NESTLNGT, CAMP'. HEATER Spcicatoii Off-Tietversvatent- Patented June 13, i922.

v`Appli@ atcn filed December 18, 1 919. Serial No. 345,848.'

Be it known that I, JOHN L. ANDERSON, al citizen of thelUnited` States, and a resident of tlielcity. of Ogden, the c ountyof YVeber, andl theJ State of Utah, have in.

vented a certain new and useful Nesting Camp Heater, of which the i'jollowing, together with the accompanying ,drawing,

forms aA full, clear, and' exact specification, whichnwill enable others to make'and use the same.

This invention relates to a nesting ,camp

heater, and its principal objects are to'provide a heating stove for camp use, which shall, first, be simple and sturdy in construction; second, :consistv of a minimum of 'separate parts; third,` be easily and quickly knocked down for shipment and storage; `fourth, have its separate parts so formed that whenknocked down7 they maybe nested to occupy a minimum of space and not to require boxing or crating for shipment; iiith, be rugged and clean-cut in design, and have no fragile parts 'nor projections that might be broken orf in rough handling; sixth, be truly economical in the cost of manufacture; and seventh, have its design based `on a system of duplication of parts, thereby` making. few patterns necessary and. allowing parts which are subject to the greatest deterioration to Vbe interchanged with parts which are subject to the least deterioration, thus equalizing the wear and obtaining the' maximum life of the partsA 'y ln construction camps, where 'contractors are required to. furnish heat for bunk houses, tents Aor other portable or temporai-yV shelters, there exist peculiar conditionswhich the ordinary types o'fLlieatingV stoves now in fthe market, signally .fail to meet. When considering thesev conditions,

it may be mentioned that allv equipment' must be continually set up, taken down and moved' fromv place to plaj,e,under circum,

stances, which at the best, are unfavorable to thelasting qualities and to the efficient handling A of, the ordinary. heating stoves. Another condition is, that contractors find it advantageous to carry in stock at remotel points,a very complete line of repair parts for all their equipment, so that it becomes highlyA desirable to `reduce. thefnumber of separate parts of whiclrany lpiece o fappafl ratus may becomposed, to as `ifew as possible and to use duplicates of one pattern yin as iiiany`difeient places as possible.

meet `the Yrequirements 'summarizedl in i the above stated series of objects of this vinvention. l 'V The present heater is preferablymadeof cast iron yand is so designed that the body.

shall consist of a plurality of separate sec-y tions, all'- identical' ,in general shape and size, the shapebeing preferably that of a hollow frustuin of a' cone. the sections may ,be made from two separate patterns, one, aV door4 section, and the other, 'a plain'section. All the body sections othe heater may be mounted on a base section in the desired order, the uppermost body section being surinounted by'l a cover section, Vv'vhich latter may be rprovided withan vintegral collar` for' receiving the n.

usual smoke pipe. The various sections may be held together by ironrods extending from thebase section lthroughthe body sec- The features of this invention upon which the protection of Letters Patent is desired, are collectively grouped in the appended claims. f A

Throughout the different views, similar .110 Referring. to `,thel drawing, l() lrepresents parts are designated by similannuinerals.

thebase section oin the stove, and around the circumference of the base, in its upper surface, is a rabbeted portion 11, adapted to receive the lower part of the ash-box section 12. Section 12 has the door 13 carried by the lugs 15 and hinged in the pin 14, the lugs forming an integral part of the section 12.' At its top, the section 12 has the inwardly projecting flange 16, and carries the superposed fire-bowl section 17, the latter having the downwardly projecting flange 18, which is concentric with the flange 16 of the lower section 12, and is adapted to form a close joint between the two

sections

12 and 17 Superposed on the lire-bowl section 17 is the upper middle section 12a, which is an exact duplicate of the ash-box section 12, and further, superposed on the upper middle section 12a is the top section 17a, which is an exact duplicate of the lire-bowl section 17. superposed on section 172L is the cover section 19, which has the integral collar 20 for receiving the usual stove pipe (not shown).

By referring particularly to Figs. 2, 3 and 5, it will be noticed that the lower parts of sections 12 and 12FL are formed into conical flanges as indicated at 21 and 21a, respectively, and that these flanges lit snugly over the upper portions of the sections below them. The cover section 19 may have the conical flange 22, which is similar to, and of. the same size as, the flanges 21 and 21-,

The various sections of the stove may be firmly clamped together by the rods 23, which have their lower ends formed into countersink heads 24, the latter having their bearings in the bottom section 10, while the rods extend upwardly through holes in vertical alignment with each other in the various superposed sections. The upper ends of the rods 23 may be fitted with nuts 25. The nuts 25, being located far from the corroding action of the fire, always have their threads in good condition and may be readily removed.

The section 17 forms the fire-bowl of the stove, its lower part being fitted lwith the grate 26 resting on the abutment 27. Section 128L is provided with the fire door 13, and section 12, which forms the ash-box, is provided with the ash-door 13. y

The fire-bowl section 17 is obviously subject to a more severe deterioration from the action of the fire, than any other part of the stove, while the top body section 17V is obviously subject to a much lesser deterioration. But the section 17 is of the identical form as section 17a, and interchangeable with it. Therefore, when a certain degree of deterioration in the fire-bowl has been reached, where it can no longer be considered as serviceable for its original purpose, it may be interchanged with the top body section, the latter then fo-rming a practically new lire-bowl, while the former still has a considerable use ahead of it under the less severe exposure to the action of the fire.

The

sections

12, 17, 12L and 17 a, all being conical in form and of the same size, allow them to be nested as illustrated in Fig. 5. In nesting the parts, the cover section 19 is preferably placed lowermost, while the

sections

10, 12, 17,12eand 17a are preferably placed in consecutive order as shown, the

grate 26 being sandwiched between the

sections

12 and 17 The lugs 15, on

sections

12 and 12a, may be so placed that they do not interfere at all with the nesting of the sections. This is clearly shown in Fig. 5. The space 27 (Fig. 5), inside the section 12, may be utilized as a container for the doors 18j-and 13a. Whennested, the various sections may be fastened together for shipment,

by means of loops of wire (not sho-wn) threaded through the

holes

21, 10c, 12C, 17C, 12ac and 17 ac.
