STATE PATET IMPROVEMENT IN STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N o. 177,272, dated May 9, 1876; application filed Apri 6, 1876.

To all whom it may c0ncern:

Be it known that I, ANDREW A. PTz, of Vienna, Empire of Austria, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Furnaces and Stoves, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had tothe accompanyin r drawing, in which- Figure l represents a vertical central section of my improvement applied to a boiler. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section in the line x w, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 shows my improvement applied to a heating-stove. Fig. 4 shows it applied to a cooking-stove.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

My invention relates to a certain novel arrangement of parts, which is applicable to furnaces as Well as stoves 5 and the invention consists in the combination, in a furnace or stove, of a flue for carrying ott' the products of combustion, a fuel-magazine, and a basketgrate arranged at the mouth of said tlue, and constructed to have a vertical and a swinging motion imparted to it, for the object herein` after specifically described.

The invention also consists of certain other improvements in the construction and arrangement of parts, which will bc fully described, and specifically pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing, the letter A designates a grate arranged according to my invention. This grate has the form ot' a basket, and is similar in form to an ordinary tire-place grate, ,being open at the top and also partly at the side. 'lhe letter B-designates a flue, at the mouth of which the grate is situated, the grate being so placed that the open part of its side faces this flue. It is obvious that this flue vB may lead under a steam-boiler, C, as

shownl in Fig. l, or through a heating-stove,

as seen in Fig. 3, or through a cooking-stove, as represented in Fig. 4. The grate is attached to a frame, D, which is hinged as at a, and thereby the grate is made susceptible of being swung outward for the purpose of clearing it of cinders, &c. The frame D, which supports the grate, is hinged to the wall ot' a magazine, E, a part of which wall is to this end made to project downward beyond the point of the grate, as at E. (See Fig. l.) The grate is thus brought under the lower and open end ot' the magazine E, and, if the maga-zine is filled with fuel,.the grate is kept constantly supplied therewith. The downwardly-projecting part E of thc magazine is provided with an opening, b, opposite to the grate, for

the passage of the products of combustion to.

the line B. The upper end of the magazine E is closed by a cover, F, which is made airtight, so as to prevent the escape of smoke or gases. The magazine is placed ina -vertical way,77 G, and arranged to move up and down in this way, while the way is made to form a part of the furnace or stove to which the whole may be applied. The magazine and the way are connected together by a screw, H, working in brackets I I, which lare VaflXed to these parts respectively 5 but, if seen tit, alever, rack, and pinion or other contrivance may be substituted for the screw. It is obvious that, by turning the screw H in one or the other direction, the magazine Eis moved up or down, while the grate A partakes of such movement, and hence can thereby be adjusted in any desired position with relation to the liue B. By this adjustment ofthe grate I am enabled to regulate the amount of live lire contained in it at any time, and, as a consequence thereof, to regulate the quantity of fuel consumed, inasmuch as, accord-ing to the area of the grate presented to the flue, a greater or less quantity of fuel is brought under the scope of the draft. By placing the grate at the mouth of the flue B, whether or not it is made adjustable, a very effective draft is obtained, while the draft is conducted through live lire, and the smoke is consumed.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a furnace or stove, the combination of a Hue, B, for carrying oft' the products of combustion, a magazine, E, and a basket grate, A, arranged at the mouth of said iiue, and constructed to have a vertical and a swinging motion imparted thereto, substantially as andfor the object specified.

2h In combination with the grate A and Hue B, a magazine, E, to the lower and open end ot' which the grate is affixed, andan adjusting screw, H, or other equivalent device, the whole being' adapted to operate substantially as described.
