Fire Place.
Patented July 22, 183.7.
ELLISON OONGER, OF NEWARK, NENV JERSEY.
CONSTRUCTION OF G-IRACFES AND FIREPLACES.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 288, dated Ju1y22, 1837.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ELLISON CONGER, of the city of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Mode of Constructing Fireplaces for the Combustion of Anthracite and other Species of Coal; and I do hereby declare that, the following is a full and ex act description of the same.
The nature and peculiarity of my invention consists in supporting the coal upon a hearth and making the flue at or near the bottom of the fireplace; thereby obtaining a Near and parallel to the front edge of the hearthplate, are made several rows of holes through the plate, to permit the ashes to fall into the ash'pan below. The ashpan is divided by a transverse vertical partition into two compartments; the back one. of which is of nearly the same size as the ashpit and fits into it as nearly air-tightas may be. The front compartment'projects a few inches beyond the front of the hearthplate to receive such ashes and coal as may fall from the grate. Upon the hearthplate is placed a movable plate of cast iron, or some other incombustible substance, a little smaller than the hearth, which I denominate the sifter: with holes through it a little smaller than those through the hearth, corresponding with those through the hearth, so arranged, that when the front edges of the two plates are flush with each other, the holes through the two plates do not meet, and an upward access of air to the fire is prevented. The back edge of the sifter is considerably thicker than the front edge, its upper surface forming an inclined plane.
Hence when the sifter is alternately moved backward and forward, (which is done with a suitable pair of tongs) not only the ashes fall into the ashpan, as the holes in the two plates coincide, but the whole body of fuel is moved gently up and down, producing that slight degree of motion and derangement which experience evinces, best conduces to the revival of an anthracite coal fire. It is not essential that the sifter should be thicker at the back edge than at the frgnt.
It will answer the purpose of a support for the fire equally as well if made of a uniform thickness; and, as well also, the purpose of regulating the admission of air to the fire. Nor is itnecessary to use a sifter at all, or to have the'hearth perforated but it will in general be most convenient to use both the sifter and perfora-tedhearth in order to avoid the use. of a poker and the escape of dustto the room.
On each side of the hearthplate I erect the jambs or coverings of the fireplace, and at such a distance from each other as will permit the sifter to move freely between them. At a height about equal tothe mean thickness of the Sifter, I make a small ofi'set f ineach jamb, for the end bars of the grate to rest upon, leavingan appropriate vertical groove, just within the return sides of the janibs, for the grate to slide up and down'in, they are built up perpendicularly to the mantel. Behind the groove, the offsets on the jambs should be as high as the thickest part of the sifter, immediately before the raised edge which constitutes its back, these latter offset are carried back the whole depth of the j'amb, and upon them the back of the fireplace rests: between the s. lower edge of which, and the upper surface of the sifter, a space occurs, and produces a horizontal draft of air through the fire. This I term a direct horizontal draft; but if that space he closed with a damper or otherwise and an aperture be made in one or both of the jambs and on a level with the sifter, we then obtain a lateral horizontal draft.
The back of the fireplace may be con- In the foregoing description I have purposely omitted giving any determinatedimensions for my fireplace, because they must necessarily vary with the size of the rooms to be warmed and the purposes for which the fires may he wanted. Neither have I designated the materials of which the carvings, mantel, and other parts common to all fireplaces should consist. I propose to construct them of brick, marble, soapstone, iron or any other material applicable to the purpose.
WVhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The application of a hearth to support the coal, of the flue at or near the bottom of the fireplace to produce its combustion,
and of the sifter, of the form above cle scribed.
52. I also claim the exclusive right to each,
and every modification of a heat chamber to be attached to the back, or any other parts of fireplaces of the above specified construction; to be used immediately for heating cooking utensils; or intermediately as a reservoir whence heat may be conveyed to other apartments, or apparatus elsewhere placed, to effect any domestic or manufacturing process, in which heat is requisite.
Explanation. of the drawings.
partition of the ashpan should fit tightly under the edge of the hearth-plate; and its back compartment should fit tightly into the ashpit, that, should occasion require, there may be no draught through the hearth and sifter.
Fig. 3, a sectional view of the fireplace;
the letters referring to the same parts as in Fig. 2. The flue between the back and sifter is shown at a, b, the grate at g, g, the groove in which it slides is shown at 71,-2', points out the space between the back and the breast to carry off the gas and dust. K, shows a heat chamber where cooking utensils may be fixed as represented at L, L, Fig. 6, or it may be used as a reservoir, from which heat may be conveyed to any other place where it may he wanted. And this may be done from any of the apertures, as m, m, or n; or by the use of dampers, each one may be used alone, alternately with the other, or the heat may be permitted to escape through an, into the chimney.

Fig. 5, the sifter. At 0, 0, are staples, or ears, into which the hooked ends of the tongs, Fig. 7, are inserted to move the sifter backward and forward, to clear the fire.
.Fig. 6, presents a back view of the fireplace and heat chamber connected.

Fig. 8, represents one mode in which the fireplace may be fitted up; viz, in a case resembling a Franklin, and
Fig. 9, shows the appearance it would have when placed in such a receptacle.
The foregoing description, with the drawings annexed Will, it is believed enable any one skilled in the arts to construct a fireplace involving my principles.
