HOT-WATER STOVE.

Application led April 24, 1.923. ScTalNo. 634,240.

The object of my present invention is to devise a novel construction and arrangement o'l' a hot water stove having a plurality oi water chambers and a separate source oi; heat for effecting the heating of the water in said water chambers, although one or the other of such sources oi heat may be dispensed with.

It further comprehends a novel construction oi a hot water stove wherein a water i jaclretediire pot has superimposed above it a water ring forming a continuation of such lire pot and a separate grate is employed for the water jacketeol re pot and for the water ring.

In devices of this character, it is-desirable to have one of the water chambers connected with the radiators and to have one or more water chambers serve as a supply of hot water for household purposes such as ior the kitchen and the bath room. lfilhere a single tire is employed, it is diliticult in practice to so adjust it that heat is not wasted in the summer time when the radiators are not in use.

In accordance with my present invention both fires may be in operation at the same time or a single fire employed to heat both of the water chambers. ln the summer time, when the radiators are not in use, the tire 'for only one of these water chambers is employed.

lt further comprehends a novel construc-4 tion oil. a hot water stove wherein a plurality oi superimposed water chambers are employed, the inner Walls of which contribute to form the iire pot with a source of heat for each water chamber, the upper` grate being provided with a removable section so that the proper draft can be obtained for the lower tire.

It further eomprehends a novel construetion and arrangement oi a water jacleted .tire pot, a `water ring, grate supporting members and gratos.

Other novel features oi construction and advantage will hereinafter more fully appear in the detailed description andthe appended claim.

For the purpose oi illustrating my invention, I have shown in Vthe accompanying drawings embodiments thereotwhich are at present preferred by me, since these embod.

iments will be found in practice to give satsfastery and reliable results. It sliowest diameter intermediate its ends.

ever, to be understood that the various in- Figure 1 represents, in sectional elevation,

a hot water stove, embodying my invention.

Figure 2 represents a section on line 2-2 oit Figure l.

Figure 3 represents a section on line 3-3 oit Figure 1.

Figure l represents a view in section showing the grate sections in a different relation from that seen in Figure 3; and

Figure 5 represents, in detached position, aV top plan view oi a grate support.

Referring to the drawings. l.

l designates the base of thefstove on vwhich is mounted a base top or ash pit ring 2 which at its upper end is provided with an inwardly extending flange 3 to receive the water acketed fire pot Lixwhich is provided with the water chamber 5 which is of great- The Vflange 3 also serves as a support for a rest supporting ring 6 having Vthe aligned recesses 7 and 8 which are adapted to receive a grate bar rest 9 the central portion of such rest being depressed. The rest is provided with the upwardly extending pin 10. The rest supporting ring 6 is provided with an annular recess 11 in its outer periphery near its bottom so that it can set down into the flange 3. l l

l2 designates a grate bar supporting ring having in its top a semicircular recess 13.

14C designates a grate cross bar :trom which f extends laterally a .recessed arm 15 which seats on the pin l0 ot the rest 9. The grate bar supporting ring is provided with the oppositely disposed recesses or seats 16 and with an outward extension 17 which forms the equivalent of a shank and this extension is provided with an aperture 18, in order to facilitate its manipulation when it is desired to shake. the grate by oscillating it in a horizontal plane. The underiace oi the' extension is recessed, as at 19. 2O designates a semicircular grate which is adapted to be received in the recess 13 land to be replaced by a flat grate 21, the grate 2O being provided with a vertically disposed iront grate CII member 22. The purpose ot the' upstanding grate isI to Adivide a lire pet into tivo sections so that' it asinall tire is desired a small quantity of fuel may be used iu one section Without spreading all over the other .'ion. The grate section 20 forms the rear portion ot the Grate, and the trout portion is toi-ined by a grate section 28 having the trunnions 24 which are received in the seats 1G of: the grate ybar supporting` ring. The section23` is thus pivot-ally supported and it is held in its upivard position by means ot a pin `25 which is received in the recess 3,9 and* passes through the aperture 25 in the grate' bar supporting ring 12.

