IMPROVEMENT IN CULINARYAPPARATUS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,317, dated July 25, 1876; application filed April 29, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMEs' WYE'rr J OHN- SON,'Of Oandor, in the county of Tioga and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in a Water-Tank and Oven Combined 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawingsis a representa tion of a side elevation of my water-tank and oven; and Fig. 2 is a vertical central section thereof.

This invention has relation to a culinary apparatus, which is applicable to cookingstoves, and which is designed to be used on the top of a stove, on one of the pot-holes thereof; and the nature of my invention consists in a cylindrical vessel, in which are two chambers, one of which is designed to contain 'water, and the other is provided with a valve The invention further consists in providing the hinged cover ofmy culinary apparatus with a globular condenser, in which is a tubular valve, as will be hereinafter explained.

In the annexed drawings, A designates the body of my improved culinary apparatus, which is preferably constructed of acylindrical form, the bottom of which is adapted for the pot-hole of a common cooking-stove, or for a base-burner. B designates a waterchamber, and G a heating-chamber, formed by dividing the body A as designated by the diaphra-gms a, as represented in Fig. 2. The water-chamber B is provided with a drawotf cock, E, and is in communication with a chamber, F, which extends over the heatingchamber 0. At the base of the heating-chamber O is a valve, D, which can be opened or closed by means of a crank-handle, b, and which, when it is in a horizontal position, rests upon a flan ge, c. This heating-chamber is accessible through an opening which is closed by a door, G.

In practice, I shall construct the flange c with a surface which inclines downward and inward, for the purpose of preventing lodgmentof coal while feeding the stove.

My invention is especially applicable to base-burnin g stoves, the apparatus being applied at the upper end of the magazine, which is supplied with coal through the bottom of the heating-chamber 0 when the valve D is open. The top of the cylinder A is closed by a hinged cover, 11, which is provided with a steam-vent, d, having a perforated adjustable cap, e,-for regulating the exit of steam. Ir designates a globular condenser, which is in communication with the water-chamber B,

and which is provided with a valve, f, for the purpose of allowing steam to escape when there is an excess of pressure in the waterchamber. This valve f will allow the water of condensation to return into the water-chamber B.

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

1. The combination of a water-tank and oven, composed of the cylindrical body A, and chambers B O, the chamber G having valve D at its base, and adoor, Gr, substantially as described.

2. In the culinary vessel herein described, the hinged cover H, provided with a condenser, L, containing a valve, f, for the purpose explained. i

In testimony thatI claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

JAMES WYETT JOHNSON.
