The object of my invention is to provide a stove built up of sections and made up in convenient and standard sizes and including myl invention to provide means for concealing thestove fixtures and give the invention the general appearance of an ornamental fireplace. It is Aalso an object of my invention to provide a device that may be fitted into whatever space is available in connection with a fireplace in a particular room.

I-attain these-and other objects of my invention by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a front elevation of .the invention;

Fig. 2 isa front/elevation ofthe invention with the doors'to the respective Asections. open, compartment 5 being shown with-out the heating coil;

Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a modified arrangement of the invention with portions of the apparatus broken away' to show the position of the heating tank 2O and vent23;

Fig. 4- is a front elevation of a modified arrangement of the invention positioned at one side of the chimney 27 l Fig. 5 'is a vertical section .on line 5-.-5 of Fig. 4;`

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of another.A section ofthe stove compartment;

Fig. 8 isa perspective view of the removable screen or wall 24 whchconceals the ovens; and i Fig. 9 is a front elevation, reduced size, Y of a modified form of the invention, placed on a brick foundation. Like numerals designate like parts in each of the several views. Y Referring to the accompanyingl drawings,

` 'I provide -a fireplace 1 containing a suitable` fire-log of either gas or electric type. On either'side of the fireplace I provide 'suitable ovens 3. I also provide a suitable boiler 20 inthe compartments 9 and 22 extending through opening 21 in Istove section 3, as shown in Fig. 3, adapted to heat a water coil 19 in the broiler compartment 5 of one of` the ovens 3. I provide a suitable oven com-- 0 5 partment 4; a. suitable fireless cooker compartment 9, as shown in Fig. 2; and suitable storage compartment 10 arranged on either side of the fireplace 1, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and3.

Positioned above the fireplace'I provide a stove compartment 13 in whichrnay be mounted a suitable'gas or electric range 14. I provide suitable doors 15 for the stove compartment 13. The exterior surface of the

various doors

6, 7,11, 12 and 15, are ornamentally decora-ted or enameled in brick design to resemble and harmonize with the fbrick walls of the lire-place, so as to conceal )the ovens and present the appearance of`a fireplace alone, asdisclosed in`Fig. 1. To further carry out the ornamental appearance of the stove as well as to increase its usefulness, Iy prefer to provide the mantel 2, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. I prefer to provide the arcuate smoke hood 16 mounted on the pivots 17 and adapted to be swung out from its normal concealed position abutting stop 18 to the position show n in Fig. 5 to divert odors from the foodand from the gas or electric range up to the vent or flue 23.

As shown in Fig. 4, I may provide a removable screen 24 enameled or ornamented ywith Ia brick design to correspond with the ornamental exterior surface Iof vthe respec. tivedoorsfof the stove sections and of the surrounding brick work of the fireplace to complete the ornamental rdesign of the fireplace land at the lsame time to conceal the chimney flue 27 when the fireplace-.is arranged at one side of the chimney, as in the arrangement of the invention disclosed in Fig. 4.- I may `provide openings 28 between oven 4 and range compartment 13, as shown in Fig. 3, for the escape of odors from the oven in the stove compartment 13 and thence ,up the vent or flue 23. r f l Referring to Fig. 9, 'there is illustrated a modification of my `invention having an oven compartment 25, ,similar to oven comsize.

so as to permit of closing' of the doors 15 The boiler section 9 can`also be used as a Warming In .the form of the invention shown in Fig. 2, the' Water heater 20 is replaced by a freless cooker in compartment 9. The compartment 10 may be used as a storage compartment;l The ovens at either side of the fireplace are identical in size and shape and in the ornamentation of the doors so that any suitableinterchanging of sectionsl may be made as may be desired under `any particular circumstances.