They construction' just described refers to the upper grate mechanism; The upper and lower rests 9 and rest supporting ring G are ofthe same construction' so that they have been given the same reference characters. The lo'iver grate in Figures l and 2 as indicated at 27,l is of the dravf'bar type and is' provide'dwit-h a draw-bar 28' and it is pivotally mounted on the pin l0 of the loiver rest' 9. The upper rest' supporting ring 6 is Vcarried the' 'Water aclreted fire potl and contributes With such Water yaclreted fire pot to'support a Water ring' 29 which is provided with a Water chamber 30. A top easing ring 31 is seated on the water ring 29. and is'provid'ed with a damper con-v trolV exit flue 32V and With the removable lids 33'.' The-top ot the stove is adapted to be used for domestic purposes it desired.

The Water.l jacketed firepot l is provided with an inlet' pipe 46 and an outlet pige 47 and ina similar manner, the Water ring 29 is provided with an'inlet pipe 48 and a discharge pipe 49.

The Aoperation of my present' invention will ,now be readily apparent to those skilled in this art and is as follows:

When. itf is desired' to provide hot Water for use both inthe radiators and for bath roomv andhousehold purposes, the lower grate mechanism `only'may be employed in which case the upper grate mechanism can remain in place'or' it maybe removed, as it has beentound in practice that the draft through the re pot isnotL interfered with. Either the Waterv jaclreted fire pot or the Water ringniay becon'nected with the radiator system, as may be'de'sired.

Vlien it is desired-to maintain a very loiv fire in the main or lower lire chamber,

is preferably about four-litths of the eapacity when the grate-sections 20 and 23 are both employed. "lhis elevated supplementary tire can be used in conjunction With the lower, fire irrespective of Whether the lower is low in volume and low burn ing or ,vhether it is ot normal volume and burning at 1nl f-:imurn capacity.

li the water required from the upper vfatcr chamber is but a small quantity, the

upper lire may be kept a fractional size until such time as the greater quantity of hot Water may be needed. The grate section 20 can then be removed and the grate sections 2l and23` utilized so as to carry a [ire equal 1' f that in accordance With my present inven- 'I tion, l provide a plurality of superposed and independent Water chambers and a separate source/.ot heat for each chamber, and, wl'ienever desired, the upper source oit' heat may have its capacity reduced or it may be eliminated. ln a similar manner, the source of heat ior the lower Water chamber may be eliminated and only the upper source of heat en'iployed, so-that only the upper Water chamber Will be heated.V I I .ln this inail-ner, the desired supply of hot Water can be maintained at all seasons ot the year andthe Water chambers may be heated by the same source of heat, heated by independent sources of heat, or one source oi" heat or the other may be dispensed Yith in accordance with conditions and requirements met with iny practice.

ylhe Water ring, as illustrated, forms' a continuation ot theire pot formed by the inner wall ot the Water jaclreted lire pot 4.

ln accordance` With my present invention, llempl'o'y a base or lower tire which, as il lustrated, is utilized to heat a Water j acketed fire pot, although itivill be apparent that a lire pot which dees not have a Water chamberin it may be employed', ifdesired.

Above this loiver tire pot, I can employ one or more .vater rings or Water chambers, although Jfor purpose'otr illustration, I have preferred to show a single Water' ring above the Water jaclreted lire pot.

The grate cross bar 14 ormsa part of its respective grate 2O or 21. Itivill thus be understood that the basev fire can bel operated independently of or conjointly Withone ormore uppei'fires so that the-hot Water for onev ,or morev circuits may effectively heatedit will new appare-at that I have-felis# vised a novel and useful construction of a hot Water stove which embodies the features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the statement of the invention and the above description, and While I have, in the present instance, shown and described embodiments thereof which Will lgive in practice satisfactory and reliable results, it is to be understood that these embodiments are susceptible of modification in various particulars Without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention,

what I claim as new and desire to secure by l Letters Patent, is:

A hot Water stove, comprising a top casing having a lid, a Water jacketed fire pot, a rest ring contributing to support it, a rest on said rest ring, a grate carried by said rest, a rest ring supported on said fire pot, a rest supported by sai-d rest ring, a grate having a removable section supported by said. rest, a Water ring carried by said last named rest ring and fire pot, and a iiue for the iire pot which lue extends horitally beneath said lid.
