FRANCIS GILLILAND, OF PORT JACKSON, NEW YORK.

`STOVE.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 23,363, dated March 29, 1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, F. GILLILAND, of Port Jackson, in the county of Montgomery and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed draw ings, making a part of this specification, in which Figure l, is a vertical central section of a cylinderl stove constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2, is a horizontal section of ditto, taken in the line m, w, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

This invention relates to an improvement in stoves which have sheet iron cases or bodies, and consists in a novel way of lining the same and controlling` the draft, as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby the sheet iron casing or body will be perfectly protected from the tire and the latter at the same time allowed to diffuse its heat without being materially absorbed or obstructed by the lining.

To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention I will proceed to describe it.

A, represents a cast iron base, and B, a sheet metal cylinder placed thereon.

C, is the grate placed in the bottom of the cylinder, D, is the tire chamber, and E, the lining of the same, said lining extending down to the fire grate.

The lining E, is formed of a series of inverted conical basins ax, placed one over the other, each basin being provided with lugs or projections a, at its outer side which rest on the top of the one immediately below it, the top basin having the upper ends of vertical rods b, bent over it, said rods keeping the whole series of basins in proper position. The basins it will be seen by referring to Fig. l, are open both at top and bottom, and the lugs or projections a, allow spaces c, between the basins, the upper edges Vof the basins being in contact with the cylinder B.

F is a cast iron cylinder which is fitted within the sheet iron cylinder B, directly over the tire chamber. rI`he cylinder F, has a perforated flanch d, around its upper part, said fianch extending over the upper edge of the sheet metal cylinder B. The cylinder F, is considerably smaller than the cylinder B, so as to leave a space e, between them; and over the flanch 0l, within the stove a sliding perforated ring or plate f is placed, the plate f, forming with flanch al, a register directly over the space c.

The to-p e, of the cylinder F, is of conical forni provided with openings g, g, and encompassed by a conical band 7i, which forms a register for the upper partof cylinder F.

G, is a cast iron cap which covers the cylinders F, and B, and is provided with a door z'. The smoke pipe H, is attached to the upper end of the cap G, and the cap G, is sutliciently large to allow a space j, between it and the band la., of the top cylinder F.

The operation is as follows: Then a tire is kindled inthe chamber D, the register or slide f is closed and the register or band z., opened. A direct draft is thereby attained and the basins ax, keep of course the tire from the sheet iron case B, while the spaces c, between them allow the heat to come in direct contact with the cylinder B. 'When the tire is sufficiently under way the openings g, may be wholly or partially closed and the slide f, so adjusted as to cause the perforations in the plate f, and fianch d, to register with each other. rlhe products of combustion will then pass up the space c, and j, and into the pipe H, and the draft being rather more circuitous combustion will be checked to certain extent and the heat will not be sufiicient to injure the case B. The direction of the draft may be regulated as desired or as the nature of the case may require by adjusting the slide f, and the band 7l.

From the above description it will be seen that the tire will diffuse its heat instantaneously, nearly as soon as if no lining were employed and still the case will be perfectly protected. The lining E, may be of cast metal or tire brick, cast or molded in the form as described.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In combination with the lining E, and sheet metal case B,the cylinder F, placed within the body of the stove and provided at its top with the register or sliding band z, and a register or slide f, on its ianch d, for the purpose set forth.
