PETER JYAOKERMAN, OF PATERSON, NEW JERSEY.

IMPROVEMENT IN COOKlNG-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,344, dated March 10, 1874; application filed December 20, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER J. ACKERMAN, of Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved GooleStove, of which the following is a specification:

The invention will be first fully described, andthen pointed out in the claim.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation on the line :0 x of Fig. 1,

and Fig. 4 is a plan view with a part of the top broken out.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the fire-chamber; B, the elevated oven; 0, the chamber, under the oven and back of the fire-chamber, inclosed by the plates D E F G and a zinc plate, H, on the floor or a platform. The stove is supported on said plates, instead of legs. I is a flue below the oven, on a level with the top of the fire-pot J. It extends to the back vertical flue K, and has a damper at M to control the draft through it.

N is the front vertical flue for the draft when shut off from the bottom and back flue; also, for the secondary fire-place O,-for a small fire of wood or light fuel, whenever it may be desirable to heat the pots on the top P quickly, or to heat the top of the oven while the heat from the lower fire is passing through flue I, or mainly so. Near the bottom of said vertical flue N is a damper to shut off or let on the draft, and near the upper part is a grate, R, for the support of the fuel of the upper fire. Between said grate R and damperN the front plate has a register, S, to be opened when broiling, frying, &c., on the top of the fire-chamber A, to cause a draft therefrom to carry off the smoke and odors. T is the water-back in the back part of the fire-pot lining, and U the circulating-pipes connecting it with the boiler 0r reservoir at the back of the stove, said pipes traversing the upper portion of the warmingchamber 0 below the oven. X is a register for regulating the draft to the upper fire, and for the escape of some of the smoke and odors.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination, with a stove having the fire-chamber and oven-chamber placed at right angles, and the latter higher than the former, of a warming-chamber, O, in the rear of the first, under the fine I of the second, and inclosed by the plates D E F G, all as set forth.

PETER J. AGKERMAN.
