IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE-COVERINGS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.

March To all whom it may concern: V

Beit known that I, ANDREW J. VANDE- drain and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Covering, o which the following is aspeciication Figure 1 is a vertical cross section" of my improved device, taken through the line a: a2, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same, taken through thevline y y, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of the same, taken through the line z z, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction ofthe cook-room refrigerator for which Letters Patent No. 109,081 were granted to P. D. Vandeventer, November 8, 1870, to make it more convenient and satisenabling the cooking to be done with less fuel and with a more uniform heat than when the old construction is used.

.The invention consists in the doors made in two parts, and with their adjacent edges overlapping each other, and at such a distance apart as to leave spaces between them for the entrance of cold air, as will be hereinafter more fully described.

A represents a cookwhich the cook-stove B is placed. U is the pipe, through which the smoke and other products of combustion pass olf. D is a casing extending from the ceiling to within such a distance from the Hoor that its lower edge may be out of the way of thecooks head when approaching' the stove B.

lhe space below the casing D is closed by two doors,'E F, the adjacent edges of which overlap each other, and the lower doors F are set in, so as to leave a space, G, between said overlapped edges.

the heated air around the stove to rise naturally.

The cook obtains access to the stove by opening the upper doors E, 'which prevents the hot air around the stove from escaping.

The front door E consists of a frame, H, in

which are inserted one or more glass plates,

to allow the progress of the cooking' to be inspected without opening any ofthe doors, and

in its lower part is a small door, I, to allow small vessels to be put on and taken off without opening the large door.

The hot air escapes through a small window, J, in the rear side of the case D, close to the ceiling. The Window J also admits light, and may be closed, except when cooking. This construction avoids the necessity of another iiue to carry off the hot air.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- In combination with a cooking stove or range, a casing having the doors E F made in two parts, and `with their overlapping each other, apart as to leave spaces G between them for the entrance of cold air, substantially as herein shown and described.
