MAGAZINE-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 228,401, dated June 1, 1880.

Application filed March 5, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CARLTON SEAVER, of Traer, in the county of,Tama and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Stove, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to construct a stove so that the smoke and other products of combustion shall pass downward through the bottom thereof into a pipe that leads under the floor of the room in which the stove is placed and into the chimney, while the heat and light of the fire shall warm and light the room in which the stove is.

The invention consists of a stove provided with one or several pipes extending perpendicularly downward from above the fire-surface into the base of the stove between the grate and the shell or cylinder of the stove; and it consists, further, in a base provided with vertical partitions and with a damper for directing the course of the smoke and the products of combustion to the flue that projects downward from the center of said base and it consists, further, of another flue that connects with the one leading from the base of the stove and passes horizontally under the floor of the room, through a surrounding pipe that is laid in cement or other non-conducting material, into the chimney and, further, in registers opening from this surrounding pipe into the room and, further, in making that section of the stove j ust above the fire-surface of annealed glass.

Figure l is a vertical sectional elevation of the stove and connections. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line 20 to, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line y y, Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is avertical sectional elevation on linez z, Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

1n the drawings, A represents the stove, con sisting of the upper metallic cylinder, B, supporting the-magazine G, that passes centrally down into the fire-chamber D, which fire-chamher D is preferably constructed of thick annealed glass, as shown, by means of which the light of the stove-fire shall be difi'used about the room.

E is the central section of the stove, containingthe fire-pot F, and providedwith hinged doors a a, for convenience in arranging the fire in the said fire-pot F.

G is the ash-pit section of the stove, provided with a suitable door, I), as shown.

H is the base of the stove, said base H being formed by the bottom of the ash-pit G and a lower plate, I, which are united at their circumferences by a ring, K. ()n the upper face of this plate I, and around its central opening,

0, is fixed a ring, L, provided with perforations cl (Z, said ring L being set on its edge and eX- tending up to the bottom plate of the ash-pit G. The vertical diaphragms ff are secured to the face of this plate I in such a manner as to form short direct channels or lines g g and irregular extended channels or flues h h from the periphery of said plate I to the openings or perforations d cl of the ring L. Set within this permanent ring L, and provided with perforations 7t 70, corresponding with those of said ring, is a movable annular damper, M, that is actuated by means of the rod N, and can be moved to close or partly close and open or partly open the openings or perforations d d.

O O are the pipes or tubes that extend perpendicularly downward from above the firesurface into the base H of the stove between the fire-pot and ash-pit and the shell of the stove, said pipes O O terminating at the lower face of the ash-pit bottom plate, and preferably over the short channels 9 g.

P is a pipe or flue extending perpendicularly downward from the central opening, 0, of the base of the stove, and this pipe P passes through the plate Q, on which the stove A rests, and connects with the horizontal flue R, that passes under the floor S and terminates in the chimney T. Surrounding this horizontal flue R, but not in contact with it, is a larger flue, U, laid in cement or other non-conducting material, V, and designed to conduct the heat radiated from the flue R to the room above through the registers W X, one of which registers is preferably located directly beneath the stove A around the pipe P, while the other may be at any convenient place over the flue U. For the convenience of removing the collected ashes, soot, 860., from the line B, the opening m, provided with a removable cover, a, is shown.

When a fire is kindled in the said stove A the products of combustion pass down the pipes O Q into the base H of the stove, and

thence, by the pipe P and horizontal flue B, into the chimney T, the heat given off by the pipe R escaping into the room by the registers shown. The non-conducting material V, in which the pipe-fines It U are placed, serves to protect the surrounding wood-work from becoming heated; and with the stove pipes or flucs thus out of sight under the floor the stove is a more agreeable object in a room than one with an unsightly stove-pipe in sight.

lVith the stove pipe arranged as herein shown the disadvantages of loose joints, so common in pipes put up in the ordinary manner, are avoided, as well as the great inconvenience of putting them up and taking them down; and with this arrangement the heat from the smoke-pipe is introduced where it should properly beat the floor of the room. The pipes conducting smoke from stove to chimney, when the stoveis placed near the chimney, may be placed upon the floor and covered with some article of furniture to hide it entirely from sight, if desired.

The annealed glass walls of the fire-chamber D are of great durability, and by transmitting the light of the fire into the room add much to its pleasant and cheerful appearance.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A stove constructed, substantially as herein shown and described, with an upper metallic cylindrical section, 13, magazine 0, glass fire-chamber section D, central gratesection, E, ash-pit section Gr, base 11, pipes O 0, central pipe, P, and horizontal flue R, as set forth.

2. The combination, with the base H, provided with opening 0, of the pipe P and flue R, substantially ash erein shown and described, whereby the products of combustion in the stove are directed beneath the floor to the chimney, as set forth.

3. The combination, with the horizontal fine It, laid beneath the floor, of the air-flue U and registers X, substantially as herein shown and described, said flue U being laid in cement or other non-conducting material, as set forth.

4. In combination with the pipes O O P of the stove A, the base H, provided with perfo' rated ring L, diaphragmsff, perforated annular damper hi, and central opening, 0, substantially as herein shown, and for the purpose described.

OARLTON SEAVER.
