STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 282,660, dated August 7, 1883.

Application filed April 6,1583. (Modell To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM H. Novias' and ELLA A. NOYES, of Newburyport, in the county of Essex and Stateof Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Stove rlops and Sliding Covers, of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact, to enable rany person skilled in the art or science to which .said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of' this specification, in which- Figurel is an isometrical perspective view, representing the stove with its cover centrally arranged; Fig. 2, a plan view showing the cover moved to the left, Fig. 3, a like view, showing it moved to the right; and Fig. 4, a plan view representing the body of the stove.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of u the drawings.

Our invention relates to that class of stoves in which kerosene or the hydrocarbon oils are used for fuel; and it consists in anovel construe` tion and arrangement yof the parts, as hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed, by which a more effective device of this character is produced than is now in ordinary use.

Thenature and operation of the improvement will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, its extreme simplicity rendering `an elaborate description unnecessary.

In the drawings, A represents the body of the stove, B the burner, andCthe combustionchamber, these parts being of ordinary construction.

Projecting horizontally from either side of the combustion-chamber there is a flange, D, the top of the flange being on a plane with the top of the chamber.

The cover E is provided near its center with two holes, G H, its ends being elongated or extended beyond these holes, as shown at Z Z, the extensions corresponding in size and form with the flanges D,which they cover when the cover is centrally arranged. The cover is also providedV with a smaller hole, J, disposed in the extension Z', and with a downwardly-projecting flange, my, ou either side, being fitted Ytime for cooking purposes.

is made over other sliding covers,which allow the hot air to escape at the ends or sides of the stove-top. Y

In the use of our improvement, when the cover of the stove is `centrally arranged, as shown. in Fig. l, the holes G H will be di rectly over the combustion-chamber, and the hole J closed .by one of the langes D. When the cover is moved to the left, as shown in Fig.A 2, the holes J H will be directly over the combustion-chamber, and the holeG partly over the chamber and partly oyer one of the iianges D, and when moved to the right, as shown in Fig. 3, the hole G will b'e directly over the burner B, the hole H partly over the combustion-chamber and partly over one ofthe flanges D, and the hole J open or beyond the flange. Vhen the cover is moved into a position to bring the hole H directly over the burner B, the hole J over the combustion-chamber C, and the hole G partly over the combustion-chamber C and partly over the fic ngepD, it will thus enable all three ofthe holes to be used at the same When the cover is so arranged that either of its holes extend beyond the eombustion-chamber, it will be seen that the flanges D will not only prevent the escape of the flame, hot air, or products of combustion under the cover downward into the room,but also direct them upwardly around the cooking-vessel on the studs, thereby saving a loss of heat.

The extensions Z Z serve to cover the ends of the combustion-chamber when the cover is moved to theV right or left to bring the holes G H directly over the burner, thereby preventing the escape of hot air and the products of combustion upwardly from the combustion chamber.

It will be understood that the holes G H J are all to be provided with lids of the ordinary construction, and that one or more of them l may be closed or covered, as required. It will also be obvious that when it is re-A quired to move the covel to bring either of the holes G H directly over the burner, as described, the other holes will not be opened in such a manner as to let the hot airor ,products of combustion escape downwardly into the room, thus greatly increasing the capacity of the device and obviating an objection which' pertains to many stoves of this character.

XVe do not confine ourselves to the use of a burner adapted for burning vkerosene orother oils, as gast may be substituted therefor, if 4desired, without departing from the spirit of our invention, which having thus explained,

That we claim is- Y I 1. The improved stove'herein described, the same consisting of the body A, having the?y burner B, depressed combustion-chamber 0,1 and flanges D, in combination with the sliding` cover E, having the holes G H J, and exten-I vsions Z Z, said extensions resting upon and,

lying vin close contact with said flanges, and

all constructed, combined, and arranged to operate substantially as set forth.

'2. In a stove-top having a sliding cover, substantially such as described, the flanges D, projecting beyond the combustion-chamber, and adapted to close or partially close one or more of the `holes in the cover, substantially as and for the purpose specied.

3. In combination with the depressed com!
