BROODER STOWEE.

Application led February, 1922. ySerial No. 533,740.

To all whom t may coment.'

Be it known that l, W'ILLIAM H. WALTER,

above the upper surface of grate 4 is an air shaft whic-h is formed between the inner side l .a citizen of the United. States, residing in of member 2 and the arcuate part 12. Along the cityA and county of Denver and State of\\the inner surface of member 3 and located Colorado, have invented certain new and useful improvements 1n Brooder Stoves;

and l do-declare the following to be a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled inthe art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, and to the characters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. V

rlhis invention relates to new and-useful improvements in. stoves, and especially to a stove known as a brooder stove.

lt is the object of this invention to provide a stove that shall be of substantial and inexpensive construction, which is built on the hot blast principle and which is provided with a reliable draft regulating attachment whichv is automatically controlled by a temperature responsive device which serves to keep the temperature from varyf ing too much from that desired. l

v'In order to more clearly describe my invention, l shall have reference-to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a vertical section through my brooder stove, and shows thehood in place thereon;

Fig."2 is a section taken on line *Q -2, Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the stove, and

shows the relative location of the draft feed and flue openings and Fig. 4 is a section on line 4 4, showing the manner of attaching the cover to the stove.

rlhe same reference numerals will be use-:1 to indicate vthe same or similar parts throughout the several views.

Numeral 1 represents the base portion of the stove and 2 represents the fire pot section which is above the rate, while 3 indicates the combustion cham er section of the stove body. llt will'be noted that the base portion 1 is upwardly tapering, and the fire pot section 2 is downwardly tapering, and at the juncture of the two, l prov ide a grate 4 beneath which is located an ash pan 5. The combustion chamber `section 3 is bolted to the lower part 2 by means of bolts 6 which ass through outwardly extending lugs 7. xtending from a point 10 a short distance directly yabove shaft 11 is another air passage 13, formed by the inner side of member 3 and the arcuate member 14. Shaft 13 is somewhat larger in cross section than shaft 11, and by this means passage 15 is provided between the two. At the top of member 3, l provide two spaced lugs 16, between which ll pivotally mount a damper l17 which is adapted to close the upper end of air passage 13. Damper 17 has an outwardly extending portion 18, to which is pivotally connected a rod 19 whose lower end is connected to lever 20, which is controlled by a thermostatic member 21, supported on a bracket 22 which is secured to the lower innervsurface of hood 9' by means of bolts 23.- rThe outer end of lever 20 is movably securedv to bracket 22 by means of a bolt 24 and rests upon the projecting portion 25 of the thermostat 21.

When the thermostat 21 becomes heated,

it expands and moves the end of lever 20 able cover member 29 having a handle 30.

ln Fig. 3 l have shown a plan view of the top of the stove and this shows that the draft passage 13, feed opening 28 and flue opening 27 are spaced apart on a diameter, with the feed opening 28 located between the other two; this forms a convenient arrangement and permits the coal to be fed centrally of the stove and makes it necessary for the air to pass from one side of the stove to the other in order to reach the flue 27. By my arrangement, air entering through the passage 13 will partly enter the space above the fire through opening 15, and a portion of it will pass down and enter above the grate 4, while the remainder will pass down below the grate; a ood distribution of air is thus obtained. s my air enters from above, it will become highly heated before it enters the combustion chamber and .26 is secured by tained. A vcut-out portion 31 is provided in the hood and enables thel same to be removed without removing the damper 17.

0n the inside of'member 3 near the top thereof, I provide lugs 8 to'which the top top bolts 31. The hood 9 is provided'wit legs 32 by means of which it is supported on the floor 33. Legs 32 are preferably made of U-shaped or angular` material with the edges bent over as indicated by numeral 34. It is customary to have the hood suspended from the stove but I have found that thisv necessitates careful leveling of the stove in order to get the lower edge of the hood evenly spaced from the Hoor. By using supports and resting them on the floor surface the hooclvwill al- ;vays be properly spaced from the floor surace.

From the above it will appear that l have invented a brooder stove that can be 'cheaply made and which is substantial in construction and automatic in its operation.

Having now described my invention or discovery, what l claim as newv is:

1. A stovev comprising in combination, a base portion, a tW'o-part section supported onthe base portion, said section being upwardly divergent, a grate located at the juncture of the base and the divergent sec-v tions, an air passage extending within said divergent section from a point directly above the grate to the top thereof, a damper hinged to the up er edge of the magazine and adapted to c ose the upper end of the air passage, a cover on said divergent section, said cover having a'feed opening centrally thereof and a flue opening to one side thereof.

2. A stove comprising in combination, a,

base portion, a two-part section supported on the base portion, said section being upwardly divergent, a grate located at vthe juncture of the base and the divergent sections, an air passage extending within said divergent section from a point directly above the grate to the top thereof, a damper hinged to the upper edge of the magazine 4metrically across from the air passage.

3. Astove comprising in combination, a base portion, .a two-part section supported on the base portion, said portion being up- Wardly divergent, a grate located ,at the juncture of the base and the divergent secreeaava tions,.` an air passage extending within said hinged to the upper edge of the portion and adapted to close the upper end of the air passage, said air passage having a pas-l sage nto the combustion chamber at some distance above the grate, a cover secured to the top of said divergent section and having a central feed opening therein and a'gas flue eccentrically arranged thereon, said flue opening being arranged `diametrically across from the air passage,` and lugs on the outer surface of said portion for supporting a hood.

4. A stove comprising in combination, a base portion, a two-part section supported on the base portion, said section being upwardly divergent, a grate located at the juncture of the base and the divergent section, an air passage extending within said divergent section from a point directly above the grate to the top thereof, a damper hinged to the upper edge ofthe section and adapted to close the upper end of the`l air passage, said air passage having a passige into the combustion chamber at some dista'nce above the grate, a cover secured to the top of said divergent section and having a eccentrically arranged thereon, said flue openlng belng arranged dlametrlcally across from the air passage, and thermostatic into the combustion chamber at some dis-v tance above the grate, a cover secured to the top of said divergent section and having a` central feed opening therein and a gas flue eccentrically arranged lthereon, said flue opening being arranged diametrically across from the air passage, a hood, a thermostatic means supported'on the insideof said hood near the bottom thereof, means connecting said thermostatic means to the damper whereby the latter is controlled in accordance with the temperature, and lsupports secured to the lower edge of the hoodfor supporting the same from the floor. In testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
