)T he invention aims to providea 'new and improved form of knock-'down stove of sectional construction, this construction being' suchthat an upper, oven-and-iiue-containing wall and aj top .secured thereto, imay be disposed within i aglower, fire-retaining.

wall when thev stove is disassembled.

1With the foregoingin view ,the invention resides in the novel 'subjectinatter lierein fatter describedand claimed, the description being supplemented by the Vaccompanying drawing.

Fig. y1 is a front elevation of the stoveset up for use.v v

Fig, 2, is a vert-ical sectional View on line Qa of Fig. i.

Figs. 3 and 4 are horizontal Ysections on the correspondingly numbered lines of Fig. 5 is a vertical transverse section on line 5-5 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view lshowing the sections of the stove disassembled.

Fig. 7 is a vertical section illustrating the I manner in which the sections of the stove are engaged with each other when they are to be carried from one place to another.

' The form of construction selected for illustration in the present application, will be rather specifically described, with the understanding however, that within the scope of the invention as claimed, variations may be made. e

In the drawings above briefly described, the numeral 8 designates a bottom which supports the fire when the stove is in use, said bottom preferably having detachable legs 9. At its periphery, this bottom is provided with an upwardly projecting continuous flange 10, which is .spaced inwardly to some extent from its peripheral edge. Resting upon this peripheral edge portion of' the bottom 8 and 'fitting removably around the flange 10, is a lower wall 11 which retains the fire when the device is in use, said wall being provided with a fuel-feeding and draught-controlling door 12 which is hingedly .supported at 13 and held closed by a suitable spring catch or the like 14.- The upper end of this wall 11 is contracted as indicated at 15, and a downwardly facing, beveled, internal shoulder 15@L is formed at the lower portion of the reduced end, while a similar but upwardly :facing shoulder 15b is also provided, externally.

iRjeiiiovably fitting faroiu'nd l the contracted upp'erend 1 5 of the lower 'wall 11, and resti ing'onslioiil'der15b, is an upper, continuous, oven-andlflueLcontaimng wall 16, this upper wall beiiigof less 'height and oless diameter than fthe wall'i11so that it may be received Awithin the latter 'when the parts are tobe nested-for y carriage from one place to another or for`s`t orage, as willbe clearffrom F ig. 7 The"oven 1 7 land the smoke flue 18 within the confines foftheiwall 16, are prac- Ytically identical with theloven "andfflue of our S. Patent`No. -1',464,271 andhence 'need notbe 'described in detail. vItn'ia'y be mentioned however, r4that the hinged oven door 19 is h eldnormally closed by spring catch 20 (Fig, '41) s'provided vwith an external handle 21, byem'eans 'of which `it maybe "opened, and is formed witha recess 22 into prefer to provide the linterior of the oven with opposed apertured lugs 23 with which the downturned ends 24 of rods 25 may be engaged, providing a grating upon-which to rest baking pans or the like.

A top 26 is secured upon the upperr end of the wall 16 and is preferably provided with a vdownwardly projecting continuous flange 27 which surrounds said wall, said top 26 being also provided with a smoke outlet 28.

When the stove is to be carried from one place to another, the sections 8, 11 and 16 are disconnected as in Fig. 6, and the legs 9 are removed. Then, the legs are placed in the oven 17, the section 16 is inserted into the section 11 and the bottom section 8 is again applied tothe section 11. vThus, a' compact nested structure is produced which may readily be carried in small space, for instance in an automobile. Attention is invited to the fact that when the parts `are nested, as seen in Fig. 7, the top 26 abu-ts the shoulder 15a holding the section 16 against loosely rattling in the section 1. The legs 9 and rods 25 may be wrapped to prevent rattling if desired.

When the stove has reached the point at which it is to be used, it may be quickly and easily assembled, and used to advantage.

It will be observed from the foregoing that a simple, inexpensive and desirable con-V or condensed for earryinv or storage, as oecasion may demand. lence, the stove is well adapted for camping purposes, but is not restricted to this particularl field of use.

7e claim: Y

l. A knool-down'stove comprising a tiresupporting bottom, a lire-retaining wall removably Connected with said bottom, an oven-and-iue-containing wall removably connected with the upper end of said fire retaining wall, said oven-and-flue-oontaining wall being of less diameter than said fireretaining wall and being receivable wit-hin the latter when the stove is disassembled,

and a top secured to the upper end of the oven-and-flue-containing wall and also receivable within said fire-retaining wall; the aforesaid bottom being re-applioable to the lower end of the fire-retaining wall after in- .sertion of the other wall and the top therein.

2. A structure as specified in claim l; the upper end of said lire-retaining wall being reduced, providing an internal downwardly facing shoulder and an external upwardly facing shoulder, the external shoulder limiting downward sliding of the ovenand-flne retaining wall when the stove is set up for use, the internal shoulder abutting said top and holding the same and said oven-and-iueretaining wall against upward movement when these parts are within the fire-retaining wall.

8. A knock-down stove comprising a firesupporting bottom having an upstanding annular flange; a continuous tire-retaining wall removably telescoped with said flange, said wall being Contracted at its upper end providinga downwardly facing internal shoulder; an oven-and-flue-oontaining oontinuous wall having its lower end removably teleseoped with said contracted upper end of the fire-retaining wall, said oven-andflue containing wall being of less height than the lire-retaining wall, and a top having a smoke outlet and a continuous downwardly projecting flange, the latter being telescoped withv and secured to the upper end of said oven-and-flue-eontaining wall; the oven-andflue-eontaining wall and top being receivable within the lire-retaining wall when the steve is disassembled, said top then abutting said shoulder, said bottoml being ie-engageable with the lower endrof said tire-retaining wall to hold the nested parts in nested relxition with each other.

ln testimony whereof we atlixed our signatures.
