vGRATE FIRE-PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,485, dated September 27, 1881,
Application filed December 31, 1880. (No model.)
v of Cincinnati, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Grate Fire-Places, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to cconomize fuel and radiate into the room the heat usually absorbed by the walls of the fire-place or carried up the flue by means of a device which can be cheaply made, will occupy but little space in the room, and will present the neat and cheerful appearance of the ordinary grate tire-place. These objects are accomplished by the means illustrated in the laccompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a front elevation of my improved grate lireplace. Fig. 2 is a transverse horizontal sectional plan taken above the grate or dre-basket iu line :v x of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a central vertical transverse section.
Referring to the parts, which are indicated by identical letters throughout the various` views, A is a sheet-metal plate of a size to cover the customary grate-opening in the chimney and rest against the wall surrounding the Opeli- Ing.
The fire-hack B is a segment ot a corrugated dome-shaped shell, lnade preferably of castiron. It has a thimble, b, which projects from its back through plate A, to receive a pipe which extends into the liue, and the customary lugs are cast upon it to support the grate C. The fire-back is held in place by a perforated molded frame, D, the inner front portion of which rests against the front edge of the fireback B. The purpose of the perforations in frame D is to provide for the admission of air through the lower ones, and permit of its escape into the room through the upper ones after it has been heated. The front D and plate A extending from the end bars.
are secured together at their outer edges, firmly holding the firebox between them.
The grate C is supported upon the lugs cast upon the inside ofthe fire-back by journal-pins One of these journals extends through the back B and front D, and has a square or angular end to receive a key or wrench,by which the grate maybe shaken or tilted to free it of ashes.
\Vithin the pipe or curved thimble b is a damper, E, which is actuated by a rod, c, which extends throughthe front D, and has a knob or handle upon its outer end, by which the damper may he turned to regulate the draft.
VMy improved grate fireplace is secured in front ofthe ordinary fire-place opening bythe back plate, A, being held firmly against the wall. The back may have around its outer edges inwardly-projecting flanges to retain a lining of asbestus or other non-conducting material, so as to insure a more perfect radiation ofthe heat given off by the lire-back into the room.
I claimv A lire-place grae adapted to be set on the hearth in front of and covering the opening of an ordinary fire-place, constructed substantially as before set forth-that is to say, of a back plate, a grated tire-box adjacent thereto, and provided with a smoke flue projecting through an opening in said back plate, and a tire-boxinclosing and retaining frame, which forms an ornamental front, and is perforated to allow thc heat radiated from the rear of the re'hox to enter the room.
