RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,350, dated December 14, 1880.

Application filed September 13, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GILES F. FILLEY, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made a new and useful Improvement in Ranges, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a view, in perspective, of that part of the range with which the improvement in question is immediately connected, the damper being closed, and a portion of the outer and inner walls being broken away to exhibit the interior construction; and Fig. 2 a similar view, but showing the damper open.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement in three-flue ranges, and it is one of a series of modifications of the construction patented to David H. Nation, J une 1,1880, and numbered 228,270.

In the construction referred to a division strip extends from the back side of the range to the opposite side thereof just beyond the diving flues, and the heat-currents are drawn to the sides of the top flue, and the heat thereby applied to better advantage.

This improvement has especial relation to the construction of the division-strip above mentioned and the diving fines anddamper.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved range having the lire-place B, the flue 0, leading from the fire-place, the diving flues D D, side bottom flues, E E, center bottom flue, F, ascending flue G, flue-space H, and oven I, as in the original construction.

K represents the division-strip extending from the side aof the range to the side a. In place, however, of a continuousimperforat-e strip, as in the construction referred to, it is cut away or perforated above the diving flues D D, and the latter, instead of terminating on the rear side below the level of the oven-top t, are extended fully up to the level of the oven-top t, as shown. This enables the damper M to be placed entirely above the level of the top 'i of the oven, and this, in turn, enables the space H to be made shallower than in the original construction.

A slide-damper is preferably used, and it is operated by means of the rod m.

To heat the oven the damper M is closed, and the course of the heat-currents is then as follows: from the flue 0 down the flues D D, and thence, through the flues E E F G, into the flue H. From this last-named flue the currents pass into a flue, N, that extends along the side a of the range out to the escape N, which is arranged at or near the center of the side a of the range, and substantially as in the original construction.

For direct draft the damper is drawn out, as in Fig. 2, and the heat-currents then pass from the flue 0 through the openings in the strip K into the space H, and thence to the escape N, through the flue N.

I claim- 1. In a range, A, the combination of the flues O, H, and N, said flues O and H being separated by the strip K, and said strip being arranged, extended, and perforated or cut away substantially as described.

2. The combination, in the range A, of the fluesO,DD,EE,F,G,H,and N,and thedamper M, said flues O and H being separated by the strip K, and said strip being arranged, extended, and perforated or cut away substantially as described.
