furnaces installed in dwellings, apartment houses, etc., for burning rubbish, refuse, garbage and the like and has for its object means by which a draft is provided for drying and carrying off the odors of the material within the furnaceincinerator when the contents are not burning, as well as the furnace air to support combustion.

It further has for its object an arrangement of the direct air passages whereby the odor from the material within the furnace is prevented from escaping into the cellar or basement of the building in which the incinerator is installed.

The inventionv consists in the novel fea tures and in thecombinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of an incinorator embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 22, Figure 1.

Figures 3 and 4 are sectional views taken respectively on lines 83, and 4-4, Figure 2. This incinerator comprises generally, a body provided with a combustion chamber, a flue leading therefrom serving both as a chimney flue and as a conduit through which rubbish, garbage and other refuse is conveyed to the incinerator, a direct air passage leading from the outside of the incinerator to the combustion chamber thereof, the inlet for such passage being out of line with the outlet thereof into the combustion chamber and preferably below the outlet.

The air intake from the outside of the combustion chamber is open at all times permitting a continuous air circulation for drying, burning, or carrying off of odors.

1 designates the body which is usually formed of brick.

2 is the combustion chamber.

3 is the flue leading therefrom.

4 is the grate and 5 .is the ash pit below the grate. i v

. Aidoor leads into the flue orchimneyat.

designate corresponding 6 is a door leading into the combustion chamber and 7 is the ash pit door.

built into=one of the walls of the body 1; and arranged to'open into the combustion chamber beneath -the overhanging wall 8 of the top of the'body 1.

The direct passages are here shown as 1 Ashere shown, one of the walls is formed I double providing an upright passage 9 having. a plurality of vertical slots or outlets 1O opening into the combustion chamber 2 and also having inlets 11 opening into the outer air near the base of the bodyl or beneath the combustion chamber or the level of the grate 4.

each floor of the building, through which the rubbish, garbage, etc., is deposited in the flue.

In operation, the rubbish is usually thrown into the chimneyj3 from the various floors or of course, it may be inserted throughthe door ,6; At intervals, it is ignited. Before the rubbish is ignited, ample air draft is provided through the chimney and the direct air passages and hence, the material isdried and odors from the material are carried 0E nd there is no liability of the odors escaping down through the direct passages and the inle'ts ll below the leveliof thegrate 4, owing to the fact that ample draft is provided for. When the material in the combustion chamber is ignited and burning, the draft through the direct passages is ample to support combustion, it being understood that oftentimes on account of the" quantity of the material on the grate, air can not pass through the grate. Also, while the material is lying on thegrate, but not burning, the positive draft through the direct air passages drives out the moisture from such material and prepares it for burning.

What I claim is: I

1. In a garbage incinerator, the combination of a body formed with a cumbustion chamber and an ash pit, a flue leading from the chamber, the body being formed with a permanently open upright passage in one of its side walls and with outlet' passages opening from the first passage laterally into the combustion chamber and with other passages opening through the outer wall of the body serving as an inlet to the air, the latter passages being located below the outlets into the combustion chamber, allof said passageshaving no direct communication with the ash pit. r

2. A garbage incinerator comprising a body provided with argrate, a combustion chamber above the grate, an ash pit below the grate and a combined smoke flue and inlet for the materialto be consumed leading from the top of the body, ,the'top also providing an overhanging wall, permanently open air passages leading from the atmosphere outside of the body and having outlets opening directly into the combustion chamber above the grate under the overhanging wall to supply air to support combustion, said passages having no direct communication with the ash pit.

3; A garbage incinerator comprising a bo'dy'provid'ed with a grate, a' combustion chamber above the grate, an ash pit below the grate and a combined smoke flue and inlet for the material to be consumed leading from'the top of the chamber, the body being formed-with an upright passage in one of its side walls and with outlet passages opening from the first passage laterally into the combustion chamber, said lateral passages extending Vertically slightly above the grate to the top of the chamber, the body also having other passages opening through the outer Wall of the body serving as aninlet to "the air, the latter passagesbeinglocated below the outlets in to the combustion chamber, all of said passages having no communication with. the a ash pit.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto signedmy name at Syracuse, in the count of Onondaga and State'of New York, this 30th day of June, 1926."
