ofthe casing and are located between the air passages 9 at the upper portion of the casing and the air passages 1() at the lower portion thereof.

`Theupper edgeof the back wall 13 is spaced from the top wall-of the casing vso that smoke may ass from the heating or fire chamber over t e upper edge of the back wall 13 and out .through the" smoke pipe 7 in a usual mannen The passages 9 are separated from the path of escape of products of .combustion by branch partitions 8. on plate or partition 8 directly over Walls 11.

When coal or wood' is used in the grate 15 v for heating the fire or heating chamber, the ashes from the said fire may fall from the grate 15 through the grate 5 and' into the ash pan or box 3. The said pan or box may be removed at intervals from the base member 1 and emptied of its contents.

When the heating or fire chamber' is heated, the walls 11, 12 and 13fthereof absorb the heat and the air which is circulating about the outer surfaces of the said walls and within the casin 6 lbecomes heated and may pass out into t e room in which the fire K pliice is located and eifectually warm or heat the same. 1 l 'n From the foregoing description taken 1n conjunction with the accompan ing drawings, it will be seen that a fire P ace of sim.-

ple and durable structure is provided and that the same maybe economically used to advantage for recoveri and utilizing a maximum amount of the eat which is generated by the fire burning in the said iire lace.

p' Having described the invention, what is claimed 1s: Y

, 1. A fire place of the. class described having a casing provided with a fire chamber and with front inlet and outlet openings, side members for the fire chamber spaced from the side walls of the casing to rovide side air passages communicating with said openings, an inclined rear wall for the fire chamber overlapping said members Y and spaced from the rear of the casing to provide a back air chamber communicatin with saidf passages, a wall at the rear of t Ve ash pit overla pin said side members and on which sai inc ined rear wall rests,iand an 1,411,1sn f inclined partition extending over thetop of the back air chamber serving to osition the side members and rear walls an apertured to communicate with the top side air pas sa es, and branch partitions extending from said partitions to the front of the casing in line with and over said side members,

2. A fire place'of the class described having a casing rovided with a fire chamber/1 and front in et and outlet openings, side members for the fire chamber spaced from the side Wall of said casing to provide top and bottom side air passages communicating with said openings, rear wall means for the fire chamber spaced from the rear of the Acasing to provlde a back air chamber com-
